there's an extension called `pg_repack` (https://github.com/reorg/pg_repack) that already did this as a third-party solution.

It even goes a bit farther in that it doesn't just rebuild indexes but can also rewrite a table completely in any order you want - all while keeping the original table fully usable [1].

Compared to what's now coming as a built-in, there's one restriction though in that in order for repack to work, the table needs a unique key of some sort, but usually you have a synthesised primary key anyways.

It also once did a bad thing to a non-logged table with relation to having it be synced to the replica with no way of getting rid of the data again, though that might have been fixed since.

I have used pg_repack many times and it's both very useful and extremely reliable.

[1]: it will need to acquire two very short-lived exclusive locks (sub 0.1s) and you can tell it after how much time it should get impatient and just kill whatever's preventing it from acquiring that lock.
Badly! Some days I have to write off as a loss, I wake up on the wrong side of the bed and cant control my attention. Other days I have great focus and creativity where my mind considers a million options at ever step of cognition. Adderall has not really helped in reducing procrastinating, but it does work well as a kindle when I try to manually trigger hyperfocus.

But I agree, this is indeed what happened. Another similarly true explanation is, he used his imagination.

It's interesting to me how judging people based on heuristics is sometimes fine, even admirable, but other times it is Very Very Bad.

It's also funny how these types of ideas seem to offend people, judging by voting anyways. No looking behind the real curtain or something like that I suppose.

I stopped wearing a watch shortly after I started carrying a mobile phone (~1994) as the phone could tell me the time and date, and I had to keep it charged anyway. I didn't see the point of carry a redundant item such as a wristwatch. Even now I see 'smart' watches as nothing more than gimmicks.

Very belated edit:

I was in a hurry, and didn't say how habitat loss increases extinction rates from global warming. The issue is habitat fragmentation. We degrade/destroy habitat for other species through agriculture, forest modification and harvesting, urbanization, road building, etc. But that not only decreases the amount of high-quality habitats. It also fragments habitats.

Without global warming, habitat fragmentation hurts other species in various ways. At some point, fragments become too small to support viable populations for many species. Especially larger animals, for example. But overall, it's not a huge issue, relative to the amount of habitat loss itself.

However, with global warming, habitat fragmentation becomes a huge issue. As the planet warms, species tend to shift toward the poles, more or less, to stay in habitats that they're adapted to. But when habitats are fragmented, that can't happen. And so you end up with isolated populations on mountains, for example. Given that "up" ~ "away from the equator". And with further warming, there's no more up, so they die off. One mitigation is creating habitat corridors. Through cities and farmland. Across roads, using bridges or tunnels. You can see habitat bridges in I-78 in eastern New Jersey.

Another factor is the speed of anthropogenic global climate change. It's too fast now for evolutionary adaptation.
While this has some helpful pointers, I found it amusing that some points were relatively little work, while others contain enough to keep you busy for weeks - for example, comparing output redirection to network management.

Not a downvoter, but I assume the reason is that many people do understand these mechanisms without evicting too much from their brain cache.

Files like .bash_profile, .bash_login, .profile, .zprofile, /etc/profile, /etc/profile.d/whatever.sh all serve the same purpose, the primary aspect of which is to apply things like environment variables at login. Display managers and [login] shells source these things in a predictable precedence order so that environment variables are correctly inherited by children of GUI environment processes and login shells.

Login shells? Well yeah, the point of a login shell is that it invokes login-related tasks like setting environment variables from a profile. That's intentionally separate from the behavior of interactive shells because the environments of interactive shells may have been modified intentionally and shouldn't be "reset" to the values applied at login.

edit: also .inputrc is the readline configuration file for things like shortcut keys in all programs which use readline (not just bash) and .bashrc is for customizations specific to interactive shells

Bigger also means they can put more sensors onboard (though you can do quite a bit with Estes). But even the Shuttle SRBs used parachute recovery, although without popping the nose cone.

Biggest difference I can think of is that the SRBs had a gimballing nozzle. From photos on the project website, it looks like fins are fixed too. I don't know the law around it, but guess adding control surfaces would make this into a guided missile!

This is a brilliant idea whose time has come, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out.

I'm especially looking forward to seeing how it plays in the corporate arena; I'd love to see businesses that depend on open source every day (that is, all of them) throwing what is just pocket change to them at projects enabling their business. I hope you're planning on encouraging this behavior!
So, from a Fedora Project point of view, I'm not really sure how we could have done this better. This change was properly announced and publicized as https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/MergeDstatAndPerforma... and approved by FESCo (the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee) in August 2018 (https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1956).

The change page says "The original dstat utility has reached end of life - it does not support python3 and there are no plans to update it." This may not have been right after all, but I don't think it's in bad faith. Perhaps FESCo should have dug a little deeper, but there aren't really any particular red flags indicating that that's warranted.

