Don’t your clients need their own connection pools anyways? Eg if the webserver isn’t pooling connections itself, that’s a problem regardless.

It’s not like you can’t test your script on another file first. If it works fine on a 1GB file with 300K lines, why wouldn’t it then work on the real file? What would you do when the next time this happens it’s 300B lines from a 1PB file?

Interesting, seems pretty similar to an Executive Summary which also would have been very useful here.

grift: noun, a petty or small-scale swindle. graft: noun, a shoot or twig inserted into a slit on the trunk or stem of a living plant, from which it receives sap. Edit: Ugh nevermind I found more definitions of graft. Google only showed the

Betas being available doesn’t solve the problem because you can’t submit updates compiled using beta versions.

The opening question here pre-supposes he was concerned. Unless the prior discussion had Gates explicitly saying he was concerned (which I assume it didn’t based on Gates asking about a document using the term), then it makes complete sense

I've literally never seen somebody catch a SQLException and do nothing with it - you quickly learn that just doesn't work, and it would never pass a code review. With respect to exposing implementation details: If the caller is th

quicksort kind of proves that the names don't have to be particularly meaningful, just somewhat descriptive and unique. It's not like mergesort isn't quick.

No, but the grocery store can choose to not sell any product which does this.
281.
by zeroimpl 6y ago
That’s not the same thing at all. I’m saying that you bought the product from a grocery store, and the product itself contains information discouraging you from continuing to buy from the grocery store. In the app case, you bought an IAP fr

If I buy a box of cookies from a grocery store for $3, should I expect a note in the box which says I can buy them directly from the manufacturer for only $2?

What great features do Android users get as a result of being able to sideload apps which aren’t available on the App Store? I believe the (weak) answer to the above is the answer to your question. Features are what matters to the majority

by zeroimpl 6y ago
The “legitimate websites” that disrespect privacy and security almost always do that in a way transparent to the user (ignoring the cookie prompts, but I don’t think that’s a fair comparison). For example, news websites could try and access

The only websites which would force you are: - legitimate websites using this feature for valid purposes, such as to control devices on your local network - targeted malware attacks trying to hack devices on your local network I’m certain w

I routinely operate on machines with gigabytes of memory, but rarely write pipelines which output gigabytes of data, so this has never been a concern for me. But even then, there’s still swap space which is effectively like using a temp fil

What on earth are you talking about? My response was based on the OP suggesting the account closure was based purely on the App Store policy violation. I’m pretty sure it’s based on more than that, such as the fact that Epic is suing them i

They are also being sued by Epic. Would you keep doing business with a company suing you?

Apache is also preinstalled. I use it to host some PHP scripts on my local network. The annoying thing is that every OS upgrade causes all the configuration files to get reset so I need to fix it every time. But it's just small enough

The idea of being able to update multiple tables in a single query this way is intriguing to me! But I like the fact that the Postgresql syntax makes it crystal clear which table is being updated.
291.
by zeroimpl 6y ago
I wonder if they could just make this syntax work in Postgres: UPDATE inventory SET quantity = inventory.quantity - daily.amt FROM (SELECT sum(quantity) AS amt, itemId FROM sales GROUP BY 2) daily USING( itemId );

Employees paying might make sense if the employees were paid on some sort of commission basis. Then it’s in the employees personal interest to find ways to make themselves more efficient so as to maximize their own income. But for a salarie

I would prefer if businesses didn’t sell products at a loss. It just leads to dumb situations all over the place.

I’ve never used Perl but I periodically mistake eq and = in bash scripts. It’s quite annoying since there’s no obvious indication that one is for numbers and one is for strings.

Were the files listed when going to http://server.com ? No, the user had to: 1. Find the server via nmap 2. Guess at some URLs until the server finally responded with some hidden data. While neither of those would require being a

It's a fictitious example. I didn't say there was no weapon, nor said it was definitely theft. The point is that submitting a GET request in a public setting does not mean no crime. Coercion can be the difference between asking f

by zeroimpl 6y ago
That’s a very weak argument. If I’m walking down the street at night and somebody comes up to me and says “GET /money”, I may respond with an HTTP 200, but that doesn’t mean the person didn’t just steal from me.

It really depends. If I’m building a Java project, I’m pretty sure I’ve got a deterministic build just by running javac pointed at a source directory. If I want a reproducible build, I probably need to do a lot more: - ensure timestamps of

Software can be patched by hackers too, which is why you need hardware solutions for security in some cases. How will your software solution guarantee that the code running is what you think it is?
