   My only issue is things calling themselves a database when they are either a wrapper layer around an actual DB (most of the new "databases" I see posted) or as in this case a storage engine. Not trying to take away from the great

   Clustered indexes can be overused but they are sorely missing from PG, having had them forever in SQL server it was another surprise to see they don't exist in PG and there is even a confusing CLUSTER command to reorder the heap table

   They seem to be referring to just the hydraulic motor themselves. You would need at combustion engine to create the 129hp x 4 = 516hp and thats not even considering pumping losses in the hydraulic drive which looks to be significant (20-50%

   By this reasoning why supply integer and 64 bit float since they don't cover all requirements and could instead be encoded in strings or blobs just like dates? Why have strings too, just have a binary type? A date/time data type i

   Dune did just fine at the box office and its was amazing at least for me to watch at home on release day, I have no interest in going to the theater anymore. The Matrix did bad because it was unfortunately a really bad movie which was so d

    So much material for new cutting American satire I can't wait to see what they do with it.

    So which places are you talking about so I know what I can agree or disagree with? This whole thing seems like continuum fallacy [1]. Just like everything we must all agree on a cutoff because the real world doesn't have neat black and

    If it where a prerequisite to vaccinate with no other choice to find work anywhere (even remote from home jobs) or even say a majority of places I might agree, but that is not even close to the case here in the US. I think the UN humans rig

    In the US the mandates allow a choice to either vaccinate or get regular testing. No one is being made to take a vaccine against their will in the US at least, they must however take precautions to protect others from their risky behavior.

    Getting Covid should be treated as though you got a vaccine based on the data I have seen, which also means its immunity effects wanes over time and would need to be boosted periodically either by reinfection or vaccine, again the vaccine b

    Covid vaccines have less side effects than the virus so are still superior option, hence the praise.

    Using the await keyword in C# a TaskCanceledException will be thrown automatically regardless if you check it or not, it just won't stop your code once running the task starts, it checks before start and at the end to set the task and

    Thanks for clearing that up, I missed that detail. So it seems similar to Tasks in .Net that check the cancellation token before starting and will throw on await. However in .Net you can check IsCancellationRequested in your code once the T

    Hmm the article says: In effect, if you look at things from the “inside view” of the async fn, cancellation looks like the await call panicking – it unwinds the stack, running the destructors for all values. The analogy, of course, only go

    Cancelling in Rust sound a lot like Thread.Abort() in .Net [1] just injects an exception arbitrarily into the thread and generally frowned upon due to potentially corrupt shared state and has been completely removed in later .Nets. Unless y

    I turn off auto switching, it causes too many issues. Otherwise for me they have worked better than any other wireless headphone / earbuds. They need double the battery life and they would be basically perfect for my use, I am hopeful

    Thats why other databases have parameter sniffing. And using prepared statements only works on the same connection so of limited use. Luckily PostgreSQL's optimizer is very primitive and so planning doesn't take too much time, as
