I've got a Kona EV subscription from Hyundai. I just took a trip to Crater Lake and was able to charge every night I was there. At least one person had brought their extension cable and was charging via their cabin's electrical ou

I have a coworker who creates work tickets for me and a fair bit of my work time is spent deciphering what they meant in their tickets. It's not uncommon for me to interview him on almost every ticket, writing extensive notes with clar

Why do you think there was a mass surveillance of American domestic communications since forever ago, as leaked by Snowden? This technology has been available since then and can effectively summarize millions of pieces of communication.

I'm attempting to recall an analogy from a paper about this subject. One of the authors gave the analogy of time being like a river. If we are traveling down this river, and the river is changing speed ahead (maybe due to rocks or a

That's a good point. This would rule out SQLite for me.

Nice, that is what I was looking for. Of course, it'd need to point to production data as well, so maybe test_case is null, in that case: CREATE TABLE data_a AS (SELECT 'a' AS test_case, 1 AS value); CREATE TABLE data_

What if I wrote a very long, complicated query that I'd like to test against different tables (like test tables), and let's say I can't use stored functions or procedures. How could I pass different tables to my query?

Furthermore, stored procedures/functions are not queries.

I just applied for an Elm job a month ago. It's not dead, it's just super niche.

I actively avoid it. The SQL languages have no default libraries for testing. Furthermore, SQL cannot be easily composed, or abstracted into modules, so there is no sense in testing it. It is not designed to be tested.

I will definitely use this. I've been looking for something like this to quickly share my ideas with other students.

Today, car ownership is a horrible value proposition. The car lobby has been all too successful in making America car-centric, which is a shame, because cars are great, but they aren't the only form of transportation out there. I&#x27

My idea is you wouldn't have to cut and paste implementations like this. You would be able to just call the function with a column name and table name.

Yes but for 99% of your needs, aren't types going to help you? Sure I can write some types that don't terminate but in practice is this really an issue?

I think I see what you're saying, and in my idea I'm suggesting the same - sending the function(s) to the data.

I'm not familiar with Ecto, dplyr, or DBT, but I would love an ML-like language to replace SQL. I'm imagining being able to pass a table (or any table-oriented data, like a sub-query) to functions that would type-check columns an

I think people care more about correctness, in general. I think we used to just be happy that code worked at all.

Okay, great. You are a maintenance programmer. You have a 1000-line program all in one file. You need to update the e-mail functionality of this program. You aren't following a stack trace or following a particular code path. Ther

Jumping around is the nature of code in general, whether its in a 1000-line file or split up amongst multiple files. For a maintenance programmer, they may already understand how everything works. They aren't following a particular co

I could see this working with vim folding. That's an interesting approach. I never really used folding in IDEs.

I find SQL harder to work with because I'm used to reading and writing functions - functions that have explicit parameters with (hopefully) explicit types, and explicit return types. So I was hoping PRQL might have some sugar like that

Thank you for all of the different viewpoints, it's starting to make sense now. I've used JSON schema before in one of my previous projects. I'll keep it in mind for next time.
