The worst part is the new users who don't have the faintest clue as to what they're doing, and the annoying duplicates. And sometimes I get shat on for asking the question not quite right. 1. Need to incentivize new users to read

I made the mistake of studying for and taking the Canadian Border Services exam, where you have to discriminate between fake and real smiles. I got perfect on that section. But now I can't un-see it. Fake smiles. Fake smiles everywhere

Know what encoding it's in? Postgres is choking on UTF8 and Latin1

I'd rather just have better text search inside Postgres.

Always use snake_case for identifiers in PostgreSQL.

Vancouverite here. Car2go and Modo member (the co-op equiv of Zipcar). Car2go is great. The best part being the free parking, in designated spots. I can get downtown in 10 min and park for free for about $4. Bus downtown is $2.75 and takes

HTTP compression is simply not safe on your main web domain: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/20406/is-http-co... What I was trying to say is that, if you're security conscious, and running a CDN a

Strange article for the normally Libertarian crowd here. Why would a worker work at one of these farms? Because it's better, or they think it's better, than their best alternative. The same reason that many Chinese workers work at

I love Postgres, but it's CSV support is NOT "top-notch". If I could skip more than the first line, or skip "comment" (#) lines, it would be top-notch. It is however better than MS SQL Server's. Mentioning PL&#
