My python is rusty but IIRC it allows functional stuff (except for expression-only lambdas, boo). From https://docs.python.org/3/howto/functional.html it's got map/filter/currying and plenty more, w

Huh! That makes sense, thanks! It's standard univ. quantifier behaviour, I hadn't made the link. Also that's bloody odd because date or darwen (or both) explicitly called out this behaviour as flawed in SQL when in fact it&#x

Very interesting. I know exactly what you mean, of how features chang the mindset of the user. I'm nowhere near doing what you want but I've been looking for generally useful DB constraints that currently have to be done via tri

The first question they should be asking is, how much of this can I discard immediately, and how much can I discard after storing it in summarised form, then get technical.

Yeah, write unclever code then refactor. Unless you know the domain well don't try to get smart upfront. I do this repeatedly, pushing the abstraction layer higher on each rewrite. I rarely start out with the abstraction first. [Edit:

This isn't even a macro thing, it just needs trivial use of procedures/methods, and I too have worked with people that are fine copying much larger chunks of code around rather than make a new function, and I just don't under

Now this is an answer I can work with! I completely agree they represent a language deficiency and that should be rectified within the language, but that's not always practical than or even possible. Sometimes you have to fiddle with t

by zasdffaa 5y ago
You don't get always to choose your language, and even then there will be stuff that needs automated cut & paste at a level that the language can't provide (even down to the lexeme level). Which is why I use generated code for

You're right of course but 3rd party seem to be the great majority, so blocking them is a big easy win. Also, only 3rd party cookies can track between domains/sites, so that stops that, or so I believe.

by zasdffaa 5y ago
If you don't specify I can't help. If marketing = 3rd party then you can block these using the hosts file at the domain level, which I do. This blocks >95% of crap cookies. A clear question gets a clear answer.

You don't answer my question, then use a vague term of 'technically work' to ensure I can't give you useful info tl;dr you don't want to be helped.

Be nice if the website worked without JS. It doesn't even show images. I appreciate low-tech solutions like TUIs, that should extend to websites. IMO anyway.

I know about TTM etc, but what business value would that bring to be fully relational? Specifically, thanks.
