What are the good third-party payware GUIs for Postgres? I've looked and never seen any that came anywhere close to SSMS, much less SSMS + SQL Prompt combo.

Same thing happened to iHeartMedia (formerly ClearChannel). Bain Capital took it private via the leveraged buyout and now the company is burdened with $18B debt and is likely to declare bankruptcy soon.

I would say the FF devtools are almost there. And I prefer using them. But there are small things here and there and keep bringing me back to Chrome. Example of a network timeline. Chrome: https://i.imgur.com/16ZLENd.png Fi

I think your dislike of the current president is clouding your ability to see facts for what they are. Since the incident he condemned the guilty on the TV, tweeted about it multiple times, his daughter spoke extensively on the subject, va

I am not sure the poster from parent is all that wrong. The mainstream media (CNN , MSNBC, WaPo, NYT, HuffPo) straight up shilled for HRC during the election. CNN even provided HRC with questions for the debates.

You should check today then. The performance more than matches Chrome. In some area, it's straight up faster than Chrome (like closing tabs, for instance).

Not on the iPhone (which needs a good bug fixing rev) so far. The desktop version is not auto-updating, so I couldn't tell you.

I've switched to Firefox as well. For me, Chrome is slower but still has a killer feature that makes me fire it up once in a while. The killer feature? Ability to fill in credit card information when I am paying for something. Makes

I am always confused about posts like these. iPhone 7 comes with lighting headphones. Why can't you use those? No dongle required.

At least for my case, I found that Firefox debugger would sometime hang for a bit. It was slowing me down. I'll definitely give it a shot on my next JavaScript heavy project.

I've switched to Firefox full time (unless using F12 tools) - Electrolysis helped a lot. It has gotten very much faster and snappier, while Chrome feels laggy, particularly when closing or switching tabs. I've tried disabling al

I agree with you. However, since Obama kids literally had the best instructors money can buy, I am not sure how their mom can blame the teachers. The kids probably just didn't have an aptitude for STEM.

Doesn't it also stop the transfer of money from US to other countries e.g. the $100 billion annually funded by the developed nations for developing nations? If that's the case, it's not a political decision only.

You are correct. They actually have a tool that scans the Cocoa libraries and generates API bindings for Xamarin to use. Source: Miguel De Icaza on the .NET Rocks podcast.

Xamarin uses Cocoa Touch. It gets compiled to the same thing as something written in Swift. So definitely iOS Native.

Local methods are really cool, but kind of remind me of GOSUB in QuickBasic from back in the day. It was considered an anti-pattern, if I remember correctly.

That is exactly the approach I had in mind, except I would use the knowledge of the document type (as determined by AI) to guide OCR to specific sections of the page to get information from it. But I know next to nothing about AI and ML - t

Ideally, I would like to get all the information from the page. Phone numbers, who is suing whom, case caption, etc... With OCR, you get bits and pieces of information, but because I don't know what the type of the document is, it is

OCR is my current approach. I am not really happy with it. The quality of OCRing leaves much to be desired, probably due to the documents themselves being haphazardly handled by the court personnel. OCR itself is a pretty CPU intensive ac
