You're right that it's a "dev/dba problem", but the reason for not using `select !<column>` is exactly the same as not using `select *`. If you specify exactly what you want, there's less of a chance of y

Sure, and I don't have any issue with that. But this blog post literally says "The death of Quanta Magazine", and in the same breath talks about "journalistic standards".

I spent a good couple of years working with UML and related tech and products (especially from the Rational suite). Besides the fact that I hated it, a big personal gripe I had with it was that noone looked at the UML after the initial rev

Why would it seem that way? Why can't I say: "I like how C# implements XYZ" instead of "I don't like the C# development environment, but I like how C# implements XYZ"? What value is there in qualifying every as

Reading these comments, it's strange to see that the "Java" paradigm/context issue still exists after all these years. I have never had significant problems with Java-the-language. But, like with many other programming l

I don't have a problem with ads in general - I have a problem with how they are currently presenting ads. It was never this bad in the past, and I honestly I'm not sure I want to pay money to a company who uses these predatory tec

YouTube's advertising strategy is pushing me to get rid of my SmartTV, or at least find a 3rd Party solution to completely block the ads. I was completely fine with one or two 6 second ads randomly playing before a video, or during a l

People should reconsider writing articles like these. It's just a list of (3!) criticisms. You can still have your click-baity title, but why not write about when and how to use XYZ principle instead?

What is the rationale behind having apps built on/with technologies like KDE, Gnome etc. prefix their names with K or G etc? Why KTrip instead of Trip? Is it just a historical artifact of development, or is there another reason?

If I understand correctly, General Relativity doesn't consider this in the same conceptual terms. "Gravity" doesn't affect "time" - mass/energy curves space-time (simplified for the sake of brevity).

No, I said you don't care that much about bigger things in comparison . Think about it - you cared enough about this "small thing" to make a throwaway account. When last did you do that about anything else? In any case, I&

I'm so puzzled by some of the comments here. Is it simply because of how the general public was inadequately educated about how vaccines work? Well, why are you only upset by this now? Because of how much your life has been affected? I

One thing that I've learned from Event Sourcing is that it makes bad engineering teams and processes worse.

The biggest problem I've encountered in places that adopt Event Sourcing is using it as a hammer. Not every piece of information needs to be event sourced, and neither is it a good fit for every use case.
