I too have worked in international aid in Africa, in anti-corruption, anti-money laundering. From what I have experienced, one of the big differences is that Western "Aid" doesn't go towards building palaces and palatial parl

I find the term "gastropub" amusing. In my experience it's not used much (if at all) here in Australia, where "gastro" is most frequently used as an abbreviation for "gastroenteritis". It does not seem to

Why does the author of that article use such stupid punctuation in the byline? "Ted Chiang’s science fiction wins piles of awards. When he publishes, which is hardly ever."

For all its faults, this article does mention one thing about PostgreSQL that I have always been happy with: ease of installation. Having been through many, many installs of Oracle and MS-SQL in my career, the speed at which you can get a P

You are right. I should have just made the comment, like you, that I dislike having baseless links added to such releases, just because people don't like our current Prime Minister. It's completely irrelevant and detracts signific
