Yeah, did Hitler get corrupted by power? No, power just enabled him to realize the ideals he had held since he was a nobody.

I was just curious how Elm protects you from quirks like the 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3 example.

Rounding errors are unavoidable when representing an infinite amout of numbers in a fixed number of bits. But in many cases a decimal type (like in C#) would have more intuitive behvior than binary floating point. A decimal type have been p

All practical languages has quirks, but JavaScript have significantly more quirks than the average language.

Nice! So what is the result of 0.2 + 0.1 in Elm?

Yeah, a celebrity is someone who is celebrated. The “quick rise to fame” explanation seem like a folk-etymology.

Nothing new though - Elvis never wrote a song either, but he had the look. Performative art is biased towards beauty and charismatic artists. Also true in opera since forever.

Yes there is! A table should have a primary key, which ensures no two rows in a table are exactly equal. So the simple solution with ‘a except b’ should work. Lots of otherwise simple things get complicated with duplicates, e.g. try to chan

Note that a lot of people can agree that newer music is crap but wildly disagree about when the good music was made. Just in this thread you can see some claim good music was made until 1985, some say it was until the 90’s some say it was

What you describe is pretty common - a segement of younger people preferring older music, typically the music of their parents generation. This is nothing new either, not every young person liked Elvis either.

> there are come qualities of being better or worse that most people can agree on Maybe, but enough people like modern day pop music, so by that criteria it is good.

The question is about tokenizing XHTML, not parsing it into a tree structure like a DOM, which is a critical distinction. Regular expressions are a perfectly valid way to tokenize. This is why the snarky answers does not suggest a better so

JSON does not define a type system, but javascript defines null as the only value of the null type. This works fine in eg typescript since you can use a type union of null and any other type, if you want to indicate a nullable value.

But how to represent missing values in left/right/outer joins?

by bazoom42 3y ago
A lot of confusion comes from SQL nulls having the same name as nulls in programming languages. They are conceptually completely different things. Nulls in programming languages are a special “sentinel” value indicating the lack of an objec

As soon as you have composite types, you will want to filter and join on the individual components, which would require extending the query language to allow drilling down into nested composite types. Basically you are back to hieracical da

“Anyone should already know this” is a very weird and illogic criticism towards learning material. Nobody is born knowing this, so surely such material is useful for everybody at some point.

The case that Brown plagarized Holy Blood Holy Grail is hilarious because Holy Blood Holy Grail claimed to be historical research rather than fiction. So how can you plagiarize actual history? The case was basically them admitting it was ma

Those specs need to be extremely detailed to ensure interoperability. Earlier versions of the HTML specs were much more readable, but unfortunately lead to interoparability issues.

Btw the security problems are solved by having Java and JavaScript running in a secured “sandbox” isolated from the underlying system. So security issues will be a thing of the past.

Whole-page gifs were only necessary because of the lack of layout support in HTML. But with the recent introduction of the powerful TABLE-tag, HTML now has a future-proof layout model which will surely be enhanced further with more tags, gi

There is great synergy in having the two complementary language using (almost) the same syntax. E.g. Both use ‘this’ to refer to the current object, ‘new’ to create a new object, ‘==‘ to compare values, both use the same Date library which

Python will never work on the web since different platforms use different characters to indicate line break.
