Any recommendation for a prettifier / SQL linter?

+1, strongly. Anybody selling meditation as a silver bullet is deluded or selling something.

I unplugged my AirGradient a couple days ago. It's quite the useless piece. The CO2 sensor does not read CO2 levels, and recalibrates automagically. I have completely wacky reading…

What's with the weird 'i' in "tıtle"?

edit: none of this seem to be true, big-ass pickup trucks are just not popular in Europe. Isn't it for Australia only? Are those models even sold there? I know F150 are not sold in…

From alcohol, I love: - drinking it: I really enjoy the feeling of just ingesting beer, wine or spirits, especially with friends or family - having a nice buzz from it. However, th…

Workday may be bad, but it has nothing on Taleo.

I personally love teams. I don't particularly like my job, and Teams is so buggy that I can blame it for all the miscommunication. Example: I've not responded to a message. Is it b…

A bit late, but maybe someone will read this. I live in Toronto and installed a heat pump this year. We've been through the worst of Winter, I believe, and although the cost ramps …

Why not consider non-intellectual work? Woodworking is a humbling and gratifying experience when it comes to "working harder for things and making incremental progress".

Working in France, I remember having to provide a "Scan of an original of Bank Account information slip" (approximate translation). It's just a number! That I could have copy/paste…

Late reply, sorry. They do, but it's nothing compared to what they make loaning money, which is their (and any banks) core business.

I sold a few piece of furniture on Marketplace, and had so many occurrences of "My employer is relocating me and I need to furnish my new place, I'll send movers to pick up the pie…

The infuriating part is how easy it apparently is to highjack dead people / inactive accounts, and use them for fraud. Case in point, I never use FB except for the marketplace ever…

RBC probably indulges in this as well. HSBC just has way more ties to Hong Kong and China than RBC does.

That's because they are one of the most global bank, therefore a prime choice when it comes to moving money from countries to countries. Most bank have a much smaller global footpr…

See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Countries_Study

He's not exactly new to the domain, now. One thing I appreciate with Taubes (having read his early books, not the more recent ones -- I really liked The case against sugar ), is th…

From all the diabetic I know, in France, Asia or North America, you're the only one I ever heard of with such recommendation. A friend of mine in France was actively advised _again…

I work in Fraud detection for a very large bank and deal with exactly that. Mind sharing which bank it is?

I feel Canadians get particularly shafted: lower wage, higher cost of life on essentials, stupid high rent in first tier city (where the jobs are!). On the wages only, I wonder wha…

This reads like a disguised ad for AirGradient, which pops up here every now and then. I fell for it because it claimed to be "open". Well, although it is definitely more "open" th…

Something like that actually happened to me: FedEx will not listen to you, not care, not even give you a way to raise such a request. If you persist in not paying, this will be sen…

I benefited from a similar program a year ago, and although I have no regret, I feel that some honesty might help other. First and foremost, the Canadian tech scene is nothing like…
