Risky. MAC address tracking is definitely a legal 'grey area' at the moment. I can imagine mining/fingerprinting in this way could easily become illegal in the not-to-distant future. In the UK, City of London already banned t

I'd also add that SPA[1]/client-side applications are also an important consumer of databases with decent JSON support. The "backend" for these types of applications are often relatively thin API wrappers around a databa

I certainly wasn't saying the feature should not exist because it's hard.... merely, do it right or not at all. The culture on the Postgres development side has always taken a very conservative approach, which carries with it much

I'd still argue that at least you are aware there may be an issue with your code. So at least if something comes up (duplicates, exceptions during high load upserts) you'll know where to look.

This does not solve the fundamental problem of an upsert. This rule allows the possibility of raising an exception on INSERT if two Pages with the same Url are "upserted" in parallel. You would still require a table level lock to

That may be true if your site is an article repository (blog, news etc) where the primary purpose is consuming text. If I'm on your site to read, then I certainly don't want to be "interacting" with the page. But the bro

Ok so ignoring the fact that this relies on magic... I think there is something to using physical locations to keep references to files. I can remember the shelf that I stored a notebook and the rough location in the notebook of a sketch fo

Agreed. I did grasp it... but I gave it more mental processor time since it came from HN than I ordinarily would have. If I had just stumbled across it, I may not have bothered to work out what was going on in the vid.
