Is there anything PostgreSQL can't do?

Incidentally at work I find myself repeatedly having fun with MariaDB fans. They got started with something and never considered the alternative. Some of the responses to "yeah but what can it do that MySQL can't?"

* Parser errors instead of undefined behaviour (e.g. MySQL allows you to query non-aggregate functions that are not in the group by clause)
* Boolean type
* Window functions (MySQL has just caught up here)
* Functions/stored procedures/other languages (MySQL has some of this but on PostgreSQL it is nice)
* Less gotchas WRT transaction integrity
* Extensions!

I'm sure you guys can fill in the rest better than I can.

I'm really interested in the possibility of using CitusDB in our project but I just can't get enough information suitable for small-medium enterprise.

I get your point, but the bursars for those other colleges didn't seem to get the memo that they aren't MIT.

The thing is, MIT's tuition is fairly typical for a private university. If anything, MIT (and other elite private universities) offer better discounts than lower-ranked schools.

I think you and the parent are arguing the same thing... you're just coming to a different conclusion (whether this means that thinking rate is fixed or not.)

> You can argue that your thinking rate hasn't changed, you've just internalized some concepts and no longer have to actively think about them, but that seems like a disingenuous argument.

So the number of "chunks" may be fixed, but you are able to absorb and think about the text quicker.
The problem is that you’re only seeing angry developers and not the angry users frustrated that they can’t use autofill on sites that disable it for no real reason. Sites being able to change the behavior of the user-agent is almost always a bad thing.

autocomplete=off should just be removed and it be entirely up to the user-agent whether it gets used like reader mode.

Hello,
I'm a recent grad student and just acquired my security+ certification. I'm looking for a junior soc or system admin role.
Nice work! I recently got an LG Ultrafine 5K for my MBP M1. Definitely not as sleek as the iMac. Though the all black/rugged look is growing on me.
What does RUP have to do with APIs?
Honestly, I have it, realized over the years I’ve had it since a teenager and I don’t like it.

Subconsciously I keep females at a bit more distance than men. I’m less likely to have personal conversations with them. I watch myself at social situations mostly interacting with other males and less with females. At a bar I’m more likely to end up chatting to guys than girls.
I think there’s some subconscious fear of rejection mixed with an assumption that they’re not interested in talking to me, etc.

And please don’t assume “oh he falls in the asshole crowd” as I see sibling comments already are.

This is Northern Europe though.

I’m pretty convinced it exists around you as well, it’s not necessarily visible even to those subject to it.
Target Display kind of sucked in that you needed a fully functional installation of MacOS running the entire time too. It’s nice that the feature was there of course, but I never found it pleasant to use.
We are in agreement. As I mention elsewhere. It’s in poor taste. It relied on if not racist at least negative stereotypes to expose the bad stereotype and the assumed privilege that a type of person gets AIDS. Her company panicked.

If she been accused of murder they would have offered more sympathy. They’d have probably helped with a lawyer, etc. but here? Oh no, the mob singled you out. You’re on your own, bye now!
> My fears about being poor again drive my wife and kids crazy. They think I'm nuts and say I need counseling. I probably do.

Same with mine. I never travelled outside of Canada until my mid thirties because the notion of spending that kind of money (despite having it) seemed absurd. My kids lost opportunities because in the back of my mind, we’re constantly on the brink of homelessness. I have a seriously difficult time shaking this state of mind.

Something I’ve found useful is reminding myself that 1) I managed to survive and stay healthy despite how poor I was, and when things go wrong, there is typically a way forward. If something were to go wrong, it would likely be outside of my control. 2) my energy is better spent being moderate about money, otherwise relaxing about it, but then focusing my energy on immediate things which matter and are within my control. 3) most people I know carry and manage more debt that I’ve had in my entire lifetime. If I were to lose everything tomorrow, I’d still be ahead of them. I always exaggerate my risks.

Good luck.
Yes that’s fair. My experience may be biased regarding more conservative usage of words or ideas of what’s considered to be taboo.
I'm not defending his colleagues (or him), just responding to the GP comment's suggestion that ignoring the complaints of those under the drinking age might not be relevant.

It is ironic that so many developers are taking the time to complain on the bug tracker but won't simply write Chrome out of their org. I did that at a place and most of the users didn't even realize something had changed.

No developers seem to have a problem simply refusing to support Firefox. I wonder how much extra effort it is going to take for them to finally make the switch.
The SSD in these macs are soldered. So its not like you can just swap out the drive like other solid state drives.

I think thats also part of the problem. You have a device that wears out, but basically is unserviceable.

Yes, I agree the civil war was mostly about slavery from a geopolitical perspective - but it was not mostly about slavery for those involved.

