None of those things (views, stored procs, functions) are part of the query language. They all involve making somewhat permanent alterations to the structure of the database, and are entirely capable of conflicting with other objects in the

Indeed, though his work-around of adding a path column is something is worth having anyway, because it makes it much easier to see where the generated output has come from.

Looks like the Squeak VM site doesn't currently like "www" - hence the download link should be: http://squeakvm.org/riscos/

SoundOnSound have a good article covering why this doesn't happen. In short, there's no standardized methodology (i.e. standard dummy head) for measuring it, and the interactions between the headphones and the listener's head

Given that MIDI expects 100% reliable delivery, I'm curious to know if there's any special technique used here to prevent (e.g.) intermittent packet loss causing stuck notes.

I don't follow you. The musical pattern repeats over a fixed length of time, and the turntable completes one rotation within the same length of time. How would that produce a faster rhythm in the innermost rings, absent a spiral?

I tend to apply much the same rule as emptyparadise - once conditional logic appears, it's time for a rethink. Part of my rationale for this is that I assume that I'm dealing with the thin end of the wedge - if there's enough

My guess would be: by not using Postgres's money type.

I'd guess the way in which a persons screen-writing job normally concludes doesn't involve either quitting or being fired.

Yes, but it's extremely clunky. The number of times I've had to write out a whole chain of CTEs just because I wanted to apply one window function to the output of another. In which context, "compostable" is a fantastic

Yes. If you're using XML with Liquibase, it's definitely worth using an editor that supports XML schemas for autocomplete and validation as you type.

This only works if you either have a guarantee that everyone else is also going to listen to your work on headphones, or total disregard for anyone who isn't. If you expect people to listen to it on speakers, you need to listen to it o

I bet the plugin version doesn't introduce buzz on single-coil pickups, either.

The trade-off is that sample rate conversion introduced its own artefacts, though we have much better algorithms (and of course more CPU power) for it today. I'm not sure that aliasing was in itself a big problem, you're perhaps r

In which case it may be advisable to delegate the acme-challenge record to a different DNS provider, if doing so allows you to sidestep the anycast issues.

Likewise. Been using ZFS for over 10 years. Been through intermittent controller faults, backplane faults, cabling faults on a variety of ZFS, ext, and NTFS systems. The one time I lost data from a ZFS system (which was a faulty controlle

I don't mean to be criticizing your choices, but I'll note here that if you're willing to avoid enabling the latest and greatest ZFS features, bringing up a machine that can mount your disks can be as simple as booting from U

Of course, FAQs originated in places like mailing lists and usenet groups, where it's arguably a good fit, precisely because there is no real standing body of text. The trouble is that it then got shoe-horned into being used on webs

One of the problems with attempting to propagate Smalltalk culture is that when your interaction with the machine doesn't resemble interacting with a teleprinter, then a wall of text becomes a poor medium for capturing it. Not disputin

A similar sentiment to Alan Kay's notion that "The computer revolution hasn't happened yet."

From memory, this is correct. It's only the USB-C port that allows OTG operation. I remember a while back seeing someone selling a special splitter cable for the rpi4 which provided 2 separate USB connectors, one for powering the rpi a

Thank you. This is a much clearer explanation than I was likely to give. I'll add that there was some also implied humour in my comment, and perhaps also in Wells's remarks to Joyce. Humour is the great leveller, before which we a

Smalltalk prizes interactivity, in the manner that arises from being able to make small, incremental adjustments to code while it (and it's state) remain in memory. Its rejection of static typing is not axiomatic, merely an expedient w

Ah, you mean like a version of Python that everyone can agree on! Joking aside, it's an entirely understandable sentiment, but Smalltalk is not only an old language, but also one that lives in a symbiotic relationship with its tools (w
