For "initiation duels" (Fuchsenpartien), that was commonly the case in the past as well. However, as previously mentioned, since the number of duels ("Partien") per person is usually lower today, the total number of duel

This is hard to believe. I'm paying more than that for a household of 1. For 3 ppl, the typical comparison platforms quote EUR 900 p.a. as the cheapest option (3,500kWh estimate). At EUR 360,- a year, you'd get a mere 1000kWh whic

'Side-effect free' means that doing it once, twice or n >= 3 times (with same parameters) yields the same result, i.e. what it returns doesn't depend on any remote state that is altered by the call itself . However, an id

Stereo set. I bought some HiFi equipment from the first money I ever made, 16 years ago. Still enjoy it every day, be it for music or movies... And the tech hardly ages, awesome.

I'm sorry, you're so right. I'm just one of the idiots on the Internet who haven't used a system for 10+ years (or the bulk of their existence at least) and makes condescending comments...

Being condescending isn't helping your argument here. No, I didn't think of SQL injection and I do have a vague understanding of the SQL grammar. The NoSQL injections seem a bit constructed and pretty much can't happen with a

Yes, but they don't match the data types your SQL database supports, do they? You're talking to a remote service here., i.e. varchar, decimal, datetime, etc. in SQL aren't the same as in whatever language you're using. T

Well 1.) It's always a text-based interface. The ORM merely hides the fact. Type safety is weak, as is with JSON, but both aren't un-typed. 2) Yes, they are, and there are a lot of good use cases for relational databases. But if y

I'm a long-time MongoDB user and largely a fan of it because I believe the interface is superior to some text-based SQL statements. But whatever DB you like, if you move the state of your application to another application (i.e, a data

Agreed. English might be a de-facto standard to some extent and many people use it if they have to. But the truth is, people are lazy and most people find it easy to communicate in their mother tongue and tedious to communicate in English.

That argument baffled me as well. Using the 'dictionary size' defined by the distinct set of characters as an input for the entropy calculation seems absurd, unless the attacker has a way to know the dictionary, for instance becau

So MySQL is great if you use none of its features, but then its really hardly different from all the other databases. So it's not the implementation, but the very promises that databases make which can't be held, but if you know t

It's not that programming skill (whatever that is) is bimodal, it's the effectiveness of the engineer in a typical development scenario. That stems at least partly from the fact that programming is hardly ever a one-person endeavo
