You didn't state a single reason why you think that grabbing multiple resultsets in a single trip to the database is a bad idea though... The only real argument I've ever seen against it has to do with "Separation of Concerns

This is my number one gripe about PGSQL. It's never had "real stored procedures", a feature which has been on the TODO list for a long, long time and nobody is even working on it. See Server-Side Languages/Implement stor

Probably not. But I bet the $20 pair will work a lot longer than 5 hours per charge. I have wireless headsets that last 20 hours on a charge. 5 measly hours is ridiculous and it makes all those other features "not worth it".

I don't think so. Thanks for your input though!

The lead actor here is the misdirected war on drugs. You sound like you're all for prohibition though, so I guess that did not occur to you. > spawning/enabling a generation of drug addicts whose lives are going to fall apart a

And window management. And display management. And file management. And you can only launch one instance of an app at a time. And you have to wait forever for Apple to update your hardware. And they are so, so, so many other problems with m

Why add features that users don't really care about before features that users do really care about? There are a minimum set of extended functions that I need from a browser that I'm going to use daily. They are: a speed dial that

Well, the thread is about "App Store Improvements". That's the title of the post. Also, I AM a mobile developer... I mostly browse the web on my iPad. I use very few premium apps. Procreate was the last one that I purchased.

I would like A flag that tells me whether the app contains ads or not. It really sucks to download and install an app just to find out that it displays ads. I don't use apps that have ads.

Brave has a desktop mode that mostly works and a built-in adblocker. It does not have a `quick JS disable` button. It also doesn't have a speed dial that I can manually add items to, which is one very important item that I forgot to me

For a web browser? You really want to pay 3 dollars for a web browser? Also - Are you really surprised that people balk at paying for things that were once free? Really???? Furthermore, Dolphin has a "Private Mode" and it does not

Do you want to build a web browser or a web browser engine? If you just want to build a web browser, here's my request for a new browser for iOS since web browsing on iOS is a second or third rate experience: - Built-in ad-blocking. -

I love to see Apple get hit with the kind of taxes that they themselves put on the marketplace with their over-priced hardware and the 30% cut that they take from the captive/locked-in audience of developers and users. Down with Apple.

Not every drug is addictive. Marijuana isn't, not physiologically speaking. Furthermore a very high majority of users do not become dependent on the most addictive drugs such as heroin [1]. It's pretty simple to me - The war on dr

You want WinForms then. UWP is right out the door with you last requirement. WPF is out with the 2nd and 3rd ones if you're targeting Win7.

by WayneBro 10y ago
UWP or WPF is absolute overkill for a simple front-end to a command line app. WinForms is the only right choice here.

1) No problem because the new configs aren't there for no reason. 2) Every OS has bugs. You won't get away from that by switching. 3) I often see this fact quoted but nobody ever points out how it has actually ever caused a proble

The simple fact that there are NUMEROUS third party solutions to make OS X window management more like Windows and that there are NONE that try to make Windows or Linux window management more like OS X speaks volumes. Apple got it wrong.

Hiding a window doesn't mean I never want to switch back to it again. And, your complex situation for usage of Minimize isn't helping here. It actually proves the opposite point - Apple implemented the Minimize command incorrectly
