Original title: A Critique of Modern SQL And A Proposal Towards A Simple and Expressive Query Language

I find the Advanced Databases Course from CMU an excellent resource. https://15721.courses.cs.cmu.edu/spring2023/schedule.html

You might want to look into academic papers, e.g., T. Neumann, Efficiently Compiling Efficient Query Plans for Modern Hardware, in VLDB, 2011 https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol4/p539-neumann.pdf

Do you know why AMS is faster than FRA (ping- and speed-wise), although FRA is quite a lot closer to me physically?

What was your experience since you are in Germany too?

It might be cheaper to route your packets far away and then back.

I remember being on an independent ISP (VDSL reseller), and my neighbor down the street was on the incumbent Cable provider. When I did a traceroute, I discovered my packets were being routed across the country, south, across the country again, and back north, before getting to my neighbor.

What's your ISP?

Vodafone Kabel

It's kind of a misleading title as I was expecting to read more about React Native, but I was merely mentioned a few times. I was curious about how you generate the pictures for sharing? And how was the developing experience with React Native?

Congratulations for this amazing app though!

I will be writing something regarding that soon, this was more of designer perspective on react native.

What were you curious about re: card generation?

Might be a stupid idea, but could you use Let's Encrypt Certs as client certificates? And the browser would generate a cert on it's own?

A few of the CAs have in the past offered certificates tied to personal email addresses for cheap as free for years in the hopes that S/MIME catch on. Those are typically fine for HTTPS client certificates too, but the bootstrapping problem is essentially the same for both. To date no one has really managed to get certificates easy enough to use for the average lay person nor adoption common enough for a lay person to need to overcome the learning curve.

Come on, don't be a dick. You're exactly like a child that cries because the others get "more" and it's so unfair. Boohoo.

It's hardly "being a dick" to expect his government to provide better for its own citizens than it does for foreigners.

He's comparing apples to orange tic tacs. Germany provides 140€ per month in cash to asylum seekers plus accommodation (usually a shared dorm room). He's in "a poorer European country" and apparently earns less. He's ignoring costs of living. 140€ is a pittance in Germany. It is much less than pensioners or unemployed get. I spend 3x as much on food.

But it's not his government, it's the German government. How Germany chooses to spend its money is a matter for the German people, and not anyone else.

That may have been the case before the EU and the euro but now it appears that he should have a voice in the greater European continent. Also is it not essential that they all raise each others livelihood before giving massive amounts of cash towards non citizens? I think Japan has it right in this case regardless of what the guardian and other liberal media want to cram down everyone's throat.

I was referring to the EU, which is supposed to serve the interests of its member states -- a radical idea, it seems.

The member states have different interests.

I hold governments to higher standards than parents.

How is it 100 MB? RAM or disk space?

After checking RAM usage, I'd say both.

256MiB RSS when active, hahaha. Chrome isn't memory efficient, but this takes the cake.

Disk space

Can somebody list all Slack alternatives (and maybe weigh the pro and cons between each of them)? I really lost track, but I also want to setup (read: self-host) one for my team.

There is:

    * Mattermost

    * Rocket.chat

    * Let's Chat

    * Kandan

    * ???

App's first screen has typo: "please condifm your country code [...]"

Just FYI :)

How much data did you use and what did you pay for it? Probably like 75%, right?

I used about a gig an hour which came to around 8 dollars for the month. Storage was 15. The g2.2xlarge was 9 for 112 hours of use (I was lazy and didn't always shut it down between sessions).

Seems like it'd be useful to write a script that detects idleness and issue commands to the awscli to shut down the instance.

112 hours is not light usage..

What about Antergos or Manjaro?

"Manjaro forgot to upgrade their SSL certificate, suggest users get around it by changing their system clocks."

Okay, this is nasty.

Antergos looks promising, I'll try that next time.

Or Evo/Lution.
