Fascinating story and the use of virus to repair genetic anomalies. What other uses can there be of similar conditions? And why aren't we hearing more of it (if the approach is viable)?

There is no default life script. Everyone is a myth legend. A hero. You can't fault an opinion piece like the posted article, but there's a chink in this thinking. Such opinions - give agency early and it will yield dividends not

Is there a good full example of Closure (or languages like Closure) that deals with a complete and real-world data-intensive problem (eg. order processing system) that I can go through to see how languages like Closure embody this simplicit

Thanks. Can you comment on how this differs from a “mutable” RDBMS model but one with automatic history based on triggers for example?

Yeah, by all means, make you employees put in those extra hours, but please pay them additionally for their extra hours fairly. The moral hazard (for abuse) is squarely in the employer's camp if the financial consequence of allowing a

Right now, yeah. But if this tech trend (miniature, low power, cheap, commodity) continues and we can run our apps on them ... it might be a game changer. No?

This is so exciting. Is this type of "movement" (trend) likely to see data centers coming back on premises for enteprise markets? (ie. back from cloud)

If you write your views, tvf and stored procedures to use common elements defined once and once only (this starts with once and once only tables ), maintenance is easy peasy. If you let every developer create their own view for the same bu

Thanks. I love reading this type of grammar preppie school prose - a communication style designed for elites to recognize another deserving of status. It wasn’t until recently that I learned that most folks didn’t talk this way back then. T
