Better tell wikipedia: "The format indicates the first word starting with either case,' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case

Thats not particular to postgres, that's the same in Oracle (or any other db following ISO case handling I believe), just with true (quoted) table name being all uppercase instead …

Nah - camel's head can be tall just like the hump.

Here's an example I constructed after reading the TS docs [1] about flow-based type inference and thinking "that can't be right...". It yields no warnings or errors at compile stag…

full time cleaners aren't cheap either

I'm pretty sure the thunk would be tagged by the effects of the inner function, so couldn't be called from an external context not declaring those effects. That's what the effect t…

invented the relational model rather

i get triggered that the norm vars aren't ever really the norms but their squares

Unison looks like a neat functional language. Do abilities subsume the role of type classes also (without any "effects")? If so, would there be a loss of efficiency for using pure …

The vast majority of that time had neither modern humans nor anything like our civilization, so wouldn't really be relevant though. Hell at 600 million years ago there were just th…

some databases such as Oracle do not support boolean literals or boolean at all as a user accessible type

Great news!

One advantage or Powershell though is that in it you can put something into the pipeline from anywhere in your code, even within imperative code like in the middle a loop, just by …

Yes I believe this is often used as part of Oracle's APEX (Application Expresss) tool which has similar goals to Omnigres. It's used to put together internal business CRUD and repo…

It's not the saturation at the peak absorbtion frequencies that is driving the warming, it's the widening of the curves which raises absorbtion levels in nearby frequencies. The "s…

Good article, but I wouldn't characterize MERGE as strictly better than the older "ON CONFLICT ..." for Postgres, because MERGE doesn't support any sort of RETURNING clause.

I'd say it's JSX doing that because those attributes are clearly on the declarative/markup side of the divide, not the procedural/imperative dom manipulation side.

It seems general programming is more in focus now, but for context, the "Programming in Lean" book was only completed recently as compared to the multiple theorem proving documents…

Powershell is good, but one downside is that you have to explicitly check the exit code of each external program called and stop the script yourself for non-zero exit codes if that…

Similar thing noticed when visiting Korea as US natives. My wife was in a group that all headed off to the restroom at a restaurant just after getting a table, with a couple of in-…
