Dbeaver is the answer. It is good enough that I no longer miss pgadmin 3.

I've inadvertently become the pgadmin 3 "LTS" maintainer. A release of pgadmin 3 that was altered to support 10.x was previously provided by BigSQL. I forked it on GitHub to add TCP keepalive on client connections. At some point after that BigSQL removed the original repo. Apparently I was the only one that had forked it prior to removal, so now the few vestigial users in the world still using it are forking my fork. One has even patched it to work with 11.x, although they've offered no pull requests.

Putting thought into design patterns and a storage engine that accents that choice, it's sometimes possible to eschew caching and distributed storage altogether - saving you from a whole host of complexity.

It can also be challenging to accurately assess a database's performance and correctness. I've been using C/Rust bindings when possible for the former, and Aphyr's Jepsen test results for the latter. Unfortunately there's no silver bullet on these topics - you pretty much have to test all your use cases.
It is indeed different when businesses do play by the rules, and in that case I agree with you.

The problem I've noticed is that it is a slippery slope and often numbers given out for service notifications (such as the ones you describe) will "accidentally" start being used for marketing, of if there's no way to only enable service notifications while opting out of marketing.

We do have a law here in the UK about it as well but it is absolutely not enforced so a lot of businesses do it. I am not sure how well the law requiring opt-in is enforced in the US.

True, but it didn't really start to spike until around the march 22-28 bin and there are articles about this around that time, for example a quick google serach finds https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/coronav... from March 23

So this could easily be explained by people googling about the theory itself.

Locales that had the pandemic under control are seeing new flare-ups.

So either we lock down till a drug treatment is authorized (there are promising candidates), a vaccine is found or we accept that it’s unstoppable short of the above and we go about knowing the risks but while minimizing the known risks.
Small on-site server deployments still make a lot of sense in many cases. Not every business needs scaling so badly it has to make itself dependent on online services, and in many parts of the world "reliable, fast internet at every business location" is still not something you want to need.
Well the Chinese have been able to successfully contain the disease after a 60day lockdown so it shouldn't take more than that. Unless of course there's an agenda we're not aware of.
PostgreSQL is a great database, but pgAdmin (or any client I have tried) is just painful compared to SSMS.

And while SSMS certainly has some pain points, I have yet to find a DB client tool that even comes close in terms of usability. For this reason alone I prefer MS SQL.

I personally despise means testing. There has been so much hatred spewed over "welfare queen" that I am amazed we still do means testing and we have pulled it forward to things like the New York state Excelsior program (college education for first-time college students) and even for the $1,200 COVID-19 stimulus. It is very sad. We don't less means testing, not more.

You can join on arbitrary json fields, with indices. It is an extremely useful swiss army knife.

I've used jsonb for performing ETL in-database from REST APIs.

I know Concourse from 6.0 uses it for storing resource versions. They had an inputs selection algorithm that became stupidly faster because they can perform joins over JSON objects provided by 3rd-party extensions. Previously it was a nested loop in memory.

Hey thanks for the tips. I think stackdriver is really eating up a lot, will probably scratch that.

Unfortunately for them (and probably the health officials as well), the pandemic is not interested in ideas like "freedom" or "jobs" or "the economy".
It didn't sound like quitting to me, it was more like syncing the organization on paper with the reality. The team was one person and that person will continue what they do, only there's no reason to call it a team.
The problem is that public health officials are completely misusing terminology and sending contradictory messages, and it is 100% not the fault of Americans misunderstanding it (this is from the same article!):

> Public health experts have said the near-term goal is to flatten the epidemic curve of new cases

vs

> “We let things get out of hand,” said Mina, who is also associate medical director of clinical microbiology at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “So now the place that we’re left in is we have to absolutely beat this down with a hammer and get to near zero cases.

Getting near zero cases is not flattening the curve -- that's suppression! Flattening the curve is an assumption that everyone will eventually get the disease, and trying to not overload the health system. THAT is what Americans have gotten onboard for, and what a 2-4 week lockdown would set us up to do (give us time to expand hospital capacity, etc)

But if on the other hand, past the propaganda, the public health plan is ACTUALLY to eliminate the disease entirely, that's a completely different plan, and it will take months or years. It's not the fault of Americans for not understanding the implications, when they are being actively lied to about what the plan IS.
I lost my sense of smell and was very tired 3 weeks ago, but otherwise I had no symptoms. I'm super curious to find out whether I had it already, although my SO was asymptomatic in the same timeframe so it seems unlikely.
I was actually wondering about Christmas yesterday. I moved across the country a decade ago and go home for two weeks at Christmas each year. Assuming there is no vaccine by then (which seems to be the most likely case), I was wondering what was worse: 2 4+ hour flights and the airport time or taking the 3 days and 2 hotel stays to drive (or even sleeping in my car at a rest stop if that is even allowed). And that's all assuming there aren't travel restrictions in place in 8 months.
I think you need both. You're not going to get a documentation team to successfully write API docs for every nook and cranny of the codebase if those nook and crannies' respective coders are uninterested. But you're also not going to get a bunch of coders whose main job is extending the language to write the Rust Book on the side. To me good documentation means that both those things exist.
Similar to TrueLayer yes, more tailored to the local market in terms of bancarisation % and status of open banking regulation (not existent).

