Cheap bidet attachments only spray water, fancier models spray water and soap, and blow-dry your butt. Though, I guess the issue here is comparing bidet to no-bidet. The bidet is so much better than TP only, it is not even close. Instead o

Bidet attachments usually have a self-cleaning mode, ie you push a button and then it sprays water over the sprinkler. I bought mine off Amazon for like $40 and it does that. BTW I do clean mine now and then, and there is like, almost nothi

They do mention (but apparently do not recommend) that you can roll your own SSO. This is really about having SSO, not about Octa or Google.

Sounds great in theory. What we see in reality is that append-only database is unusable without making additional "projections" or whatever you call them, databases that are ready to be queried/updated, with maybe specific de

I have a startup, we have a nice new product -- and obviously, there are some product specifics ,so we have our own support team, that we train to learn the product, and be able to answer customer questions, and so on. If I hire Assembled

So, how does immutability matter if we deal with the database -- which is what holds the state, and is obviously mutable.

That's what minifiers/uglifiers do? Perhaps OP did not want to use them.

"SELECT NULL IS NOT DISTINCT FROM NULL" ?column? ---------- t That bothers me. It is like saying that "infinity" (+inf) equals other infinity. Which is just wrong. Some other SQL dialects will return "UNKNOW

Sure but you will still be paying property taxes, utilities bills, food and so on. It is not clear just how one would just "stop spending". Unless you want to spend your retirement foraging for food, sleeping under the bridge etc.

What are you going to do about it? a) just use parenthesis like everyone else, or b) turn the time back to 50 years ago and change that? Seriously, the article was just a rant. Yeah, people 50 years ago did something wrong. So what.

"simple systems have less downtime" That is not much of an insight. It is as insightful as saying "water is kinda wet.". Well... sure it is. What we need to deal with, is not "make a simplest system". Rather, w

Sure, but how much money could they make off of it? 17,000 theatres X some # of movie-goers per theatre per month, times 12 months a year, times $money a moviegoer would pay for moviefone ($1?) experience per go... looks like not much money

Is there a better way? Can we make gcc with less options, while still catering to all the use cases.

Interesting, I would like to know how you could turn quoted "17,000" screens into any amount of money that would matter to AOL - by buying MoviePhone. Most of the money go to studios... theatre operators rely on popcorn and soda

Above, there is a link to a report from Harvard Medical School, that claims otherwise. Maybe they are wrong, but a post on HN is not exactly a credible refutation.

Thanks... though I think it would be great to refer to original sources, rather than some random site that adds... what value? They do add Google Analytics/tracking, I would not consider that "added value".
