The Postgres devs are discussing eliminating that speedbump, and having an encrypted connection start with an ordinary TLS Client Hello: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CAM-w4HOEAzxyY01Z...

Hmm. I guess there's guarantees that it won't happen , and guarantees that if it happens then it wasn't supposed to and can't be your fault , and the latter may still be pretty attractive to some decision-makers.

Same in UK. But I suspect they changed the design primarily to eliminate the litter caused by discarding the ring-pull piece?

Zapatos offers something similar here: https://jawj.github.io/zapatos/

Yes — though there are also shortcut functions for basic CRUD (and also for lateral joins) which give you automatic typing.

Worrying is not good UX.

The point is, if they don't know it, then they may worry whether or not they're getting the code right.

I like to also remove 0 and 1 — because the human entering the code probably doesn't know that 0, o and O will be considered equivalent — and A and E — because accidental profanity isn't actually prevented by excluding only U and

Would it be fair to say that Kanel is similar to half of my library Zapatos, which generates TS types from Postgres, but then also gives you some simple tools to use them in querying the database? https://jawj.github.io/zapa

You probably got downvoted because there is literally no alternative (except perhaps being airlifted to a different country). The NHS is basically the only provider of emergency care.

Not necessarily: my understanding is that in the US a few people probably get more healthcare than the optimum, and many get less, all on an extremely large budget.

The thing about austerity, though, is that by reducing spending you also shrink the wider economy, reducing tax receipts. The "nation's credit card" rhetoric the government has used to try to justify this is just misleading.

You don't want it to be a free market. People who need urgent health interventions are not ordinary rational consumers. They may not even be conscious. Combine this with providers incentivised to provide as much healthcare as possible

Author here. Note that this is very much a proof of concept, and very much not a library you should (yet) use in production. One nice thing it can do is indent and annotate binary data as it writes and parses it. You can see this at http

Do you think any of my 4 bullet points is wrong? For example, do you disagree that the availability of private schooling reduces social mobility and equality of opportunity? Or do you think they are right, but that it’s not a problem that t

My points may reveal something about my politics, but they absolutely are not just belief or ideology. I already pointed you to a rigorous academic paper to back up one of them. I don’t have the same to hand for the others, but something li

Despite apparent savings to the public purse, private schools remain pernicious in a bunch of inter-related ways: * Per the comment up-thread, private schools allow the rich and powerful to insulate themselves from a failing system. If thes

Almost all healthcare is free, so this is not the main mechanism. If people can't get a GP appointment soon enough, they might turn up at A&E (ER). But mainly, the problem is long-term underfunding and understaffing (exacerbated by

Yes, but not really for urgent care. All Accident & Emergency (ER) departments are NHS-run, so everyone can expect poor state provision to bite them when they're most in need. For education, on the other hand, rich people and MPs c

In the UK, you might not get the 'at own risk' sign, not because people aren't going to sue you, but because posting an 'at own risk' sign doesn't do a lot to change your liability. Whatever signs you post, it&
