Hello everyone, I have a list of about 1600 employees that I'd like to have displayed in a form. I'd like to make the "search" for the user as easy as possible. I ran across this: http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/filterlist/ filter that works quite well with small lists (on the site is a list of 20 names). It also works quite well in Firefox 1.5, but crawls in IE 6.

I think I'm seeing table-level lock contention in the following function when I have many different concurrent callers, each with mutually distinct values for $1. Is there a way to reimplement this function using select-for-update (or equivalent) in order to get a row-level lock (and thus less contention) while maintaining the function interface? The docs seem to suggest so, but it's not clear how to return the SETOF queued_item and also...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
