Partly in jest, but maybe we need a NON-DISTINCT signaller to convey the inverse and return duplicate values only. SOMEWHAT-DISTINCT with a fuzzy threshold would also be useful.

Yeah, similarly combining distinct with recursive CTE's in SQL can be the difference between a n×n blowout or a performant graph walk that only visits nodes once.

An optimisation I've always wondered about for transforming/translating/animating elements: is it faster to use JS translations or animation API directly on the element (e.g. style.transform / element.animate), or updati

When knobs are fiddly, most VST3s offer high-resolution midi mapping for precise automation. I agree through, that a precise readout is a must as the 'knob units' may not always map to what is displayed by the VST host.

I think multi-zone drumpads on the recent Akai MPC Live 3 provide a good middle ground, quite similar to mapping various zones on a trackpad. The Macbook touchstrip was a cool (but maybe too cool) addition as well, similarly introduced by v

Curious, what's the use case for wanting your data backed-up without fail? Is it personal archives or otherwise (business) archive related? Not to say you shouldn't backup your data, but personally I wouldn't be to affected i

Wouldn't that result in having to reorient yourself between the formatted/non-formatted files when comparing commits and messy code that is being worked on? Mind, I do value auto-formatting but wonder about the navigational costs

It's process over product, but somehow we've come to regard the 'product' as end goal over all else. Yet no product lasts forever.

It's unfortunate GrapgQL co-opted the terminology because it's quite different from the kinds of graphs these databases attempt to model.

I don't think the cognitive models are that distinct, just a different way in which relations are stored. In any case, not distinct enough to warrant 'unlearning' relational approaches. While I find graph based approaches mor
