You are absolutely missing the point. The point is not about indexes or full table scans, but it's a about cloud providers who will charge you for every row "inspected" and how a full table scan might cost you $0.15 and it wo

Mark your calendar for 20 year anniversary repost at Nov 29 next year. I wonder when the original issue occurred, SunOS with Sendmail 5 ? Upd: oh, the linked FAQ says it probably occurred between 1994 and 1997.

Make the fonts look _good_ on those screenshots, and we don't need to talk about it. As it stands, the font rendering on those screenshots makes me want to vomit.

Is somebody who spends their money buying a bunch of lottery tickets an investor? I don't think this can be called investing, and I don't think the folks who got taken for a ride here deserve to be called "investors".

The porcelain is where you shit into (the "porcelain throne"), and it implies that the pipes too are all full of shit. I think this terminology was not well thought through. It's somewhat degrading.

In Germany this marked niche is so under-served, there's a whole company (Nextmove) dedicated to rentals of electric cars. They position themselves as "try before you buy" experience, so you can do an extended test over multi

I've worked on a real-life product built using MyBatis, which you'd think is supposed to be best of both worlds - non connected DTOs, seamlessly filled out from SQL statements you write in the mapping configuration, etc etc. In pr

It takes about 10 years for full blown alcohol dependency to develop, I feel that's the one unspoken truth about alcoholism. It's a slow descent.

Where do the pipes come from, though? And it's not just "a" pipe and "b" pipe you are connecting. It's not a "pipe" at all. It's complicated components that can have complicated interactions.

Are you sure? I watch Bjørn Nyland's channel and he goes to an independent repair shop in Norway to fix out-of-warranty Teslas. And there's quite a few of those cars in Norway by now.

From the strikes of train driver's unions in Germany, I think that's where it is headed. "You can automate trains if you like, but the whole current workforce still must stay employed."

I don't get why address of slice returned from "append" does not change. Maybe in a trivial program like this the backing array can always be extended in-place, because there in memory fragmentation. Is that still true in an

the line `s = append(s, 50)` redefines what "s" actually is. And after this line `ps` points to some previous version of what "s" used to be.

It is, but why not address it in the article? The article does not have a word "minority" or "screeching" in the text.

You know what I hate? Titles that say specific words that are never repeated in the article. A title that has so little to do with the contents of article, that it might as well be a random reference to some throw-away line in some comment

Building "code" and bureaucracy around it seems to be some kind of weird cult. I bet in this day and age it is actually quite cheap to build, if you look at what costs in term of materials and actual wages of construction workers.

Just add all those to the map system. It could be made incredibly accurate, if construction companies are able to actually submit their work zones and "geofence" them off on the map.
