Are there any downsides to this? Why isn’t it default if it is so drastically better?

Sounds like both things are a problem?

Commute time of an hour each way is pretty common in London and also for those commuting to London. Hour and a half each way not uncommon also.

Do I really have to declare that something requires exceptions?
- Comment on Unison | A friendly, statically-typed, functional programming language from the future · Unison programming language 4 months ago:
Literally the opposite of friendly. Already in the hello world you have two imports for extremely basic functionality (why should I have to import the ability to throw exceptions??) and a completely enigmatic symbol ’ that apparently has a significant function.
A “friendly” programming language should be readable without knowing esoteric symbols.

- Comment on Is there a “proper“ way to say “6:05 AM”? 5 months ago:
I would say that it might sound a bit “technical”. Five past six is definitely the more common way of saying it

Or maybe people aren’t seeing as much music because ticket prices are high? It’s certainly that way for me.

- Comment on Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful. 6 months ago:
Haha, you got in there before I corrected my typo. The point still stands though! There’s a whole lot of people in the world, 80k doses is fuck all.

Even if R&D cost $100m for this, they’d still only need to sell roughly 8000 doses to make their money back.
- Comment on Ardour 8.0 is released 7 months ago:
There’s tonnes of free LV2 plugins. Not sure what distro you’re using but just search the repos for LV2 and ladspa (older but still some good ones), you’ll find plenty of great plugins.
I often combined hydrogen, renoise and ardour to create music using Jack to connect up and play in sync. The ability to route any audio to anywhere else is the kicker, so useful.
- Comment on Ardour 8.0 is released 7 months ago:
Yeah I’ve made lots of music with it in the past but not sample-based music. Calf plugins were always my favourite. Their reverb is just awesome.
- Comment on Ardour 8.0 is released 7 months ago:
Always nice to see a new release - anyone here making music with Ardour?

Try de-duplicating a table without an insertion timestamp field and without using a temporary table
- Comment on What is your favorite programming language? 7 months ago:
I would disagree, the simplicity of its syntax gives it a steep learning curve for doing anything that is not simple

I’ve literally never heard of this before. Are there any major projects which use this?
