    With latest c# iteration, instead of x != null, one can write x is not null. Meh, I initially thought. But then I tried to override the == and != operators and then.. I understood! :-D

              C# is a language developing faster than other similar languages, by absorbing good ideas from other languages including python. I hope they'll implement embedding from golang (the only good feature of golang worth mentioning AFAIK). In general, with once and if dotnet interactive sufficiently matures, it might very well replace Python as the most used language for scientific computing.

                I was thinking Sql Server T-Sql. When checking for null you need to use WHERE A.SomeColumn IS NOT NULL

                      the best thing for bloating is a good fart or two. I wonder if there is a way to make software fart.

                          Well, The boards you play around with are simply too weak to do much of anything but read sensors. I can't find anything I want to use in the IoT world. Any suggestions? I have about a dozen Arm SBC I do get some use out of some of those for NAS, DNS and time servers. My next purchase will be a SiFive RISC-V board[^] just to get early exposure to the instruction set.

                                  Check out the ESP32 WROVER, but honestly? In Jan. Espressif is officially releasing the ESP32-S3 which is a monster. It has a ton of GPIO, like the ARM boards. It has a USB port you can program to be anything you want (like a USB HID device), it has at least 2MB of PSRAM, and 512kB of SRAM, 300kB or so of which is effectively available for user stuff. The CPU is dual core, at up to 240mhz. The SPI tops out at either 40MHz, or 80Mhz, I forget. If nothing else, I know one of the busses is tappable at 80Mhz but you're sharing it with the PSRAM I think, and you have to be careful how you use it. There might be a totally free 80MHz SPI bus now, I haven't looked into it. But even 40Mhz will drive a small display, and there are enough pins to drive an 8-bit parallel with plenty of pins left over if you need something faster. You can program it in micropython or the ESP-IDF using C or C++. Arduino support is coming, maybe by the time they officially ship. I have a reference board, but I'm not using it because the toolchain is still very preliminary.

                                      As a student, I didn't have much money. I was living with a girl then, and we had to cut down on everything - she insisted that we couldn't even spend any money on beer. Jeeez ... being a student with no beer?? But I was obedient. Then one day she came home having bought makeup for $98.50. I got really mad: You will not allow me even a single beer, and then you go out and spend almost a hundred dollars on makeup! (This is long ago and $100 was a lot more buying power than today.) Of course she started crying: The makeup was so that I would look pretty to you ... I made a deep sigh: But ... That's what I had the beer for! I never saw her again.
