I don't really see how .com or not translates into being genuine or not. Having been a founder for four years now, I have learned that the word "startup" usually scares potential customers. It is actually a good thing to seem

How is showing weakness an advantage?

Yeah it is becoming a bit bloated. Honestly I think all they had to do was add import/require and support 64 bit integers and numerics and the language would have been good enough.

Dental insurance is pretty cheap in the US. Medical insurance varies a lot, but for most people it is also pretty cheap because their employer pays the majority of it.

Even though it is from a movie, I think this is better advice: "Do you want a bullet to the head or five bullets to the chest and bleed to death?" [1] If you want to add something about what to improve, I think that is fine too bu

Has there been much discussion about hundreds or thousands of drones filling the sky and how much of an eyesore that would likely be to many people, then the political fight that is likely to ensue?

Based on the video, is security the root problem? Sorry, but that is a problem in every programming environment. Security is hard regardless of using C++, JS, Linux, Windows, etc. Therefore it is not terribly relevant to the question: is JS

> But the only languages available are HTML, CSS and JavaScript which are just more than bad for application development because of so many reasons. I would have completely agreed with that a few months ago. HTML/CSS/JS is fine

I am using the "data lake" concept without realizing it. It just seemed like the right thing to do. I am working on a "Google for SEC filings". There are about 15 million company filings and other data spanning 20 years

I recommend reading Great by Choice [1] which talks more about Southwest Airlines and what makes them great. The book is about "10X companies" and what they have in common, but also what they do differently from their competitors.

I think there is a middle ground between your view and volaski's view. You are right that random 3 am emails give a bad impression to employees and founders should think about management just as much as product and market. However a fo

I am glad you dont mind typing your transactions but it is unwise to assume everyone is like you in this case. It may turn out only a few people are willing to manually input data or maybe most people are like you. Either way this is someth

You have the same problem in XML with that amount of nesting. Then you pretty print the XML or JSON and problem solved.

JSON is an improvement overall even though there are certainly issues. It is easier to read, easier to parse, and usually fewer bytes for the same data. Validation schema can be provided by JSON Schema [1]. The lack of date type and comment

I don't know the answer to your question but JSON update is being worked on by the PG community. I think it is unlikely to make 9.5, but we will see. http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/54E00D1F.9060101@

I think the big assumption I was making, and probably should have said is that you have complete control over your own internal schema. The sort of control that allows you to modify that internal schema to incorporate a new vendor's sc

by rpedela 12y ago
I think the data format is more the problem. What you describe is a problem, but of the annoying sort. If all the vendors spoke JSON (or some common, generic format) then you would only need to figure out a mapping for each vendor to your u

You can get a similar syntax with format() by nesting format() calls such as: EXECUTE format('SELECT * FROM tab %s', format('WHERE %I IS NOT NULL', 'id'));

Use format() for safely constructing dynamic queries. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/functions-string.h...

That can be solved by writing a SQL function and the user input values are arguments to the function.

The first half of my career was in graphics and games. I think at a high-level, React is similar to a rendering engine and React + Flux is similar to a game engine.

Yeah I do need to go through the list of supported SQL keywords for 9.4 and update the library. Thanks for the reminder. The main goal of the library is to behave like Postgres format() plus some JS sugar like handling an array of identifie
