Field names, table names, quotes or not - a few examples of things that can differ. The syntax of subqueries themselves are standard AFAIK. Building subqueries inside Django gives the rest of Django access to them for things like aggregatio

You're right, except for when you need to support multiple database backends. For projects it's usually not a concern, but for libraries it certainly is. The ORM has been slowly adding more and more complex types (Expressions) f

Can you give any examples of witch hunting based on CoC? Ignoring the famous example of pycon a few years ago is there another? I feel there's a common feeling about the potential "badness" of a code of conduct, but very few

I don't understand the dangers of BSD style licenses, can you expand on that a bit please?

That was basically my situation. My project was c# but a vendor exe packaged with it required c++ libs. Never figured out how to bundle it.

Shipping c++ redistributable libraries is a major PITA. I couldn't figure out how to bundle them with a clickonce or wix installer.

Yeah protesting hasn't really worked that well to date. But do you think people will become more upset if they're told that transiting through airports now requires you to hand over your unlocked phone to a stranger while they go

You mention decentralization a lot, but nothing has really changed. All cpython devs still have a full clone on their machines. GitHub functions as a hub now rather than https://hg.python.org/cpython .

Let me start by saying I don't begrudge your info hygiene habits at all, this isn't an attack against you. But I've seen a few suggestions lately on building tools to circumvent these awful policies. What we need to be doing

Licensing costs is just a proxy for CPU time on the database, so in that regard it is still relevant to other RDBM systems. You could scale the database processors (vertical or horizontal), but usually it's easier to scale the app serv

No where in the article are notifications mentioned. Part of the law being used is that the text has to be delivered to a phone number so I'd be very surprised if this was about notifications. If this IS about sending notifications the

If investors are buying with the intent to flip properties for a profit in the future then the tax significantly limits that profit. It'd make more sense to buy in other markets without such a tax. If the intent is to just park money t

The foreign tax appears to be more significant due to other cities without the tax not seeing prices drop.

I think the main point trying to be conveyed is that "risk" entitles reward is false, and that others should share in the reward. I agree in part, and that's what a decent and fair salary is for. The author puts forward simil

There's 100% of a company to go around. Here are the options. 1. Founder takes 100%, no one else gets anything. 2. Everyone that joins gets an equal share, which approaches a minuscule amount as more people join. 3. Some people get mor

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Distraction factor also counts. My comment was probably a little arrogant though. The reason I said I'd prefer that was so that the manager would have to expend effort to get an answer immediately, to offse

I'd prefer the manager getting up and tapping me on the shoulder even if that is more distracting. Then at whatever review you might have (or not) say that constant interruptions have a negative affect on the work you do. Your manager

I see where you're coming from, but not all state that could have been shared can be pushed into the API Gateway, like Code Objects and settings. To adopt lambda as you suggest would require a re-architecture (not Django), and at tha
