FWIW I just tested a somewhat complex query using HAVING vs a sub-select as you indicated and Postgres generated the same query plan (and naturally, results) for both.

I agree. The government should not tell people what to eat and should not choose winners and losers, which is why farm subsidies need to be eliminated (or at least drastically reduced).

Conversely, the libertarian in me essentially ceased to exist after personally witnessing the initial American response to the pandemic. Libertarianism works best if every individual acts selfishly in their own interest, and the number of p

I think more interesting is the discrepancy in pricing between Bitfinex (which sponsors Tether) and all the other fiat-off-ramp exchanges. If you go to https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/markets/ and

I think the magic of frameworks is that engineers can be productive and create actual value without understanding how things actually work under the hood. In the AngularJS days, how many people could honestly say they understood the scope i

If you have $120k today and the choice is invest $120k immediately or $10k a month for the next 12 months, based on historical trends, it is better to invest the 120k today -- studies have shown lump sum beats DCA about 2/3 of the time

Why does Socket flag npm packages with "MIT" in the license field as non-FSF approved, such as in lodash [1]. It appears the FSF seems to prefer to call the MIT license "Expat" -- but Expat's SPDX identifier is lite

TFA listed two killer apps: buying drugs over the internet, and extortion (ransomware). I'll throw in a third: funding terrorism.

NYSE and NASDAQ are regulated exchanges with stable transaction prices (ie- regulatory taxes and fees). Unscrupulous crypto exchanges can generate "volume" out of thin air without any repercussions.

Why censor the blacklisted domain? Without any evidence that the domain wasn't financing or supporting terrorism, I will assume that it was -- so I'm glad it's gone from the internet.
