It’s not a cop-out to complain, but one has to remember that complaints only mean so much. McDonald’s isn’t becoming a Michelin Star restaurant because you complain its food isn’t fancy enough either. It not like there can only be one Podca

The complaint seems to be that Freaknomics and related Podcasts, which are created for the sake of entertainment, are not the peer-reviewed journals he wishes they were.

I think it is fair to say that large cities are more likely to cater to those who are unique, but large cities return to the same problem again: Everything is far away and you have to get into vehicle (granted, it might be a publicly operat

Rural areas tend to have strong social communities, though, despite all of those same, if not exacerbated, conditions. Based on several adjacent discussions it seems not that the suburbs cause isolation, but that those who prefer to live in

Roads have been around for several hundred years or more, along with public transportation (trains were commonplace in rural areas in the past), and the car has been the primary mode of transportation for about a century. After all that tim

What makes that different from rural areas, where social communities thrive?

by randomdata 2y ago
How does that meaningly differ from rural homes, which do not have the isolation problem? Rural areas have the strongest social communities I have ever seen.

Active record traditionally depends on ORM, but cannot implement it. ORM exists at a lower layer of abstraction.

1. SQL has tables, not relations... 2. I may be misinterpreting you, but you seem to be talking about composition of data, while the rest of us are talking about the composition of the language. But, hopefully I've misinterpreted you.
229.
by randomdata 2y ago
You seem to be thinking of query builders. I would posit that they are still useful in many real-world scenarios because SQL still stupidly does not support composition. Maybe some day it will catch up with the 1950s, but until that day...

I expect the parent meant to write R instead of O. It is misleading as nobody ever maps relational databases. As the parent points out, usually they reach for tablational databases. This project also supports a key/value database. But

Hinton has become a household name, at least here in Canada. But only within recent years as his discoveries have now proven useful in capital creation. Nobody knew who he was in the 1980s when his discoveries were "useless". Whic

Well, let's put it to the test. What "useless" scientific discovery has given someone a household name in recent years?

Some schools would consider their ideas capital. But, regardless, if what they did wasn't useful in the development of capital, nobody would have cared. It is their contributions to capital development that have made them household nam
