Today i learned how to work from home and earn money through internet...!**

    This one surprised me. UNIX-y systems have cat(1), as many of us know:

    cat file.txt file2.txt > combined.txt

    I was surprised by this on Windows, though:

    copy *.csv combined.csv

    Did everyone else just know that and I'm only learning 20 years later? 😃

      I didn't know about that (or if I did I long forgot it); I use a port of cat on Windows.

      Today I learned

      $foo = 'hello world!';
$foo = ucwords($foo);    
      
echo $foo;

      Today I learned

      $a = [1, 2, 3];
$b = [4, 5, 6];
$c = [...$a, ...$b];

var_dump($c);

      But that doesn't work if the arrays have string keys.

      Reminds me that yesterday I learned that in Ruby you can do:

      $ irb
2.4.0 :001 > test = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
 => ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
2.4.0 :002 > test - ['c']
 => ["a", "b", "d"]

          Today I learnt e.preventDefault stops checkbox from being checked....why didn't I know that?

            TIL (okay, a couple days ago) that there is a json_agg() function in PostgreSQL.

            SELECT
  r.review_id,
  r.review_timestamp,
  json_agg(a.*) AS answers
FROM $schema.review r
INNER JOIN $schema.answer a ON a.review_id = r.review_id
WHERE -- stuff
GROUP BY review_id, review_timestamp

            Now I get just one row returned for each relevant review, and each row contains a JSON string with all the answers associated with that review. 🙂

              $schema.answer

              Not sure why my brain is expecting a ? or :schema.answer there

              We use Postgres's "schemas" to separate each client's data -- functionally similar to having them each in their own database, except they're not. 🙂 That query was actually extracted from the PHP code that builds the query (and simplified and anonymized here), so $schema would actually be replaced with the relevant schema name for the client being processed, e.g FROM client_foo.review r, and then processed with $pdo->prepare().

                This saddened me a bit. Watched "You Only Live Twice" and "Thunderball" this weekend in his honor. Wish I had a copy of "Robin and Marian", the chemistry he had with Audrey Hepburn was amazing. And I might be a fan indeed as I don't even hate Zardoz TOO much.

                Finally, pretty good compilation of the early Bond themes: https://youtu.be/J4jdUhxOz0M

                  Zardoz is fun if not taken seriously. 🙂

                  "The Man Who Would Be King" is pretty darned good. He and Michael Caine make a great pair in it.

                    TIL that the film 'Lawrence of Arabia' had its world premiere 10 years closer to the start of the Great War than to the current day.

                      sneakyimp you might not like what else ol' Zardoz has to say...

                      You sound like my wife 😆

                      Remember, at the end Connery comes to find out that part ain't true after all ... 😄