Maybe this helps to understand our authentication flow --> https://developers.belvo.co/docs/connect-widget

I totally agree with you. Trust is key. We work hand-in-hand with our partners to build this and educate the market as we grow. In general, all of our products, widgets, sdks, etc. are delivered completely white-label so that we can leverage the trust already existing between end-user and the fintech he/she is interacting with. We're also working with the regulator and other stakeholders to build and drive the education towards open banking for the market as a whole. It's a very long-term process :)
> I'm also skeptical of the idea that they make it harder for people with "real" intolerances - in the gluten example, there's been an explosion of GF foods, products, and menu signage ever since "gluten intolerance" became a familiar phrase.

Per celiac relatives, the gluten free "fad" has helped in the creation and availability of a lot more prepackaged foods in stores, but hurt in that a lot of restaurants don't take it fully seriously and do things in ways that result in cross-contamination, so there's more crap to wade through to find the truly safe gluten-free places at which to eat out.
> It's the fault of the American people for voting these morons into office.

Eh, not so much. Americans are forced to express their complex ideas and preferences through a system that consists of a handful of essentially binary choices. And most voters probably don't even strongly approve of any of the choices they're given.
> Maybe it's right at the 'sweet' spot between Rails magic and (often) Phoenix explicitness, while also being the kind of thing that I find myself least interested in 'grokking'?

Think you nailed it on the head! It's a chore, and there's a bit of implicitness / Rails-style magic involved. Not much mind you, but the implicit naming thing trips me up.
It's unlikely most Americans will tolerate a 5-6 month lockdown. Eventually quarantine violations will hit a tipping point and the transmission rate will jump, likely overwhelming our healthcare system.
People want to get paid. Most people will take most forms of payment if it gets them a sale that they wouldn't otherwise get. There's a cost, of course, to supporting different modes of payment, but if the increased business outweighs the cost, most businesses will take payment in that form. They're there to get paid, not to champion one method of payment.

I note, however, that in your first paragraph you dismiss the "one true payment system", and in your second, you pretty much advocate credit cards as that one true system.
Why would you want LDAP integration for a database? Maybe that kind of messed up requirement is part of the problem?

One of the bigger issues with places that have made themselves dependent on MS solutions is that MS software completely permeates the place. Then when the pain of going full MS is too big, they are only looking for drop in replacements of existing parts. This will never go well. MS software never plays well with alternatives.

If you have let yourself slide too far down the slippery slope of MS Office integrations and MS Sharepoints and the like, you will have to pay the MS price. Or you have to be willing to chuck out the entire lot.
An email is a paper trail.
Part of this is due to many institutions, companies, governments, etc, just closing 'for the next month or so'. Then after a few weeks, they extend it another month, and so on.

It seems like many expect the pandemic to just magically disappear when you do a very low-effort quarantine and sit back and relax for a bit.

Remember, this entire pandemic started from one person being infected. As long as there exists one person with this virus, it can start back up and easily scale to millions of cases all over again. Victory is not easy, and some of the main reasons we are doing quarantine are to learn a lot more about treatments, cures, how to cope with these changes to our supply chain, and many other things; that is, to buy us time. The levels of quarantine most countries are doing obviously slow the spread down, but are not sufficient enough to completely stop it. This is a long-term event and will be with us for a long time.
Who is 'they'?

And, no one thought masks didn't work; the guidance was "don't buy the masks that work because health professionals need them, and you can achieve the desired effect by keeping distance".

Now there is some thought that maybe, MAYBE the virus can stay airborne longer than thought (no proof of that; we have yet to see any infectious agent actually do that, even in a lab), and that maybe, MAYBE a non-medical mask can help a bit if that's the case, so sure, why the hell not, wear a mask, but not a medical grade one, please, we need those for our doctors and nurses.
Olfactory neurons are somewhat notable for their ability to regenerate.
Data augmentation will help prevent your model from overfitting a bit but the amount of useful information you get from naively augmented data will reach diminishing returns at some point.

Data augmentation alone (e.g. rotations / shift / crops / color perturbations / cutout... of a single photo of an husky dog) will never yield the added information that is contained in new pictures showing subtle variations of the phenomenom your are trying to model (e.g. a new photo of a Dalmatian dog if you have no Dalmatian dogs in your original training set).

