I learned so many words reading Calvin and Hobbes as a kid. Just off the top of my head: - "The pernicious poem place." - "Demonstrates defenestration." - The "salubrious" beats. - "Mainstream commercial nihilism can't be trusted?"

"A pair of pathetic peripatetics."

I see you had a ready retort. Nice!

I'm always curious why the default behavior of many server frameworks exposes so much information. I think it should just drop the connection by default for this error.

My wife and I aren’t having the greatest time reading them to our toddler (she’s probably too young for them, but she says she really likes them). Calvin’s parents don’t like him! I don’t like exposing her to parents who are resentful toward their kid. Also, shortly after he retired Bill Watterson ate at my dad’s restaurant. My dad recognized his name on the check, and told him how much of a fan I was. Bill then drew…

There are plenty of C&H strips that show his parents love him. This one comes to mind, but there are many others: https://i.redd.it/wgwm23u9k4sx.png Kids are not stupid and you don't need to insulate them from everything that isn't 100% happy, fluffy and wonderful. As a former kid who had loving parents and loved C&H, the only message I remember taking from the strip in this regard was that parents are people too and…

This strip is beautiful. As a parent living with snow on the ground in Ohio, I just lived this experience when my children asked me to go sled riding. Work will be there after they go to bed, but these years will be gone before I know it.

I know people who write like this[0] and are very sincere about their writing. One can be sincere about anything, even meaningless pretension. [0] https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1993/02/11

Yeah, I consider complaining about academic writing like this to be just as curmudgeonly. I remember when I first got access to a good university library and could read all the criticism written about books and authors I had read – knowing that people like Watterson, Gene Wolfe, or Victor Davis Hanson had tarred it – and I found the vast majority to actually be valid and insightful, giving me an expanded appreciation…

Not everyone has a sense of humor.

I'd assume they're optimizing for beginner developer UX, and assuming that anyone using mysql for something important will know to customize the error handling.

Quite possibly not optimised for heavy traffic.
