Assuming you're on a filesystem that supports reflinks (Btrfs, XFS), `--clone` is an interesting option as well. Though assuming you create a volume backup before starting migratio…

You could also phrase it as "Bending Spoons is where dying products go".

That's what they meant by "in boat displaces its weight in water". While it's in the boat, the amount of water it displaces weighs as much as the bowling ball. While it's in the wa…

A couple of games that might not quite meed the definition, but fit the aesthetic or themes: Tron 2.0, Prey (2017), Ghostwire: Tokyo

A dip increases the speed (decreasing travel time), but also the distance to travel (increasing travel time). Which of those effects dominates depends on the shape of the dip. The …

I believe most major versions of postgres only change metadata, so the downtime only scales with the size of the schema (usually small) and not the size of the data.

I'm sure if somebody hired him for a pentest it'd cost more per vulnerability found.

> but the fact that there are three waves in the attack shows the level of coordination and pre-planning that was involved in making it happen. That's a strange interpretation. If …

I assume it's only fast for large databases when running on a filesystem that supports copy-on-write? In particular, I assume it won't benefit from CoW on a tmpfs?

The pgtestdb readme claims 20ms setup, while OP claims 100ms. Where does that difference come from? A different postgres setup (in memory vs disk)?

I feel the template approach has a kind of awkward performance level. As the article points out, 100ms of overhead is still a lot if you incur it for each test. But once you re-use…

The article even allows you to toggle the notation used.

There is the ePrivacy directive as well, which mentions cookies (as a representative example), and I think it requires user consent in cases where GDPR doesn't.

EU should simply outlaw tracking for advertisement purposes. Let's return to context based ads.

One of the more annoying parts of my physics study was getting used to the new matrix multiplication notation they came up with every semester.

All real numbers are real, but some real numbers are more real than others.

Two of six screenshots show the app. So the rejection fits the rules and is easy to understand. I often agree with complaints that Apple's rejections are unclear or problematic, bu…

I think introducing unpredictable new prohibitions is a much bigger problem than the specific bans on cryptocurrency or AI written code. Especially when it leads to existing code b…

> The best practice is a policy banning PAN over email, instant messaging, SMS, and chat entirely. Sounds silly to me. A PAN should never even touch an employee's computer.

> Anyone who cares about security will be using App Attest or the Google store equivalent. Why? I rarely have security objectives where remote attention would help, and it has a hu…

Abusing IP ranges which were assigned to an organization but aren't actually used on the public Internet as private addresses is pretty common. Sure, it's bad practice, but not a b…

When designing a character on a computer, you play around with many options, until you settle on one of them. Since you did exactly the same thing for all those variants, it's diff…