South Korea and the US had the first reported case of corona on the same day. Both countries took polar opposite approaches. What’s most optimistic timeline for US to get handle on the covid to lift shelter in place rules? At least two months?
Last time I used M4 it was for a multi language system where I needed to substitute in PHP, shell scripts, apache conf files, etc.
So far, there's strong public support up here in Canada for the measures. According to polls, the great majority believe breaking the public health orders should be a crime, at least in serious cases. There may be period of time where the government still has a strong, popular mandate to enforce distancing, but there is increasing non-compliance and resistance.

Just the folks who start to snap mentally over the next weeks and months will be a serious and growing problem, even if everyone who stays mostly-rational wants to continue to maintain distancing.
In the UK I'm expecting restrictions and lockdowns till around October ish.
The system has choices, it's that people are herd animals and will outcast and ridicule anyone who doesn't fall into "a side".
Well that's complete bullshit, I'm sorry to say. The health care system in the US is by nearly any conceivable metric worse than most developed countries, some of them with a fraction of its healthcare spending. Such indicators include life expectancy, infant mortality, cost for the same procedures, number of bankruptcies due to medical costs per year, number of uninsured people, availability of expensive/experimental treatment...

Healthcare in the US is expensive because of reasons such as: identical medicine/equipment/procedures costing many times more in the US than to e.g. the NHS, because administrative costs made up 34% of total healthcare (pause a minute to consider how ludicrous this situation is), absolutely not because it is higher quality.

The idea that "the US is so rich that they focus on quality and convenience when other countries are trying to cut costs" is so ludicrous that to believe so requires a real detachment from the daily issues people face. Tens of millions of people are uninsured, tens of millions more are one broken leg away from having their savings wiped. How can anybody then say "they are so good they can afford to splurge"?
No worries, favorited again! Looking forward to using your product.
You'd be surprised how many people are already willing to let the death rate increase. The perception is that this virus mainly wipes out sick people and boomers. If there's one thing millennials hate, it's boomers.

I'm with you. Even if the 'shelter in place" restrictions get lifted, the economic fallout will last a while.

I'm highly skeptical of the "economy will just unpause" theory.
This is a dangerous attitude. Yes, leaders should be held accountable, and also people need to take responsibility for themselves and their communities by working together and rejecting poor leaders.

Placing all of the blame on others is how you end up with poor leaders in the first place as you follow people who share that same trait.

Problems I see with that... You'd need to cover from ELF up to FIR.

I would make the statement that NIR up through gamma/xrays is not being generated by the human body.

With that, we're looking at around 10THz of bandwidth for a full spectrum. At 8bit IQ acquisition, we're looking at 20TB/s... And if that's assuming you have ideal transmitters and receivers for the whole set of bands.

You want to also transmit to simulate if you find an area that seems to have a response. The test subject should feel something if that's the case.

Though they did seem to delay action, when they took it they went hard. Some of the US is past the point that China threw the brakes on, and the rest of the country continues to accelerate. We can't expect the timeline to align in any way.
If you would like to see some simple to parse Nim code and get a feel for what a "1 month of experience during weekends" Nim looks like, check out my project:

https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim

Nim is a very interesting language, with a lot of upsides. It just needs that killer framework to get the ball rolling and allow devs to solve business needs quickly. Once that's done I think Nim will grow a lot! Tiny binaries, static binaries, fast, low memory usage, macros, compiles to C.
Again, there has been no evidence that there has even been one community transmission by mail items. There is precious little information about how much surface relay of this or any other virus is much of a problem anyway.

Were you full Howard Hughes mysophobia before this came out?
I remember this quite well. As I recall from the news, the incident went roughly like this: Icelandic coast guard vessel approaches British trawler, orders it to stop and haul in the trawl. Trawler refuses. Coast guard fires warning shots. Trawler keeps going. Coast guard calls up the trawler, tells them to assemble all crew at the aft end, as they are going to fire on the bow. Crew moves aft, shots fired as promised. Now damaged trawler escorted to harbour. All very civilised.

I think it was after this incident that Iceland started figuring out how you can cut the trawl instead. Losing a trawl is a major loss; these things are expensive.
There's a large range of approaches between a heavy framework like React and vanilla DOM manipulations. jQuery is one such popular solution, and I don't see why such helpers should be completely avoided. Another (full disclosure: I'm the author) is: http://techlayer.com/espresso.js/
The ambiguity I was addressing was grammatical, not biological.

"now significant" could be a typo for "known significant", "non-significant", "no significant", "not significant", and possibly others, including not being a typo at all.

Likewise "significant" itself could mean different things in this context. E.g. phenotype neutral mutations can be highly informative when tracing origins, mutations in "non-coding" regions can have huge regulatory effects, etc.

I agree that your interpretation of the post to which I responded is plausible, but it's not the only one.
