You need to learn to adapt to the real world where most things are not deterministic. Go and learn.

I already know that. That's why we have deterministic algorithms, to simplify that complexity. You have much to learn, witty answers mean nothing here, particularly empty witty answers, which are no better than jokes. Maybe stand-up comedy is your call in life.

That may be true, but do you not want determinism where possible, especially within this context, i.e. filtering data?

Is your argument that the world isn't deterministic and so we should also apply nondeterminism to filtering json data?

And people say C++ is dead and everything must be done in Electron because developers are expensive and computers are cheap.

This here, is the reason performance matters and fast development time is not always the answer if the competition is strong and their product is high quality.

(Rust and friends are also good solutions.)

Hear, hear!

There are countless good audio players now.

I am using Amberol, it looks just amazing in a modern desktop and plays my FLAC collection.

About using the command line... I just type open musicfile.flac and it works. Opening another file adds it to the reproduction queue.

Because every single database vendor will try to lock down their users to their DBMS.

Oracle is a prime example of this. Stored procedures are the place to put all business logic according to Oracle documentation.

This caused backslash from escaping developers who then declared business logic should never be inside the database. To avoid vendor lock-in.

There's no ideal solution, just tradeoffs.

I mean, that already happens. It's quite rare to see someone migrate from one database to another. Even if they stuck to pure SQL for everything, it's still a pretty daunting process as Postgres SQL and MSSQL won't be the same thing.

> It's quite rare to see someone migrate from one database to another.

I'm not discounting the level of effort involved, but I think the reason you don't see this often is because it is rare that simply changing DBMS systems is beneficial in and of itself.

And even if it was frictionless (ie: if we had discovered ORM Samarkanda), the real choices are so limited that even if you did it regularly, you would soon run out of DBMSs to try.

It would obviously be beneficial to go from super expensive to free (Postgres). But no one does - why? Because sql is just a veneer over otherwise two completely different things.

I migrated a database with some stored procedures from MSSQL Server to Oracle. Then lots of logic was added as stored procedures to the database. Then I migrated the same system to MySQL. Including the SP. Doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

I run DoubleCommander when I really need a file manager :)

We all should do our part to move to IPv6, the sooner, the better.

This is not about cost. It is about the fundamental nature of LLMs.

There are several human activities where allucinations can cost lives. We can't use LLMs for everything.

I have RGB keyboard, video card, and speakers.

Not by choice, they just came that way and it is unimportant enough that I don't see it as something positive or negative.

I set up everything to a single flat orange-amber hue. I plan to switch everything to a green hue during summer.

It certainly helps to set certain mood.

I don't really care about that. Just for fun, and because I can, sometimes I edit huge SQL files using multiple cursors, meaning they are much bigger than just some KBs. Hundreds of cursors, all working at the same time, it is wonderful.

Well, here in BG it is hard to find French wine. There's plenty of Italian, Spanish, Chilean and Argentinian wine.

And also a healthy percent of local Bulgarian wine.
