This is fascinating from a food technology standpoint. But the framing of the article around espresso specifically is somewhat bizarre. Most people want their shot of espresso to be piping hot, not room temperature. And most iced coffee i

I will never understand this kind of sentiment: > You had to dig. You had to seek out small, specialized record stores or spend time on shady forums. You’d track down obscure distros just to order releases you couldn’t get any other way

I see no indication in your comment that it was meant any other way :D

That's not a ghost job. That sounds like they picked some resumes and rejected the rest and hired someone, and then three months later they either needed another person to also do the same job, or it didn't work out with the origi

I suggest you read the following sentence of my comment, the one after your quote. It provides your answer. And file systems deleting huge directories instantly is the equivalent of DROP TABLE here, which I also mention in my comment.

That's why I said: > disabling foreign key checks on large operations And you have to know that, according to your business logic, what you're doing is safe.

Because what do you do if rows are being inserted in the original table, while the new table is having rows copied over? You'll get missing rows. You can only do the DROP TABLE trick if you know nothing else is writing to the table a

> It takes far more work to delete/update than insert. Updating rows of text data is going to be more work, because variable-length text can't be updated in-place. So in terms of allocating space, it's more like a delete

Only by a weird definition of "scalable". The first sentence says: > Counterintuitively, large DELETEs add work to the database. There is nothing counterintuitive about this. It takes just as much work to delete a row as it t

Somebody explain to me how one reaches a silent consensus over IRC? Or is this a joke/reference I don't know... or is this a subtle clue that the whole thing is made up?

That's actually a really cool idea. I like it. The best part is, it doesn't even need to find nearby parking or anything. You can just tell it in advance that you'll be leaving the grocery store in eight minutes.

I'm pretty sure you can figure out the intended meaning, rather than the one you're trying to twist it into.

It's actually kind of genius. It implicitly reframes a debate about immigration, to a debate about ecology/sustainability. Like I'm not defending it or saying it's honest. But as a marketing jiujitsu move, it's actu

Why would you leave that comment? An uninformed comment before you read the article isn't helping anyone.

Even that requires clicking on unintuitive username links... scrolling to the very bottom of what are sometimes very long pages... and locating the "entry source code" file out of a sometimes very large list of files. When mos

Advice for anyone on mobile: read in landscape mode if you want to be able to see the division by 256 version code example at the start. The HTML/CSS is bad that lets it completely overflow the right edge of the page instead of wrappin

I never said it wasn't a PITA. I just replied to the original commenter who was saying it can basically be unenforceable, and that's just not true.

No, but my point is that it does work. It's a lot better to be delayed by months and have to pay more but still get your money, rather than by delayed by years and not get it at all. This is a franchised retailer with over 300 location

If someone is poor and doesn't have the money, sure you can't enforce it. If it's a corporation, it's pretty straightforward. If they refuse to pay, you get a writ from the court that authorizes seizure of assets. Usuall

But the end of the blog post says the man sued and won . But the store closed to get out of paying. Which makes no sense if the store was corporate-owned. So why isn't the corporation paying?
