@author, Thanks for this, will read, but your webpage is 50% white space; there's almost nothing on the left with all content pushed into the right half. I'm used to this kind of breakage with jscript disabled but (kudos!) you don

OK. How?

Inheritance should be used for interfaces, not code reuse (unless that comes free with it).

Cockroaches can be imported by a person ? How on earth does that happen.

> but we're living in the same world with the same general patterns and limitations seems odd. What 'patterns' and 'limitations' do you still see? Because I see so much has changed.

Could you explain "above arithmetic in the hierarchy" in a few words, TIA, never heard of this

Or you could have posted a link to an unrot site instead of possibly spoiling it for others.

Yes, I understand a little about Unicode in this kind of problem, but a code point is an individual logical item even if it is composed of multiple bytes; being a kind of 'string' in itself. I should have asked more carefully, wha

It's information-dense and informative (also over my head). As such it feels absolutely nothing like product placement. I think you're being needlessly cynical.

Why? How does it fail?

I can't see in the article any mention of the metal type used where there is skin contact. Metal for piercings can't be any old thing as people can develop allergies to the metal, usually from the nickel leaching out. Apparently t

You're right, I misunderstood. Thanks.

By deep-copying it, right? Sometimes it is needed.

You seem to think that a choice of two things isn't a choice. If/when Firefox disappears and you only have chrome, that is what I would call not having a choice. To repeat: if you can choose between two things then you've g

Sure! Use a library that deep-clones the object first, leaving the original parameter unchanged! And now it's slower than the original library you're criticising.

thanks for the detail!

True, a foreign key by itself is just a business requirement. A foreign key constraint is what the database does to enforce that. There's rarely any confusion about the two concepts, though.
292.
by _a_a_a_ 3y ago
A better post than I expected. The only thing I'd add is that foreign keys can actually improve read times because the optimiser knows it can safely skip certain joins e.g. if you have inner equi-joins between tables a, b and c a

From article "Imagine that we run this query over a few hundred million rows. This means at least a few hundred million hash table operations. As you might imagine, a slow hash table would make for a slower query. A faster hash table?

It didn't appear constructive, just implying that they were going to do their best to lose the email. Here in the UK it's quite easy to get stuff fixed. A few years ago, a single complaint to trading standards by me got a can rela

I kind of agree, but given the amount of locking[1] that would entail, the drop-off in performance would have those self-same users squalling about how slow it was . And then they had rewrite everything with a (NOLOCK) without understanding

If you can't add anything useful, stay out. Although I wonder if it was your house to burn down whether you might feel a little differently about doing the right thing. The answer is, you CC trading standards(Or your country's equ
