I'm not condoning the practice. I'm pointing out that it rarely works out to be truly lifetime.

I don't find it controversial, and it isn't altogether interesting, but I would like it if it were better communicated. I've cleaned up code that dogmatically followed a interface-per-class policy.

No, seriously, during summer, peak residential and commercial load correlates with solar heating. Unless you have residential load-shedding installed in your footprint, coordinating with industrial loads is your best bet to reduce peak dema

This is during peak air conditioning load, and air conditioning is used most when when... wait... the sun is out.

Offhand, I don't remember the specifics - I observed this a decade ago. Sorry. I don't have a SQL Server around to try to craft it either. The gist of it is, the query planner for some database engines ( pg and mssql ) often takes

Quite true, but the opportunity for time-of-day rate arbitrage is tempting.

Not only is it sometimes faster, and sometimes slower, but the answer can change, for the same schema, for the same query, depending on the volume and distribution of data.

I wonder what the market is for a utility usage randomizer that fuzzes this data?

It's not necessarily that the whole community is compromised, it's that the goals of an organization devoted to signals intelligence align here with the guidance of the community, fostering what converges towards a monoculture.

The falling-behind happened early, and fast. MS took full advantage of second-mover status to change fast and add features. They also targeted fewer platforms initially. While the market niche was certainly aimed squarely at the same demogr

I like this line of thought and to an extent, I agree with it pretty strongly. I also think that if you are adhering to the notion of a "single level of abstraction" per function, then you will naturally need to structure your fun

It was. Thank you. I want stdin to work. I also want specifying a file name to work. I think supporting both is good UI design, and follows the principle of least surprise.

ISTM that you're arguing from a perspective of intrinsic necessity. Your argument is that, anyone can cat a file into my utility, if they need that functionality. Sure. However, for example, GNU sort doesn't work that way. Most ut

While I agree that v0.1 should support stdin/stdout, I don't know that you are serving all of your users well by limiting i/o to ONLY stdin/out.
