control-Q and control-S freeze/unfreeze the output stream (can't remember which is which). May be that?

Ok downvoter, why do you think a DB that needs hints for good performance is better than one that usually doesn't? That is, why do you think it better a person does a computer's job instead of the computer?

Using hints is typically a sign of failure. The DB optimiser should typically not need them .

There is a euphorbia (a hoodia? can't recall reference) with a chemical 500 times stronger than capsaicin. IIRC so strong it destroys the receptor. Anyone have a ref while I paw through my memory slowly? Edit: here it is, resiniferatox

A while back someone, replying to one of my comments, mentioned affordances in C#. He simply meant procedure or function, but chose to use a fancier sanding, more abstract word which really confused me. There is too much misuse of pompous l

I'd say a generation is the time for a newborn to grow up and have their own first kid born. Typically that's been under 20 years. May be changing now, getting later, but I usse ~20 years as rule of thumb for one generation.

OK, not what I expected. Surely a spec is a spec, the program fulfils the spec hopefully, and the proof is that the program implements the spec. How do you see it? thanks
