In a lot of ways the Logic Programming languages are effectively relational (e.g. Prolog, Datalog, KIF) but the search behavior for relations that satisfy a query is a bit different than SQL-like relational languages. On a previous project

I think it's more akin to using compilers in the early days of BCPL or C. You could expect it to produce working assembly for most code but sometimes it would be slower than a hand-tuned version and sometimes a compiler bug would surf

a lot of devices, especially phones, will randomize the hardware MAC address when on an unknown network or doing open pings, but if a known SSID is found it will use a consistent, and often correct, MAC

This bar had a complex tunnel system leading up to it that was completely unlit. In the beginning you could run right through, but eventually they made you yell "I'm over 18" and took your word on it. This bar also had speci

It's a good thing the piggies invested in light infrastructure and good logs with their previous houses, the next version after brick will be even better!

I think this is spot on and that distinction deserves to be in the education of present and future programmers. It's at the root of the different terms (programmer, SWE, computer scientist, developer) and it's not unusual for a r

It's actually three steps: make it, make it work, make it work faster. this may actually be somewhere between step one and two.

Indeterminate context, unknown/hidden values and a stateful API are usually reasons for me to look elsewhere for a solution.

I never used punch cards in earnest but your story reminds me of when I learned programming with BASIC and had to number each line -- it helped to begin with incrementing by 10 so that some lines could be inserted later without having to re

Templates and shadow DOM help a lot with creating and cloning of large subtrees, but time to first render and caution around page re-layout still require attention to do well at scale.

Not typically. The mere combination of known ingredients does not result in a new and non-obvious invention that can be patented. A patent typically covers a unique or non-obvious process. There are exceptions, say, if there is a process

Minor nitpick: you mention cel shading but spelled it cell -- the term comes from cels used in hand-drawn animations and the quantized tones used in shading there.

Would it make sense to put a base on this satellite and maybe use it for a telescope or build platform? More or less sense than doing the same on the moon?

Probably because development was already well under way several months ago. But I agree, explicit support for OpenTF here would have been really nice to see, even if it delayed launch a little.
