  • Builtin hashes (Score:2)

    • My point is that they appear to get excited over non-features, like the syntax for a PL/SQL block.

      We used to take a vacation out west every summer, camping most of the time, but stopping every few days in a hotel to clean up and reconnect with civilization.
