Earliest delivery is 2024, so not really "released", is it? I see from the photos it will have side mirrors now, so no side cameras after all. Still haven't heard anything about crash testing, which I'm curious about sin

Bidirectional replication (aka multi-master) was added to Postgres in v16. Most others like MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, et al have supported it for quite a while now. Neat project, but there are easier, more cost-efficient, and well-

When my 2015 MacBook Pro's SSD died, I could still book off an external and replace the original. All storage dies eventually. There's a huge difference between needing to replace a broken or obsolete part and needing to replace a

That's because they want to restrict notably lower than 100mph, which is location-dependent. But we can already restrict to 100 (or 90) without geolocation and extra costs. NTSB's proposal is a stretch goal.

From the linked article: > Modern automobiles do use governors to limit engine damage, but the threshold is set absurdly high, often at 155 mph. Even safety-conscious Volvo allows its cars to reach 112 mph, 27 mph faster than the highest

We had that too. Partial expression indexes mitigated most of the performance problems and CPU load. We then created consistently-named functions that made the appropriate JSON query. Then an expression index on the function. If the key was

I think "use a better data structure" needs to be #1. If you have a bad data structure for your use cases, no algorithm change will save you. If you have a linked list and your use case tends toward non-sequential search and acces

Seems a rather threadbare update. A few notable improvements under the hood—which is good since they don't require code changes to see perf improvements—but no new functionality for querying that I can see. It seems the difference in p

With 8GB, you will swap to SSD more. Intelligent algorithms and fast SSDs will indeed keep things running quickly and smoothly for the most part. However, the number of write cycles on the SSD will increase substantially compared to its lar

Bull. Folks have increasingly stopped going to the doctor due to abusive copays, "coinsurance", and other such nonsense. Medical bankruptcies are still way too high in the US and still remain the primary cause of bankruptcy. Prima

Yes, yes we do. As long as fossil fuels are still in use, we need non-CO2-producing energy sources online. Once the last oil and natural gas plants are offline, we can start discussing energy strategies in California without nuclear. Greenh

For what it's worth, most of my time is spent inside the DB, not app code. I learned long ago that once bad data gets in, it's far harder to get out and trust the system again. Best defense against bad data is a well-designed, str
