    Anyone take UNISA's B.Sc in applied math and computer science?

    For Actuarial Science you're going to need a solid grounding in statistics and probability theory with a decent dose of economic/finance theory. You could look at UNISA's BSc (Applied) Mathematics and Statistics. The BSc Mathematics and Statistics will probably be more theoretical, when...

    Stuck with a SQL query.

    A bit late to the party here, the SQL `in` operator is a (relatively speaking) expensive operation - though sometimes it is the only solution. In the case that the amount of items you need to filter for is large, it may be a better idea to place the numbers to be searched in an in-memory...

    Entity Framework & Lazy Loading

    Your choice. I prefer the latter, as it is more explicit about which id is being referred to. This is fine. The only time it may cause some confusion is if you've used the Fluent API to change the name of the column in your table to be different to the name of the property in your class - but...

    Regular Expressions

    Just so we're on the same page here: * You have some string, say `bbb`. * You're trying to find out whether a regular expression containing two b's would return two matches or not? Well that depends on the settings of the engine you're using (or if I understand that you're creating)...

    Sort of, as soon as I am routed via utq-cust.coolideas.co.za, 154.0.4.105, or 154.0.4.54, I start experiencing packet losses of greater than 5%. Edit: You can add uvd-cust.coolideas.co.za to the list above.

    Culprit seems to be the hop between 154.0.3.133 and several other nodes (154.0.3.22, 154.0.4.46, 154.0.4.117, uv9-cust.coolideas.co.za, etc.) - I am experiencing anywhere between 5% to around 20% packet loss on that hop.