I'm open to suggestions, though -- we do want to continually improve our processes, and we do want to work well with upstreams. And, y'know, be better to long-time Fedora ecosystem friends.
It's both. They make some serious outdoor gear, some more casual wear, it is high quality, but it's also Patagucci. I've seen people who take it on week long hikes (as you said, it's high end outdoor wear), and you see bros wearing it downtown.
There's a lot of stuff to dislike about the nuts and bolts of the GDPR. But I do wish that the U.S. would move in the general direction of protecting user data instead of the incredibly vague and stupid calls for "BREAK UP BIG TECH!"

All of the political stuff that's happening here blithely assumes that the problems with Apple, Google, and Facebook are pretty much the same and can be solved in the same way. There's a fundamental approach here of basically, "don't get too successful."

I'd rather see them approached specifically and recognize that they each present very different challenges. One of the biggest for ad-driven companies is that they're successful because of the way they use data. It's not really about how big they are. If you can regulate how people are allowed to make money off of user data effectively, that solves a huge part of the problem.

There's another part of the puzzle about what exactly it means to be an anti-competitive monopoly in the modern era, but I'm actually kind of okay with that being litigated for now. The system moves slowly, but it is moving. And for people saying the current system can't account for new technology, it's worth realizing that people do recognize the need for change, and the Supreme Court just recognized that old rules about how things work need to change.

Before I was diagnosed, I was most productive on green field development project where I could do the big picture stuff but had other detail oriented members on the team who could paint in the details. As well as when I was out freelancing on 6-mo or less engagements.

Lindzen doesn't dispute that CO2 warms the atmosphere! The vast majority of "skeptics" seem to think it's all a fraud, and that CO2 does nothing.

There is zero support for that position.

If you would like to debate the merits of Lindzen's views, feel free to do so: he thinks there will be less warming than existing models predict. He doesn't deny warming!

Meanwhile he retired in 2013, and as far as I can tell has produced no active research in this field since 2011. And his 2011 paper was widely panned including by reviewers he selected. He had to correct numerous errors in the paper. According to wikipedia, he eventually argued that at least 75% of predicted warming was happening.

So, a 25% margin off a catastrophic level of warming. And that's the very best name you can produce. And this info is all in the link you sent. And that's apart from the question of whether he was right in his argument in 2011, which is a factual answer we can measure with temperature sensors. (IIRC, warming has progressed faster than expected instead)

Contrary to your point, there is tremendous economic incentive to prove that fossil fuels are safe, cause us no trouble, and can continue to be used. Anyone who decisively proved that would be a hero, as fossil fuels are very useful indeed. The absence of such a person suggests that this view is mistaken.
Right - They tried dropping legacy compatibility before, and people are still upset 10+ years later.

For something as essential as strings, it makes sense to recommend the "new" way, and continue to support the "old" way.
"GOTO is an easy target due to its cultural notoriety (regardless of how it actually looked in the past), but the overarching argument is indeed against dogma."

I agree.

But I think it's worth pointing out that if we're going to use reluctance to use goto as an example of dogma, it strengthens the anti-dogma argument even more to point out that the dogma isn't even correct on its own terms; the goto that the dogma is rejecting historically isn't the same goto that exists today.

Under many dogmas lies a kernel of truth. That kernel can be worth extracting, and is often quite enlightening, unlike the dogma.
No they don't but thanks for proving my point.

And I don't need to google it I actually spent years looking at the material and methods. You on the other hand cause if you had you wouldn't claim things like 99% and you wouldn't actually believe consensus was science.

Not a single concrete piece of evidence for your position just claims.

Where is the scientifically demonstrated number that shows how much humans affect the climate?

"Google it".

Couldn't find it? Of course you can't cause we don't know what that number is because we haven't actually demonstrated it. Instead we are speculating that because we can't find other reasons and CO2 emissions correlate with the temperature increase then it must be that.

Yet how do you explain the 0.5 degree increase from late 1800- mid 1900 were we didn't do any significant CO2 emissions and how do you explain that the temperature haven't gotten up much more than the same 0.5 from the mid 1900?

Yes humans probably have some effect but we don't know how much.

If 100% agreed that it was humans caused that doesn't change anything unless they can scientifically demonstrate it which they can't.

All you have is namecalling. No science, no data just an attempt at bullying without anything to back you up.

I can back my beliefs up scientifically, you can't. Yet you call me the denier.
TBH I don't find jeans terribly comfortable and don't wear them very much. In my opinion--and maybe it's just because I'm used to it--the traditional Friday casual Khaki/Button-down shirt hits a sweet spot for office wear.
All air passengers are less safe, just so some people can be more comfortable? That is not optimal.

>I think the citext extension[1] already made much of this straightforward?

sort of. It was doing case-folding based on LC_CTYPE set at initdb time, so if you have data of different locales to deal with, it would only work for one locale and be (subtly) broken for others (Turkish comes to mind)

It's also based on glibc's interpretation of case-folding rather than what the Unicode consortium has agreed upon.

