These examples reminded me one more issue: change in column selection, might change number of rows, which means column addition/removal is so much riskier afair. > Not if distinct is the default. If that works for you, great, but le

Performance implication exist, but it is secondary. Primary reason: distinct on every select shows either lack of knowledge of schema, in particular which columns make rows unique, or unfortunate schema design. (Apart from niche cases, sche

Its a matter of your eyes being used to this. If for ten years you always indented the code this way Void F() { Foo(); Bar(); Baz();} Then following snippet will seem hard to parse mentally: Void F()

Somewhat relevant. Estonia has a law that financial instutions should have servers located on Estonian soil. (Exactly for this kind of scenario)

This would be like learning everything from books vs learning by experience. (Can’t learn skiing from books. I talk from experience)

Interesting idea. But this would require no intermixing between groups.

Problem is that despots want power, whatever system you have you will get despots wanting to be at the top, and doing what is necessary to get there. Democracy at least moves them around a bit.

I’ve read something like: there are bunch of observations of extremely dense masses in various suroundings. Talented people can find explanations other than black holes in each case. But that feels adhoc, and black hole fits quite nicely fo

On its own, seeing ‘SQLException‘ in method signature, does not provide you with information: “this is part of bigger transaction, and you have ability and responsibility to retry or rollback”. That will be part of lib documentation, which

Yes, grep and nuclear reactor controller, and your gui grep are applications. They all use library for file reading. As author of file reading library you don’t know how critical is the failure to open a file or how it should be handled. My

“bad” might not be the right word. Maybe better “usefulness for current population of developers is very limited”.

Any chance you have a code/pseudo code example of this? My naive take on this would be “just use raii/closable”. (But easily and likely, I misunderstood)

> important failure that can't be dismissed But importance of the failure is determined completely by the program, not the library. Grep fails to open a file for reading -> message the user and exit Nuclear reactor controller fai

Possibly there should be emergency scenarios considered. Where government turns off video things (youtube and netflix) in case of major network degradation.

How do you ensure quality? Review and testing. Reviewing is easier when there is less code (i.e. libraries are in use)

Storing hydrogen is not the same as storing oil. Over time, hydrogen damages the tank. (Which is undesirable combo with “explosive gas when mixed with air”) I would like some breakthrough in material sciences here.

I must concede: 1000x increase in driver count is too far fetched. Though if forever growth is assumed, and goal post is moved to co2 total instead of per km, then some options exist to eat up that 1000x saving: Owning more than one vehicl

Lets say EV cut co2 emissions by factor of 100x for each km traveled. Lets say number of cars in total follows exponential progression, 5% growth per year. It follows that after 100 years due to growth co2 gets back to original level. (Log1
