Re:PL/Rust 1.0: now a trusted language for Postgres on Sunday April 09, 2023 @03:11PM (#35505531)
Can you give some examples of why you think this? I'm sincerely curious as someone who uses PLPSQL nearly every day and knows it is not perfect, but surprised to hear it is "awful".
I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that Windy (windy.com) offers that: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/windy-com-weather-radar/id1161...
Is reporting on the findings considered "talking quite a lot of sh$t"?

You've never read a message with the intention of responding at a later time? I do and if I don't flag it somehow (unread) I will easily forget about it.

It’s not moot because had Tesla had greater volume, one might be able to more easily justify the higher number of deaths. However the volume is still relatively smaller and therefore the higher number of deaths is still significant.

That's kind of a odd statement, no?

I don't think she was implying that at all. She was highlighting that if they couldn't even do a basic thing like employing stronger, more complex passwords - how could they defend against Russians reading DoD emails.

I think the 'red transit lane' is a step in that direction:

What does it mean to be "digitally penetrated"? I'm not familiar with that.

These perhaps?:

https://github.com/actix/actix-web

https://github.com/carllerche/tower-web

Not saying that is the primary use, but still a valid question as long as these libraries are being built/pushed.

I did not read the comment as advocating for debtors prisons. My understanding is that those were (are) for individuals who cannot pay a debt. Instead, I assume the parent commentor meant something more along the lines of a Bernie Madoff.

I wish I could use an eye-roll emoji right now...
I'm not legal expert so I can't be certain, but to a layperson like me it sounds like he is asking people to commit violence:

"mainstream media is the enemy, but now it's time to act on the enemy"

"legally and criminally its time to move against these people"

What about if the speech involves inciting violence? Is there a line that is drawn?
What is the alternative? Should the government step in and prevent Twitter from banning its users who are voluntarily using the platform?
Twitter is a not a government entity, so how is this censorship or leading to it?
It appears they may have even faked their first prototype - simply encasing a standard electric toothbrush in a 3D-printed case. That would suggest, at least to me, that they were deceitful from the start.

Re:SQLite Query Language: upsert on Friday May 11, 2018 @04:52PM (#17050711)
But we are talking about sqlite, right? By default the database is locked once a write occurs, so there could not be concurrent transactions writing to the database.
