Very little, I'm guessing; cstore_fdw is not remotely competitive with mature analytics DBMS. see here: https://tech.marksblogg.com/benchmarks.html

No, MC definitely uses that data as part of their anti-spam operations. Source: have attended a few presentations by MC anti-abuse people.

I think it's more a practical concern than something that can be proven conclusively; the behavior characteristics (e.g., collision probability) are known for a given hash function, and if you're implementing HLL, you choose an ap

These are both up to date at the moment, but it's not entirely clear which one of these will be used for future development: https://github.com/RhodiumToad/pllua-ng https://github.com/pllua/pl

Another comparison: iptables with its hard-to-remember syntax, vs ufw. As UFW is just a wrapper for iptables, I wonder if there's a real possibly of a Git replacement just being a wrapper that simplifies the syntax and maybe some of th

Thanks for the insight! Maybe it was just a brain fart, but I had to look up BQ (BigQuery) just now - the acronym might not be as well-known outside of Google.

This is fantastic, thanks so much for putting this together. In the past I've relied a bit too much on benchmarks here [0] for assessment of warehousing solutions, but it's pretty clearly skewed toward certain query patterns due t

Make sure SPF, DKIM, and From domains are all at the same root/parent domain. AKA "alignment" in DMARC - this can help even without a full DMARC record. Tighten your engagement segmentation for Gmail. Repeat every 2 weeks if

Recipient activity is not part of DMARC, so there are no concerns there.

by massaman_yams 8y ago
In short: ARC builds on top of DMARC to fix some cases that DMARC didn't handle well. (And DMARC, in turn, builds on top of DKIM and SPF.) DMARC is overall a very good thing, and has significantly cut back on the effectiveness of forge

Nobody mentioning alcohol yet? It works on the same GABA receptors as Xanax. It's certainly not without its problems, so I will stop short of recommending it, but its health effects have been much more thoroughly studied than any of th

Or even 2200k. These don't have a listed CRI, but they have none of the harshness that can come with low-CRI bulbs. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S8U2HP0

And it's... really not all that fast when compared to mature analytical databases. ClickHouse on identical hardware is ~ 100x faster than cstore_fdw. http://tech.marksblogg.com/benchmarks.html More interesting to me is

No. If 99.9% of rides don't involve this kind of problem, the additional time people (users + drivers) are unnecessarily spending taking and approving pictures is going to exceed the costs from incidents like this. That, and it's

Not for every ride, but for spills/stains: require proof of these kinds of incidents to be recorded as a video (or series of pictures) within the app, including exterior & license plate of the registered car. Log timestamp and GPS

This is effectively a solved problem, but it does require some tooling. Pre-commit hooks can strip things like execution count and/or outputs from the notebook: https://gist.github.com/minrk/6176788

I think there is something compelling about the combination of a shallow initial learning curve and optional elements like static typing that can improve maintainability for more complex projects. The shallow learning curve makes it easy to

I use catchalls for my business domains too.

I'm not commenting on whether it's a good heuristic or not. Just a possible approach.

This won't detect a catch-all address, but will almost always detect a catch-all domain: send email to [long random string]@domain. Does it bounce or is it accepted?

Dirty spammer hack: include 50% of recipients as addresses you control, and that won't ever bounce, complain, or unsubscribe. That pushes SBUR down, likely below threshold. These are often addresses created manually by 'click farm

Hibiki is available without an age statement. It's quite popular despite this.
