Jeff is right, PostgreSQL has released a new major yearly the last almost 25 years.
Part of the point is that people can build this stuff themselves. Like, adding 4-6 USB ports onto this thing would be a weekend project if you already own a 3D printer. Bluetooth mouse one can probably be done with an off-the-shelf Alibaba kit, the Ethernet module exists already, and all 4 ports are serial by-default (but you could still add a SCSI port if you insist on being a villain).

Though I agree, for a device that's trying to cater to both Thinkpad and Macbook users alike, they're seemingly allergic to all the stupid things people actually pay big money for on those machines.
Huh??? You have definitely never been to downtown Denver then.

I'm a big supporter of legalized pot, but I agree with GP. In downtown Denver, everything smells of weed, and a large percentage of people seem like they're stoned out of their minds. I'm not even saying there is a solution here, or even necessarily a real problem. I haven't, for example, seen any of these stoned-out-of-their mind people get violent, as I have with drunks.

But that said, there was a noticeable change in Denver when legalization passed, and, at least in public spaces, it wasn't good. Walking around in public where so many people are f'd up, and it's not like a bar or something, is a pretty sad experience.
It can't be done with pot, apparently, because it isn't being done. If there's any movement to reign in public pot usage I am not seeing it. I think people just immediately resigned to having the entire planet smell like a skunk forever.

Illinois legalized it a couple years ago, and the legislature seemed very concerned with maximizing revenue from taxation and licensing and gave zero consideration to anything else.
Did they fix discovery? I love the concept, but my issue was that I had to connect to people to find people, and the only network I could reach easily was largely people I really didn't want to talk to. I think "Rooms" were supposed to fix it, but they didn't exist yet when I tried it.
Innumeracy? Sure there's tons of innumeracy in the world, but the measures of inflation are so obviously manipulated to indicate low inflation. Really the only accurate way to get a sense of inflation is expansion of the money supply - they can't really lie about that. Everything else is a measure that, in one way or another, incentivizes politicians and economists to lie about their own performance, prowess and power.

Inflation too high before an election? Change the basket of goods. Substitute quality meat for some highly-processed, highly-subsidized puck of corn/soy garbage.

Another thing that even the supposed numerate geniuses among us frequently ignore: inflation compounds!
You're essentially promoting the old "bringing them down from the inside" defense, which next to "I was only following orders" is the biggest lie we tell ourselves in order to sleep better
So you're in support of it as long as it's only done by people who aren't poor, since they almost certainly don't have a private space where they can use it without running afoul of building rules. And things that are a nuisance to you are a crime. I'm not sure this is the support the legalization movement was looking for.
I wish they outlawed all advertisement for pot stores and any visual indications of the business. Should be a blank building with shut doors and windows blacked out. I don’t want kids to even be aware the places exist. And yes, I strongly supported legalization, and would like it legalized at the federal level.

What a sad sign of desperation from Netflix, being reduced to racing to the bottom. This is copying a (imo gross) Hulu package pricing strategy.

I wonder what the target audience is? i.e. who really wants to save $4/month by getting bombarded with ads? I'd just as soon skip it completely, but I really dislike being subjected to advertisements.
I just don't want them in my brain.

Maybe some people enjoy watching 30-40% ads over th course of an hour?
Allocating all required memory during startup has been idiomatic for database architectures as long as I can remember. The obvious benefits to doing things this way are wide-ranging.

There is a less obvious benefit in more schedule-driven database architectures. By implication, the code knows exactly how much of which resources are instantaneously available at all times since it is directly managing those resources. This enables the database to dynamically adapt its behavior and scheduling decisions in response to specific resource pressures or excess resource capacity. This is basically a fine-grained form of internal micro-backpressure, dynamically prioritizing subsets of the workload that minimize impact on the resources under pressure at any moment in time. In some versions, you can switch internal execution strategies to take advantage of currently under-utilized resources. If you outsource this to the OS, you have no idea how close or far you are from the limits, it doesn't really work.

This doesn't add much performance per se but is great for minimizing tail latencies. It helps to create a robust internal resource equilibrium that handles transients and concurrency more smoothly and consistently than if the database couldn't make a fine-grained decisions about what to do from a position of total resource awareness.
Anecdotally I've lost more friends to weed than cocaine (not lost as in died, just found it impossible to maintain the friendship). I'm not sure anecdotes are that helpful here.

Unfortunately I've never actually read a study comparing the two, do we even have accurate statistics on cocaine use?

There is a great book about the business of drug trade called "Narconomics: How to Run a Drug Cartel" by Tom Wainwright, who is a business editor for Economist and made the book after writing an article for the Economist on this topic and was prompted to expand it.