Soldiers in the South were not going to kill the Yankees so that the 5% richest among them could keep slaves.

Have a look here [1]. This is a google image search for 'Confederate Recruiting Posters'.

There are dozens of images there and zero of them even mentions slavery. Not one.

This is a 'a war about slavery' and yet 'slavery' is not even mentioned as part of the motivation to get soldiers to actually fight?

Once one 'nation' is fighting with another, the call to duty is tribal: it's 'the south' (i.e. 'us' ) vs. 'the north' (i.e. 'them')

Finally - the 'Confederacy was about slavery' but the 'early US was not' is not a very strong argument if in factual reality both the early US and the Confederate were 'political movements ultimately based on slavery'.

I accept there is a difference, but I'm wary that the implied difference is meaningful at all: both Washington's America, and the Confederacy were states fundamentally dependent on slavery.

In that vein, it's reasonable to contemplate the Washington monument in a similar vein to how statues of the South are contextualized.

It's more than a little hypocritical to hold one monument in perhaps the highest moral regard, the literal 'centre point' of the nation ... while the others are broadly condemned.

From an outsiders perspective (I'm not American, but lived there for many years) - it's really obvious.

it’s not the only way.

Youtube has its content-id system.

And the library of congress has a copyright system for digital books as well.

A big difference is that NFTs do not come with any legal rights, outside of “owning” the NFT itself. You don’t own the underlying asset or the copyright, just the NFT of the asset.
I’m not sure, but this might be related to my issues whenever I used chrome, and it would auto fill hidden elements of settings forms in pfSense. All of a sudden you had changed stuff you didn’t mean to, or get seemingly weird errors about invalid input.

At least I could imagine this prop being applied to hidden elements, either in pfSense or internally in chrome.
But any new code that's being written just finds other ways to avoid autocomplete. Ignoring autocomplete=off makes the web a bit less standards compliant for a a very short temporary benefit.
Yes. Assuming this was done by the Lyra encoder directly, and not the person who wrote the blog post pushing the slider, you have to wonder how it would respond to an input with a peak around -3 dB. Would it clip? Is it performing some kind of normalization? Who knows!

It's also interesting that the Lyra clip is ever so slightly longer than the other two. The Opus clip has exactly the same number of samples as the reference. Maybe they didn't use a decoder for Lyra at all, just played the file on one system and recorded it using a line-in on another?
It's not black or white. You can have discussions with friends and family, in anonymous forums, in low-stakes social situations. Not at the workplace with sensitive colleagues, or in public on social media.

I suspect that he was also writing in large part for his colleagues at the NYT, who might be quite a bit more interested in the office/corporate/union politics angles that he spends a lot of time talking about. Obviously that's less interesting for those of us on the outside.

That the NYT employed the author for decades as a reporter helps me understand why its newsroom has been so well-regarded. He should just start a new newspaper. I'd subscribe.

> If you think something "feels false" but you have no evidence for it, that's not a particularly strong basis for reasoning.

We can’t determine that.

Whether it is a strong basis for reasoning depends on the person’s priors, which may be very strong.

Until we ask them about their priors, we simply don’t know.
Yes, asking them to put on a shirt would have been even worse and still sexualizing. Feeling entitled to say whatever sexist stuff you want at any time is a liability for anyone and is even worse for a reporter.

It's all well and good to point out the hypocrisy on this coming from the right; but that doesn't invalidate the issue. And you're right - it's pretty old, both on the right and the left. Here's a bona fide socialist ranting about leftist groupthink ... in 1943:

"But the same kind of veiled censorship also operates in books and periodicals, as well as in plays, films and radio. At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is ‘not done’ to say it, just as in mid-Victorian times it was ‘not done’ to mention trousers in the presence of a lady. Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness."

"Equity should operate just as much, if not more so, by boosting people up than by cutting people down."

This is central to the whole problem with this concept of "equity". If the implementation, as you say, _at all_ involves cutting someone down, then it's morally bankrupt. Who decides who gets cut down? Does the person being cut down have a voice? Are they told how they're supposed to feel about it? Is that not creating a newly marginalized group? This will lead to lots of division, and understandably so.

There's a lot of truth to the adage "two wrongs don't make a right". Equity seems to be about saying that everyone should have the same outcome, by force if necessary.

> It would be super neat if they added some sort of 3d image/video capture.

This is pretty much what a 'Portrait mode' photo is... it's the regular photo plus a depth mode. And on the iPhones with lidar, the depth map is way more accurate. There are various apps that let you visualise the photo in 3D (I've used Focos before).

