MySQL often has moderately higher performance (particularly for workloads where you want your data clustered by PK, which is how InnoDB is natively structured) and its replication system is much more flexible than either of PostgreSQL’s. I like Percona personally, but MariaDB is fine too.

Who would’ve thought those Arkady Martine books would be so prescient?

So this is just binary red/blue? Seems iffy given how diverse states are (eg there are about as many Republican voters in “blue” California or in “red” Florida because California is way larger). I wonder what this would look like at the county level…

Nobody in that coalition wants to think about their shit real life pulling in social security and living in a ticky tacky detached shitbox off a stroad in a suburb; they all envision themselves as temporarily inconvenienced mega millionaires whose biggest problem would be the capital gains tax rate if only those dang immigrants, brown people, women, and purple-haired hippies would stop repressing them. It’s e the American way!

Apparently the House is now considering a motion to censure… Padilla… Fucking Mike Johnson

Maybe Kobo will finally make an API for loading articles so we can send them from Instapaper/Raindrop/Pinboard/etc…

Until they actually publish the policy, who knows, right? Just because that was the “high risk” list last time doesn’t mean that the new FDA won’t declare that the only risk factor is having a golf handicap above 3…

This appears to be the relevant place to leave feedback, FWIW. I posted a comment this morning!

This seems like a big usability cost. I wonder how long it’ll be before someone introduces an extension to re-add functional visited links (slowly and in JavaScript with some big unprotected IndexedDB instance)…

Gotta love a company that will sue you if you benchmark their software…

The companies that run these residential proxy networks are sketchy as shit and in a better world would be criminally prosecuted. They’re tricking random low-information users into installing VPNs and other software with backdoors that turn them into a veritable botnet.

Part of me wonders whether the whole thing is just a set up so Trump can look good for shutting them down…
