There is React Geiger which makes geiger counter noises on render [1].

Easy to tell when you have messed up and re-rendering tons unexpectedly.

What's interesting is that ripgrep now also powers VS Code search with a Node.js wrapper.

The SaaS offering came later. I used to run it on-prem a few years ago before the SaaS showed up and it was very low maintenance. More of a fire and forget situation once it was set up.

Why are the table and field names in the examples between Oracle and PostgreSQL different? It makes it harder to compare the two.

I would put each element from each set into a Disjoin-set data structure [1] and then report back all the sets whose elements all have cardinality 1.

The complexity of this data structure is pretty interesting. It basically comes to O(N) for N < any number that can be represented in the known universe. It's also the coolest use of the inverse ackermann function I've seen!

How to solve this on a distributed system I have no idea.

They seem to be using the same test suite as Zend PHP. Which would mean they should be pretty compatible.

Not sure how many of those they are actually passing though. https://github.com/hippyvm/hippyvm/tree/master/test_phpt/Zen...

That's the idea. Python uses the same syntax for multi-line strings as for comments.
