So the language implies something about the functionality of the database. That seems obvious enough. But does it necessaruly tell you anything about the underlying structure and t…

I'm curious where the most perceived "value" is. For example, is it in the internal structures of the database? Is it in the query language? Is it in the fact that everything is pa…

He knows most ideas will fail when they are executed. So the "logical" thing to do is to stop executing and just acquire existing patents and file for new ones. Then wait for other…

1. But those are general statements. Opinions. What I mean is give me a specific case. A specific example, a specific block of JSON and a specific task. Once I have that, then I ca…

As a general rule, your approach (ignorance) is flawed. Have you looked at the HTML? It's minimal; some of the simplest you will see. No Javascript. All CSS is in the page, at the …

This doesn't work with my sed-based XML parsers. :(

Nice long form. But I'm tired of hearing about this guy's lifestyle or his character. That's not the really interesting issue here. The issue is technology. Some people undertand i…

If they're trying to sell us on this free software, why don't they provide a diagram of the SSP packet instead of telling us about UTF-8 support? I can tell whether I'm seriously i…

It's is one of life's small pleasures when programs (useful programs) compile fast and with relative simpicity. If you want to experience this, try www.sigala.it/sandro/ and cutils…
