A vastly under-rated and under-appreciated art form, indeed.

High performance LIBOR fixing is more like it.

Of course, by the DoD's book invading sovereign nations for no particular reason, causing between 109,032 and 1,033,000 civilian and combatant deaths (depending on how you count[1]) wasn't an "ethical failure." It was just "bad policy", based on poor intelligence.

I find it confusing that RapGenius seems to be for rap, or at least music, or perhaps poetry... but books don't fit as well into their world.
Great to see them getting some publicity but they'll definitely need to make an effort to brand beyond 'rap' especially b/c it can elicit a negative connotation for a lot of people (like 'country')
That's the genius of it, you see.

This example is not secured against SQL injections but you can do it easily. Look at the documentation here: https://github.com/FRiCKLE/ngx_postgres/
Yeah but by the time we've taken care of injection issues (and handled all the other gotchas that haven't been articulated yet), we've written about as much boilerplate as we would for just about any other scripting language / framework, wouldn't we?
Don't get me wrong -- it's still a pretty neat idea. It's just there's that "other 90%" (i.e. the necessary work to create anything seriously production grade) that always comes to mind when evaluating a new interface.

Admit it, everyone: you're all just a little bit jealous.
