That sounds like a bug in the driver. I'm pretty sure varchar on postgres is just an alias for text, which has no limit. edit: varchar(n) will issue an error past n bytes, varchar without n is the same as text. character varying(n) is

SQL really is a programming language though. It's just not imperative.

I think you're conflating implementation details of your JSON decoder with the JSON spec. There is no requirement that JSON numbers are parsed into IEEE floats or doubles. Many JSON parsers support decoding numbers into other decimal d

The last time I had a job like this I left it. There was a sr. who consistently turned out sloppy work, scoffed at tests, and constantly caused production fires. His boss loved him because he was always working hard after hours to correct h

People are usually flexible enough to switch directions. I wonder how many of those laid off employees would have been happy to do so given the chance?

It's true. It took me ages to understand indirection, and I didn't fully understand its purpose until I was presented with a programming environment that didn't have it. (Programming a PDP-8 with machine language.) I created

Some may find this trite, but for me, the best part of the article is how one of the twins, James, gets absolutely thrown under the bus for being a stoner. Utterly savage.

Sounds like the author has a bad case of puritanism. Enjoying life isn't the same thing as sitting around shooting smack all day.

I've seen a lot of developers, especially developers with C backgrounds, reach for Makefiles when approaching Go development, and I think it's a harmful practice. So, I'd like to offer a respectful but firm rebuttal to this a

You've already been dunked on by plenty of other people, but I don't think they did a good job of explaining why you are wrong. The USA has a labour shortage problem. There aren't enough people that want to spend their lives

A floating point number with an infinitely sized mantissa could represent it exactly, which would require infinite memory.

You can just implement the specification yourself, and license it however you want. What's the problem exactly?

Hi, Canadian here. From what I've been able to gather, American conservatism is more of a tribe than an ideology, that holds many values under a big tent. Some of these values are at odds with each other. I don't see much conserva

Fair point! But imagine the reaction if Dorsey was stocking Twitter lunch rooms with anti-depressant pez dispensers. There's a difference between personal choice and advocacy.

Maybe making this particular product more repairable or more recyclable isn't going to save the planet, but the status quo is that consumer goods are disposable and short-lived, and that's the real problem. Keep in mind, the cost
