I know nothing about writing an image editor or graphics programming but maybe someone here can fill me in - would it be more or less difficult ("would it take more or less tokens" is probably the right question to ask these days)

Does visiting pages A and B on day 1 and visiting page A on day 2 also make the sentence true? I think that's the source of ambiguity (or maybe it's ambiguous to me only because English is not my native language).

I was responding to the person mentioning 100km/h as the correct answer (firstlink).

I think you are thinking about a case where someone goes 120km/h for 1 hour and then 80km/h for 1 hour instead of going over a fixed distance at 120km/h and then going over the same distance at 80km/h.

It's true though. Relational algebra is a very nice abstraction but SQL as a language is subpar to say the least. SQL is really unergonomic, it's difficult to reuse SQL code which is why there are no SQL libraries worth talking ab
