Yes. Every day. The developers here write SQL that runs acceptably for a given schema at a given point in time. Unfortunately, the code pattern isn't scalable (which is generally why people say that RDBMS' can't "scale&q

A nice sci-fi trope is that the unpredictability of humanity, and when/how it will "fail" when something better would "succeed", results in the preservation of humanity itself. It's nice to consider in the wake

My company-issued Lenovo X1 Carbon 2 has a touchbar. I hate it because it's so poorly executed. If I want to use a Function key, I have to cycle through the options to get to the Function key ... uhh ... functionality. What's that

I agree with most of your assessment and would add that I find that so much "meaningful content" is now almost required to be packaged and "sold" as a Twitter bite. So much meaningful and necessary content is not reducib

Where do you see ANYthing about trespassing, and how do you interpret ANYthing that either I or the OP stated as condoning it? It was simply stated that trespassing is clearly defined as illegal. Lobbyists have cornered winning in the polit

You're still speaking in extremes and failing to see the middle ground. It's another logical fallacy. You're saying that they're relying on an electronic device to manage _all_ of the daily activities. You also take it t
