Good news is that they just added a plan stability feature in pg19. It's actually full planner hints, so you can edit the plan to whatever you want if you have no fear, but the main motivation is exactly index stability.

The page shows all green, which coincidentally is also how it looks when Azure is down. That page is for SLA/billing purposes, it won't show live incidents as they occur.

There's a long tradition of browsers doing exactly that. The Chrome user agent starts with Mozilla/5.0, ends with Safari, claims to be like Gecko, based on KHTML, and somewhere in there is the string Chrome. That was done exactly

More about that hypothesis in a book by Voltaire, which explains why according to a theory of Leibniz everything will actually be just fine. We don't need to worry about catastrophic risk. What if everything goes right, instead? Leibni

Yes, apt's solver has always been very fast. I still use aptitude only because it is interactive, and when apt just gives up with 0 to upgrade, 283 not upgraded the interactive exploration helps a lot.

Those are all network errors. You wouldn't just catch all errors and treat them the same. An application error should mean the transaction did not complete. Of course none of that applies in this case, since it's about Quickbooks.

If you don't need SET LOCAL or different isolation levels in your tests, the fastest by far in my experience is to have a template DB per process (perhaps migrating it once and then using it as template to make copies), then run your t

You can detach from screen/tmux, leave it running in the background, and log back in later to the same screen/tmux like you left it. Except systemd can kill it when you log out, so you come back to nothing.

Those ads are supposed to be "Clearly labeled" and "Separate from answers". Now, this is the sort of rock-solid commitment to trust and safety that steadily gets worse every year until you go from old Netflix to Poob wit

What kind of fresh hell does the sentence "undercut the professor" come from? Teaching isn't a race to the bottom. You don't undercut teaching by giving more lessons, just like you don't slight the hospital by perf

That's ironic, because the "no end" form was already a relatively new idiom. But "to no end" has already overtaken it in terms of popularity. Of course I meant the word "ironic" like I mean the word "

Right. You won't learn from a computer architecture book or a uarch guide about SSA form, or LICM, or other famous compiler principle like the central role of inlining decisions ("the mother of all optimizations"). I don&#x27

You could read compiler books, but I would actually recommend reading about CPUs and computer architecture directly. If you understand how the hardware works, then the optimizations are all very natural and fit into the picture perfectly, i

A flaw in the mirrors wouldn't leave the anomaly in a consistent place, it would keep causing problems no matter where you look. But I'm pretty sure they thought of all of this and many more objections already. It's not like

There is a scale between prise-sensitivity and risk-averseness, from my point of reference large companies are much more risk-averse than they are price sensitive. Of course this will vary, CTOs exist in all sort of different environments.

The large enterprise vendors are not prise-sensitive. They're on AWS because you never get fired for picking AWS, and there isn't really any other choice for these vendors regardless of AWS ripping you off. At this point S3 is a s

Well, it depends. Sometimes in math you do a lot of chipping away at a problem, and eventually a bigger result falls after all the right foundations are built. That seems to describe bottom-up building. On the other hand when a new high-lev
