Any recommendation for a prettifier / SQL linter?

+1, strongly. Anybody selling meditation as a silver bullet is deluded or selling something.

I unplugged my AirGradient a couple days ago. It's quite the useless piece. The CO2 sensor does not read CO2 levels, and recalibrates automagically. I have completely wacky readings from it, from 200ppm to 2000ppm. The VOC sensor also

edit: none of this seem to be true, big-ass pickup trucks are just not popular in Europe. Isn't it for Australia only? Are those models even sold there? I know F150 are not sold in Europe because (I think) they're not road legal,

From alcohol, I love: - drinking it: I really enjoy the feeling of just ingesting beer, wine or spirits, especially with friends or family - having a nice buzz from it. However, those two things are, for me, incompatible. If I start drinkin

I personally love teams. I don't particularly like my job, and Teams is so buggy that I can blame it for all the miscommunication. Example: I've not responded to a message. Is it because I was away for 2 hours, or is because Teams

A bit late, but maybe someone will read this. I live in Toronto and installed a heat pump this year. We've been through the worst of Winter, I believe, and although the cost ramps up on the coldest days, the heat pump worked perfectly

Why not consider non-intellectual work? Woodworking is a humbling and gratifying experience when it comes to "working harder for things and making incremental progress".

Working in France, I remember having to provide a "Scan of an original of Bank Account information slip" (approximate translation). It's just a number! That I could have copy/pasted in an email to make sure the secretary

Late reply, sorry. They do, but it's nothing compared to what they make loaning money, which is their (and any banks) core business.

I sold a few piece of furniture on Marketplace, and had so many occurrences of "My employer is relocating me and I need to furnish my new place, I'll send movers to pick up the piece". Looking at the seller profile, it's

The infuriating part is how easy it apparently is to highjack dead people / inactive accounts, and use them for fraud. Case in point, I never use FB except for the marketplace every now and then. I naturally forgot my login/passwo

RBC probably indulges in this as well. HSBC just has way more ties to Hong Kong and China than RBC does.

That's because they are one of the most global bank, therefore a prime choice when it comes to moving money from countries to countries. Most bank have a much smaller global footprint and can't be used as such. Banks don't be

He's not exactly new to the domain, now. One thing I appreciate with Taubes (having read his early books, not the more recent ones -- I really liked The case against sugar ), is that he has an epistemologically correct approach to the

From all the diabetic I know, in France, Asia or North America, you're the only one I ever heard of with such recommendation. A friend of mine in France was actively advised _against_ a low-carb diet to control her diabetes. She did it

I feel Canadians get particularly shafted: lower wage, higher cost of life on essentials, stupid high rent in first tier city (where the jobs are!). On the wages only, I wonder what justifies that Canadians make so little in comparison to t

This reads like a disguised ad for AirGradient, which pops up here every now and then. I fell for it because it claimed to be "open". Well, although it is definitely more "open" than most, it feels like an afterthought.

Something like that actually happened to me: FedEx will not listen to you, not care, not even give you a way to raise such a request. If you persist in not paying, this will be sent to debt collection. If you persist in not paying, your cre

I benefited from a similar program a year ago, and although I have no regret, I feel that some honesty might help other. First and foremost, the Canadian tech scene is nothing like the US, Europe, or Asia where I'm coming from. Tech jo

Hong Kong uses grey water for flushing toilets, and I never had a problem. Each building has its own tank (I believe, to pump the water and maintain a correct water pressure) that needs to be washed every now and then, but that's the s

I've been attending this for a few month, and it is properly excellent. Very much an opportunity to geek out with other nerds around some food and beverage, that I am looking forward to every Mondays.

Reading the article, I thought that it was not relevant to compare carbon footprint per unit of mass, and I was pleased to see it was addressed in the last section. However, the way it's addressed feels even more disingenuous: they rem
