My experience is the exact opposite. Only absolutely beginner php/mysql guys do that. And they do so because they don't understand joins. You can't even do outer joins implicitly without vendor specific extensions (which a

Your first paragraph seems to be entirely nonsense. Almost everyone was first introduced to a high level language. This did not prevent anyone from understanding that those languages are themselves software, written by people. In fact, y

Haskell is a far cry from just lazy ML. Oddly enough, your summary of go would be far more appropriate for haskell, which makes go's concurrency handling look primitive.

Postgresql advice from a mysql user. Foreign keys don't need indexes on the from side, and they should be pointing to a primary key on the to side so that is already covered. In mysql you likely want an index on the from side because

I am fully aware of what the typeclass defines. It is an inappropriate name. I don't think there is anyone who likes those names. Everyone uses <> instead of mappened. Append is inappropriate because you do not append lots of

You are using the exact reasoning I was talking about. Monoids are monoids. That is what they are. 99% of programmers are not familiar with them. If you call it "addable" or "joinable" or "appendable" then

No it doesn't. It is a common term for tables that are just foreign keys to other tables, generally for expressing many to many relationships.

I'm not. I am blaming you for presenting a statistic in a misleading way. You are suggesting that courts are fair because fathers get custody when they seek it. But you are leaving out the part where they only seek it in cases of ab

Nothing you said addresses my point. Notice how only 8% of fathers are seeking custody? Why is that? Using statistics to deliberately mislead people is dishonest.
