Yes if the market goes up a lot you win. That's generally how leverage works. The problem is when it goes down. Or, if you're borrowing at high interest, doesn't go up quite as much. (Which leads to many people selling, which drives the price down, which leads to selling, and so on).
Apple was down 24% during Dec 2021-Dec 2022. It could have happened this year, could happen next year. Nobody knows.
By comparison, VOO was down 18% during that period. If you put money in Treasury bonds, you come out positive.
My point is that there is a reason behind many practical, reasonable financial advice instead of "cash advance at 20%, and if you are lucky, you could still be ahead".
The percentage share of personal domains doesn’t tell you everything. More and more consumers probably are buying personal domains just by the nature of it getting cheaper and easier to host and there being more people on the internet year over year. Could be proven wrong though because I don’t know how to get the numbers.
Here's one use case: while I don't use this particular GUI, it really does help when you have some columns containing RTL text such as Arabic and you want to browse through a table. RTL handling in most terminal emulators I've used is really lacking, though I can't blame them.
Not just in consoles. While RTL is solved for most cases, I generally avoid writing Arabic in code for example (hard-coded strings, regex, etc) and just use Unicode escape sequences. Some issues include ASCII punctuation appearing (visually) in the wrong order and very awkward text selection
One day I set out to resolve this, though I can not find in my notes' files what the solution was (for MySQL). It might have been to simply use MyCLI instead of the standard MySQL CLI. Have you tried it?
Lots of things! It gives you sqlite superpowers. It makes you more productive and saves you lots if time. You can edit several databases at the same time. And editing them is far easier. For example, it generates and executes the sql code to add new columns for you. You can edit the data of several rows directly on a query response, as if It was a spreadsheet, just by clicking on a column value (or you can use a column value editor). Super handy. You can view and edit blobs. The sql editor has autocompletition and you can execute a statement just by having the cursor on this statement, so you can quickly test multiple independent queries in a single editor window. It shows the execution times, so you can easely compare the speed of several query strategies. You can view the query optimizer info by clicking a button. It supports several scripting lenguajes, and the list goes on and on. Check the features here: https://sqlitestudio.pl/features/
I went from company F to company V, used Toad at F all the time. I was told at V that Toad was not approved nor money for it. So I bought my own copy. Within 6 months all of the DBA team owned copies of Toad, a few months later V bought it for Developers and paid back all the DBA team for their copies.
For example it has context-aware syntax autocompletion, easy D&D for tables between databases, and many more - you can see longer list at https://sqlitestudio.pl/features/
