You can't get away from having to reason about NULL in SQL even if you remove all NULLs from the database. You can still get NULLs at query time, and they'll have semantically valid meanings in views and subqueries.

Not parent commenter, but to me it seems "obviously correct". As explained in the article NULL means "unknown". Let's say I have two people, and a "tax identifier" column. Let's say two people can&#x2

Interesting that this person would write a post about how much is supposedly not in POSIX, but at the same time saying "I haven't checked POSIX". Rings of "did you know that 'gullible' is not in the dictionary?

A quick Googling gives this quote: When coal is burned, all the uranium daughters accumulated by disintegration—radium, radon, polonium—are also released. The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation evaluates

I don't think this is relevant to my point. Not wrong, just not relevant. Individuals who are anti nuclear have reasons, explicitly stated, that are misinformed. Being anti nuclear because Chernobyl is in fact like being anti airplane

No coal plant has ever been decommissioned either, because its radioactive waste, and other waste, is now in the air we all breathe. Same with solar. Spent solar panels don't go nowhere. No other plant either.

Is it not malicious to scream "chernobyl!" willfully deceptively or willfully ignorantly confusing what can and cannot happen? More people die every single year from radiation in coal than have died in the entire history of nuclea

> In Stockholm there is no supply of natural gas Oh? Isn't that what gas stoves use? And they exist in Stockholm, and is fairly common. There are even new installs being done.

You can take part of the savings by buying NYSE:FDX stock. I'm not being facetious.

You could make the same argument for companies that don't own their own buildings, their own land, or have vendors of any shape or form. That is, all companies ever. The opposite of what you're proposing is "do your core busi

No. The reason is that it's the cryptocurrency industry, which existence depends on betting on black, and it's been getting red for a while now. Of course you can make money by risking everything... But it risks everything.

The fact that unity just seemed like "let's cargo cult macos" while they were bragging about how awesome they were ("objectively the best" was thrown around) was a real turn off for me.

What i remembered is that it was widely hated, and canonical was shoving it down everyone's throats and saying things like "we know that unity is objectively the best desktop environment that ever existed", allowing them to d

I have never heard this in my life. Either people treat words as magic or they don't. There's a difference between "you'll never hear me say that word, just all other words" and trying to censor. I won't say th

I'm not trying to ban people from becoming bakers. You do you. I'm saying they should temper their expectations, if they think that secretly everyone wants to be a baker, and in the future a meaningful fraction will be. Most peopl

Heh, sounds like they're saying "the cloud is just someone else's computer", which is the same as "the bakery is just someone else's oven". The bank is just someone else's ledger. Yes. As a service. W

Yeah, systemd is a perfect illustration of running, coding, and shipping code before thinking. Or, in short, "Lennartware".

The way I see this is that the *BSDs simply don't have the staffing to do all the things, so they say a more explicit "no" more often. And if you do fewer things, you can perfect those things. Like look at the history of the

You got downvoted, but you're hinting at a good point. Today we are told that any discomfort is unacceptable, and you are owed living a life without it. I think a lot of "adulting" is rejected because it comes with downsides.

This is all legal theatre to distract from the fact that there is no ownership change. Which is what I said. You yourself said that all you get is a license, not ownership. That is not even remotely close to the legal basis under which HOAs

> you own the underlying Bored Ape, the Art, completely. No, you just have a license to use it according to a license. That's very clearly "not owning". It's something, but it's not owning.

But nothing guarantees that the seller of the NFT, the current holder of the NFT, is also the current copyright holder. It's basically completely disconnected, so while the transfers may traditionally be done at the same time between t

What happened is that they are clearly lying to us, and they hold all the evidence. What do you want us to do? Either they're lying to cover up a lab leak, or they're lying up to but not including about lab leak. Multiple near-nuc

Unlike the other guy I agree with you, on both your sentences. But none of this contradicts what I said. Not using an exchange does mean it's harder to enforce, especially at scale, but "not getting caught" is not the same as

If you want to buy drugs, ransomware, tax fraud (i.e. theft[1]), fake IDs, or have someone whacked, then you'll still use it. So this only affects the single other use case, the legal one: greater fool speculation. [1] before anarchist
