I've been battling with locking down my kid's devices for much of my life. I haven't found a parental control feature that works: we've tried several, but, generally, nothing survives the 'Hey, I'll just factor

I haven't kept aware of changes to Java in the last decade, but the things I didn't like about it then were: 1. The overall architecture (with the JVM) made it slower than the equivalent C# code. 2. C# really started embracing mod

Ok, but the brief README links to an actual microsoft.com domain ( https://www.microsoft.com/store ). Why would you need a package to wrap a website? Wouldn't the website be accessible on a LTSC build, even if the offic

I agreed with a lot in the article, but I was a bit baffled by the DEI name-drop in the opening. > "... the guys who had big tech startup successes in the 90s and early aughts think that 'DEI' is the cause of all their pr

I hate to be that guy , but I believe the `|>` syntax started with F# before Elixir picked it up. (No disagreements with your post, just want to give credit where it's due. I'm also a big fan of the syntax)

Totally disagree, I've used KQL for about 10 years now, and SQL for 20. Given the choice, I'll always prefer KQL. Sorry, I don't have time for a thorough rebuttal of all the topics mentioned in the link you provided, but if I

It's a great site, but I don't think many of the listings could be properly categorized as old-growth. For example, I checked out a few samples: "The oldest trees are estimated to be over 200 years old." https:/&

To be clear, I don't find SQL difficult to understand. I've used it for 20+ years and I can always get the query to generate my desired output. But I often find that the language is a hindrance, and that I can more efficiently re

I view SQL right now similar to the way I viewed C++ in early 2000s: I hate it, but there's little point in complaining because it's so ubiquitous. More robust criticism is provided here ( https://carlineng.com/?pos

I used SQL in various implementations for about 15 years. I didn't find much fault in it until I started using KQL (the language which seems to have inspired Pql). The difference in enjoyability is stark: I truly hate SQL now. More rob
