People naturally move through time. Everyone, all at the same speed. And in the same.e direction - you can't time-travel back in time. And intent plays no role. Moving across space: Not everyone, not all at the same speed, not all in t

Indeed! And functions with security definers can be useful here too. With those one can define a very strict and narrow API that way, with functions that write or query tables that users don't have any direct access to. Look at it as a

from TFA: Spend the time to migrate scripts from local locations to global locations, eliminate views, materialized views, and stored procedures. Wow. So things will be better if we don't use the modularization you can get through

and of course with Gentoo, this problem needed to be solved from the start, otherwise we would've been locked out of using our package manager for a day in 2004 while we were waiting for XFree86 to finish compiling.

Coming from Gentoo, encountering Debianesque systems only later, that all-out locking really surprised me. Portage, the Gentoo package manager, only takes a lock at the very end of the installation, when a file tree (result of compilation e

Could one easily distribute software that bundles this and have it installed by novice end users? What kind of permission granting seances would they have to go through, if any?

Thanks! I put it on pypi in 2011, when you could provide external http links to the tarballs. At some point they've changed all that, I've modernized it now so have another look if you're interested! pip install quickpiggy q

Some filesystems have features for creating snapshots of the whole of the filesystem or parts of it, and for serializing those snapshot and diffs between them in a form that allows streaming reconstruction of exact logical state elsewhere.

I don't have any OSX boxes, but wouldn't bind-mounting the real the /some/where/nix to /nix solve the realpath problem? No need to write to / either (as you would have to do with the symlink approach).

Recursive CTEs are sublime, not only for orthodox trees: combined with XMLTABLE you can even use it for recursively descending XML, normalizing it into tuples of ([array, of, tag, names], value). Then you can join on that table/view us

If we'd be playing billiards you'd be right. But in traffic the objects are driven by humans. And then speed becomes a factor. Speed and impulse. Speed is a factor in the risk of collision (since our brain has limited real-time

In the Netherlands, since about two decades, moped riders (<50 cc engine, <40 kph) need a license. Quite possibly one of the reasons for this is that they share a lot of the infra with cyclists here.
