I'd love to know why the author (I've seen that elsewhere as well) would aim at not writing some plpgsql? Is it for the "tour-de-force" bragging rights? I've found that a plgpsql r…

Interesting read. I wonder if this is only some bandwidth optimization to throw more hardware at the problem or an actual shift in perspective, ref no NaN/Inf, instead clamps to ma…

nice! any iOS clients in the works?

Totally unrelated: has anyone noticed that the bar on the F in the FORD logo ends with an e? It has been like that for a while. I remember reading somewhere that Henry Ford had for…

Actually if they can build an Expedition SUV on this platform in short order, they could have another model T on their hands. That little e at the end of the bar crossing the capit…

I tried putting in a reservation in Canada yesteday. I think they got slashdoted. Spinning.... Victim of their success. Maybe they will understand why Tesla does not need paid for …

I wonder if this is legal. I know Apple asks you to disable location tracking when returning devices to them for warranty. This could be abused by terrorists to use the postman nef…

maybe someone could have sent him a copy of this film? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Island_(film) A bit of hacking, some solar panels, a few stereos, tents, some poker chips,…

those that can't do teach, and those that can't teach troll open source devs?

If it would be my univ, I'd send a personal email to the dean. https://cse.umn.edu/college/office-dean#:~:text=Dean%20Mosta... . If enough grads do that, I would expect the univers…

(I posted this on another entry that dropped out of the first page of HN? sorry for the dupe) I fail to see how this does not amount to vandalism of public property. https://www.sh…

Me thinks that If you hold a degree from the University of Minnesota it would be a good idea to let your university know what you think of this.

congrats on the raise!

SQLite is a really neat thing. I was looking at extensions and how to augment it; you could even add a pg_notify -like feature: https://sqlite.org/c3ref/update_hook.html and have w…

Thank you for this post. I have been interested in rust because of matrix, and although I found it a bit more intimidating than go to toy with, I was inclined to try it on a real p…

I dont know what this does to you, but every time I read a PG essay I get an urge to write. This is a very virtuous habit, that allows one to have continuity. Thanks PG again for a…

my question is: who benefits? Follow the money. About if this hack is true or not: It should have been simple to prove true. Just show a single compromised article with an extra ch…

hello Matt, you might be interested in this: uses binlog to provide 2 way sync to postgres including hard delete detection, using postgres triggers. https://github.com/francoisp/ro…

check this out, https://github.com/francoisp/rosettable . Uses binlog a reader to call postgres triggers, upon which you can build 2 way sync realtime.

Very nice! Data wants to be free. Please check out this rosettable thing we open-sourced last year, it could come in handy: it allows real time ETL-like sync between mysql and post…

I wonder if the rating would be electric only after a while... I would imagine that the various authorities would create a different license, like for seaplanes and IFR. It would m…

very nice ! I had been using XDisplay, (wired, Macosx iOS only) requires an app on iOS device and needs a patch once in a while... maybe because Apple was about to come out with si…

Looks like a clear case of migration to postgres. A single table with jsonb. You can do indexes on jsonb and a few plpgsql for partial updates, and forget about it for a while.

a slightly different angle, also opensource: mautic
