The code is open source though, you can read it. The cli examples point you towards the relevant bits of the actual database code to read. For my own sake, I'm not sure what is so surprising here. "Turn up a hot second replica and

They don't delegate the policymaking. Tax code is always congressionally approved, and I'm unaware of any even remote argument that changing tax policy is delegated to the executive. OTOH enforcement of congressional policies is b

Correct, but you can also reject filters that will take longer statically. The point is not "any arbitrary CEL program will run in less than 10us", it's that I can encode "do not allow filters that take more than 10us to

What you really want is "can be completed after a certain amount of time", not "can be cancelled". You don't want iam policy rules to be skipped because they took too long.

This is very language dependent. People coming from python or Java would call them lists. Vectors are a mathematical concept unless you use c++.

I think there's two important things here: 1. You want to be forward looking, not backwards looking. Cutting services means less ridership means less revenue means cutting services means...etc. Bart is super useful for me during the we

It's worth noting that, at least for bart, the reason that it is facing bankruptcy is precisely because it was mostly rider supported and profitable, and not government supported. When ridership plummeted by >50% during the pandemic

This isn't really indexing in the same way that the CPI is indexing. Alice pulls medians from other surveys (so it uses what I assume to be CPI food and CPI housing data, though they may also use other things), and then includes childc

Under a gold backed economy, things are zero-sum. Under a fiat based economy, they aren't. If your concern is about the problems of a zero-sum system, you should support a lack of scarcity in the money supply.
