I think I may know why white people are so upset about this Dr. Seuss/cancel culture thing. I was reminded of this story today. It goes back to the second-most devastating day of my life: The day I found out the Hardy Boys were white. A thread

I committed bottom-up index deletion today, which is slated for Postgres 14. See postgresql.org/docs/devel/btr… for a detailed description. In short: it makes index bloat/VACUUM issues much less likely to get out of hand. Updaters are now *required* to clean up indexes after themselves.

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump said something that I can agree with!! “At no time before has there been a clearer choice between two parties or two visions, two philosophies, two agendas for the future.”

Continuing my reverse-engineering of the Intel 8086 processor, I look at the dynamic latch. Driven by clocks, a latch holds one bit. The 8086 has over 80 latches storing important state. The instruction register, for example, is made from 8 latches. righto.com/2020/08/latche…

To name two (credit to @pg_xlog from a discussion elsewhere): blast radius with multiple end apps sharing single database and autovacuum keeping up. Besides a large server, you probably also need a PostgreSQL expert doing design and carrying a pager to run a million tables.

Someone noticed that when you have hundreds / thousands of cores in a supercomputer, the individual utilization boxes in Task Manager start to look like pixels. People started making pictures by doing different amounts of work on specific processors. It escalated quickly.

None of this rhetoric is really surprising, sadly. Teachers are being praised even while treated as sacrificial and dispensable — just like essential workers were. We already saw it with healthcare workers, food and supply chain workers, service workers, etc.

TW: Rape, police retaliation In June, Norman, OK cut the police dept. budget by $865,000. In retaliation, an NPD officer doxxed a female city council member, to "teach her a lesson". On Saturday, her duplex was broken in to & her neighbor—mistaken as her—was brutally raped.