It is a fantastic read, going deep into the reasons why drugs are profitable and how cartels are just like any other business with challenges like cash flow, human resources, motivation, competitors, etc.

Key (and well argued) takeaway at the end of the book is that making ALL illegal drugs legal (and taxed and regulated) would bring immense relief to the levels of organized crime worldwide, huge benefits to the budgets, at the cost of maybe slightly more people in society who will kill themselves with said drugs,

Check it out in your local library https://www.amazon.com/Narconomics-How-Run-Drug-Cartel/dp/16...

It's absurdly short-sighted to call SMS legacy.
That's not a warning, instead, it's how it should work, and how one would want it to work, i.e. that the transaction isolation rules apply. Lack of this, would have warranted a warning.

We do, but basically everyone has legalized pot now, and they all seemed to have forgotten to do the whole nuisance enforcement thing.
I don't know what a "UBI enthusiast" is, but I'm not it.

I'm not aware of anybody who claims that people won't quit their jobs if you (1) make them stay indoors and (2) give them money, and (3) invert the economy (justifiably!) for 6 months.

The claim that UBI advocates make is that UBI, when actually applied, is just a negative income tax. Alaska has one, and it doesn't make people quit their jobs.

I'm the one here advocating for treating a 16 year old like an adult, warts and all, and you're the one secretly adjusting your son's behavior, so I'll stay right here and say what the fuck I want to.
I'll take a crack at a personal answer to this:

I'm in my mid 30's, and have been into photography since my early teens, but photography was digital from the start for me. I've sold and exhibited my work, but it's a hobby, never my job.

In the last few years, I picked up a pure manual medium format rangefinder and a slide projector. 90+% of what I've shot on film is slides, and I generally don't make a high quality scan of them.

For going out where I know what I want, and go out to shoot something purely focussed on quality and flexibility of the work, I shoot digital. I'll shoot a few hundred photos in a day, and then procrastinate about choosing selections and going through and editing them. For technically complex photography (I shoot both Underwater and Infrared) being able to evaluate results immediately and tweak lets me get results I would be unable to on film.

But I enjoy taking out my film camera when I'm going out casually.
The medium format rangefinder workflow makes me think through the photo more. Being limited to 8 shots per roll forces me to be intentional and selective about what I'm shooting. Not having immediate feedback takes away the pressure to check out and iterate on the work, so I can enjoy the time and what I'm doing other than photography, and be more in the moment. The fixed "artifact" of the film makes it feel done in a way digital doesn't - I can't alter a slide beyond basic cropping.

I don't shoot film for colour profile, or even resolution - I shoot it for how it productively artistically constraints me.

These drugs should be available, regulated and controlled.

Most people need some support when dealing with addiction, drugs and escaping. bad drugs lead to over doses and deaths when people just needed some support and time. I used a lot of drugs, i got lucky and well didn't die then grew out of a lot of the harder stuff. I just needed some patience and support to get through whatever i was going through. other people weren't so lucky, now they're gone forever. friends are dead because this insane drug war.

never mind all the other stuff that comes with black market drugs, cartels and w/e.

Not to downplay any of Daniel’s accomplishment but sometimes it isn’t a “fair” comparison when others started younger with more resources. His father is a distinguished professor of mathematics and his mother is a professor of mathematics. When you have that sort of resources available at a young age and advanced training you’ll probably accomplish more sooner than someone of similar IQ without those resources who started later
Inconvenience fee: how Biden is taking on companies’ sneaky charges
That would be a great goal. I don't expect it in "version 1" of a product though. Apple is one of the few companies I'd even expect to be considering that for a "version 2" feature. They seem to know that Apple Cash is important to the unbanked/underbanked (in the US at least) and have been making slow steps to improving that. That's not a guarantee that they will address that need, but it is interesting to note that I would be surprised if that idea wasn't already on their radar.
Legislation and regulation may mean high purity substances aren't necessarily available for retail sale in unlimited quantities.

There primary paths would be via the H-1B or the L-1. Both require employer sponsorship and the former requires selection in an annual lottery (with a low chance of getting selected unfortunately) and the latter requires employment for at least one year by an entity related to the employing U.S. entity. Another option is to get a graduate degree in the U.S. and after you graduate, you would get 3 years of work authorization if in a STEM field (and 1 year if it isn't).
I'm a bit confused what the attack is. Is it just that SSL handshakes are expensive for the server, while the client avoids the computational cost because it chooses a random public key instead of one for which it knows the private key?

