Documentation substantially longer than the implementation can mean the abstraction/interface is more complex than simply reimplementing for a specific use case would have been. Sometimes you want a library anyway in these circumstance

Get it covered under civil asset forfeiture somehow. If our rights are going to be trampled anyway, might as well be some social benefit.

I do drive. I can't remember the last time I used my horn. If someone is about to merge into me my solution is not to hope they suddenly drive competently in response to a honk, I avoid them. Or more likely, I've avoided them ahea

What are you trying to do, and why the C++ requirement?

Allow construction of undesirable housing, like SROs.

Oh, was your objection specifically to allowing references to following (not just preceding) select list items? Then we're in violent agreement. That would be complicated to implement and confuse users. Definitely not worth it.

What do you use recursive queries for?
489.
by sagarm 4y ago
It can definitely be misused, but SELECT * is pretty handy for ad-hoc queries and to succinctly get all (or almost all) of the columns for a subquery or CTE.

I agree that it's ugly and don't use it myself, but I find that I modify the last item in a list far more frequently than the first. Probably because the grouping columns tend to go first by convention, and these change less.

I've seen quite a few production queries that use indexes in GROUP BY and ORDER BY; it's quite common. Probably partially because linters/code review/etc are lightweight to nonexistent amongst the analysts/data scie

Many dialects already support using aliases in GROUP BY and HAVING too, btw. IMO it's most useful (though somewhat more difficult to implement) to be able to use the aliases with window functions or large case/when statements, som

by sagarm 4y ago
Note you can already reference select list items in GROUP, HAVING, and ORDER BY so it's not that big of an extension. I've implemented the ability to reference select-list aliases before; it's not that hard to do if implement

The article has over a dozen links to articles and quotes data from several studies, so this claim seems contrary to the evidence.

Presumably the Sacramento utility district doesn't serve high risk fire areas, so their customers don't have to subsidize people that choose to live on the wildlands-urban interface.

by sagarm 5y ago
People who choose to live in the Wildlands urban interface should bear the cost for undergrounding the wires they rely on IMO. Probably politically infeasible, unfortunately.

The reality on the ground is that 1) pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers have to share space 2) speed limits aren't enforced on drivers 3) drivers that hit pedestrians at 40mph kill 50% of their victims; at 25mph, they only kill 10%.[1]

2-way stops often feel stressful or unsafe if there is any significant traffic. Roundabouts seem like an improvement with the much lower chance of being t-boned.

GP meant that you are paying $5.80 for a therm's worth of electricity, so therefore electric and gas are the same cost at a COP of $5.80/$1.60 = 3.65. At a higher COP electric is cheaper; at a lower COP, gas is cheaper. You can us

That would require removing parking. The small minority of drivers in the city get VERY worked up about the possibility. It's a classic example of how policy changes with diffuse benefits and concentrated costs are hard to implement.

The set of jobs that require moving around a truck full of tools is tiny relative to the number of workers -- blue collar or not -- that don't need this. So who, really, is the common man? https://www.bls.gov/opub/

Adding capacity enables/encourages more sprawl, resulting in more VMT without additional value created.

The California requirements can be met with off-site solar, though this is currently being litigated.

The article notes that at least in California, infra costs are roughly 75% of real costs so the sounds about right.
