I think so. The PostgreSQL logo is an elephant, and the community calls him "Slonik", probably derived from the Russian word for elephant. There is also a node.js driver that is called "slonik"

There is no way to square this circle. If you take payments from the vendors you recommend, you will never be fair. Either you take their payments and don't promote them, then they'll stop paying. Or you take their payments and pr

A few family members caught covid on a plane despite everyone needing a negative covid test before departure and wearing a FFP2 mask during the whole flight. Put a lot of people in close proximity for a long time and it's going to be v

Products with higher visibility will automatically get more upvotes, so even if you don't directly pay for upvotes, you indirectly do pay for upvotes. If you let people pay to be featured, you'll always end up favouring those who

I'm also affected. I'm considering suing them, but I am unsure if that makes sense. The German entity probably has no assets. Lawsuit would probably cost thousands of euros in legal fees, take a year, and it is unlikely there are

Books are not going away. My kids devour books just like I did when I was a kid. Books can be lent, gifted, borrowed. Books can be discovered in physical places, in the school library, the public library, in a bookstore. Ebooks just aren&#x

Yeah. People are forgetting what the old internet looked like. Literally every search result used to contain porn. I'm glad that content filters are now good enough to filter porn reliably. If I don't look for it, I rarely find po

It's the same thing with Apple App Store. And with 3rd party merchants like Fastspring, Mycommerce, Paddle, Paypro, etc. It's not just the EU, the US money laundering KYC rules are also pretty annoying.

They have a single speed bike, which is a lot cheaper and not what most people mean when they want to buy "a bike". Adding gears will add at least 100€ to the price, for entry level components. They also said they replaced the tir

I guess this shows how different skillsets are. Debugging gifs also sounds a lot easier to me than setting up a remote controlled doom and screencapturing it, but I guess it all depends on your prior experience.

Most people in Europe don't rely on credit card debt. We buy stuff only if we have the money in our bank account. And if we don't, we just overdraft our accounts. 20 years ago, credit cards were a thing that mostly people who trav

The latency of Airpods is barely noticable because Apple devices are really good at syncing video to the audio latency, so it seems like there is no latency. I tried using a rythm composer app with the original Airpods a few years ago, and

I think they want to leave some space so that the battery can expand. Easiest way to do that is to glue it on one side and leave a bit of space on the other side.

I've been running my business on VPS from Linode and Hetzner for the last 13 years and have never had an issue with DoS. I think the benefits of Cloudflares DoS protection are vastly oversold and absolutely unnecessary for 99% of busin

I was more thinking of smaller teams or individual developers that are Apple only. If you have a bigger team, then it doesn't matter as much, because you have different people who do the iOS app, people who do the website, people who d

Apple Intelligence is a bunch of new tech they haven't really released yet. In typical Apple fashion, they start slow, and will improve it year over year. Apple rarely backports new tech to older devices. It probably could run on the o

The catch is that it's a mobile processor with very limited cooling so it's only good for bursty loads. Which happens to be a good fit for the kind of stuff people do on phones. If you're in Lightroom all day, or compiling co

Shady shit? Not every network request is a call to an HTTP REST API. Blocking socket APIs would break every app that supports other protocols. Goodbye file transfer apps, VPN apps, file sync apps, database tools, SSH clients, remote desktop
