In fairness to Emacs, this is a bit sour grapes on my part! I have tried to go fully into the "Emacs mindset" (org-mode for everything, multiple pages of custom hydra keybinds etc.) a number of times and I always bounce off. I alw

The title of the post here ("Choose tools that make you happy") is wrong. I wrote "You can choose tools that make you happy" to mean "you have permission to use tech just because it makes you happy or triggers your

This suffers from the "sufficiently smart compiler" problem. The query planner that can do what I mean with maximal efficiency is always just over the horizon. There's always yet another query that can't be optimized aut

At least in Postgres, table-valued functions can't take tables as arguments, only scalars. That's the main difference: functors can not just return tables, but take tables satisfying some interface as arguments. https:/&#x2F
