Two words: News. Blur. I have been using https://newsblur.com for years now (ever since Google Reader died) and am not switching to anything else soon. RSS is not dead.

Why use the word RECURSIVE at all? The engine should recognize the "recursiveness" of the CTE automatically, at the compile stage. Some other DB engines have had this for years.

"The Cyberiad" was to me what reading primers are to the most of humanity: I learnt to read on it, being barely 4.5 y.o. I am in mid forties now; discovered Kandel's translation recently and falled in love with it immediately

Same here. I discovered Inbox quite recently and it does a great job for me.

Great idea. It took me some 2 years to realize that piano wasn't my favourite way of making noise; on the other hand though it gave me a solid base on the theory of music (intervals, notation, cleffs etc) so that picking another instru

DDoS on LastPass is not a big deal as long as you have at least one device logged on. LastPass database is stored locally and can be used off-line.
