@jmoiron @kaihendry It's pretty spartan. This in particular is due to the way the server prepares queries. Drivers do exist (psycopg2 in python, eg) that do local parameter substitution, and they have extended support to parameterizing this, but you're putting a lot of trust in the driv...

@jmoiron @kaihendry Unfortunately, table names aren't parameterizable; at least not consistently. "The arguments can only be used as data values, not as identifiers", see https://t.co/z64InhY5t4 .. I think this is consistent across many backends.

@jmoiron RT @spiffxp: Congrats to a bunch of dudes. You could at least hold yourself to the same standard you expect of panel submissions to your co…

@jmoiron @dgryski @francesc I swap around a lot, sometimes I want to relax and sometimes I want energy... absolute silence + wearing my headphones without any music playing at all is also on heavy rotation

@jmoiron @francesc lofi study girl, citypop, chillwave, futurefunk, chiptunes, anything johnny pate and most funk besides, and most types of jazz (wes montgomery, kenny burrell, django, miles, astrud & joão, ryo fukui, ...)

@jmoiron @elithrar @kisielk @golang I have those too, basically every time I get an email :)

@jmoiron @elithrar @kisielk @golang You and @kisielk have done an incredible job.

@jmoiron @dgryski @bmizerany NPM et al sure do look an awful lot like a grocery store.

@jmoiron 2.5 years later and I'm not sure we know any better https://t.co/FjKnqZmfSd https://t.co/D3cW3e9kip

@jmoiron @Sajma I'm a big fan of yujacha. It's the perfect weather for it at the moment, too.

@jmoiron @chimeracoder It's very Microsoft.

@jmoiron @davidcrawshaw Being able to 1_000_000 is a nice change for legibility, although where to put _'s won't cross cultures cleanly. I'll probably fail anything using hex floats in code review, assuming they'll ever even crop up.

@jmoiron Finally, hexidecimal floating point https://t.co/dvDtqjHs9Z I was starting to worry that I'd always be able to read numeric literals in my code.

@jmoiron @acoustik @pauldix Timescale's SQL is as good as it gets for timeseries in SQL, but I can't deny that at times it looks like a target language to me :) "... WINDOW w AS (ORDER BY time) ORDER BY 1"

@jmoiron @pauldix Def a big tradeoff. Extensions should compose with existing SQL semantics, and it's tempting to hastily implement "SELECT rate(x) FROM x EVERY 60s" and fail to make that connection. But without extensions simple queries can get very unwieldy, eg https://t.co/4DSNeTVrTV

@jmoiron SQL has been continuously extended since its creation, but this is a pretty common sentiment. I'm still in the "an extension of SQL for doing time range queries w/ aggregations is a good idea" camp... there's a blog post missing on this topic. https://t.co/XykwqBzly2

@jmoiron @wernerdrew you're gonna love "ramble on" now

@jmoiron @wernerdrew are you subtweeting me grandpa

@jmoiron If the documentation for your interface is not easy to write, the interface is probably not easy to use.

@jmoiron @chimeracoder As someone who came to the Beatles much later than Dylan, well into my 20s, my first listens to Beatles albums were full of "Oh, this is theirs?!"

@jmoiron @chimeracoder Joe Cocker's help from my friends is probably the cover that most transcends a Beatles original, a la Hendrix's watchtower. But numerically there are probably a lot of charting Beatles covers out there.

@jmoiron @chimeracoder The Beatles might be close.
