It felt unusual at first that they attached semantics to (white spaces and tabs as) non-printable characters. On the other hand other n.p.- characters like line feeds always had a meaning (I.e. within multi line strings).

Why do they wait in line for one guy? It’s just a select and there should be multiple employees at the counter, or not?

“You are the number 1111 (base 255) for me.” isn’t even a backhanded compliment any more, or is it?

It doesn’t hurt to know the basic commands to insert, copy, paste with vim. But with bim, handling the tool always consumed a too big percentage of my attention in respect to doing the task at hand. I still use it for small file changes.

Oracle happened to OpenOffice.

Ah. It makes sense now. Thanks.

Why update before select? Shouldn’t it be the other way around? (I’m clueless. )

Uncached server side rendered response times in double digit milliseconds.

Thirst thought, that sounds slow. But for the use case of delivering html over the Internet it is fast enough.

Careful. Mrs. Cake might get a terrible headache if you don’t ask the question she answered.
