In case someone is looking for a proper way of making db copy in PostgreSQL and not SQLLite, pg_basebackup is the proper way: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgbasebackup.htm...

In my experience, no matter how many panels you install, Solar can cover power consumption 30-40% of its max capacity. Winter, night, bad weather will eat the rest. To go beyond the 30-40% you will need energy store or alternative sources.

Also "Battery storage is the next act [...]". There is no way they went "Full Clean Energy" without battery storage. Sounds more like op-ed piece than actual facts.

That was always my feeling - however big Wikipedia is, however many requests it handles, it is not big enough to warrant burning so many millions every year. Alas, I never studied the subject, as overall I feel Wikipedia is good force in th

With WPW you MUST NOT take beta blockers (AFAIR), it may kill you. I had just plain vanilla Afib and got ablation 2 years ago - best thing ever, cured instantly.

There are uses where gRPC shines. Streaming is one of them - you can transparently send a stream of messages in one "connection". For simple CRUD service, REST is more than enough indeed.

Up to a point and then you start feeling getting older. I started noticing while approaching 50. I can no longer push as much as I used to. I need to take breaks. Etc.

Same thought here. With a lot of production sites this approach makes sense, but with few it does look like overkill.

Downloading the big ones is so slow even over a semi-decent connection, it feels like getting certain lowres images in 1995 over a modem :-) What a blast from the past! https://eopro.esa.int/wp-content/uploads/2024

It's like asking baby to unlearn something "bad" it learned. Pretty much guaranteed the knowledge will be reinforced rather than forgotten. Whenever I hear about AI craze, I remind myself of the 3D printers craze from 10-15 y

Can't the charitable groups that post bonds re-work themselves as bail bonds companies? Or work together to create one and work through it? Yes, the regulation is broken, but perhaps there is a way out...

You are correct, async-io is cooperative. This seems an attempt to enhance these async-io cooperative threads work more like goroutines in golang. Golang can start threads if it "thinks" the workload needs more CPU.

Concurrent index creation or re-indexing is not all magic. It does scan the table multiple times and might lead to deadlocks if the table is heavily modified. Furthermore, failed concurrent index or re-index will leave invalid cursors behin
