Just the raw amount of data is not enough metrics to judge whether postgres is "enough". They seem to value horizontal scalability e.g. in terms of write throughput, which is easie…

This is also my experience. It's always that projects grow large in terms of people working on them and that is when you want to create independence between teams by reducing the a…

It could be that there is no such case of someone being swatted and killed in Germany because of smaller population, or because of differences in police training. In the end, the p…

I agree that just from the picture side, this looks very similar. However, in Germany, police is taught in a very different way than US: They are only allowed to use firearms as a …

As can be seen from the comments, the person concerned probably felt that he was being treated disproportionately. Regardless of the fact that it would of course be better for the …

Not necessarily, as there are other exceptions to this rule. A person can also be "Beiwerk" [1] (= accessory/props) which in the context of personality rights means that you are no…

The commitment to a 2 year grace period for deprecated API versions would only start at the release date of the succeeding API version, right? Many consumers are maybe only interes…

In Europe, "Computer Science" is translated with a word that is a mix of "information" and "mathematics". University course names are: > [...] informatique (French), Informatik (Ge…

Still impressed every time how well Sanderson is able to use his visualization and presentation skills to make explanations so good.

Doubt that. There is this so-called "Steam web API key scam" which is ongoing for years at this point: Scammers create phishing Steam login pages to grab people's credentials. Just…

According to a tweet that was also retweeted by the user @floesen_ who was mentioned in the original thread, the initial report 2 years ago was done using HackerOne but has probabl…

Strictly speaking, you could still use one-time pads. So it's not "no" message.

The people behind RH may come back, but the brand seems to be burned at this point. We're not talking about a non-tangible issue here like Facebook abusing their users' privacy. Cu…

Seems almost like an unpopular opinion, but I think Cyberpunk 2077 itself is really not that bad. And on PC, it runs pretty well already. I think the main issue is the false market…

Steam and especially CS:GO has a problem with phishing sites (with fake Steam OpenID pages) where attackers (after getting access to the Steam accounts) can automatically create pe…

Discords around financial or economic topics (e.g. cryptocurrencies, Steam trading) are heavily abused by scammers that use large numbers of bots to attack or phish users. I could …

Well, we came to the conclusion that there is no hard border and therefore good answer to that question. But we also agreed that it's not the most important factor whether it's cod…