Can be done in video too [0], but last I checked it would only stream at 320x240, probably because it's still rather compute-intensive. Don't know if that's improved on the lidar-possessing devices.

You might be able to find the quote better, but this is all I could see (p 170), memories are quite pliable, perhaps it's not there?

Note he's not even confirming he spoke to someone who would know if there was a 'large number of phone calls'.

> The scariest part is that there is no redemption. A picture or recording of you doing something reprehensible when you were 17 will be used against you years later

“Redemption” is not the same thing as “freedom from accountability due to having escaped accountability for a sufficiently long time”.

There is certainly an argument that for at least some forms of accounts one ought to have the latter as well as the former (hence statutes of limitations), but they are distinct and radically different concepts.
this is supercool. kudos! hopefully we start seeing more like this.

It’s not renewable, no. Exactly how much uranium is economical to extract isn’t clear, even before the last decade of tech development caused renewables to reduce to about 1/10th the price of nuclear.

My opinion is: keep any current reactors running while they’re in decent condition, but don’t bother trying to plan new reactors for electricity because PV is faster and cheaper to deploy even if you have to add LiIon batteries. (I’d be fine with making new reactors for big new cargo ships, but I believe someone tried something like that already and it didn’t work out).
I'm not saying you have to take Dustin's word for it or anything, but I think him being known to many here makes his tweet more likely to be upvoted than if it were posted by someone without a reputation.

That’s why people are asking for the reasons.

He’s exactly the kind of person you’d expect to be able to be able to give them, and frankly without them it doesn’t matter who is making the statement.

He has already partially walked it back, effectively invalidating the tweet.
Around 95% of the getenv() calls I have seen in my life use a string constant. So there's some hope for a static analysis tool for that much, at least when it comes to native/compiled binaries.
SEEKING WORK

Remote, looking for tough problems you can't find any developer for. I'm looking for "impossible" projects.
Parler is basically a direct clone of twitter's basic features. They use different names but have features similar to that of Twitter's tweet/like/retweet.

Gab's current iteration is a mastodon fork (although iirc they don't participate in the fediverse via activitypub). Gab is similar to Twitter like Parler but is less of a direct clone, offering other features Twitter doesn't have.

Gab has been along for longer and seems to be more popular. Both market to the (mostly American) far right, with their shtick being basically "you can say anything that is not directly illegal in the US without fear of being banned or other moderation". Gab seems to have been more competent in coming back up after bans from their hosting provider and other partners.
For context, the "apparent TOS violations" were him harassing the authors and a handful of other people.
"However there is a common assumption on this latency number. Is that you can divide it in half to get the time it takes to send data in one direction"

So you ssh the other end and ping in the other direction. I tend to use mtr instead.

Nowadays latency to internet services are within the sort of latencies we used to require on site. OK I do understand that not all internet connections are equal. I live in a fairly rural part of the UK - a small town of roughly 25,000 odd people. The UK is a fairly small country and fairly densely populated and quite rich, so in general: internets are fairly reasonable in comparison to the rest of the world. Not world beating but overall pretty decent.

If I ping say www.google.com (yes I know it's a funky address with random "distance") from home on my FTTC connection I see something like 15 to 20ms returns. I can ssh the office and use a 1GB link and get 8ms returns. My office PC is on the end of three 1GBs-1 hops in the building itself and it's a crappy old ex-customer hand me down (I run Arch Linux, I don't need whatever W10 requires). Both of those links are via the same ISP. My home PC test is via wifi!

I'm not going to bother going too much further with this now but if I was bothered (and I will be one day!), I would start my pinging n stuff at my internet facing router.

It wasn't that long ago that we (my company, about 10 years ago) accepted a condition of contract that required a site latency of 30ms end to end (ignoring hosts - the latency was directly measured without normal IT involvement.) 30ms!
Clue gets FDA clearance to launch a digital contraceptive
Time to get a usb to amiga disk drive emulator? I know they exist, and a quick google search turned one up.

I have a friend who got an fpga amiga emulator, and after about a month finally got the thing to do proper smooth scrolling on a modern LCD monitor. I'd heard him talk about demo scene scrolling, and I'd believed him, but seeing the same output on 2 different monitors, one with the proper low latency+variance that the amiga had, and the other not, and it was not even close, low frame rate on both too...

Anyways, I suspect a disk drive emulator will be easier to get working than on new amiga platforms, and these demos definitely exist out there.

My sense is that they're somewhat better than, say, AMD at keeping development work in the open instead of just throwing code over the wall. Hence the choice of "development model" instead of just "FOSS". It's a low bar though, IIRC a lot of ROCm is just periodic code dumps with no visible PR strategy.
