So they didn't record the rate in the transaction?!? Wow, that's... dumb.

git describe gives you what you want. It gives you the nearest tag, the number of commits from that tag and the git commit ID.

If you understand that the "sem" in semver is specifically about semantics and not about anything else, and that an API includes its current semantics in the semver, then it makes sense. The issues I've struck with other

The funny thing about trunkver being "compatible" with semver is that it is not semantically compatible, only format compatible. You could (but not necessarily should ) combine them by making the trunkver the "patch&qu

This is needed because people misunderstand the purpose of semver (IMNSHO). Semver is about the semantics of the software (it's in the name), so it's entirely about that software's interface (whether to the programmer via

You could join over them, but not really in the way you're thinking. Each of the columns that are databases would be updated when the functions execute. You could do weird crap like INSERT/DELETE as part of a postgres level SELECT
521.
by rswail 2y ago
Each of the columns is an instance of a SQLite database, so I assume (without looking at the source) that they properly multi-thread as needed. So there's not cross-SQLite-database connections or multiple writers going on.

by rswail 2y ago
You manage a fleet of devices that need to get operating parameters regularly, but they're complicated and SQLite is a great mechanism for sending that. So at the backend you have a postgres database that contains the device details et

If you can, watch the (very) old TV series called "Yes Minister" from UK television (it's from the 70s/80s). Sir Humphrey Appelby often explains to the Minister Jim Hacker how the Minister sets "policy" and it

In the UK (and other places like NZ/AU), public servants are permanent. They're not elected in any way. So they are employees of their departments and don't change when a minister changes. Ministers are almost always a member

The sort of pushbikes for littler kids lets them learn balance and steering before also having to learn how to pedal and brake. So half the learning happens on those pushbikes before they move to real bikes.

I tried Pulumi 5 years ago because the idea looked cool and you could write code instead of HCL and apply things like loops etc. However, the problem I found was that a Pulumi provider has two "sides", one is on the Pulumi side of

The top 1% are closer to a homeless person on the street than they are to the top 0.1%. The wealth inequality in the US is the underlying fracture in the social compact that is driving the populist politics that are at play.

Given that a Mac mini with an M4 is basically the same size and shape as an Apple TV, they could make a new Apple TV that was a gaming console as well. Why is the Apple TV only focused on passive entertainment?

For years I've been saying that a programming course is composed of two subjects: 1. Date and Time Programming 2. Debugging You will encounter every possible issue and common bug when doing #1, leading naturally to #2.

I'd bought the laptop first, got the MM because it's small and good for travel and using the top as a trackpad/scroller. Then I bought an iMac and the 2nd MM came with it. I'm pretty sure that I'm not that unusual.

Upgraded my father to one when the M1 came out. Perfect size and screen for him, more performance than he'll ever need (browsing and occasional word processing/spreadsheets). He's very happy with it.
