I don't see anything relevant in the PG13 release notes, but in the release notes for 14 there are these items: - "Allow partitions to be detached in a non-blocking manner. The syntax is ALTER TABLE ... DETACH PARTITION ... CONCUR

Aurora most definitely does not do that for Postgres. Postgres’s storage layer is separate enough that this is quite possible. Edit: maybe the confusion here is about what “storage layer” means here. The physical row encoding is still the s

Ah, good point. I’ll add it to my list to update the canonical version on Medium ( https://medium.com/p/20d3749ed680 ). We’re still running PG11 so I haven’t been as good about getting some of the newer stuff added to th

Author here! This was also published here: https://medium.com/p/20d3749ed680 , and I’ve updated it there at various times (though I’ll admit it doesn’t have the new features in PG13-14 yet) but had forgotten about the G

Aurora isn’t a reimplementation anyway, it’s a fork with the storage layer replaced.

Eh, I’ve purchased a bunch of Lutron Caseta dimmer switches from Amazon Warehouse, and I’ve several times received what was clearly a fraudulent return (the switch is obviously not a smart switch and doesn’t look like the picture on the box

Please tell me more about how no vaccinated persons oppose vaccine mandates.

That’s true to a degree except that most of the companies involved have made their position by selling it as a platform that anyone can use and that the content on the platform is explicitly not the speech of the platform provider.

Exactly. GP assumes there are only two alternative goods, but like almost every well-intentioned idea it doesn’t actually take into account human behavior and how artificially changing demand for one thing can have really bad consequences.

Sibling comments have effectively pointed this out, but obviously it could be optimal per tag, and also given we already have Find My Friends access to each other it’s a completely meaningless objection. Point is it should be at minimum opt

Notably they hint at one of the problems but don’t discuss fixing it at all: it’s bizarre that AirTags can’t be shared with a family account. It’s irritating that if I grab my wife’s copy of the car key I get alerts about being tracked, and

What about payments? And web hosting? And so many other things? It’s never been easier to start a site, yes, but it’s also never been more obvious that the providers that make it that easy aren’t interested in neutrality.

Which raises the question of why it was so easy to demonstrate it failing at CES.

There are two exceptions I’m aware of to “SI is easier in practice”. 1. Temperature. It’s useful to elongate units over the range normally experienced by humans, which Fahrenheit does and Celsius does not, because it avoids tenths of a degr

Humor also often has a lot of contextual flex, which is intentional misinterpretation (e.g., unintentional double meaning) is often humorous. Just laugh at the joke.

I also don’t see a notice on the admin panel, but others in the comments here seem to suggest they do. So…yet another layer of confusion.

I've got multiple domains on "G Suite legacy" which the admin console claims have been around since March of 2013. Given the article references December 6, 2012 as the date they stopped offering this I'm wondering if I s

If you have any non-ASCII characters wouldn’t the C collation be very surprising? I’m having a hard time seeing how the C collation is a sensible default for UTF encoded text . If you want to limit to ASCII the why are you using UTF?

by jtc331 5y ago
What else would they reasonably default to? Are you proposing requiring collations to always be specified (a breaking change from the SQL spec)?

Alternatively admitting that makes one look better than admitting “I didn’t know” or even “I was wrong”. The inability of public health officials to simply say “we got X wrong” when they pivot massively erodes trust; ironically admitting “w

It seems you didn't read what I wrote. I didn't say "tests weren't carried out". The studies were unblinded at 6 months -- the original plan was multiple years. That qualifies as "cut short" for any reason

And yet also it’s standard medical practice to assume causation (for the purpose of not causing harm) when there exists correlation of adverse events with new treatments until proven otherwise.

Worth noting that while there is a clear and measurable increase, the CDC makes a nonetheless significant error by assuming 2019 is the baseline when in fact we see a baseline increase every year even without other factors (both because of

It doesn’t need to be a “slam dunk”. It accomplished what I intended, which is show that you were making claims that were verifiably false.
