I'd guess it's a convention of that society, and means no more than our (peculiar, in my view) manner of the writing of some letters starting "Dear Sir" and ending "I remain faithfully yours ...", or similar

I've seen these pics before and have noted that, given tusks are teeth and have a large amount of phosphorus in them, surely these buried tusks must have extracted then locked up an enormous amount of bio-available phosphorus which mus

IDK but do a search with https://www.gmbmg.com/ and check the URL it uses. It may be a useful trick.

True. And you can address it yourself by blocking JS mainly, and ads, and be amazed at how snappily a web page renders (when it does, which is often but not always sans JS).

I searched for something arbitrary (the word "omnipotent") and it came back in about 2 seconds. What are you getting?

I'd not intended to suggest it was a problem, only that it was perhaps related to the inability to get into the flow. Merely an observation. Parasite the korean film?

You've not justified this. I'd be very interested in understanding why you make this claim.

I agree, I've heard of 'the flow' but it's never happened to me. Perhaps related, perhaps not, I never 'sink in' to films I'm watching. My old GF seemed to be able to, but I'm always on the outside lo

I think it's for other reasons (and grouping on expressions is quite reasonable anyway). It's (IIRC!) something to do with the situation of select x + y as x from ... group by x which x are we talking about? (Logical

Interesting. It doesn't work in MSSQL, and I understand that's correct (ie. isn't allowed) per the standard.

I don't deny your right to challenge, but tight now I can't give an example. I've just gone through months of my posts looking for one particular post that might clarify but I can't find it. Not being able to search your

> Simpler is easier than complex, right? Well, no. Complexity has an obvious price but simplicity does too. You have to work for simplicity, even fight for it. Think of code; it just somehow becomes more complex. You have to work to par

Not really. Most is pretty well standard SQL (CTE optimisation fence pre PG12 being one exception, and there are a couple more, but really it's mostly standard stuff).

I always, always forgot what column aliases I can use where. Thanks for the reminder.

This is a pretty trivial list. Useful for beginners I guess. I seriously take issue with "Reference Column Position in GROUP BY and ORDER BY" though. If it is restricted to ad-hoc (AKA messing-about) queries I'd be fine wit

I'm curious; could you explain/link to some explanation of Eric Naggum's views that showed why he disliked the web. Thanks.

Every single previous discussion will cover this, pros and cons. Look in HN prior posts for your answer.

Companies absolutely hate bad publicity. Also, what have you got to lose at this point. Good luck.

Java was dire. It could have been much better when released - though granted it was designed for embedded originally, but it was then arguably mis-sold. Performance was avoidably bad in some parts of the libraries. I recall a major rewrite

That's the way I (try to) think, sort of, but honestly the successful projects are the ones with money behind them. Java was just terrible but IIRC Sun put in approx. $0.5 billion into advertising it and it was jumped all over by execs

Is that a criticism? Because if it wasn't the tone of your last line I'd take it as a compliment to the site. What would the value being non-hyper-functionalist, or to ignore access needs of some people? Are you trolling?
