I really think we should have something like Stack Overflow for academic papers. The comments system works so well. Also, the so called impact factor of journals, which in many cases are directly or indirectly linked with academics and univ

And that has now happened to me with HN... On the plus side; the content (not least the comments) is much more valuable

And this would be the time to revisit John Oliver’s Snowden interview [1]. Specifically at 25:53. Since the topic is surveillance it may be inappropriate to link YouTube. If you haven’t seen it and don’t want to, the gist is people only car

I still like sql. It’s just so intuitive: select this from that where something is true That’s the core of everything you do. I could write all day about what a mess it can become, and how awful debugging is. But I still enjoy it

I thought this was just a matter of scope. a declared outside of the function is not the same as the one declared as a parameter.

We're currently trying out QueryStorm [1]. It supports SQL through built in SQLite, but you can connect to any DB and get the full SQL feature set of your DB. It's also possible to manipulate data, and automate stuff using C#. So

As for cross-platform, VS Code has a plugin for SQL Server. It doesn't provide all the graphical management tools that SSMS does but all the stored procedures are available, naturally. If you're on a Mac, i suggest [1] Hankinsoft&

It looks quite amazing. Is there any way to provide som sort of log in form, if data is provided by a protected source? Of course, the user could just enter credentials in cells, but if I want something more secure. Is there any way to inte

The number of people who like the taste of vanilla (I suppose) doesn't correlate with hours of sunlight in some area. Both correlate with amount of ice cream sold.

SO search never seem to find the answer I'm looking for, but once I start writing a question it almost always ends up finding a similar (answered) question. So their search works but perhaps it needs lots of input

A lot of points in this article resonated well with me. Especially this: > Companies that focus too much on technology without putting it in context of a customer problem will be caught between a rock and a hard place — or as I like to s

To my experience, quitting Facebook has been quite easy. I quit four years ago. Sure, it's an extra burden on friends and acquaintances when they want to invite my to partys and such. They have to email or text me. (yeah, not on WhatsA

I kinda agree that it's very difficult to start a tech and not being a techie, but you can compensate by having deep domain knowledge. Especially in b2b. That said, we now have a dev on our team and we can do a lot more. It does pose t

Fair enough. My point though is that there is the option to by a better washer but most people - including myself - choose the cheaper option.

I don't buy too much into the 'build to fail' argument. Rather, I think it's just a matter of consumers choosing features and price over longevity. You can't really prove longevity here and now. Of course you can bu

I actually had the same thaught. Learning to read or even basic writing doesn't compare to the skill and effort it takes to write something interesting, let alone a novel. You just know enough to consume what others have written. Basic

Reading the above quote from Micheal Chrichton, I immediately thought about The Economist and how they are usually well informed. I remember a short article on some legal case in rap music. I used to be very into rap, and while I didn'

Not being a coder myself, I have hired freelancers from Toptal on two projects. The entire experience was pretty good. The contact at Toptal took time find the the match. On the first project we got a pretty good front-end-dev. I will say t
