Clearly Postgres is not a good database and you will wisely use any other. I can see real advantages to this. It saves you so much effort and time. In fact, it allows you to make no effort at all.

Their 'right' to do that was probably somewhere in unreadable ALL CAPS on a small piece of paper at the bottom of the shipping box that the end user never got. Fuck 'em. Isolate your local net from the world and only let thr

"If we judged other forms of power generation the way we judge nuclear, we simply wouldn't have electricity." Yes, of course. I can only imagine the deaths and destruction that tsunami would have caused if it were a wind o

I live in Georgia, and the only thing this plant will do is raise our rates. It's late (of course) and HUGELY over budget (also of course). The planners always knew it would be way late and way over budget. None of that mattered, be

I'm terribly suspicious when an article quotes a CEO saying "profits aren't where they should be". God only knows what he thinks his corporate profits "should be", but I'd bet it's a lot higher that y

The HDD may be having to retry reads on weak/bad sectors. Run Steve Gibson's SpinRight on it. It spots sectors that are having problems but not yet totally failed, and tells the controller to swap them out for spares (which is w

Lousy article. For example, the author complains about a supposed 'lesson learned' that says (shortened) "If so-and-so happens it may be because of A, or it may be because of B". His complaint is "except that it m

The idea that Measurement = "interaction with the macroscopic environment" is part of the Copenhagen interpretation, not a requirement of QM itself. Aside: (Personally, I see this more as Bohr's way of dodging questions he ha

When I wrote my original post I seriously considered adding the restriction to 'entangled spin states', but then decided not to. First, if confused more than clarified things. And second, I suspect the principle does apply to all

This smells like politically motivate BS. Science gets everything wrong, so it's OK if we just believe whatever we want to about the Pandemic. For example, on the first page of this article, follow the link titled "We Must Choose
