Well, yes and no. I’d say the new headline was very similar content, albeit pitched a bit differently. :) I usually try not to repost, because I think it’s rightly frowned on, but I do have a few less extreme examples where the exact same p

Not true, sadly. In my experience there is a big element of luck, and the headline matters a lot. For example, my most popular ever submission (1341 upvotes) didn't get a single upvote when I submitted 4 months earlier under a slight

And thank goodness for that. Here in the UK we’re in the weird and untenable position of providing state funding for religious schools, so I (an atheist taxpayer) am helping fund these indoctrination attempts. https://humanists.u

OP and library author here. You’ll find the background to this in this blog post: https://neon.tech/blog/bringing-psqls-d-to-your-web-browser

Certainly there’s a decently long tail of rarely-used commands, obscure features of commands, and multiple code paths supporting multiple server versions.

Some commands issue multiple queries and include logic for stitching the results into a nice table. There’s not a one-to-one mapping from commands to queries by any means.

It’s used in Neon’s web-based console to support \d and friends alongside regular SQL queries. You might well never need to use it, but if you’re building an online query editor it could be very handy!

OP (and library author) here. This is a fair point, and one I freely admit to in the accompanying blog post. It’s probably not crucial to sync more than once per major Postgres version, but we’re still figuring out how we’ll deal with this.

Why the laughter? CoffeeScript was great. TypeScript is even greater. All IMHO and YMMV, of course.

I don’t enjoy React much, but (as I’ve commented before) I do love Mithril ( https://mithril.js.org ). Immediate-mode UI via a vDOM, like React, but small, simple, and with none of the reactivity complications. I’d never go back t

I think multiple display support has gone backwards on the Mac, in a way that’s representative of the platform and rather dispiriting. I remember 20 years ago a colleague pointing out that Apple had put a lot of work in to allow windows to

Since Loco2 became Rail Europe I've found the website has gone heavily downhill. I now find thetrainline.com often more efficient and more likely to find viable routes at a reasonable price.
