One place advertised on StackOverflow jobs a while back. I followed to their job details. Under perks of the job they said free fruit, and that they used version control. That as a fat No then.

Now this is a useful answer, and perhaps the best in the thread, thanks

by zasdffaa 4y ago
I don't think subqueries are so bad - at least they're clear, and if fast, that's surely problem solved. IME they are clearer and often faster, so overall better. I know purists don't like them but I do.

Am curious. How would you write it 'properly'? Other (good) alternative is with toporders as ( select max(order_total) as maxOT, customer_id from orders group by customer_id ) select last_name, maxOT

In fairness there's nothing weird about that, it being just a typical correlated subquery. I'd quite possibly do it that way.

I do think we should be "protecting all the things we hold dear, family, culture, art, friends, the future", which is why I prioritise eg. climate change, it is a far greater threat.

The website's awful. There's no user testing on it - why do I have a 20 sec progress bar before it tells me I need to select files - where from? Drag from where? What format? Found the datasets - what is AAPL.csv? What do the colu

I see. Seems rocket engine efficiency must have seriously improved while I was not looking, thanks.

by zasdffaa 4y ago
Did I miss something or did this rocket have no stack - it was a single stage (with boosters, but aside those still one undivided rocket)? Can anyone comment on that please.

I don't understand that. Quite literally it is (or seems to be). In the 'design' section: "With a single-level storage the entire storage of a computer is thought of as a single two-dimensional plane of addresses, pointi

it's not undefined behaviour, rather it's trying to be helpful by coercing stuff where it can. Unless I'm missing something, it's perfectly defined.

This has been known for decades, and is why the original mac (1980s?) was black on white. It keeps being forgotten. UI knowledge keeps being lost.

Good question, my answer was misleading. It changes virtually nothing in the parse or in the resulting AST. Writing the parser as a process has made me (even) more familiar with SQL syntax and semantics and understand it better, which has

by zasdffaa 4y ago
Turning mistakes into possibly unwanted run-time behaviour is dodgy. The user may end up with a problem that's harder to debug than just a crash. Perhaps have a switch that can enables stronger type checking.

Having written an sql parser, I very very strongly agree.
