Can you control the timing of queries across two db instances well enough to expect the tables to be identical?


Good question, I guess you can run two identical Postgress instances and check if they have a diff

edit: https://i.imgur.com/9xnntqB.mp4 fairly reliable trick shot


Mind giving a description for the jurisdictionally challenged? (imgur self-censors in the UK)


1. Download Tor Browser from https://www.torproject.org/download/

2. Visit the site in Tor Browser

3. Tell everyone you know about 1 and 2, and remind them that if they ever actually "verify their age" or any other bullshit, they're likely to have their identity stolen and their details leaked. Never do this. Tell the government to suck a fat one.

4. Use https://www.writetothem.com/ to write to your MP and tell them to repeal the Online Safety Act. It's a censorship and surveillance regime, it makes nobody any safer.

5. Consider joining https://www.openrightsgroup.org/

6. Vote Labour out of power at the next election. Tell all the other parties that they'll have your vote if they repeal the Online Safety Act


Honestly I assumed imgur blocked tor exits, but you're right, it doesn't (at least not in my test just now).

I configured my host-based proxy multiplexer to use tor for *.imgur.com, and now I'm free!


Before making the first shot, turn around and face backwards. Shoot back and to the left toward the barrier. After the ball ricochets, it should hit the downward-angled barrier on the opposite side and hop over it to the end section, where it's not too hard to sink the ball with three or four more shots.


screenshot of finishing with 4 strokes / 6 par (tho my locked-in daily result was 14 strokes).

The video is bouncing the ball of a wall right at the start to make it jump over the wall, water, and corner behind the start, to skip most of the track.


There's a shortcut


I imagine people will immediately patch out the auth requirement once the auth servers go away for good.


I bet we'd see a bunch of unexpected breakage in presumed-to-be-lower-level-than-http[s] infrastructure so that eg. your legacy IRC server goes down because it's running on rented hardware and the hosting provider's operations rely on some internal http services.


This is extremely likely in the case of many automated provisioning, billing, and web interface control panel systems for shared hosting platforms, VPS, virtual machine service providers that likely do something https to https internally to communicate between tooling.

In my intentionally absurd theoretical scenario, what would remain up would be the bare metal in colocation in certain service providers' environments...


Say what you will about github-the-source-control-platform, github-the-unified-login-for-bugtrackers has been a huge success.

well, you didn't from the search query.


In your experience, is there a lot of contention over whether a given issue counts as a bug fix or a feature/improvement? In the article, some of the examples were saving people a few clicks in a frequent process, or updating documentation. Naively, I expect that in an environment where bug fixes get infinite priority, those wouldn't count as bugs, so they would potentially stick around forever too.


In my world, improving the UI to save clicks is a new feature, not a bug fix.

Assuming it works as intended.


That is some "every element apart from helium and hydrogen is a metal" taxonomy!


You know that "Fachkräfte" doesn't mean immigrants, right?


Fachkräfte is often one of reasons used to justify immigration in the EU and especially Germany.

„Fachkräfte“ in quotes is often used by right wing racists to sarcastically describe immigrants if one of them commits a crime


> if one of them commits a crime

What about when many commit crimes? Starting with the act of immigrating illegally.


Once again, Fachkräfte was meant for migrants, right wing racists write "Fachkräfte" and suggest migrants are illegal and or criminals and of course muslims or arabic or african. Usually the same people count suspects as convicted and ignore other contributing factors to criminal behavior beside skin color, place of birth and religion. The also usually show sharp decline in interest as soon as a crime suspect turns out to be a local, see rampage driving in Mannheim or the AfD member who threatened others with a knife at a Holocaust commemoration in Strausberg.


Few things are truly forced upon me in life but walking away from everything that I don't like would be foolish. There is compromise everywhere and I don't think entering into a tradeoff means I'm not entitled to have opinions about the things I'm trading off.

I don't think the article sounds like someone didn't take the time to grasp the language. It sounds like it's talking about the kind of thing that really only grates on you after you've seriously used the language for a while.
