The previous government was nowhere near the same. Where Trump is openly xenophobic, the Harper Conservatives were more dog whistle stuff, e.g. stripping citizenship from duals who were guilty of terrorist charges and proposing the creation

Depending on your needs, consider trying out lz4! vs gzip, we found that lz4 decompresses 5x as quickly while maintaining comparable compression ratios and times.

Hmm, yes, at some point, opportunity cost is a thing. I think there's a risk that that line of thinking can be very reductio ad absurdum where only the most gruesome of offences deserve investigative resources and all others are dismis

You can worry about these people and worry about the more dangerous sexual predators, too--doesn't have to be one or the other. One good reason to worry about these ones: they're already comfortable publicly using children for sex

We do a variant of this, although we don't currently pay. Perhaps we should. IMO, it skews towards people who are diamonds in the rough (junior, or non-traditional background) or experienced people who are burnt out on traditional whit

As others have mentioned, if your workload is mostly appends and the data is appended in the correct order, you don't need to redo the clustering. In our case, the clustering was a one-off to get the data in the right shape. (Although

Right, it is a prerequisite, and there are some complexities in practice. You're right -- CLUSTER is a seriously expensive operation and locks the entire table, to boot. So we didn't really do that. Instead, we used pg_repack whic

The Register, in the tradition of British rags, uses somewhat hyperbolic/clickbaity headlines. You'll note that torpedoing isn't used in the copy, just the heading. I agree, though; for someone who (a) is a volunteer and (b)
