If games work, why not gamify your idea? The printer and paper approach doesn't work well for people on the move. We need a pure online version that's accessible from everywhere: home, office, customer sites, vacation spots, and during commutes. Even better: add a voice interface too.

"Hey assistant, what do I have to do?"

"1. Send email to Bob"

"2. Clean your desktop"

"3. Read paper XYZ"

"...and more"

"OK assistant, set 1 as done"

"Congratulations, great job! You achieved the bronze badge this week by completing 70% of your tasks!"


Starting from zero saves memory. If I have a variable used as an index for an array of 256 elements, starting from 0 allows me to store it in a single byte. If I start from 1, I need two bytes, effectively doubling the memory usage—an unnecessary 100% increase. Now, multiply this inefficiency across every instance where programs encounter a similar situation.

Computer memory.


Artificial Intelligence will replace many jobs and business. So the race is on to become the main AI providers of the future. For the big players this is an opportunity and a necessity. The question is: - how long will this race last? - how long will NVIDIA be the main GPU provider and beneficiary of this race?

Predicting the future is very difficult, especially in an unprecedented revolution like this. As Nobel Prize winner Parisi said: "No matter how hard you try to predict the future, the future will surprise you"


I use cat a lot. It allows me to remember less switches of other commands, and simplify syntax of complex commands (pipes chain)

I treat cat as a stream-fier: given a file it creates a stream on stdout

BTW Is it true that the origin of cat name is that in slang to cat means to vomit ? (to vomit a file to stout) ? This is what I always known, but recently I read that cat stand for conCAT

I prefer cat as vomit....


here is the my version in XML + XSLT

Quickly Compare Data in Two Tables Using CHECKSUM and CHECKSUM_AGG

https://sqlundercover.com/2018/12/18/quickly-compare-data-in...


checksum and checksum_agg do not work for all data items, at least for SQL server "Noncomparable data types" for checksum and "null" for checksum_agg are show stopper.

Also, checksum/ checksum_agg do not seem like SQL standard functions. referring https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/features.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL:2023#New_features.


I remember casting some types to varbinary and then using fn_repl_hash_binary() to generate the hashes.

And by “remember” I mean I wrote it down here so that I wouldn’t have to - https://til.secretgeek.net/sql_server/bulk_comparison_with_h...


No lambda ?


not yet that is.


I suspect that global warming is growing at an exponential rate. It would surprise me if it weren't so. Every effect of global warming contributes to fueling it. If it is indeed exponential growth, expect the effects to double over the doubling time, probably in the order of years.


According to Erik Meijer TDD is not the way at all.
