Nice project and cool to see JavaScript embedded with SQL this way, never seen it before. Just wondering how it ended up like this syntax wise and what exactly is going on here?

SELECT js_create_scalar('function_name', 'function_code');

Really cool project! Thanks for sharing.

Wasn't the main issue here that the airport authority had put an obstacle in an area that was supposed to be an obstacle-free zone?

It was changed in 737-400. Before it only took air from the right engine, but 737-400 took from both. In the Kegworth air disaster, which was caused by a failed blade and the system causing a fire trying to compensate by injection of more fuel, the pilot assumed the fire was in right engine and turned it off as crew never notified them which engine was burning. When they discovered the error the speed was too low to kickstart the engine.

Yea, it will probably never end as Palestines have a right according to international law to attack Israel as they are occupied by them. Even if Hamas disappear as an organisation the resistance part will continue and there will probably never be peace until Palestines get the country they were promised and the illegal settlements are removed.

It's a great client and used it for years. But I have some issues. Sometimes the cursor disappear and ctrl-enter stops working. Anyone experienced something similar and know what it could be? I run on a rather minimalistic UI environment and might lack some desktop festures.

Egypt has said that if people are displaced it will put the peace agreement with Israel at risk. It's understandable that they do want 2 million more people to feed and the problems will just move to Sinai as among those 2 millions many will also support Hamas.

Its also not true that Egyptians hate Palestines. In fact I would say its rather unison that they feel great sympathy with the Palestines in the occupied areas, and the boycott of companies that support Israel is strong. McDonald's and Burger Kings are mostly empty and there are Palestine flags at shops, stickers attached to products you buy and people are sad about the situation.

Its obvious that it gets worse as there are more scumbags who can pay $10 on a criminal fakenude site than scumbags who can use Photoshop.

You are right, but for a project like this, with a name like this, it's rather artful and hacky. Nothing wrong in breaking the rules if you know what you are doing.

One other appealing alternative for smaller startups is to run Docker on one burstable vm. This is a simple setup and allows you to go beyond the cpu limits and also scale up the vm.

Might be other alternatives than using Docker so if anyone has tips for something simpler or easier to maintain, appreciate a comment.
