   Ahah, this is fun :) But please someone, let google know this exists. I just had a forward refused by gmail because "it contains viruses", and I realize I've forwarded 5 spams before that. I would not want google to think I&#

   Agree with this. While you may feel like you're losing something big by not using the asset pipeline, tools for managing assets in js are now totally awesome. A frontend app using create-react-app has everything to compose js files, lo

   If someone is wrong here, it's neither adblock nor troyhunt, it's the person who decided to manually block the sponsor banner. I'm an happy adblock user, but this makes me wonder how blocking lists are built. Did I just give

   Before golang, my experience with compilation was about building softwares as an user in gentoo, and a few LFS. Speed of compilation was the first thing that stroke me with golang. But then again, it was the first time I was actually writin

   Hi criddell, I switched from ruby (and rails) to golang this year as my main language. If you're thinking "I'm hesitating between ruby on rails and golang", you should probably go with ruby on rails (no pun intended). Go

   It's clear from this thread that the point of pgrebase may not be understood if you don't play often with functions, so let me provide a bit of context about what comes before pgrebase. Why do we use migration tools? Data is the

   It is, provided you pass to `DROP FUNCTION` the exact previous signature of your function. Then, if you want to be able to revert your change, you also need to write a down migration, having a `DROP FUNCTION` with the exact same signature t

   Yes, having a better dependency resolver is something that will happen, eventually. Edge cases will have to wait for that :) (the workaround, obviously, is to use classic migration tools for those, since you still need a migration tool anyw

   Hi sbuttgereit, You're totally right that the dependency graph handler is extremely crude, I wrote it in one evening because I had functions depending on other functions and this caused my import to fail. The dependency statements only

    Thanks! Love the idea of packaging stuff in extensions. Actually, both ideas cool work well together: pgrebase to do the dev work with live reload, then packaging to distribute FOOS libs for postgres. Maybe it's time for pg third party

    Thanks! Same here, I would always hesitate before writing a function just because of that pain. I went totally wild this week with pg after building this :D

    Hi everyone, I've been playing a lot with postgresql lately, writing custom functions, views, types, etc. I find it cool, especially regarding performances. But one thing was annoying me: migrations. When I wanted to edit an existing f

    I find it a bit disturbing how this focuses on people in power's attitude, and not on the mass of people's behavior, like if fascism was something a handful of people put in place and the rest of us had nothing to do with/abo

    Oh, yeah. Now you're mentioning it, "China invented gunpowder" is often followed by "but they used it only for fireworks".

    by oelmekki 10y ago

    For what it's worth, I'm in France and it's common knowledge here that China invented gunpowder. I don't think I've ever heard someone saying Europe did.

    By far, it is dealing with migrations. Initially, I would use `\ef <func_name>` in psql and just write and try my function, but this turned out to be not as pleasant as writing code in an editor in a dedicated file. The annoying thing

    When I started using go (coming from rails), ORM was really the thing I missed the most. And this made me realize I actually didn't know much about postgres. I started using pg functions, views, triggers, etc and found it extremely con

    Well, if that is your main problem with go, I'll say this is awesome :) (means the language itself is almost perfect)

    This is a good point. I guess the difference here will be "how much do we trust human judgement?" and "how much do we trust AI predictions?". If AIs make 10% less errors than humans but we have 50% more trust in them, th

    If they make an error, it's their own problem, so I'm fine with that. I'm more concerned about researching such models to decide policies or act upon as administratives. I don't think classifying suicidal behavior is som

    I can appreciate the effort made in the research, but classifying possible human behaviors is exactly a field where I don't want machine learning to go. There is behind machine learning both a phantasm - artificial intelligences that c
