I can't believe how much faster it is to get a value from a Dictionary<string, string> than it is to get a value from a List<MyClass> using LINQ and a predicate. Guys it's so much faster. For a few million iterations I'm talking several hours vs. a couple of minutes.

Here’s an example of why indexes can add crazy performance gains in SQL Server. We had an old index but it was missing a field and cover so I added it. Total duration went from 1hr execution time per hour (at 50-75k executions) to under 15s per hour (at 1.25mil executions).

Smart: Write a simple console app that uses FTP libraries to pull 100k+ files from a server. Smarter: Write a simple console app that generates a custom transfer queue to run in FileZilla (also getting auto retry, parallelization, file comparison, auth negotiation, etc.)

Honest question: If someone had a database of, say, 1mil pages of content, a high percentage being spam, plus related records like username, email, IP address, signup date, content revision history, etc. Would that be of any value for any company? And by value I mean bucks.

Donald Lee Luis Pulido People don’t stop for a second to realize insurance *is* a form of socialized healthcare. It’s just a fucking worse one with tremendous waste and unequal care.

I spend tons of time learning topics like critical thinking, logic/reason, skepticism, science, evolution, and physics. Most people I work or spend time with are educated, reasonable, and progressive. So when I encounter someone who is anti-science or anti-LGBTQ it baffles me.

I’m kind of done with this platform at this point I think. Maybe I’ll be back but I’m honestly not sure. Where else can I connect with you?
