    I don't know, it's a pretty leap for me to consider AI being hard to distinguish from human contributions. AI is predictive at a token level. I think the usefulness and power of th…

    IIRC `MERGE` has been part of SQL for a while, but Postgres opted against adding it for many years because it's syntax is inherently non-atomic within Postgres's MVCC model. https:…

    I remember first moving to Philly and getting a SEPTA Key and thinking, "This is dumb, it's literally just a MasterCard. Why can't I use my credit card like NY?" Then a few years l…

    When I lived in Portland you technically _could_ pay TTP, but I don't quite count it because Hop pass accrual meant if you used TriMet regularly you needed a Hop card anyway. Just …

    I don't know what your frame of reference is, but BART is above average for US public transit payment systems. I've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area CA, Portland OR, and Philade…

    I also think asyncio missed the mark when it comes to it's API design. There are a lot of quirks and rough edges to it that, as someone who was using `gevent` heavily before, strik…

    I feel like this started/greatly accelerated when Guido stepped down as BDFL. Python at is on a path where the essence of what made it popular (readable, well designed, productive)…

    The only point I put forth is that public fluoridation of water supplies doesn't infringe absolutely on an individual's right to informed consent to treatment since there is at lea…

    You could always move to a country which doesn't fluoridate their water supply. But I am struggling to see how this has anything to do with a white paper highlighting and examining…

    These days if you want a PostgreSQL based Data Warehouse both Citus and Timescale are extensions/PostgreSQL based databases I would consider before Redshift. But even in the 9.4 da…

    I just briefly reviewed the README docs, I believe the KlongPy is a custom language which transpiles to Python. The REPL block you are trying to interpret is the KlongPy REPL not a…

    I was in the same boat, but the 30 minute fast charging now makes me think that this actually might work. Sleep with it on, wake up, pop it on the charger while you get ready, bam …

    I have worked on teams that have both sharded and partitioned PostgreSQL ourselves (somewhat like Figma) (Postgres 9.4-ish time frame) as well as those that have utilized Citus. I …

    While I agree with what you are saying in principle, I do want to point out that there is a massive difference between anecdotal evidence and _research_. In a purely academic sense…

    I am not sure I understand how stream limit configuration between two L4/L7 load balancers is meaningfully different. In my mind, either the configuration of stream limits is a vul…
