I'd like to know what the others are.

Interesting, I never thought of it that way. Do you think this applies specifically for junior developers, or do you think junior developers are exempt from this (allowed to ask about anything)?

I think this is also the definition of scalping (scalpers).

> Genuine question: did you check that domain before you posted your comment?

Indeed I did. It showed me some generic buy-this-domain website with no substantial/relevant info (actual products killed by the Amazon mega corporation).

Nevertheless I presented my comment as a concept of `a website that lists the products killed by Amazon`, which could have been located in https://productskilledbyamazon.com, for all I know. It would be more interesting to find out if such website actually exists.

EDIT: A quick internet search does not net me any results. Which is why I'm skeptical it actually exists.

Perhaps a better comparison would be, https://killedbyamazon.com/ (or killedbyaws?), which I don't think exists at all.

I was curious where the actual SQL standard document is. With a quick search this is the best I can come up with:

Second informal review draft from the accepted answer: http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt

Downloadable iso standards (C-f sql) http://www.iso.org/PubliclyAvailableStandards

> The repair bar employees would regularly rifle through customers’ hard drivers and keep the juciest pictures

Pretty creepy. And this is from a well known company/establishment.

Pardon my ignorance, but couldn't we just cryptographically sign bash scripts as well?

Perhaps modify the installation script, something like `curl | some-verification-tool | bash`

I hate(fear?) cockroaches with the entirety of my being, especially the flying variant. As a child, a cockroach once bit my toe. That's one times too many. I immediately grab the nearest hard object I can find to slay these F#$%^ERS. I've also heard stories of cockroaches entering people's ears (EWW!).

That said, I have no problem with the name CockroachDB whatsoever.

Brilliant, thank you! Sad to see there is no extension for Safari, however.

Clicked the link, immediately annoyed by the cookie banner which covered the bottom HALF of the screen. I believe humanity went wrong somewhere.

It might help to clarify what type of Math you want to learn. E.g., right now I'm learning discrete math to improve my understanding of algorithms.

> as dumb as JavaScript

Could you elaborate on this?

If anyone wants to share their thoughts on the code quality I would be happy to read them.

> I think the long term solution for this problem is the developers of open source software like the bit torrent client, youtube-dl and other similar software will have to host their code outside of the reach of DMCA regualation

I'm not sure about that. I think the real long term solution is to have a decentralized version of YouTube/video publishing platform that is resistant (invulnerable?) to censorship. I'm not saying that it's not difficult, or even impossible, but I would love to see more discussion regarding true web decentralization, not legal semantics.

At first I thought the title was too clickbaity. Then I saw the amazon reviews and now I'm curious and will add this to my read list. I'd like to know your thoughts if you've read it as well.

I love freedom and it is basically the first thing I think of when coming up with a list of "things I care about the most".

With that said, I'm trying to think about what would reddit/youtube/<insert any public viewable platform> look like in my utopian world of free speech.

Where would I draw the line for which can and can't be posted? Should media related to pornography, terrorism, or pedophilia be allowed or forbidden? How about gore, violence, or any other form of crime / morally wrong concept?

I've personally seen (without intending to) the video of the New Zealand Christchurch shooting. On seeing that video I have never been more disgusted in my entire life. I felt like I wanted to puke, hell I want to puke as I type this. Should that be allowed or forbidden?

In my view everything should be allowed, that is, there should be no form of censorship whatsoever. It is up to the individual, based on the value system that he/she has accumulated throughout his/her life, to decide whether what he/she is seeing/reading is acceptable or deplorable. But no one should be able to decide that for another individual.

I'm not sure what the fuss is all about. I've only been developing for < 2 years, and I used to add detailed MERGE commit messages, but I realized that it's just duplication of information (which can be read from the INDIVIDUAL commit messages). I've left MERGE commit messages empty since then

Same. I liked the previous iterations, however.

We can shorten it further. Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, "In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless but planning is indispensable."

Yes, but a restaurant wouldn't be entering into these special deals if it wasn't beneficial to them as well. Even if the margins are much lower, it could be offset by the increase in number of customers/orders.

> cmd #tag to tag a hard to remember command

Command tagging wasn't really explained in the deck. I had to read this archived web page for an explanation:

https://web.archive.org/web/20191216131445/https://www.ostec...

My case is similar to BossingAround, sometimes I wonder if I have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misophonia, every little sound irritates me.

EDIT: I didn't really drive my point home. It's not the friendly face that bothers me, in fact if it was a friendly face then it would hurt me less. But it still hurts regardless.

Eat when hungry, sleep when tired

It makes sense when we assume that StackOverflow's audience are those who know enough not to use IE11.

I don't know how I missed this. To be fair the "New site from git" button looks bright and green, while the "drag and drop your site folder here" looks dull and grey.

Yep, I had to explain the concept of version control system, using the old my_doc_file.docx, my_doc_file_final.docx, my_doc_file_final_final.docx, ...

I just told him when to use the commands git init, remote, add, commit, and push and what the workflow looks like.

As a couple of people have mentioned, there is a drag and drop feature. How did I miss this!? Anyway it would have saved a couple of minutes of explanation.

How about https://www.netlify.com? Recently had to teach a non-tech person how to host a website from scratch. With all the non-trivial requirements (dns, vps, web server), I thought it would be easiest to just use netlify. That way, a git push on the repo will deploy the site immediately.

> And yes everyone breathes the wrong way, we pull in stomach when inhaling which is supposed to be otherway round

This statement confused me, so just to be clear, this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldNnKVGxabA demonstrates the correct way to breathe right?

Wrong - pull in stomach (breathe with chest)

Right - expand stomach

I understand how you feel, and while I agree with you to a certain extent, I'm reminded of a particular behavior children make, which I will embody into a quote: "Just because you closed your eyes doesn't mean the monster is gone."

Also "Ignorance is bliss." Which could be interpreted either way.
