The Zhou Yongkang incident happened over a decade ago, it happened in roughly the first year of Xi Jinping's tenure, Zhou Yongkang was a supporter of the also-purged Bo Xilai, and while he was still in power he ran the department responsible for internal security. I don't doubt the guy was corrupt but this is exactly the sort of target you go after if you want to maintain your own grip on power.

In StarCraft you can give individual orders to your initial group of workers (drones) instead of giving them one big group order. It takes only a few seconds for your drones to move to the resources so you only have a few seconds to click and give multiple orders.

UUID v7 2 years ago

The patch is already written, it's on that page. The bottleneck in Postgres is reviewer bandwidth which is why it's been moved out of several commitfests.

Is the headline true at all? It was punted to the next commitfest on 2/1. It could easily keep getting punted like it has been for a ~year now.

They all seem like APIs that could be abused to fingerprint the device, e.g. no two phones are going to have the same free disk space and no two devices behind the same IP address are going to have the same uptime.

The problem it solves is that the vast number of PRs on a busy team don't conflict, both at the source level and the unit test/CI level, so you can increase the throughput of PRs by automating the merging process and merging multiple PRs at once.

Aidentified | Data Engineer | Remote (USA) | Full-time

We map personal relationships and present them in a way that helps sales teams find leads. There's a lot of heavy data engineering work that has to be done and you'd be part of the team doing it. Our data stack is PySpark / Python on EMR (AWS) and you'll be spending most of your time in it.

The overhead would be terrible. If implemented, you'd put the syntax in your queries, but a GUC or some such would turn off validation, it'd be off by default (because of that overhead) and you'd only turn it on for local dev and for testing.

The underlying issue, mixing up the cardinality of one side of the join, isn't a super tricky one to identify, especially once you've seen it once or twice or seen what the buggy output looks like. Every intermediate SQL developer has run into the bug and has fixed it. The vision I have for the feature is more like a set of training wheels for developers who are earning their SQL scars. And it's also probably not a terrible idea to document exactly where you are expecting the full M x N cartesian join results when you do want them.

(Author here) This is also a neat idea but wouldn't help with subqueries, views or other computed relations getting joined on each other which is a major motivation of the validation proposal.

(Author here) I think the purpose of the large result limiting is to avoid swamping the terminal with output. The whole set of --i-am-a-dummy features is to give a saving chance to the hackers who are typing away without any forethought into a prompt in autocommit mode. Using transactions, copy and pasting complete queries, having your coworker double-check your work etc give you enough foresight that you'll not have a need for it.

I've been on TornadoVPS (formerly prgmr.com) for ~a decade and it's been fine. They lack the ability to do lots of storage like you may need for this project. If you can configure Nextcloud to use s3 or a competitor's clone for storage I think that would be a reasonable, measured exposure to Amazon/Google/Microsoft and you'll get to take advantage of their high reliability where you really need it.

California is a government too, separate from the federal government of the United States, and it hasn't been shy about regulating tech companies. I don't think this jump to foreign governments is substantiated.
