Thanks. I did say it was only "suggestive". A series of similar events in similar circumstances can be explained by a series of different causes, but it seems worth looking at a similar cause, no? This is at the stage of initial h

Wow, HN is strange sometimes. Have covid19 strains become political/tribal somehow? I'm just pointing out something interesting in the data I was curious about. It's a pity HN picks out one detail and ignores the interesting

Extreme programming's "tracer bullet" is sort of a way around this, by implementing a minimal subset of functionality all the way though, so it "works". The diminishing routines then come when expanding each stage.

Thanks, makes sense! I've once before seen comparing sorted values is faster, even when not all match. If "building an index" means it's just the indices (not all rows of the table), doesn't that indirection mean an

Thanks, sounds like sorting is an implementation detail, and not the main benefit in itself.

I understand that B+ trees made relational databases practical. Is that true? How are they used (sorted, according to link)? How do B+ differ from B trees?

If the boy who cried wolf was fined by the townsfolk, he'd be incentivized sooner to stop, and they'd still be motivated to turn up. This doesn't work for impecunious boys, who under this theory should be left to the wolves.

Doesn't Apple ToS forbid programming (excepting embedded lua etc)? Did that change? Android 10 is locking down http://termux.com , and wifi ipads have higher compute/$. If this works at full speed, I might get one.
