What do you think they were saying? I don't see any other way to read it. HOT updates write to the same tuple page and can avoid updating indexes, but it's still a write followed by marking the old tuple for deletion.

I believe they were just pointing out that Postgres doesn't do in-place updates, so every update (with or without partitions) is a write followed by marking the previous tuple deleted so it can get vacuumed.

I imagine it's referring to anonymous VPN traffic through providers like Mullvad. Your internet traffic through your corp VPN is likely already at Orwellian-levels of surveillance, and that traffic can at least be tracked back to a asi

All you've done is move the goal posts, and it's not even ads related. I'm not entirely certain what you're arguing, other than having some feelings about Apple.

Apple doesn't sell information, they sell access to eyeballs. Quite a big difference. The whole point of first OPs point was that ad revenues to Apple are not worth hurting the other parts of their business built around privacy. Pointi

But the comment OP was replying to was about their ad services and what incentive the company has to operate in good faith or risk impacting sales to the majority of their business.

Hardware is still 3x the revenue of services, and though it has a lower margin is the bulk of the companies profit. Apple was 3% of the PC market in 2010 and is 10% today, while Android is 75% of the global cellphone market - there's p

Ads are only 2-3% of Apple's revenue, while Google is ~75%.

Facebook had started bifurcating API endpoints to support iOS vs Android vs Web, and overtime a large number of OS-specific endpoints evolved. A big part of their initial GraphQL marketing was to solve for this problem specifically.

DebugAllocator essentially becomes a no-op wrapper when you use those targets.

That's a library feature (not intended for release builds), not a language feature.

The last iced release was September 2024, more than a year ago. I imagine they had constraints that made it impossible to wait for upstream patches to be merged (if at all) and it was simply more tenable to fork and worry about merging late

You don't owe random strangers your time, and it's so strange to me that people feel so entitled to other peoples time. Can also be argued that it's rude to engage a person on a topic they're not interested in.

Other than a few popular libraries, I'm unaware of any major open source project that isn't primarily supported by corporate employees working on it as part of their day job.

How do you measure results until something is done? It's simply not possible to reliably measure or predict the result of something before it's done, and at best any numbers will be incredibly rough estimates. The only thing we ca
