> Compiler would eat them like donuts. Made me laugh out loud!

I reckon that while my programming has become more productive with LLMs, it has at the same time gotten a bit more frustrating and boring. I think it is difficult to know in advanc…

Changing screen sizes appears to be a very common theme for Apple. That way they can a few years later re-introduce the old screen sizes as the best invention since sliced bread. V…

Interesting. I will be curious to see how it stacks up against Jackson Smile, both in terms of features and performance. Since it appears to support both polymorphism and back-refe…

My preference is Altair: https://altair-viz.github.io/

While I think the paraphrased Jurassic Park quote can be very funny at times, I don't really agree with the statement. But I assume you were being sarcastic.

Am I one of the only developers who actually likes the CONNECT BY queries? Often I think they are a very succinct alternative to recursive CTEs.

My personal favorites are Altair (Python/VegaLite) and Observable Plot. The latter just released a new version with GeoJSON support.

I still didn't get it.

Would be interesting to see what GitHub Copilot makes of this.

I would have opted for Shocker ;-)

It lets you specify a list of terms which mustn't be further apart from each other than a given number of tokens.

I don't have experience with PG FTS, but I've used SQLite FTS5 and love it for its ease of use. Also I really like its NEAR() queries. I was a bit surprised that the post doesn't m…

100% agreed. Whenever I see something being promoted as "cheapest" I try to stay clear. Not only because you often get what you pay for, but also for reasons like the one you menti…

Is it possibly because the font should be monospaced and the reader might then mistake the distance before and after the "I" for a space?

There is this page about a free cluster [1]. It appears to be pretty beefy, but it seems like it is for one year only, but IMHO that isn't entirely clear. [1] https://docs.microsof…

I had the same initial reaction regarding the pipe character. But once I started thinking of the query as a pipe (like in the terminal) through which the data flows, where stuff li…

Out if necessity I've started working with Microsoft's Kusto Query Language [1] which is used by various services in Azure (e g. their Log Analytics Workspace). At first I found th…

Very well said! It appears like the other commenters deliberately try to misinterpret you. Consuming less is indeed one of the best things we can do. Instead of buying new cheap cl…

I thought that quote was from Pablo Picasso.

Since "database" and "relational model" is mentioned, I assume the collected data is indeed being written to an RDBMS. Would be interesting to be able to poke around in that with s…

jOOQ is an SQL library, which in addition to an internal SQL DSL for Java also includes other goodies like an SQL parser and since very recently (still under active development) al…
