I've only used them while using certain frameworks to dynamically generate queries referencing multiple tables. They end up getting turned into an implicit inner join though. The f…

I mean yes, but also no. I was skeptical that I could get into the game after reading about it, but I played the free demo [1] and got hooked. After "beating" it about 80 hours in …

JetBrains does a pretty good job making this a bit less painful. They have a license server you install that dishes out floating licenses to IDEs. Floating licenses are released af…
