Easy human readability is a massive win when you have to diagnose problems.

> resulting in the compiler having to guess if you really meant 0 or whatever NULL IIRC you had to cast 0 to a pointer, which made it a null pointer as distinct from arithmetic zero. Or am I confusing myself... It's been a while.

I like your "pure violence" comparison. As the other guy says, trick is to use it sparsely. Think of it as salt to be used by the pinch rather than sugar to be used by the spoonful.

I can well imagine doing that with French mustard, or as I do, spooning it straight out of the jar. I certainly wouldn't consider doing the same with English mustard.

Have you any evidence of quantum and relativistic theories converging? If so, please point. I'm unaware of any.

Apparently forests aren't part of the ecosphere :) Who knew.

Are we though? All I see is a lot of effort followed by a lot of reaching (yet again) for the aspirin and/or whiskey. Have you any examples showing recent convergence between quantum & relativity?

Right, I'm starting to get the picture. I've never worked with an ORM as my SQL is pretty solid. I have to put my hands up here and say I don't know, sorry.

Perhaps I can help, or maybe learn something. I don't really understand the confusion here, you write a stored procedure, you document it, test it, peer review it, then stuff it into the database. You then write code that uses it. No s

If you are allowed to create new schema objects then you can create views over the tables. Give the views a consistent name, but create the view to reference the actual table you want. Then update the view.

It's just a petulant rant against authority figures. Ignore stuff like that.

umm, "Even negative reinforcement and beatings are a way that was a "learning style" at one point" is a teaching style, not a learning style.

Thank you, but I did see the whole answer (the second paragraph) when I responded. I sort of know what you're saying about not spoon feeding people, but learning happens best for a person according to that person, and working backwards

Exactly what I understood, that Haskell was intentionally a language laboratory.

Didn't have time to read it but listened via LibriVox. It's a story of a violent age where thuggery ruled. Women were at the mercy of men (E.g. Penelope having to just about control a bunch of 'suitors'). I can't fi

Dunno, but Monkey ('Journey to the West') by Wu Cheng'en was a great book as I remember. Wish I had time to read it again.

Perhaps I misread "Maybe take a walk and get some fresh air?" - no worries though.

Interesting, thanks. A quick note, SPARC designers apparently did not talk to the compiler writers so didn't understand how much inlining could do, and implemented register windows as the wrong solution. Conversely I understand the alp

I share your distaste for people whose only contribution is subtraction but suggest you lay off the sarcasm though. Trolls; don't feed. (Well done on your project BTW)

"And because it [cat-sup] was fermented, it boasted a shelf life of one to seven years." does that really follow?
