OT

kinda annoying that on this blog post, if i press the up arrow cursor button or page up button it takes me to the top of the page , instead of scrolling up

the page down and cursor down button work as expected

--

kinda found the bug, when you first open the blog, the cursor stays on the top site navigation menu, as long as the cursor is up there, page up or cursor up will take you to the top of the page

click anywhere on the page that will change the cursor position, and now page up and cursor up work as expected

well its trade off , its easier to read, maybe a bit harder to write

also remember that sql is a query language not a programming language, so the main target are not programmers

also think of it this way, it might help, you start with that you really want

  select firstname, lastname, hobby 

so you start by saying you want a table (a relation, a relvar) that have first name , last name etc ... this is what you want then you tell me where to get it from

  from users 

so the order is not bad , it like saying, get me a a drink from the box you wont say, from the box get me a drink

select first resembles more natural language, and is more declarative

from first, is more procedural

what i want first, then how --> declarative

how to find what i want, then what i really want --> procedural

my problem with this is that timing

this comes in a time, when political correctness is considered woke and bad, this comes in a time where the right wing is gaining momentum of strength

"diversity not required" is not an innocent statement

this is not a move to the center, this is a move to the right (alt right)

the right move would have been to define and explain diversity, not exclude it , diversity is not just in race , diversity is freedom

I wouldnt call that getting clever, its just a string of what you did

    #object[String]

this link might help you with learn otp with gleam https://github.com/bcpeinhardt/learn_otp_with_gleam

Just mentioning gleam https://gleam.run/ which is a typed (and very opinionated) languages that runs on the BEAM

i dont know how much money this company was making, and why it couldnt invest in both backend and client facing communications

but, on the other hand, being client focused and continuously delivering client facing feature, might be the thing that keeps the revenu streams coming

in other words, i used to always take the dev side in stories like this, but overtime i learn to be more sympathetic to the clients, i have been in situations where the devs overestimated the value of cleaner architecture, its a financial service, not a software company, i think the real solution would have been to completely outsource the software development

maybe its good thing, vpn is the security tool most people think

vpn are good to workaround censorship ,

but i agree with the opinion that they are not a great security tool

What is in your opinion the best way to return from a division by zero

  * Infinity
  * Throw Error
  * 0 
  * Something else

I wanted to submit this as an ask hn, and share the url that suggest the 0 answer, but I sort of failed

the website act a bit weird, like laggy, when i scroll or click a link

and to save you few click, it uses PHP as the underlying platform and language

almost all ERP systems now moved to the cloud

on premise is the exception

what is the alt+enter trick? i dont think we came across it

Kinda funny, just yesterday, my kid found a solution for the issues he was having with fallout 4, and it was switching to use a local account

fallout 4 , was opening in window mode only, and no matter what we did it refused to read the setting to open full screen, also the game was not saving anything

he kept searching online, until he found someone suggesting to use a local account, and bingo, it fixed everything

i am not sure exactly why , but it seem it has to do with your home directory going through onedrive if you use an ms account , and this messed up the game ability to read settings and save progress

would webex free plan work you can share screens and she can give you control

this is too complex , i just wanted the price per brick over the years

like year -> price

this is too enterprisy

or to work 1-2 hours per day for dell, and work on their own dream the remaining of the day

what languages are used in those series

is it mainly c/c++

i dont think this one qualify as a functional language, since variables are mutable by default

on the second point yes, one the one hand too many languages and too few will see large adoption

one the other hand, competition and activity will drive the popular language to continue innovation and not stagnate, look at C# continuously adding functional features, java also to a lower degree

while many of those new small languages will never see wide use, their existing is pushing the tides

yes things like the tree sidebar, i think those UI element can be improved, again magit can be used for benchmark, this can improve the log viewer make it look nicer

yes

well, i dont see any explicit license information, but the source is available on their github repository

what does that legally mean, if a project on github share the source publicly, but doesnt state the license, is there like a defacto or default license that applies then

emacs just need to things

  * make it fast (magit is the benchmark, if magit becomes fast emacs is fast, for those who dont know magit is slow, very very slow)
  * add more UI stuff (graphical tree browsers, tables , etc ..) 

the core concepts and main UI of emacs are the best there is in my opinion, simple, uncluttered , logical

whats going on with volvo, they also recently made a job post for clojure, and now this

someone need to investigate their IT department

is this open source?

pijul seem to be written in rust, no one is mentioning it yet, so i though i would

also because the language a project is written in, is one of the first things i like to check

for me its the plugins speed

a good example is magit on emacs, magit seems great, and i really want to learn it and use it, but its very slow (at least on windows its slow enough to make you unable to practically use it)

in short, speed changes everything

i wonder how common this is, and why havent you heard of it, specially that you know about this site hacker news

this is almost on the same level as someone saying he never heard of subversion

did anyone try to install the android app on waydroid/linux does it work, is it safe?

powershell all the way

this is a dsl , compared to the more general powershell cli the file system commmands will sure be shorter or (subjectively) cleaner

but at what cost?

learning ans mastering pwsh, even if some commands will be longer, is a better investment

SQL being extended to become a file system dsl as some data lake solutions do, make more sense
