Quote: So there is no way for a user to define the type of an arbitrary json value:
enum Json {
Null,
Bool(bool),
Number(Number),
String(String),
Array(Vec<Value>),
Object(Map<String, Value>),
}
This point made me really question it, because what is to keep you from putting a field for each type into the table? Of course, you would have to use an auxiliary table to store the vector, but it still wouldn't be that hard to model. (The Map would be a bit awkward because you would have to manually keep track of Value somehow, unless I am overlooking something.) And later he wanted SQL to create windows and store their states? Huh? Why?

Think of a function as a black box. It takes an input, and spits back out an output. Don't we all want to know what's in the box?

He blabbers on too much (hire an editor!) but makes a valid point. Been there, done that. Sometimes wondering what idiot came up with the name and then remembering it was me. But also remembering that it started as the named function, but I later determined that what was originally a multi-step process could be made a single-step. And the name didn't change because the team lead would get upset about commits with nothing but name changes.
(Slight exaggeration since I document functions, not just because it's good for other devs, but I have a memory like a sieve.)

Just wait until you see how much the “Against SQL” guy needs an editor.  Some people think they’re paid by the pound. (And yes, I admit I didn’t real all-all of it)

I gave up on that article as well.
Much of what he writes seems to prove some lack of knowledge / experience with SQL, imho.

Microsoft's bug bounty payments have flattened out but still remain large. I'm assuming less than they would have paid testers?

And I assume they don't pay all of the submited bugs... if not, there would probably be less "yet another unpatched issue" published

The currency is meant to get students to try sitting on a professor's eco-friendly toilet. So, no change?
Granted, their actual headline is a little bit more "risqué" than I'm sure Chris would like. For that, I apologize in advance.
I also was told that the blurb actually works in two ways. I kind of like it when that happens.

. . . and lest we overlook the background story.
I a world of no Q/C on physical merchandise (aside from the end user), and critical thinking about information received from dubious sources, such as social media, has evaporated, it's perfectly natural that software quality expectations have dropped as well. So - anyone can do it - who'd even notice. ?

Windows 11 looks to be a decent upgrade, but not one to lose sleep over missing. You mean it's almost like an early Alpha build?
Or like regular Windows?

The basic idea here is to start with real code that you wrote and then remove irrelevant details to make it into a self-contained example instead of coming up with examples out of thin air. You mean "Hello world" isn't real code?
