AllSides correctly lists The Guardian as 'Left'. By adding 'far' to your characterization I can only assume you wish to advertise your own biases and / or denigrate the publication. It is a reputable newspaper with a long history of journalism awards - an appropriate example being this: https://www.theguardian.com/gnm-press-office/2023/jun/23/gua...

Left on all sides is far left. It’s as left as their categorization goes. Unless you also agree that breitbart is not far right just because it is classified as right.

I do agree. AllSides does not reference 'far' on any of their ratings [1] and I see no value in introducing it as a pejorative term.

The fact that the current administration and its supporters have managed to categorize The Guardian in this manner speaks volumes about their goals wrt any media that attempts to hold them to account.

Pascal's book [1] highlights various issues with the language & is worth reading if you are not familiar with it.

Example:

select * from customers c inner join orders o on o.order_id = c.customer_id

Legal syntax but clearly incorrect.

Do you mean “incorrect” in the sense that comparing a customer_id to an order_id is semantic nonsense?

I agree, and I do wish SQL had stronger typing so the parser could warn you before your query silently runs off the rails. For example, in Oracle, I believe the following is legal, but I wish it wasn’t:

   select * 
   from my tab 
   where 1 = ‘1’
