Yes, so excellent that it lets me add a date to USD and format it as a percentage, as I copy and paste that one formula into every row of data.

You already can. Shell redirection just connects file descriptors - they don't need to be text files. Maybe what you mean, is you want a terminal that can display a number of well-know content-types, negotiate with an upstream process for

Wow, poor precious. Are you likewise insulted when the bank tells you not to keep a written note of your PIN with your card? As obvious as it is to you to ensure good password hygiene, it should be obvious that Twitter has a clear interes

"any" applied to a generator expression with side-effects is smelly because of the generator expression with side-effects, not because of the short-circuit. "any" applied to a pure generator expression expresses the algorithmic optimizatio

"any" short circuits - you probably are not throwing away the boolean result. I do agree with the author that using a comprehension for the side-effect is smelly.

What better/more/cheaper stuff do IG users gain from this? No comment from IG. When companies "compete" by buying out the competition and shutting down trade, there is a loss of choice and utility and a loss to consumers.

I can't believe cost would be the dominant factor in the price difference. More likely, someone who has invested in a kindle will pay a higher price to obtain the convenience of the ebook and justify that investment. Publisher is just max

Volume drives the incremental cost towards marginal cost.

Exactly. Primary key is a subset of attributes - thus necessarily populated by values. It's worth considering the correspondence between the concept of functional dependency in the relational model, and the concept of a pure function in fu

Great talk. Love the phrase "Information Technology not Technology Technology". But I do think he has been a bit unfair to databases (and primary keys) generally, in characterizing them as "place oriented". The relational model is actual
