We were kids so don't look for anything deep, but their stuff even to my fashion-unconscious eyes looked ugly and it had a poor reputation for quality. Audio products definitely wasn't as good in sound quality as Aiwa and other Ja

When I was at school Philips was infamous for just not getting it . Looks like decades later nothing's changed. I think there's an american word for this, or close: jagoff.

Para 3: "Some readers may ask: what is dynamic SQL? Dynamic SQL is when you write SQL code into a string variable and then execute the contents of that variable" so yes it does.

I'm using dynamic SQL right now because generating almost a thousand almost-identical statements by hand would be stupid. It is necessary sometimes.

I think the mnemonic link matters for beginners, but let's say I agree with you. By calling the link ephemeral haven't you just undermined your own argument that the terminology is a barrier?

Then you destroy any remaining trace of a link between the key binding and the action. You can imagine the conversation "control p to go up? Control y to paste? v to go down – perhaps that's v for vertically down or something? Who

If you can explain to me how these 'global variables' can be somehow made local or somehow more restrictive and still be useful, I'd be interested. If you can equally explain to me why you want the database to clear the varia

You're talking about terminology being a barrier to entry. Terminology is trivial but suppose we changed it (yank -> paste, kill -> cut etc). Now you'll not be happy with the key bindings (C-y to paste, C-k to cut) and want

I fear I may be wasting my time replying, but I'm going to try and understand where you're coming from rather than answer your question about Emacs. Your complaint comes across very much like moaning that strawberries are not the

Good luck with your decision, whichever it is! My only suggestion is avoid Gnus which I found an incredibly flaky mess and regretted ever touching it.

The following is my personal experience only. When I decided to learn Emacs I bought a book (the fat O'Reilly one),sat down and practised the keystrokes. I made a few scratch notes as well. Within a few hours, not days, I found movemen

by _a_a_a_ 3y ago
While I completely get what you're saying it's not really fair to expect Emacs to be compatible with systems that came after it. If you going to work in Emacs you have to pretty much work on its terms, which I think is fairly re

> No. For a given baseline, perhaps yes?. Kelvin has its baseline inherent, for C you can pick what you like if you're clear about it . Perhaps. (Edit: and using only positive or negative temps as pointed out above)

by _a_a_a_ 3y ago
Yeah, kelvin strictly speaking, but for reactors on earth (not in 3 kelvin outer space) with a baseline earth-ambient temperature, perhaps multiplicative C is valid, very approximately? I don't know, I guess I'm asking.
