Not necessarily. Their nervous system could have simply evolved in such a way that it is hardwired to go after anything that seems like a small fish.

To be fair, that’s not part of the SQL standard, it was just an unintended quirk in PostgreSQL resulting from a series of historical choices. It actually kind of makes sense how that happened; once the requirement to use AS was dropped, it

No, they made an order of magnitude mistake. Fairly common, it happens. However, in this case it has taken it from “ordering bacon and avocado on my burger” to “two tickets to my local sports team including beers and chili cheese fries”. So

When I was 13 or so, a friend and I were walking through an alley when we saw a power cord hanging out of a dumpster. We looked in and found 3 or 4 boxes that looked very similar to this one, which we rescued and tried to use, without much

Wait, so you’re saying Finns have no way to distinguish between “your moon is burning” and “pruce tree returns”??? No wonder Nokia failed.

Oh, please. You are proposing that people just ignore a contract that they don’t like, because, according to you, if enough people do so there are no consequences. > I am surprised I have to say this, but it is best to read the comments

You can say that about anything. All laws are just enforced because people agree to do so. What you’re proposing is literally anarchy, and nothing good comes from that. As much as people might be annoyed by their city’s foolish agreement, m

No, it’s a very natural power—the courts. If Chicago ignores the contract, they’ll get sued and have to pay even more.

Nah. No speed limits is great, as long as everyone behaves by the rules. Stay the hell out of the left lane, unless you’re passing. If you’re in the left lane and someone is in your rear-view, you move right. Otherwise, drive as fast as you

What contradiction? One statement refers to the entire population and the other refers to the subset of the population who are AfD supporters. There’s no problem with both statements being true.

I feel like this question fundamentally demonstrates a lack of understanding of what arbitrage actually is. The obvious answer is: Because water seeks its own level. If there is an imbalance in the market, someone will balance it. That'

I thought I was just enjoying some juvenile humor drawing dong after dong, then I got to a banana, a cucumber, and three pickles, and realized I was pretty much doing exactly what was intended.

Less than 8 actually. 0 at the start of a number indicates it’s octal, so 08 and 09 are not syntactically valid numbers.

They’re basically not a fire hazard at all unless they get really dried out. In fact, large patches of succulents such as ice plant are often used as a firebreak.

I only had two days to spend in the Netherlands with my family a few months ago, so we went to Amsterdam. I’ve never smoked so much as a puff of marijuana in my life, but I’m still glad I went. I was a bit put off by the prevalence of the w

I mean, okay… but… A lot of command line software already works that way, where you only need to type the minimum number of characters required to disambiguate a command, and as far as I know nobody has died yet as a result.

Or even better, buy six million identical batteries, label them, discharge them randomly, run some rudimentary tests, and announce you’ve identified a room-temperature superconductor! …Too soon?

Why even bother with all of the STS cleverness? The article suggests a perfectly good way to get a rough but trusted time stamp by… scraping it from a known good HTTP server. Anyway, STS as described is an obviously broken protocol. It’s no
