I made an assumption based on how I understood the article. After reading your comment, I searched around for more info. Unfortunately, I can't find anything definitive. There are a lot of articles about when and why it was removed (al

"&" wasn't ever in the alphabet in the same capacity as the letters that represent sounds. It was there as a keyword signifying the end of the list. Then its name was expanded to clarify that it was not a normal letter bu

A company refusing to use the most appropriate tool because of the name is much more offensive to me than a tool with a childish name.

I'm generally on the side of OP, but this is reasonable.

DuckDB has some really nice syntax updates that I hope get added to the ISO spec, like GROUP BY ALL and GROUP BY aliases. I like their approach of adding thoughtful quality of life improvements instead of coming up with a new language. htt

I get around this when hand coding by doing a quick 'SELECT * FROM', adding my joins, then going back and filling in the fields using intellisense. Intellisense doesn't know what columns are available until the FROM clause is

There are some good thoughts in there but it seems like it'd make echo chambers.

There are jobs for pretty much all established technologies. And if there aren't currently, there could be in the future. I primarily work on procedural & OO projects, but I disagree with your position. I've seen job postings

The US could take on the policies I suggested without international cooperation, and it would make an enormous impact. I don't understand why you're acting like this hinges on the US's ability to influence other nations as if

Taxes can be progressive or regressive. That's orthogonal to my point. Climate change disproportionately hurts the poor. Not sure why you just assume I'm against the poor when nothing I suggested is inherently harmful to poor pe

Geoengineering climate change has been making some people very rich at the expense of everyone else. In order to stop or reverse it, the incentives need to change. To stop digging the hole: -- Implement a carbon tax that is significant enou

If GPL was a stepping stone, I'm curious where the possible future(s) of OSS licensing are. I only know the basics when it comes to licenses. Forcing derivatives to be open source seems on the surface like a good way to provide a proje

I see where you're coming from calling out AI data miners for rent-seeking, but most social media platforms are also engaging in rent-seeking behavior.

The effects of climate change are different in different regions. And the types of weather patterns that deliver more precipitation to some regions could be quite different from what the local wildlife has adapted to.

How is that different from horizontally scaling (which they said they considered but couldn't find a managed solution for)?

Tipping in cash is a good idea, when practical. Another thought is to leave bad reviews on places like google maps and yelp. If you're already going to avoid them over it, it's only reasonable to communicate it so they know why th

Unreasonable question. If they answer yes, that allows you to respond they're just biased. If they answer no, that gives you an opening to say they're a hypocrite for laying out an argument and ignoring the implications when doing

1. Results-only workplaces should be the norm for project oriented work. 2. HR departments and poor managers making busywork to justify their existence.

The only electrical fire vector they needed to worry about 780 years ago was lightning storms. I'm not proposing ugly or out of touch changes. Materials changes like titanium instead of lead are exactly the sort of thing I'm talki

That's really sad. What a shame cutting down 1k large old oaks for any building at all. It's not necessary these days. Of course they need some wood in publicly viewable areas, but this amount of not only wood but large old oak tr
