Why Use Postgres? 9 years ago

Careful with this if you want to use it for partitioning data (it was atleast true till 9.6 in my experiments). You will never hit the exclusion parameter and consequently end up scanning all the child tables in vain.

Hopefully the partitioning thing is soon fixed 'properly'.

I developed and use(d) pgxplorer (github.com/pgxplorer). So, I can tell you this: the best out there is psql (CLI). There exists no use case where a GUI is better than psql.

Why is this getting downvoted? Please don't downvote if you disagree with this viewpoint. Rust has its reasons for is current form, which is OK! In general, the whole song and dance around GC is a hard problem.

I agree that the syntax is cryptic. I also think that programs are written by humans for human consumption (for accomplishing a certain task).

If you have a long term plan, you might want to factor in the talent pool, hardware cost, and tech debt. For your case, if that leads to Rust, so be it. Or if it means Python, that is fine too.

One way or the other, the company is looking after its interests. You will be reciprocating that when you find something better for yourself. They will understand.

I have quit, folks weren't too pleased, but I kept everything civil and professional. And I was successful in getting a recommendation.

file_fdw.

I have a file that keeps changing constantly. What was a file read/write at app level has been replaced. Less code, direct access to data and readily "ETL-able".

At least until we manage to fool the vestibular system as well as we can the eyes.

If we can trick the neurons on site, then might as well trick it right before it plugs in at the brain...in which case, we probably will have optics covered as well. Thence we can get rid of the headset altogether.

We use RethinkDB 11 years ago

When I changed the country to Japan, the sticker price jumped from 2000 USD to 15,000 USD eq. for a very basic system. I am just at a loss as to what can explain this disparity. Guess I will have to call up my vendor to get a comparable quote.

As a side note, the pressure that is waxing and waning in that diagram is very very small compared to atmospheric pressure.

The actual air molecules are moving at a much higher speed (the root mean squared velocity is dependent on the temperature). But if we imagine that these are weightless dust particles suspended in air, the diagram is accurate.

The trick here is it not go to the reset page but to the signup page. Almost always, there is a message that indicates that the email id is already taken.

(which is why I think that indicating specifically, that the userid was incorrect or the password was, is better UX.)

I mailed both of them. Got a reply from Buffer and it wasn't a template. The CTO had taken his time to look at what I had written and crafted an appropriate reply. I really really appreciated it.

On the other hand, I didn't even receive an acknowledgement from Heap, template or otherwise. It is fine, really. But I just want to get this out there as an addendum to your comment.
