And now my patent will be issued tomorrow!!
And as you would imagine it's NOT a chemistry patent!
@dday - good luck! Sounds like an interesting change for you!

There are 13 NFL teams without a Super Bowl ring so all and all I can't complain. As for the draft picks, that's a crap shoot. I'd take one proven pro bowler over three draft picks.
Though now I would have to admit I'm teetering on how I feel about the team. I don't like Gruden (he left and then beat the Raiders in the Super Bowl) I'm not a real forgiving. But the main problem is this Las Vegas move. This is the second time (actually third time but second from Oakland) they've moved the team and to be honest, I don't give a dam what their reasons were. You'll never see me wearing a Las Vegas Raiders hat. Right now I'm feeling that I'll keep track of the team and be happy when they do good but that's about it.
Man, I completely agree with you there. That is why I don't understand Coach Gruden's decision to trade Amari Cooper for a 1st round draft pick.Quote:

I would have thought it would be in Irvine as thats the new Silicon Valley.Quote:

Don't agree with that. There is no time when a person shouldn't try to make the country better. Protesting against unfair practices, even at work, is something that should be allowed up to the point that you are working for somebody else (they can fire you if they want, but with all the true (personal) political baggage around that). We were told we weren't to talk about salmon, at one point. Not quite as sensitive as race, but it was pretty similar, as it was driven by a desire to keep an unpopular view silent. The person who handed down that rule ended up being fired, but not over that. He did manage to silence the voices he didn't want to hear.Quote:

Its the taxes, sales taxes and cost of living. Funds raised from the taxes are being squandered on stupid projects that no one wants or needs. For example the lame bullet train from LA to SF costing us billions and billions (think its 15 billion). We have roads and freeways that could have greatly benefited from that money to for repair and upgrades. We could have bought 37 of those specialized firefighting air planes with billions left over. But instead we want to rent them at $1.5 million a day. Our infrastructure is failing as its old and over used.Quote:

My brother and his family will probably move out first as hes staying for the same reason I am.
I mentioned to my wife that the Dead Kennedy's were singing about Gov. Jerry Brown in 1979, yet in 2018 he is still the Governor of California (I deliberately left out that break between then, but the point still remains).
Yea many believe hes going senile.Quote:

Good luck DD. It'd be great to see you a programming career so you can actually use the stuff you do on here.

Pretty cool, though. Good job!
I can start talking about it without NDA now - that's going to be a hard habit to break! Investors would be cool right now - that's what I'm asking Santa for!
Thats awesome Steve!!Quote:

The "necessity" part of the "mother of invention" was when two partners (that I have in this venture) and I were creating a document management system. Typically you tell these kinds of systems what kind of "tags" you want in advance for indexing the documents. I went into these R&D sessions ADAMANT that I would not allow tables and indexes to be created for each and every lookup possibility.
The ever more common "key/value" databases have no relationships and indexes at all...
I guess we are the best of both worlds.
This would be our new "elevator pitch" - I got to change a word today!
Typical RDBMS implementation
Typical Key/value implementation. How do you INDEX for COLOR? Or TRANSMISSION for that part?
There is ZERO schema here - thus ZERO relationship.
So the burn, imo, is the number of tables and columns in the RDBMS - that entity count gets higher and higher and flexibility tanks.
Must get off that ride - limit to one TABLE - one COLUMN - one INDEX - all in one.
That is what is unique and got us the patent. You would have to go to the PAIR site - https://portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair - and look up that patent # - go to PUBLISHED documents - click on the PATENT - click on IMAGES button - figure 1E and 1F - on sheet 5. That is the magic sauce - I can clearly recall the "aha" moment that they say is part of this process - on a bus going to Medieval Times as a chaperone!
Couldnt locate the images but bottom line, will this make you money?
So, a bus to something old led you to something new? Everybody knows that.
Actually, since this discussion is running the very real risk of being serious, I should also add that I was kind of skimming, and saw the bit about "medieval" and "bus", and thought you were talking about some old hardware architecture.
I can remember working on my first medieval bus - really just a loop of water. Did control traffic though - packets were either let in or dropped in the moat.
Next came the Token Ring - unfortunately that was a misspelling - it was really a Tolkien ring.
Output was done through Defenestration Windows (v0.0.0). And that output was permanent to say the least!
That is sorely hoped for!Quote:

@SzLamany, I'm interested but the link doesn't work for me (says "Service Unavailable") and I don't understand what's new about that from what you've posted here. There obviously is something new because you got your patent but it looks like a standard document orientated database. What am I missing? (I'm guessing what I'm missing is at the other end of that link)
Yeah, you're missing the other end of the link. The examples shown were, "this is what we have now", whereas there was no such picture for "this is what it new". That is what's in the link.
Ah, I miss-read it and thought the second post was "this is what is new". Hopefully the link'll work for me from home. I've been looking for a decent way of implementing schemaless storage for a while now so I'll be very curious to see what SzLamany has achieved.Quote:

Happy Friday guys!
I'm headed up to Ft. Hood this weekend to visit my brother and then headed to Cali next weekend! This is a busy December!
I'm currently in Orlando, and heading home tomorrow. It's going to be a SERIOUSLY long day, as it looks like I have a good 5 hour layover in Denver. At least Denver is a good airport to spend time in.
Haha! Chit chat died. I'm just gonna win this Post Race discreetly.....
Sure did become moribund.
Flying home, I had a five hour layover in Denver. Denver airport is a nice place to pass some time....except that my flight to get there was delayed so much that I didn't arrive at Denver until after my connection had left, so I ended up with only a three hour layover till the next option. That were a long 'un.
Just here slaving away with work.
My truck is in the shop... again.
I'm waiting on McDonalds from UberEats while making a more sophisticated NES emulator in C++ with accurate cycle timing :bigyello:
Emulators intrigue me, but I’m not a hardware guy so I get lost in the documentation for the systems.
I wouldnt mind making a Philips CD-I emulator. Most of the code can be found on Github for M.A.M.E anyways.
I need to start my xmas shopping. Never any free time :(
Ok I am really bored! We just had free breakfast burritos at work and Im getting food coma. Someone post something interesting and keep me awake lol
Can't. Go do your shopping.
I’ll give you a musical moment of the day – if you are so interested.Quote:

Google for SMOOTH CRIMINAL and go to Video’s. Scroll down to ALIEN ANT FARM – that’s the cover version – watch it first.
Now got back to the google search – watch the Michael Jackson version – pick the SINGLE VERSION so you only have to do 4 minutes – unless you want a 9 minute MJ moment.
Alien Ant Farm's cover was kinda cool but I did get bored of the whole light hearted/comedy skatepunk think that blew up a few years ago. Too many songs about "that girl who hangs out with the jocks and hasn't noticed me because I'm too nerdy" and punked up covers or 80s and 90s pop songs. After a while it all got a bit samey.
I went hunting today and got a nice sized squirrel.
9mm for reference.
Come shoot all the squirrels over at my house!! Damn things get into my engine bay of my cars, eat our oranges leaving a mess and generally cause our dog to bark disturbing the neighbors and now he has a bark collar :(Quote:

I've got a tremendous hickory in my yard. Broomstick hickory or pignut hickory. Seems wood has value. How would one go about figuring that out?
