Yeah, every time I find some weird annoying behavior or some missing feature in MySQL, PostgreSQL is doing it right.

That said, also ask yourself if you really need a relational database, or whether an object store or append-only / timeseries db would fit better.

Thanks, I was wondering what was wrong with it.

NYTimes makes it sound a bit less concrete:

Negotiators from Israel and Hamas have provisionally agreed to the broad outline of a cease-fire in Gaza, though they have yet to confirm its start date and other technical issues, according to a senior official from one of the mediating countries and two senior Israeli officials.

The deal still needs to be formally ratified by the Israeli cabinet, according to the officials. Two other officials said there was last-minute wrangling over the Egypt-Gaza border, which is currently controlled by Israeli forces — which could still delay a final agreement.

Based on recent actions, I'll believe it when troops withdraw instead of deciding to blow up more hospitals (if any are left).

The most serious discussions I've heard about adjusting comp and benefits have been around hiring and retention, so I figure turning down recruiters may be my best chance to affect practices.

Cool, new reply to Amazon & Meta recruiters.

The map below shows rates of home insurance nonrenewals in recent years. You can explore your state and areas with the highest rates in the country, including California and Western states facing wildfires and Eastern Seaboard states like Florida and the Carolinas with elevated hurricane risk.

And it seems like that's the use the article focuses on:

The very richest live lives that are truly profligate in their use of the world’s remaining carbon budget. Previous research on climate inequality by Oxfam found that the two private jets owned by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder, spent nearly 25 days in the air over a 12-month period, releasing as much carbon as an Amazon employee in the US would in 207 years.

The three yachts of the Walton family, heirs of the Walmart retail chain, had a combined carbon footprint in one year of 18,000 tonnes – an amount similar to that of 1,714 Walmart shelf-stackers.

I think it's helpful to point out what they're doing, if we can legislate it away, but I'd like to hear more about the $140k+. I assume it's airplanes, cars, and beef.

"Will I have root on my dev machine" is on my list of interview questions, now.

Looks like this account is just posting IDF apologist articles, gonna block & move on.

What are your thoughts on misc scientific observations/data? Right now I'm looking for a place to post comparison IR images of cooking on gas v. induction, which is certainly not a reviewed article, not might be interesting to this community. Another example I can think of is "here is a cool exhibit I saw at xyz museum". Do you want that kind of conversational science-oriented content?

In the video on NBC, I can't even see Vu make any physical motion. One second they're talking, the next Sgt. Joseph Gibson just loses his temper and throws the man on the pavement. Looks absolutely like he just can't handle not getting his way.

In which the artist realizes they're much better at painting suits of armor than cats.

Wikipedia lists many countries that use platform screen doors as a safety measure, for both train and bus platforms. Below, Bogotá.

Thanks, hadn't seen that before. I wonder how things like "eat less beef" fit into that chart, or of that's part of the $0 premium.

As is teachers don't already have it hard enough.

What bank (or actually credit union) uses Fido or TOTP for second factor?

Wow, 4 years to comply! Seems like a good change though.

So what would it cost to replace all fossil fuel energy with renewable?

Report, block, move on.

Seems like at some point there should just be a hard limit on size / market cap of corporations.
