I wrote a Windows utility for muting input devices while you type. Alpha version, but might help someone: https://github.com/drittich/stealth-notes/releases

It's not clear to me what you are asking. How can you derive a FROM clause from SELECT * ? Perhaps you could provide an example?

Possibly the first+N complete skeleton ever found. The first was over 160 years ago.

I think it is! There is an incredible amount of restraint and tension in that movie. It's in my top 2.

Similar experience here: I started early and played the game for a while, and years later with very little activity I'm still top 0.08%. My technique was to focus on speed. I wrote a tool to alert me to new questions and would often an

I loved del.icio.us back in the day. So much, that when it went down for a few days in 2003, I wrote a clone of it that I still use to this day, self-hosted. I also archive the text content of the page, which has saved me a few times. At th

This is a great answer. The details REALLY matter. One of my best early tech success stories was rewriting a SQL query that took 27 hours to one that took ~5 seconds. This was running on a very large Oracle cluster. They had poured more and

Came here to say this - I almost never think much of the code I wrote. But when I see a moment in time that I took the care to do something for future me, it's almost the same as looking at an old photo of myself, and thinking, 'H

Feynman is not known as the "Great Explainer" for nothing. It occurred to me recently that one of his great gifts was in setting the stage for the learning process. He had a knack for a visceral initial presentation of the subject

I believe it means the work needs delegation.

Thanks, I really appreciate the reply and hadn't thought about those side effects. I then thought "why not derive the identity type from an attribute on the identity property of the table class?", but then you have a dynamic

Thanks for reminding me about this, just taking a quick look at it now. Quick question: do you know why it uses methods like db.InsertWithInt32Identity(product) rather than db.InsertWithIdentity<int>(product) or similar?

A show-case for little-known or new open-source projects that gives them a little attention.

I think it's best to let the student decide what's fake. It's better to analyze how the same story can be presented in vastly different ways, or with a different emphasis to further an agenda, even if neither is fake. The sam

Same! I'm going to try to nail it down really exactly, but so far 8,236 is as close as I've got while on a conference call :)

I remember the natural language interface in Q&A by Symantec worked pretty well. I was using it in the very early 1990s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q%26A_(Symantec)

If you are on Windows there is QueryStorm, and it works amazingly well IMO.

As far as I can tell, he's mixing units (or scales?). Here's my version. At 95% certainty, you have 95 people saying "yes" and 5 people saying "no." At 99% certainty, you have 99 people saying "yes" a

I recognized this when I built my own X-effect app. For me the hardest part was simply getting started each time, so instead of "run 30 minutes", my goal was "put on your running shoes". It worked just fine because once

It's not even a thing that needs to be known specific to IPCC - this is a side effect of anything requiring consensus between many people, in this case thousands of scientists (and politicians?). For everyone (or the majority) to agree
