I did some contract work for a company called Akiban, which was bought by FoundationDB, which was bought by Apple that took the whole product off the market at the time. What Akiban offered was SQL with an extra datatype called a "ne

what people usually want, when they are confused about that datatype, is a datatype that stores the timestamp *and* a specific timezone to go along with it, so you get back a timestamp with that same timezone if you did not ask to convert

I agree (though less indignantly). TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE basically makes me confused as it is trying to run around guessing how to actively solve a problem I dont actually have, which is, "I don't know how to correctly represe

by zzzeek 3y ago
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE stores the timestamp naively. The type defines a convention for how data is transmitted to and from the datatype. which is basically exactly how one is supposed to use timezone-naive datetimes. the datetimes are

You change your oil once every two years ? Do your cars die at 40k miles ? ICEs in my experience deteriorate pretty rapidly if you keep driving them on dirty oil

Oil changes are a tremendous burden and expense and this is one of my top three reasons, almost the reason, I bought an EV.

You should move back to the city, then. I moved out because I had enough of the crowds and awful mass transit and I'm good with it. The NYC cops were absolutely awful for us as well.

Russia's ability to wage war on Ukraine is enabled entirely because they have a nuclear arsenal. The war would have been shut down almost immediately by the US / nato / etc. if they didn't have that threat.
