OK, but words are not only for compiler-writers. As someone who encounters your compiler, if it targets an output language at a similar level as the input language it will give me a headstart in understanding what it does if I see it referr

It gives you a better idea what a thing does?

What I would add to your definition, to make a distinction from the common usage of compilation, is that the target language is on an approximately equivalent level of abstraction to the source. So, for example, Rust -> machine code is n

Nudge theory isn't useless, it's just not anything like as powerful as money or regulation. It was taken up by the UK government at that time because the government was, unusually, a coalition of two quite different parties, and t

Is there any reason to think this doesn’t apply to all aircraft using bleed air from the engines to pressurise the cabin? If not, only the 787 would be exempt, as far as I understand.

I like fruit. I like pastries. I eat plenty of fruit and the occasional small pastry. This is a perfectly healthy, balanced diet. Sure, I could choose to never eat pastries (or to eat pastries with half the sugar in), but the overall effect

Because that would be utterly ludicrous? I enjoy a few small sweet things every day as part of a healthy diet. This harms nobody, me included. Much better to make more effort in schools to teach people how to cook good food (including enoug

Thanks. :) OP here. Elephantshark builds on top of some simple Postgres proxy scripts in Ruby I’ve been using for a while.

This is very nice news, because the `xmax` trick simply doesn't work for partitioned tables. I asked for this on the mailing list years ago: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/DE57F14C-DB96-4F17-925...

Some automakers are doing better than others. Renault has a range of well-reviewed EVs that aren't so far off the value of Chinese imports.

Not really: it's arguably quite a lot worse. Because you can judge the trustworthiness of the source when you follow a link from Google (e.g. I will place quite a lot of faith in pages at an .nhs.uk URL), but nobody knows exactly how t
