I don't think graphics devs changing over would change much. They would probably not lament over 16ms, but they would quickly learn that performance does not matter much in application development, and start building their own abstract

Both the article and many comments here seem to miss that UPDATE deletes data -- the previous value of the field being updated -- which is a serious problem if soft-delete is your tool to keep old data. If you actually want historical data,

Is that NSW = New South Wales? I'm asking because Wikipedia lists New South Wales as a population of only 8.5 million, and those crime numbers are insanely huge relative to that.

Thanks for your reply. This seems like it builds the UI almost completely in server code, which I usually avoid these days because in my experience, it causes other problems. I should have mentioned that in my question.

Non-constructive reply: Developers have been burned too many times by snake oil vendors and "solutions" that only work for toy examples. Also, I've never seen being slow to be encouraged anywhere. Most consider it an acceptab

Yes. A number like 123456 = 1 * 100000 + 2 * 10000 + 3 * 1000 + 4 * 100 + 5 * 10 + 6 = 1 * (99999+1) + 2 * (9999+1) + 3 * (999+1) + 4 * (99+1) + 5 * (9+1) + 6 When checking whether it is a multiple of some k, you can add/subtract multi

I don't think that games, art and the demoscene can be used as evidence here. Implementing something like C# means you have a spec to implement. You have to be creative with the implementation without violating that spec. All the three

I'm sceptical about fixing (in the sense of a lasting solution), but it might be a very powerful tool to communicate to devs what the UI should look like.

It would sound more logical to me to buy a stack of pre-made patterns (e.g. coin or cube form-factor) and glue them into a like-shaped slot in a 3d-printed playing piece. Assuming that is possible, and you'd still have to make a conduc

China is huge in area too. You don't have one billion people right across the street. Anything that is across the street is, by definition, a localized thing involving far fewer people, which you can totally have in US+CA+EU too.
