I frowned over the "none of it looked planned" - the whole description sounds as if that swim was exactly that: planned from the beginning.

Typically no. In most (all?) cases the pooler manages one pool per database user, so even if there was something leaking, it would not be anything that the database user couldn't a…

Their license only disallows publishing the result of a benchmark But you were always allowed to run your own benchmarks internally. Back then, you could have installed 10gR1 and 1…

> Maps and satnav require a web connection. No they don't require a network at all. The only drawback if there is no network is that the initial finding of the position takes longe…

A side note on pgBackRest: PGX created a fork and announced to maintain it under the name pgxbackup: https://thebuild.com/blog/2026/05/01/pgxbackup-continuity-su...

German citizen as well. So with a Jolla phone and Linux laptop, I am left in the cold.

> If you want something that is more like actual recursion (I.e., depth-first), Oracle has CONNECT BY which does not require the same kind of tracking. It also comes with extra fea…

Or use a hand as a 5-bit integer, then you can count to 31 :)

I was going to refer to the new Jolla Phone, but then I realized that it doesn't have a headphone jack.

It does if you look into the README for Firefox https://github.com/corbindavenport/just-the-browser/tree/mai...

Graphene only runs on Pixel phones

So what's his "Drill, baby, drill" about? He thinks renewable energy is the something sent by the anti-christ. The only energy source he accepts is burning fossil fuels or nuclear …

The convicted felon in the White House doesn't give a shit about drug criminals - he just pardoned one. He is after Venezuela's oil.

With the latest Postgres version (>= 18) you do NOT need a plugin

I have seen a lot of people sort by (generated) integer values to return the rows "in creation order" assuming that sorting by an integer is somehow magically faster than sorting b…
