If you're interested in this topic, watch this film based on a true story about an Icelander who survived at sea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deep_(2012_film)

I wouldn't try to understand them completely, he is an artist and transcendental meditator. Try to appreciate them as painting not as a narrative and I think you'll enjoy them even more. Inland Empire is really a fan film in my op

I love 2001, but Inland Empire was almost too much for me, I'm pleased I went to see it though. From Lynch watching Eraserhead or Mulholland Drive (heavily influenced by Ingmar Bergman's Persona) were much more pleasurable. After

I'm from a small city in a poor region of the UK. I find that many friends from that area work either at the local council or the NHS (hospitals etc), Education or decentralised government agencies e.g. Tax, vehicle licensing, immigrat

Thanks, I would love to have a look at that, I already have a Masters Degree in Electronic Engineering (from a lifetime ago), but was so impressed to learn more about low level game programming with such an accessible guide - this would hav

It's definitely not overkill, it's probably one of the biggest free gifts to programmers I'm aware of. That said it would be a full time job for me for a year to get through it. I wish it had been available when I was a teena

PL/SQL Developer is excellent but you do have to pay for it. It's not expensive though, much cheaper than TOAD!

Really, I think they are expanding in that area, just not pushing for deregulation just yet: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/may/10/china-pearl-r...

I'd be very interested in this after years of working with Oracle (and SQLServer), I know a little Postgres and would like to learn more.

Thanks for pointing this out, this did indeed fix the problem. Somewhere in the installation I had ended up with 1.1 but it works fine now.

by thorin 9y ago
Not yet, and I was thinking that this might be the issue - would you expect this to be required? dotnet --version shows 1.1.0, I think I assumed that the latest VS2017 would have the latest dotnet core but this doesn't seem to be the c

Enjoying the book, I'm new to to asp and razor although I have done a little .net wep api before. I have an issue with the first view, when running I get the error below on all references in the cshtml. I'm using a stock install o

Depends what you are looking for exactly and what skillset you have. When I was using it jasper reports now owned by tibco had free options.

Devon/Cornwall is a lot more like the north or indeed a different country compared to London. Even in London people will come together in the right situation - commonly moaning about the weather, queuing etc.

To learn, I'd start by absorbing the https://www.w3schools.com web site. Also looking at the rendering of pages in google web tools or similar will let you know what you're getting into. For server side look at any mod

I wouldn't find out too much about it before you read it but it's an autobiography covering his medical school days, travelling and inner travels. It's entertaining and thought provoking.

I always really enjoyed Travels by Michael Crichton. Considering how popular he is I've never spoken to anyone else who's read it. It gave me a lot to think about in my early 20s. I also enjoyed Jonathon Livingston Seagull, which

Using EV/Tesla as a taxi seems strange due to the charging time involved, you think it would limit the flexibility in terms of range or working hours although I believe the fast charging of the Tesla might be much more viable than a Le

That's what I was expecting to see but I couldn't find in your post. Thanks for the clarification. Would be good to see a similar mode in postgres as I know pgsql is close, transpilation makes stored procs cool!

I started writing backend software for banks, oil and gas distribution and utilities around 20 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if most of it was still running in some form.

Can you clarify this? The reason Oracle is so prevalent is that many companies have millions of lines of code in pl/sql, may use many proprietry Oracle features which until recently weren't implemented in SQLServer or Postgres. Th
