Indeed you are not aware as you have not been there. It's in a border of an old forest. It's known that it kills bird. The visual pollution is really important and those who value technology and convenience over beauty have alr

Indeed and I do not think Anglo Saxon protestants make correct beholders in this regard. Totally subjective I admit. However I stand for my views on aestetics. I think it's an important matter and that it is open for discussion. Also,

Yeah so let's destroy pristine nature landscapes with ugly turbines (which kill a lot of birds and cost an arm to decommission). I've seen wild landscapes in Brittany completely ruined by still wind turbines. It's a disgrace.

Probably the ugliness. I've seen great landscapes being heavily damaged by wind turbines.

Good reading. It reminds me of the wave of big banks implementing 'Lean management', supposedly listening to the employees in a bottom to top fashion, while announcing a 5% cut in the IT workforce. We got the whole package, daily

Major terror attacks in France have killed much more. Also, volontary deaths and accidents should not be compared. It is outrageous to do so.

Most of the "problems" also exist in enteprise scale database server such as sql server and sybase. If parent meant that sql server and sybase are no more than nosql data store, I beg to differ. Those issues have been "fixabl

It all depends on the ANSI_WARNINGS switch. Some clients set it, some don't. Thus you have to be explicit or you might have a NoSQL database. You should also read about arithabort and arithignore. As I told you, you need to study the d

It is different from the original proposal and takes user feedback into account. At the end of the day one has to make the call. I think I can live with it.

You can pool n if it's on your hot path, can't you? Escape analysis was just rewritten, and the objective is to handle this case more gracefully.

by grumpydba 7y ago
Object pools are really easy. Unsafe is only for extreme cases. Some cache libraries use it. You don't have to code it yourself. Yes this is better than relying on the end user/admin to tune things. It is more predictable.

I don't think it is efficient to implement a dozen of ways to handle generics. People who need generics will use code generation until the issue is addressed, I don't really see the need to rush. Attention to details is something
