It appears the root of his problem is an old database in a weird format. If he just gave access (to the DB) I'm sure a fellow githuber / HNer could probably get the database converted correctly for him to some other DB or format.

Maybe so. But the author says "drown" not swim. I presume you knew how to float if you weren't afraid of the water? I have seen adults that refuse to take lessons because... because... they are afraid. So regardless I still

It is ironic the author uses a swimming metaphor: "If their instructors had focused on making them feel good about swimming, instead of on making them swim, they could have drowned." Swimming is almost natural. Most mammals can

"Non-tiered AOT compiled code behaves similarly to statically compiled C++ code, in that no profiling information is collected and no JIT recompilations will happen." My question is how much memory can be saved by not having the

I'm somewhat reminded of some Einstein quotes (probably dubious but whatever): "You ask me if I keep a notebook to record my great ideas. I've only ever had one." and "It's not that I'm so smart, it&#x2

A long time ago (20-30 years ago) there was a somewhat analogous situation with Microsoft (Apple) and IBM (Google). IBM was the "diversified" company particularly after it acquired Lotus which was suppose to make IBM compete with

Speaking of good "taste" you could apply your "taste" to what are worthy tests and what are not (ie adding just maintenance). The fact of the matter is you need some sort of testing to happen or some sort of proof that y

I had to go out of my way to confirm that he apparently is serious as the inverse would be an interesting piece of satire. IMO The article should probably be flagged. Not because I care what side but because it is political.

For me the most suspenseful game would have to be Dead Space. The start of that game actually scared the crap out of me.

The one thing I didn't like about Doom is the surreal look both of the artistic and map layout. e.g. no space ship or space station would ever be designed like that (it is the same with Star Wars Death stars... did no one think of putt
