Google search, itself, is so bad now that I have had to resort to duckduckgo and yandex or adding "reddit" or "ycombinator" to searches to get anything remotely close to what I specifically ask for. Google just ignores m

When these companies say there are "security concerns" they mean for them, not you! And they mean the security of their profits. So anything that can cause them legal liability or cause them brand degradation is a "security c

So the idea is to buy the paintings, yadda yadda yadda, donate at a number that somehow exceeds your original price when taxes are accounted for and keep the other paintings forever?

Whitney seems to have an obsession, and a real knack, for writing or rewriting array languages.

No! Haven't you heard? The new SQL "killer" is simply tying LLMs into your data and giving it commands in the common business parlance of your choice! kinda. sorta.

I don't mean that the languages are not legitimate, mostly what would be acceptable to either management or a client. Also, I feel that setting someone up with code that they might have to maintain if I leave should be easy for them to

Yes, I didn't mention that but they have a rotating schedule of some of the most elite programmers you have ever heard. I will also say that array programming is very seductive if you have the "puzzle solving" mentality that

>In the sciences, "someone says" is the lowest form of evidence there is. It is so close to "no evidence" that we simply disregard it without further thought. hmmm. So citations in scientific papers are really disses?

In many cases a front end is just a view of some API call which can be much more than a db query. Some times it is the other way around where the the front end is just pulling data and all the business logic is done in the browser. So I gue
