Care to elaborate ? Why did it ruin their lives ?


Across two people: Hair loss, hernias and one obstructed bowel.


I've used CTE's in DB2 for hierarchical data using recursive SQL (8 ? years ago) and the performace was much better than using subselects.

I don't know much about Postgres, but for some things CTEs are a good tool.


are you the three.js "maintainer" ? My code breaks every time I update three.js I would be fine with that if the release notes would point that out directly. It's really a nice library but it would be great if he handled the project a little bit more "enterprisey"

Sorry - I had to vent.


Bummer. Know what enterprises have, though?


> it would be great if he handled the project a little bit more "enterprisey"

What, charge you for a LTS version? :)


Your frustration is justified. I think it's the responsibility of the maintainer who bumps the major version to include a checklist of things to do to upgrade to the new major version.


There are some players who are not necessarily the best athletes on the team, but can excel with better instincts or a better way to analyze the game.

But in the NFL the level of athleticism is so high - obviously there aren't any bad athletes in there.

If you know exactly where to run beats running (a little) faster.


I've started playing flag football after playing football 10 years ago. I've stopped playing football because I tore my ACL in both of my knees.

Beeing a defensive end / outside linebacker I can say that the bigger positions don't really translate to flag football. You can't really block other people without real contact. We are playing 5 on 5 - but I can't imagine how contact less football would work 11 on 11.

I enjoy playing some flag football, because it's a nice workout and some of the aspects of football are in (different coverages, beating routes...)


I have a friend with pretty big health problems (gout and other problems). I don't know if it is because of gout or any other disease, but he says he shouldn't drink acidic drinks. He cut Coca Cola and is drinking now Red Bull Cola.

I don't like Red Bull Cola and think it is a pretty poor substitute - but he enjoys it.


What's wrong with water?


Exactly!

When I was a kid in the 1970s we had pop on Friday nights a 750ml bottle and a large bag of potato chips shared between my family of four.

Now you see people who drink pop for every meal and for a snack between meals and a huge drink at that 750ml or even a liter for one person is normal. People complain about HFCS and acid, weight gain as if their human rights were being violated! Well excuse me for pointing out the elephant in the room people but stop drinking so much pop! It's a dessert like cake or a candy bar it's not a substitute for water.

In my province for many years cans were banned and all pop came in 355ml bottles, sure you could buy a 750ml but it was a big heavy glass bottle. There weren't any big 2 liter bottles and nothing larger than 355ml for single-serve size. Then one day the ban was lifted and cans were allowed but cans were not put in the pop machine 600ml single-serve plastic bottles were. At first people couldn't drink it all and the break room fridge was full of 1/2 filled bottles of pop, then slowly people learned to drink a full 600ml bottle in one sitting.


It fills you up and offers no nutrition, making it harder to eat enough calories in one day.


At least in my neck of the woods, people seem to have the opposite problem. (i.e. too many calories in their diet) Water is probably a good choice for them.


I think replacing one soft-drink with another similar won't solve many things.

Unless there's a specific component in Coke that increases Uric Acid (the cause of gout)


Thank you - I always looked down to Foobar2000 (it looked to basic for). But now I've downloaded it and it looks great !

Thank you for the tip. The facet plugin is great - exactly what I wanted.


But if they were professionals didn't they use SAN (or at least NAS) for this ?

Don't get USB hard disks old pretty quick ? (and the performance with GByte LAN is much bigger). So it's just a single LAN cable ?


I suppose it depends whether you consider Pro and Enterprise to be synonymous. I don't think they are.

Anyway, what kind of high end Mac user ever bothered with USB drives, when you could use Firewire and have double the throughput with no CPU overhead?


I am testing a Samsung 700t (pretty much the same form factor) and it's horrible. The keyboard is nice, but the big problem is that it's very unstable. It's always dropping back. Especially if you are trying to use the touch screen. I had to tape the pen into it's closure otherwise it fell off the whole time.

When I've tried to update the device to Windows 8.1 the WLAN driver refused to work and I had to update it from another computer.

Using it as a tablet is okay, but it's very heavy and big.

I hope the Surface Pro is better - but the Samsung is really underwhelming. I'd rather buy a small desktop or a tablet.


That's strange the only browser I got problems with downloading files is Chrome. Sometimes it takes a long time between clicking the download and seeing any visual clue from chrome that it started the download.