And why doesn't this also apply to plain RSA and ECDHE_RSA suites, which need to compute an expensive RSA private key operation, which should be similarly expensive as DH?
This is probably the wrong thread for it, but my opinion is that weapons should be regulated like cars. You need a license to use one. You need to register it with the state, and update that registration when you sell it to someone else. Some are only appropriate for military use, and aren't available to civilians. You can buy as many as you can afford while complying with the above.
It depends on where your hot path is. If you’re writing the kind of performance critical code where the different between ‘egrep’ and ‘grep -E’ matters, then you shouldn’t be writing it in $SHELL to begin with. Not just because of the expense fork()ing, but because Bash is interpreted, because each exec requires loading new code into your L1 cache, and so on. It’s just never going to be as quick as something written in most other languages with a mature regex library.

I’m not saying this as a criticism against shell scripting (I’m an author of an alternative $SHELL and shell scripting language, so do have a love for shell scripting). I’m saying it as a criticism against people who try to optimise against the wrong things.

I guess in a way we are “violently agreeing” (as some say) because your point about the engineering effort mattering more than micro-optimisations is an example of the right kind of optimisations. Which is what I’m also, albeit badly, trying to describe.
Participation or non participation is the choice we all have.
As an aside, I have been really enjoying a full watch-through of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which explores this exact idea from many angles.

An amazing book on this topic, a must-read, is Legalize This! by Douglas Husak

He argues that all drugs should be decriminalized (note that this is different from legalized; he is arguing no one should be punished for consumption of any drug). The argument is elegant, simple, and profound.

Anyone who is going to jail requires an explanation for why that is happening. It is easy to provide one for violent crimes (for example). But you can't come up with anything reasonable for drug offenses. In the book he goes through four categories of possible responses and shows that they are all lacking (or prohibit too much if imposed in general). For example: we don't put people to jail for risky behavior like skiing or skydiving; we don't put people to jail for things that hurt their health, like alcohol, or pizza.

You've certainly got a point, but if a regulator has the ability to indirectly swing the valuation 10%, they stand to gain at most $1.5k which should be in the realm of a week's pay. It's an interest to be sure, but it would be hard to use it to finance a Lamborghini habit.
I disagree, what is common are questions or discussions on math books in general which are typically dominated by higher math and material for people already in posession of a stem degree. However many, if not most, math books are not suited for self study. I don't often see discussions on fundamentals or other "unsexy" parts of mathematics.

I find OPs question refreshing in a way.

That's the point and the title is misleading. If you buy goods from an organization because you'd like to support their cause, that's not a donation but a simple purchase. Even though 'donation' is not mentioned here, it is implied in many of the comments I read in this thread. But that's far from what it actually is and how the transaction is worked. The story would actually be outrageous if some vendor took x % from a 'donation'. But that's not the case here. These are 'purchases' with the intention of helping someone. Nevertheless, the intention doesn't matter at all here. If you want to donate, you'll have to look for a place to 'donate'. And then your transaction will be handled accordingly (hopefully).

Same, I've never understood the love for a laptop with only four ports -- and if you want one of those to be ethernet, it is not flush with the case. The modules could have been slightly bigger to fit 2x USB-A or USB-C, ethernet flush with the case. I hate carrying around and losing adapters.

And the case could have been slightly bigger to allow for novel keyboard designs, including mechanical keys with better travel or a trackpoint. The framework has been out for a year and nobody has released a third party keyboard that is materially different.

I think parent is alluding to the fact that "part of the family" is a framing that often serves the interests of the employer. No matter how close you feel to the people managing you, chances are they will not hesitate to lay you off for financial/profitabilty reasons. This is in contrast to how an actual family (whether biological or "found") works where support and belonging is to some extent unconditional.
I still prefer a product that works independent of needing to sign in (and share a bunch of data, some of it biometric), but I'm glad they fixed the google-like ban blast radius at least.
Interesting how quickly we moved from "Pot should be legalized" to "smoking in other people's face is a universal right".

Smoking anything should be illegal in public. We already have cigar bars, and I know places like Amsterdam have "coffee shops" where you can smoke your weed. I don't see why we can't follow that model.
Luckily nowdays we have enough brave persons who just take whatever is postgres:latest image from Docker hub.

There's usually somebody lighting up at the bus stop I use to go to work.

I dunno. I don't mind the smell of weed. I don't really want to smell like weed when I get to work. It is right next to a park so there's plenty of seating away from the smokers. It is a little annoying to have fewer seating areas, but not wanting to smell like weed is just my preference, and I don't think I've got some police-enforced right to never be annoyed.

My gut says we should treat smoking weed like smoking tobacco -- although I'm not aware of any studies as to the effects of secondhand smoke, with weed.

For me, as long as you're happy and you're putting more happiness out into the world than you're consuming then you're achieving a pretty damn good life. We're not all responsible for the entire world - as long as you're leaving your little corner of it better than you found it then good on you.
