   I grew to like case insensitive dbms like SQLServer as it makes me think less about casing when I write queries, but always wondered if that comes at cost of performance!

   I agree there were always be examples like that, but my point is kids hardly had any exposure to these, whereas kids feel entitled to listen to explicit music nowadays and when you try as a parent to enforce rules everyone else seem to say

   As a father of young teens I find some of the music quite disturbing and borderline soft porn. Music in the 70s/80s were more about romance, today is more about sex and drugs. I agree with article about the correlation between society

    The Quran hints on that similarity in a verse about punishing people by converting them to pigs and apes. Though this is not given as a reason of why pork is forbidden, but Islam places itself as a continuation of Abrahamic religion of Juda

    I too am going to buy one and read, but genuinely curious what made you support Mark in the beginning of Facebook? Wasn’t he always known as a douchebag even in his university days?

    There’re few people on LinkedIn named “Swapnil Dev”! Amazingly all work in IT! That’s swap, nil and dev in one’s name. Such a cool name!

    Oh god, I’m genuinely happy I didn’t google this book before bedtime. I hope the misery life will throw at me today will be bad enough to wipe the memory of what I read before I go to sleep tonight!

    Glad I missed it before bedtime! Watched it in the morning, absolutely spot on, thank you! We’re doomed indeed.

    The whole purpose of using a distributed IM like Delta Chat is to break free from big data leeches like Google. If you're just using Delta Chat with a centralized Gmail server as the backend, doesn’t that defeat the point?

    This is what you get when you put two former TV personalities in public offices and have them argue their cases in front of cameras , diplomacy takes a back seat and their ego and posture become the main focus

    Thanks for keeping Waterfox alive despite Mozilla's hurdles. The feature list is great, exactly what people need when looking for a Firefox alternative. Putting it on the homepage would help a lot. Appreciate your work!

    You're absolutely right but attribution is still the core issue here. I clicked on the page because it seemed like a promising alternative to Firefox, and I expected the focus to be on how it differs from Firefox. Instead, I was surpri

    I really enjoy seeing new projects, especially now with Mozilla's updated TOS, but this project's page really bothers me! Why include a feature comparison table with browsers like Chrome and Edge, but leave out Firefox? Your proje

    I'm not sure admins of old mainframes from the 80s would be interested in getting latest vim running on their hosts! I still use whatever old version of vim that came with my freenas.

    I love vim and I’m happy Chris stepped in to save the project, his vim CSV plugin is something I use daily. Though I really hope vim and neovim merge, I don’t see a reason for the two projects to stay separate.
