   Had a fascinating conversation with Claude about this (don't worry about the unhinged personality I gave it with preprompting): https://gist.github.com/pmarreck/970e5d040f9f91fd9bce8a4bcee... Pasted it there for b

   Thanks for the clarification. I'm not one to compliment Microsoft software products, but Analysis Services and SQL Server, at least when I used them at the time over 10 years ago, seemed like darn fine products (which they purchased fr

   Savepoints are not considered legitimately isolated nested transactions. To the best of my knowledge. Note: Am not a DBA, merely a full stack dev that has worked with various databases over the years.

   LLM's might be able to translate the stored procedure code without too much difficulty, and assuming you have test coverage. Might also do a good job of translating DDL code such as index definitions etc. I too was impressed with SQL S

    A better question might be, why are people still using OO dynamic languages without any typing?

    this is a horrible idea. which is why i am commenting to check it out later. since postscript is also a language that it literally runs to render, would it also be possible to use postscript to make interactive elements?

    I've always loved gaming and one thing that never sat well with me was that gaming's home was unofficially on a proprietary OS. It always made more sense to me (particularly from a software preservation standpoint) that the home o

    I think they actually fixed that with Gaming Mode or whatever. Even worse when a modal dialog used to pop up over your game... the way Windows used to constantly interrupt whatever you were trying to focus on drove me nuts (this never happe

    I'd say push closer to 5% and more cash... but it's my understanding that putting a price on a share should be held off as long as possible, or if you must, it should be kept lowish for early-stage. As others have said you don&#x2

    Not necessarily. There was a lot of experimentation at the time and things that did hacky things like blip the mono speaker at different frequencies to produce interesting sounds were not out of the question.

    And not very far later, "And be mindful of Allah, and know that Allah is severe in punishment." That's bullshit. God is love. End of story. Any other claim is bullshit. It makes no sense to have a punitive God in charge of ev

    I've noticed a few things that will cause it to write better code. 1) Asking it to write one feature at a time with test coverage, instead of the whole app at once. 2) You have to actually review and understand its changes in detail an

    The New Testament does not have passages remotely comparable to these, and this list is incomplete: Surah 2:191, 3:28, 3:85, 5:33, 8:12, 8:60, 8:65, 9:5, 9:30, 9:123, 22:19, 47:4. Also, Jesus didn't "attack" anyone. He flippe