Depending on locale and tolerance to weirdness that can be anywhere between a non-issue and a show-stopper.

Case-folding is very tricky business.
Yeah... I'm not going to confuse a guy wearing an formal ascot for a visiting engineer.

> If you buy protective puts (for the collar), it would reset the long term capital gains clock on your long position.

Yes, this is true.

However, it doesn't force you to pay taxes at the higher rate, only to wait longer before the lower rate applies. Once you dispose of the put, the clock resets. But if you continue holding the stock for greater than a year, then the only issue is that your dividends may be taxed more.

On a large-cap name, one thing that some people do is to use a well-correlated index or competitor for the hedge.

In your lockup, I'm betting there were some restrictions on hedging anyway, which may have prevented you from buying puts at all.
You say “by definition”? By what definition??
No, it explains that any use of the original goto operator would break the formalization model. No current language has the goto model that Dijkstra was advocating against; he won. To put it in modern terms, the goto in question would be exposing to the programmer the raw "jmp" assembly instruction. No high level language does that.

Indeed the best way to understand what they can and can not do is precisely to understand that formalization model and understand when you can't do a certain thing because it breaks it.

Are these stats from these companies polling only full time employee's or contract workers too?

Google, Intel etc have very large workforce of contract workers which would sway their numbers. What are the stats for contract workers? How diverse is that workforce vs full time?

Diversity is a good thing and I'm all for it. Although when companies hire someone that lacks the skill-set for the job, but hires them anyways because they are black + a women over someone that is white with the exp and skills that is wrong. I've seen this scenario over and over again at the company I work for who is praised time and time again for having a diverse workforce. Ok I'm done </rant>

I think that whole article is a pretty shallow take, accusing Patreon of things that are not Patreon's fault (and I say this as someone who thinks Patreon is shady).

Yes, people who make some stuff that takes a lot of time and effort might not get a lot of money on Patreon. But you know what? They're doing what everybody else is doing.

I feel that nowadays everything want to think of themselves as "creators". They'll create a few photos, some drawings, put it out there, and expect to get paid.

Maybe it's just my 3rd-world-country upbringing, but I think that's a BS expectation. Real world living is tougher than that; the online public is already drowning in "creative" content, and producing more of the same is not going to give you an income.

Some of these people might be pretty talented, but that's not enough. If you're simply doing what everybody is doing and bringing nothing of actual value to your sponsors, there's not much you'll get back. Spending 16 hours a day doing basket weaving and posting it on YouTube is not worth much.

This is a similar picture of what happens on Twitch, or Instagram. Everybody thinks they can be a successful streamer, or an influencer. The reality is, just a tiny percentage of people make money doing that, either by sheer luck, some almighty external influence, or because of a niche interest they seem to fill. This is not Twitch, or Instagram's fault either.

I applaud GitHub because this is a way for people to almost passively support developers they want to. I know there's plenty of devs whom I've benefitted from their work. I'd loved to have a way to support them, even if just a little bit.

I don't think most devs would expect to become professional-code-warriors-for-sponsors. That's the wrong rabbit to _chase_. But having a bit of an extra income for a beer or tea or two on some OS project they work on is nice.
I'd pitch:

- it's all interactive and that's a productivity boost. Write a function, compile it (yes, compile function by function), see warnings or get a debugger on errors, try it right away. Same for web development. No process has to restart to test your changes.

- build a self-contained executable: a joy to deploy.

- strong typing, catches many common errors (and coming: an ML extension for CL: https://github.com/stylewarning/coalton, already used in a large Rigetti codebase)

- stable.

- fast

- take in every language feature you want with libraries

- parenthesis: they help to edit code by structure, by semantic units, instead of by line or characters.

- most flexible language. Like Python's decorators or context managers ? Yet they're limited and have their idiosyncrasies.

- unmatched object system, with generic functions that help maintain your logic small.

And there are libraries :] https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl
Because number is practically the same as double, and you can't just go and change double values to integer values. Also, doubles are fast. BigInts are not.
The difference here is that companies are already paying GitHub to host private repos, so it's part of their monthly payment flow. With simple nudges toward sponsorship, many companies will chuck in an extra few bucks toward the projects that they build their codebase on top of.

tbf I'm not sure the demands of a radical anarchist who wrote "The Right to Be Lazy" and quit practising medicine because he considered it quite useless are necessarily indicative of the practical feasibility of a 3 hour work day, then or now.

Which Surface Pro model is getting you all-day battery life? I had a SP3 (which, granted is pretty old now), and things like Chrome made it run so hot that the battery would run down to 0 in about 5-6 hours. Even with Firefox, it would run so hot that it'd become unusable in your hands as a tablet.

Looking up the specs of the SP6, it looks like it still weighs around 800g, which is nearly double that of the 11" iPad Pro. The SP3 had the same weight, and that hurt its usability as a tablet as well.
