The lawyers get real money, and the victims get fake money. That's the real scandal. Our tort system is broken.

The difficulty with this advice is that it assumes that you have many small transactions. Yes, of course, you should try to build your application so queries and transactions are very short. That solves a great many problems. But sometimes

Seems similar to spread spectrum radio signals, also known as frequency-hopping. By hopping from frequency to frequency in a way that only the sender and the receiver know, you can avoid both obstacles and eavesdropping.

Marshall Mathers, Eminem, had the same idea, but did it better.

It is censorship when those preventing freedom of speech are monopolies. When a small number of companies make it difficult to communicate via our main communication device, and there are no viable alternatives, then a fundamental right is

That's a false choice. They're both bad. Don't be so cavalier about what's being lost here. The right to think and to speak freely is a fundamental human right.

Oops -- this is embarrassing -- I did not read the article closely. You're right, the article does not recommend using a normal database cursor. Never mind.

by ccleve 6y ago
Cursors are stateful. This greatly complicates the design of the backend. First, you have to maintain state in some kind of session on the app server. Second, if you have more than one app server, you'll have to share the sessions acro

Yup. This. Give us an embedded library that will work with my Java app. JAX RS or or at least callable from within my JAX RS resource. Spring would be nice, too.

The Supreme Court decided Tanzin v Tanzir a few days ago. They held federal agents personally liable for putting innocent Muslims on the no-fly list because they wouldn't inform on their community. https://www.supremecourt.g

I wrote a package that took a different approach: just enough code to get rid of the JDBC boilerplate, but not enough to get in the way of using SQL: https://github.com/dieselpoint/norm Blog post on it: https:/&#

As the parent of a twelve year old, I can tell you that it's not so simple. I gave my son an old computer a couple of years ago because he expressed a vague interest in learning to code like his daddy. That really didn't work out.

How old is your child? Whether you can get away with this very much depends on the child.

Meanwhile, AWS Aurora is still on Postgres 11. Postgres 12 is more than a year old. I've been using Aurora because it's managed, I don't have to worry about backups, it's faster and cheaper and easier to scale, etc. But

Nobody writes OpenAPI directly. You use an API design tool for that. There are two ways to design APIs: code-first and design-first. With code-first you write your code and then automatically generate the OpenAPI spec from that. I do it in

How do you use it for generating documentation? Can you generate anything other than Swagger UI for API docs?

A few years ago I put a 4" memory foam mattress topper on the very firm mattress that I had. I love it. Back pain is gone. They're fairly cheap. Totally worth it.

I've got dual monitors on a Mac Mini. The primary monitor uses the HDMI port, and it works fine. The secondary monitor runs off Thunderbolt and a couple of weeks ago it started going black, randomly. This isn't a hardware issue, b

I took this course, from Larry personally, 30 years ago. It was one of the best courses I ever took. Prior to that, my writing was abysmal. My high school English teachers were helpless. And I even managed to get through Princeton barely un

If by "status quo" you mean "Donald Trump is President", does your view change if Biden wins? Will the status quo be ok, and will it therefore be ok to ban political activity in the workplace? The problem with the view t

How does this compare to Piesync? There are many tools that do one-way integration from source to destination. Very few do real two-way sync. Is Grouparoo designed for that?

Yes, the site is what I looked at. "Scale your business operations" doesn't tell me anything. Nor does any of the other verbiage in your hero area. The next thing I see is "What is your professional role?" Uh, who c

I don't get that at all from your website. I'd consider simplifying your pitch. I can't tell what you're selling from your site.

Holy cow, I really like this. Super simple. I think you need to adjust pricing to differentiate between big corporate users and small developers. I'd pay $199 once (not per year) for my own use. But if I were running an IT shop at a la

In my code, rather than use a generic term to describe the number, I try to name what it actually represents in context. For example, if I'm scoring items so I can rank them, and I need to normalize some number to do that, I'll ca

Most of the responses to your post are critical, but I couldn't agree with you more. Having a local database would solve all kinds of performance, connectivity and privacy problems. Transparent background synchronization would be beaut

There's another benefit to using a tenant_id. You can partition your tables using Postgres partitioning. That keeps the tenant's data together and keeps queries fast. It's also amenable to distributed processing if you use so

This works and solves a lot of problems. The downside is that schema changes are cumbersome because you have to make them in many places. If you want to roll out a new feature in a shared app which depends on a schema change, it's hard
