I wrote a Windows utility for muting input devices while you type. Alpha version, but might help someone: https://github.com/drittich/stealth-notes/releases

It's not clear to me what you are asking. How can you derive a FROM clause from SELECT * ? Perhaps you could provide an example?

Yes, I coded in JScript happily for about 3 years. Even better, using Windows Scriptlets let me write dynamically-compiled COM components in JavaScript that I would call from the w…

Before we shuffle off this mortal stack.

Really enjoyed this, thanks!

Possibly the first+N complete skeleton ever found. The first was over 160 years ago.

I think it is! There is an incredible amount of restraint and tension in that movie. It's in my top 2.

Similar experience here: I started early and played the game for a while, and years later with very little activity I'm still top 0.08%. My technique was to focus on speed. I wrote…

On satellite right now. I'm getting ~600ms latency :(

I loved del.icio.us back in the day. So much, that when it went down for a few days in 2003, I wrote a clone of it that I still use to this day, self-hosted. I also archive the tex…

This is a great answer. The details REALLY matter. One of my best early tech success stories was rewriting a SQL query that took 27 hours to one that took ~5 seconds. This was runn…

Do you know anyone that makes actual root beer that you'd recommend?

Came here to say this - I almost never think much of the code I wrote. But when I see a moment in time that I took the care to do something for future me, it's almost the same as l…

Feynman is not known as the "Great Explainer" for nothing. It occurred to me recently that one of his great gifts was in setting the stage for the learning process. He had a knack …

I'm getting a 403 from that link.

I believe it means the work needs delegation.

Thanks, I really appreciate the reply and hadn't thought about those side effects. I then thought "why not derive the identity type from an attribute on the identity property of th…

Thanks for reminding me about this, just taking a quick look at it now. Quick question: do you know why it uses methods like db.InsertWithInt32Identity(product) rather than db.Inse…

A show-case for little-known or new open-source projects that gives them a little attention.

I think it's best to let the student decide what's fake. It's better to analyze how the same story can be presented in vastly different ways, or with a different emphasis to furthe…
