I like Inbox, but I need a trash can shortcut. I don't want to archive junk mail. I guess it's only one extra click for the trash. Google apparently wants you to save everything.

Maybe 10 or 15 years ago I had a VAIO laptop that came with a cheesy 3D file browser. I can't find a link to it or screencap anywhere. Anyone remember this? Files were spun around like a tornado thing.

I think something like Alfred Hitchcock Presents is very watchable today and I often do. You get a little mystery and murder and all within an hour. There were other watchable programs, like Perry Mason or something. It depends on your tast

Why would straight pool require more skill than 9-ball? Hitting any ball in you want seems easier to me.

This of course goes both ways. If you put on your resume that you have expert/mastery level experience in technology X, don't be surprised if I drill you on it.

If I were in this position, I would accept it from a frequent contributor to the project. I don't like the idea of someone poking around to make one-word non-functional changes.

Yeah, talk about an over the top reaction. I'd probably reject this too from a do-gooder searching github for pronouns to change. "Get another hobby. Rejected."

I've been looking for an affordable editor and use web storm with the dba plug-in right now. It kinda works for postgres, but not quite. Although this tool, 0xDBE, doesn't look to have any DBA features like the OP was requesting.
