I can confirm that you are completely right about Vietnam mobile networks. I could only reliably work after getting a real viettel sim. Even viettel branded stores sell some bootleg sim to tourists that work terribly.…
A waiter who doesn’t ensure that you know about such unexpected fee is doing a terrible job.
In Poland you can get basic tests once a year if you ask beforehand.
I sometimes use left join to protect me against errors somewhere else. Let’s say you do an inner join in insert into … select statement to find some other entity which 100% should be there. If something else is screwed…
Yes, I was a bit unclear, but that was my question exactly. I hoped that there is some trick I don’t yet know. Dropping and creating these massive views is my nightmare.
I haven't read the source code, but how does it handle materialized views? Views refer to source tables by relation id, not by name, so by default you end up with views pointing to old tables, which also means can't…
Maybe the difference is cultural/environmental? I live in Europe in a city with organic street layout and I find Ikea easy to navigate. Unlike typical grid layout store, I can remember location of every section because…
I had to use the CTE trick few times to solve same nasty query plan in Postgres. While it worked well for me I would still prefer query hints. They are explicit, so the intent is obvious: “Dear future developer/me mind…
Indeed, he definitely could do his protest in a way which wouldn’t inconvenience billion dollar companies or even anyone. Just like BLM could protest in a remote location or do an online petition. Except that no one…
The problem with sql is what happens when you fall off the SELECT FROM JOIN WHERE GROUP BY HAVING ORDER BY LIMIT cliff. The simple stuff in sql reads like English, but for that case ORM would generate a pretty efficient…
No, punishment is not unilateral, it’s right there in the word definition.
I love how you describe this as “pushing malware to random servers”. Maybe if he included a backdoor in previous versions and now dispatched infinite loop from his C&C server, sure. But he published a new version of his…
Well I can definitely blame them. It would be great if it worked both ways. Let’s say an employee who is forced to work unpaid overtime (two jobs amount) could use power imbalance to threaten the company into paying one…
So, which kind of female genital mutilation do you find acceptable, just the type 4, or more?
I have never tried AWS managed elasticsearch, but Azure Search doesn't have many knobs. Most of the time it's just instance size, replica and partition count. The downside is that the service is probably called "Azure…
I think that the problem is when you have a materialized view which takes hours to refresh. We are lucky that 99% of our traffic is during 7-19 on weekdays, so we can just refresh at night, but that won't work for…
Yeah, using revolut for that is ironic, fighting scummy companies with another scummy company. It is the only way to get disposable cards or sane conversion rates in many markets unfortunately.
> We need to be able to see each other in the eye. No, we don't, why would you think that? We never have camera on and work is going smoothly. Nobody ever suggested using it. I don't even know how the new hires look…
Who cares about the exact amount? We couldn't technically make it stop exactly at $150.00, but only at $167.89 or whatever, so we are letting it run to $15k. For catastrophic cases it doesn't matter. If it saves a…
Maybe they are not upset about not winning, but that a fun to play game is now no fun at all? If there is an imbalance/glitch which renders most of the game depth obsolete I'm not leaving because I'm salty, I'm going to…
Since you mentioned in a comment that your non-compete expired, maybe you are also no longer under any NDA. Can explain to a person outside of the startup world how this buy-and-kill works? If not killing a competitor,…
I had the same in Italy (Tuscany) with Google Maps. One way it recommended a longer normal road, on the way back it was a shorter dirt road through fields and forests. Had to stop once to let a fox cross the road (it…
Well, if you keep throwing impossible captchas at them, no wonder that normal users just close the tab, but bots and fraudsters keep trying.
I don't really get calling Confederates traitors. I get that they are the baddies in the whole civil war thing, but traitors? I assume that they had the right to secede and the war was inevitable anyway. Isn't the 4th…
I don't get why people care so much about predictions vs actual results in case of presidential elections in the US. The rules look like they were designed for maximum entertainment and sudden changes. The fact that you…
