The SQL spec is barely comprehensive of the SQL dialects found “in the wild”, let alone the entirely independent and much more interesting set of non-table managing/querying features databases provide. It provides at best a baseline fo

That's why I'm suggesting the model is fundamentally wrong -- it shouldn't be represented as a tree (because conversation is a graph), and it shouldn't be represented as a "feed", because its infinitely recursi

The problem with this argument is that Washington Post could be 100% objective and your argument would remain the same. I'm not sure there was anything they could that would alleviate your concern, except removing bezos as owner altoge

IMO *chan's are still the best way to handle this, especially when you can expand inline. You maintain the linear flow of conversation, and linearity maintains its status in the foreground, but you can optionally expand into other the

The general problem, I think, is that talking the talk is not that hard, especially if you're not already well-covered in that domain (e.g. an established department/strong competency in the specific area) -- see all of sales. It&

I think more generally the issue is being swamped with unqualified talent, such that it's difficult to identify actual talent amongst the mess. A lot of people are not trying to be good at what they do, they're just trying to be p

I'm not sure I am; the current behavior is almost always surprising and unexpected. You effectively need to keep a list in your head of everything that will clear your clipboard, which is really a list of everything that could ever c

I'm not sure overall-length would be affected by "short attention span" -- it would be "entertainment spikes" or I suppose "average time between significant events". Perhaps the best term is pacing -- how

Aren’t things that could change always defined by a formula? You already have two paste operations — by value or by function. It seems to me the reasonable thing is to simply follow through: if you paste by value, you paste whatever it was

You could do the same thing today, offering a certificate of authenticity or whatever, validated by the relevant comunnaly accepted authority, and it would be be just as baffling and nonsensical an offer. The certificate is not the weilder

They would presumably do the same thing at the next area, as they move on, so you’d have multiple patches where this occurred, presumably with an offset-but-similar lifecycle at each location, as they rotated between viable lands

However, most of that should be done in the background — it shouldn’t affect your actual text input speed. Auto-format is more along the lines of something that could be blocking, but we’re not dealing with latex problems as to be significa

Isn’t the whole basis for the fake news argument a lack of critical thinking by the masses? It’s why it needs to be called out, regardless of obviousness.

It seems strange that a state solely determines the boundary for a crime, solely enforces that boundary, solely executes the related punishment, and then suddenly everyone’s piling on. If it’s the job of the state, it should be the job of t

It also gives you an easy out when you’re decent at one side but not the other... it was never in my nature, so there’s no way to improve it, or reason to try. The same kind of thing that happens with left brain vs right brain, for arts vs

In that case, would there be any purpose going to a publisher rather than a bank directly? You’d be paying infinite royalty on success in exchange for.. marketing & distribution?

Names won’t help you understand the fundamentals. It will help you follow the logic, given the fundamentals are understood. For example I’m reading a PDF now where you have 6 variables involved - 2x2 matrix D which is decomposed to variable

This is intended for viewing some other (remote) player 's jump (during a disconnect). It wouldn't touch your own (local) jump. It's the equivalent of letting an AI take over the player when the player drops out, with the AI

Isn't this basically equivalent to what they did? Their actual action was to include a dummy rust requirement just to break/warn people who wouldn't be prepared for it as an actual dependency.

Sure, but there are definitely more than 436 AAA titles, and decently sized chunk of that tail includes indie games with a reasonable number of sales. So you’d expect the epic store to have many more games, even if it doesn’t approach the g

Well, right now everyone and everything claims to be secure; this puts a number on that claim, and gives you companies explicitly claiming that they’re not secure (at least, they wouldn’t bet on it), which is quite a bit more information th
