In Australia it's $400 Google Store credit with the Pro, $250 with the regular. Pixel Watch 2 starts at $549.

Those prods have existed since phones, but it was previously about not having a ringtone blare out. Now the backlash is against people scrolling tiktok/whatever during a movie. I haven't been to a movie theatre in a while so I can't say if it's a phenomenon but that would be infuriating

I've always used this. Any rows returned means there are differences

  select * from (
    (
      select *
      from table1
      minus
      select *
      from table2
    )
    union all
    (
      select *
      from table2
      minus
      select *
      from table1
    )
  )

Yeah, compulsory voting is what makes it a viable way to detect fraud.

I was also mistaken somewhat when I said "paper ballots". There is certainly electronic voting in Australia, but the "authentication" aspect of just saying a name is still the same. It's essentially "trust but verify"

In Australia we do paper ballots, no voter ID, you just say your name and it's crossed off a list. Afterwards, if the same name was crossed off two lists, the amount of double votes are counted and if it is enough to change the result then the result of that electorate is invalidated. This has not ever happened.

Coming from an Oracle background, both application and data warehousing, I wholeheartedly agree with the articles first paragraph saying that application based dynamic SQL is horrible, but DBA (and I'll include data warehousing) dynamic SQL is great, but it's essentially about how complex the thing is.

A DBA is likely doing things like looping over metadata tables and running

  'grant select on ' || some_table || ' to ' || some_user

While an app developer with free reign will end up doing something much more complex, and much harder to reason about/tune

A good meta search across book stores is https://booko.info/ It's not global, but serves a few countries

Not mainlined now, and probably not ever given that Linus has said "considering Oracle's litigious nature, and the questions over licensing, there's no way I can feel safe in ever doing so"

I think of the classic sci-fi depiction of "picture phones", and they are almost exclusively a device mounted on a wall, much like the original telephone. Maybe it's just a usability issue, in that holding a phone pointing at yourself is a bit annoying?

Joins are cheap when joining on indexed columns, but the trade off is extra time maintaining those indexes when writing. As always, it depends on the use case.

I've been using it for a while now getting the password from a file.

Interesting path, he's skipped straight over the Vagrant->Docker step most took (myself included)

Signal doesn't press you to setup (by default) unencrypted cloud backups.

I worked in government where Accenture where brought in for projects. A lot of high level meetings and presentations, then sub-junior level devs. At the end there was a lot of legal wrangling over "we delivered what you asked for", while the customer got very little of what they wanted.

I'm using the linuxserver container image for calibre, then rsync'ing to my laptop to sync with my kindle. Not really server-only but has everything I want from that

Other than doom I like some fuzzy raw black metal to drown out noise, like Paysage d'hiver. Thankfully they have quite a large discography.

I just migrated my instance by repointing the webserver container image at the one in this repo. So far, so good.

Tomcat is a common embedded server for Spring Boot applications, and included in the default web stack from Spring Initialiser.

That's only on the cheapest paid plan. You can customize plans and increase the amount of domains, though it adds to the price.

This isn't really "in SQL" as much as "using a product that has a SQL extension/backend".

pivpn now supports both wireguard and openvpn, with wireguard as the default.

The official plugin uses a php port of Mozilla's Readability, which is used for Firefox Reader Mode. There is also the 3rd party FeedIron that is more configurable.

Just 80, it seems https://github.com/caioluders/server.casino/blob/354cec4c053...

That probably increases the odds that the servers it finds are "interesting"

Business/requirements/users will often tell you that no two users will have the same birthday/SSN/whatever, but so often that eventually proves incorrect. Just using an auto increment ID as the primary key can prevent a lot of pain down the road.

I use rssbridge for sites without a feed, and the feediron plugin for ttrss for sites whose feed is incomplete.

The .wal file comes and goes, so occasionally things like rsync will fail if the file no longer exists by the time it tries to transfer.

They contain very little metal, so will not set off any metal detectors. I have a similar sized implant, but not this one, and have no trouble at airports.

The result is the same, but most drugs (prescription and otherwise) are more in the milligram range. For ecstacy/MDMA an effective dose is usually on the order of 100mg.
