Regarding "real fruit", how much sweeter is a tomato, an orange, or an apple today compared to past centuries?
Haven't most if not all of the commonly available (popular) fruits today been refined through selective breeding to be more appealing to us? What was lost vs. gained in this process?
(I have no idea, I'm not trying to be rhetorical. My guess is lots of more sweetness and perhaps less fiber, in a much larger fruit.)
Yeah I know, it is the lowest effort. But I'm not running it on my main system. Worst case I'll have to reinstall (unless it messes with the hardware, firmware changes for example).
I found this talk by Christophe Pettus [1] very informative. The title is somewhat misleading as most of the talk has little to do with Python, but it's a good introduction to more advanced Postgres concepts. Also available in PDF form [2].
Websites are one thing. It really gets annoying when different applications in an operating system "can't agree" on what to use. I've seen both in Debian/Gnome apps, but that's kind of to be expected from (F)OSS software as rules for UI are less strict/not very well defined.
The asc/desc triangles bugs me too.
Arrows would indicate order (⬆︎ = rising, lowest to highest).
Triangles aren't arrows and should IMO be the reversed, like a pyramid (▲ = ascending, smallest on top).
I just noticed HN uses triangles as arrows for upvotes, whereas Reddit has the arrows.
Wasn't aware of it using DB2, not that I care much what it is as long as it works. As you probably know having worked on it it's an application platform too, which is mostly what we use it for. Sadly, none of my colleagues has the time to develop any apps for it and I only dabble around in high level languages, so everyone just uses the blank office template and creates documents with tables and stuff. But the search is great, and the save conflict management keeps some of the IT-related headaches away. I wish there was a self-hosted web app equivalent though as the UI for editing is similar to Ms Office, thus easy for Average Joe to grasp. The drag-drop storage of files inside documents is nifty.
