I had been working on a really cool map viewer tool for Windows 3.1. It had a C backend doing the rendering and map file parsing (Intergraph design files, PITA to parse), and a VB3 UI. It was a huge improvement on existing tools for viewing IGDS files at the time. I saw it demo'd on stage at a MS dev conference in front of Steve Balmer. Basically peak of my career. In 1994. After that I quit the job, for no good reason. Moved across the country, and did next to nothing for a couple years. And I regret that decision every day since.

Ah. Didn’t know that

Possible conflict with the name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_(programming_language)

But has he had a chance to breed? Don’t want that line continuing....

One data point: As a Canadian, I rarely have cash in my pocket. I can go months at a time without handling cash. Mainly I encounter it these days when I buy & sell stuff privately (via Used.ca or Facebook or whatever). Otherwise I basically use Visa/Apple Pay for everything.

Cool cards. What's not cool is $50 shipping on $5 cards. To Canada...

I'm just gonna say I liked the orange icon. It is different than the other icons in my task switcher, which on a Mac, are predominantly blue.

Anyone besides me disturbed that one of the code samples had function that took 3 parameters, 2 of which where 'O' and 'D'? I had to look at it a few times before I realized those were different variables.

As a Canadian, I haven't signed my name on credit card receipts in years, like the past 10 at least. The only time I do that is when I visit the States.

Not sure if it would fit your needs, but I've used this with success when trying to do useful things with CSVs: http://csvkit.readthedocs.io/en/1.0.2/tutorial.html

It makes me sad that organizations like the BC Gov't bend and over and take whatever crap Oracle decides to throw at them. The amount of money and developer effort that is spent on Oracle is staggering. All because 'no one gets fired for choosing Oracle'. They are blight on the industry.

Meh. It's interesting because it's long. Nothing else of interest in the layout.

Check out the JS code behind this.. Oh the humanity!

Has anyone called James Randi yet?

Seems if the query is always going to start with SELECT, that maybe it should be assumed? I would never use this though, ack or find seem sufficient to me.
