My solution to this is that "password" is the literal password of my guest WiFi.

Most iCloud data is end-to-end encrypted; Apple doesn't have direct access to your data. In the end they do own the OS and could potentially backdoor your device, but if you're worried about that... well, Lockdown Mode is moot at

To nitpick a little bit, Python does not follow semver and does not claim to follow semver. Minor versions are mostly backwards compatible, but do include breaking changes.

That's a myth, and obviously false on the surface: What are they supposed to do when they need that capacity back for Black Friday? Kick out all their customers for a day?

It's good practice to have a length constraint on all text fields, just to put some cap on field sizes. You don't want somebody uploading 100MB of garbage into the `first_name` field—A 1000-char max is more than enough. Constrain

For Postgres, there's a strong case to be made VARCHAR(n) is preferable to TEXT+check constraint. As you note, they're stored the same on disk. But for a varchar, you can increase the length with just this: ALTER TABLE a A

One thing I've always wondered: How do pre-compiled binaries take advantage of new instructions, if they do at all? Since the compiler needs to create a binary that will work on any modern-ish machine, is there a way to use new instr

I think that paper is making an argument orthogonal to OP. OP is saying Postgres is a good enough solution, that the advantages of simplifying the stack outweigh the disadvantages of using a non-optimal database for basic use cases.
