This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but kbin generally requires its users to be either unaware it is written in PHP or OK with using something written in PHP. That has to exert some selective pressure.

Annoyingly, the article never said what it tasted like.

Exchange rates are a bitch

Car-independent livable cities.

I am both a (T-)SQL expert and a language design enthusiast. IMO, SQL the language is mediocre in its grammar and extremely resistant to cleanliness. Once you get past that, the things you can actually do with it are extremely useful.

I'd love for a better syntax to exist, but it's a Herculean task to make one. Modern SQL dialects have gargantuan, labyrinthine grammars, and they grow with each new product version. It's a lot easier to keep adding to that than to build a feature-complete replacement. This is also the reason why most ORMs are so frustratingly limiting: it's too much work to support the advanced features of one SQL dialect, let alone multiple.

Well, I don’t, because mine is for ripping threads. Use the right tool for the job.

Not sure why this got downvoted. It totally tracks. The current VR and AI fads aren't even the first times we've had fads on those subjects. Yes, we will get some new tech of varying utility out of each fad, but the overhype is real.

Actually, it's a logical fallacy.

Prigo was definitely not against the war.

Whataboutism detected.

Sounds like it’s time for me to start investigating a move to a different cross-platform chat app. The enshitification continues.

Dang. In wildfire season here in western Canada, my air filter gets brought out well before the 100 mark.

I like Framework and pre-ordered a F16 as soon as I heard pre-orders were open.

I think it was in the building that includes Pappa Roti.

If you kill the health care system, maybe they won’t.

Thanks.

Just heard of this service but I am signing up first thing tomorrow.

This service sounds perfect for me.

EDIT: Just finished the thread. In bed and the sleep-promoting substances are kicking in, but I set a reminder to sign up tomorrow.

As a PowerShell expert, I can confirm it is suuuper verbose and yet cryptic. It’s a real shell, much better than it’s predecessor, but still with plenty of bad decisions in its design and implementation. My theory is that they only watched a 1-hour presentation on Bash before spending a weekend designing PowerShell.

Damn, this thread just got me to install Edge for a better Teams experience.
