I finally replied, in other parts of this subthread. Your points were not important enough to me to reply earlier :) Not worth my time to engage more, due to the silliness and insignificance of the whole (finger-pointing and moralising) is

Even your first sentence above smacks of weasel words: "I don't like to ...". Just "hand out" [1] the freaking downvote or comment and be done with it, FFS. Qualifying with "I don't like to" is weak

>engage with the commenter's not-completely-unreasonable point Wow. Might I suggest you stop using weasel words, or stop waffling. You could have said "reasonable point", unless you're waffling to leave yourself wit

1. Might I suggest that you try to sound less prissy / less like a scandalized Victorian schoolmarm in your choice of words, and meaning? 2. See what I said to user maccard in this subthread, here: https://news.ycombinator.c

Right, but only sometimes.That does not mean that what you said applies in my case above. just that you think so. "Very subject to" is not hard facts, it is hand-wavy. Very poor logic on your part, because I clearly said, above

CRUD is basic to low-code / no-code solutions. It is almost the point of their existence. Because for more complex / custom stuff, coded solutions anyway exist and are more powerful and flexible, though at cost of more time and mo

All of nature and natural mechanisms are fascinating. So much of math and science and beauty in it, as scientists and the lay public keep discovering. Just today, sitting at a cafe outside a town, I saw something new to me: a small frog, j

The GP may or not be suggesting that, but coconuts do migrate. Their physical structure enables that: a sealed capsule that can float, with rich nutrient density inside, and airtight, so due to all that, stays viable while it is carried ac

Any language that has assertions can be used to simulate at least preconditions and postconditions, and maybe some support for invariants. As the team leader for the second version of a database middleware product developed in C, being conv

Thanks for the detailed reply. >Sorry I can't think of a very good example right now No problem. I should say that I didn't understand your reply fully, due to not having the full necessary background. But I think I got the ro

Disagree away. It's your right to disagree with my opinion, as it is mine to disagree with yours, or with your opinion of my opinion :)

Interesting. Could some kind of topological sort of the clauses, like I think Unix make does for the rules defined in a makefile, be applicable and of help, or is that not meaningful here? PL theory is not my area, just throwing out a wild

Cannot answer for everyone in India, of course, even broadly, because I have never checked this out before. But for home use, based on my own approach and that of relatives and friends, I can say: just in a place in the kitchen away from d

Did you even read and think about what I wrote, or did you just do a knee-jerk reply? I said sense of taste and common sense, not lamenting in a blanket kind of way for the past. Jeez. I'm big on innovation (see my work blog, HN comme

Got it now, thanks. Yes, I've heard that the greenish parts of the potato tuber are toxic and should be discarded. Contain some alkaloids, likely. The potato is a plant in the Solanaceae family, which includes common edible plants l

Interesting points. Didn't know some of them. My 2c: in India, I don't think anyone stores potatoes in the fridge, even though we have quite hot weather in many parts of the country. Does trimming the sprouts prevent them from rot

I'm almost sure that my copy of the GoF book did have that sentence as the only one on its page, and as I said earlier, it was on a separate page before the main body of text, i.e. even before chapter one. Maybe we have different e
