It's even worse than implicit casting, if the value can't be cast to the the column's type, it's just inserted without casting. Eg. into an integer column, '10' -> 10 and '1O' -> '1O' (hint: latter is uppercase o)
An intuitive motivation for the solution in the article (2n choose n). For an n*n grid you have to you will take 2n steps, n "over" and n "down". All that matters is the order of the steps. So if you think of there…

The question is where are all the new apps or features that are _written_ using LLMs, since everyone is 100x more productive now.

I was skeptical about the claim that 80% of soldiers refuse to fire their weapons, so I did a little reading and it seems like the original source has been pretty much debunked. This 2011 article sums it up:…
Corruption is crime but not all crime is corruption. Stealing copper isn't corruption.
Overall I agree with the approach, but just wondering, why do the first point if you are already doing the last two? > * Use the issue id at the start of every commit message for that issue > * Use a single branch per…
> programmers who don't care about code quality and thus brutally reject code that is not of exceptional quality. Is there a typo here? If they don't care about code why would they reject code based on quality?

You don't need to worry about traffic or parking when you take a leisurely stroll to the store.

Really fun. The undo/redo functionality is much appreciated.

FL Studio (fka Fruity Loops) uses this layout, or something very close to it.
Yeah and (1) the codegen produces massive headers that slow compilation of anything that touches them (2) the generated classes are really awkward to use. Not a big fan of the experience of protobuffer generated code in…

Interesting! On the guitar when alternate tunings are used, the pitches are written as they sound. I wonder if maybe the difference is due to the fact that alternate fingerings are very common for guitar (because of…
Your calculations are off unless it's assumed each employee eats an entire pizza. Not to mention bulk discount.
I don't know but you're a little behind the times. Kids these days don't have Boomer parents.
That's not a good analogy. Mostly shows you don't understand the problem being solved. It's not "faking" an analog system within a digital system. (If anything, that's what a full digital DJ set up is.) It's an adapter…
Your use of "illusion" and "pretend" seem a bit dismissive or cynical. It's just a vinyl interface to a digital set up. The alternative (when using digital music) is a digital controller which also tries to mimic vinyl,…
