You should look up the number of lawsuits German politicians dish out for being criticized online. Funded by the tax payer of course.

Except it does mean exactly that if you have money

Postgres does index de-duplication. So it's likely that even if you change the strings to enums, the index won't be that much smaller.

> Furthermore, why have two indexes with the same leading field (status)?

That indeed is a valid question.

Can we please stop calling it "sideloading"? It's simply "installing" software on hardware that I own, and that I should have full control over.

No relational database implements syntax highlighting. The tools you use to write and execute SQL queries implement that.

Or use a hand as a 5-bit integer, then you can count to 31 :)

It's hard to actually count using more than 4 bits/hand though. The quickest methods that require the least dexterity are those that count the knuckles (which are actually used in some counting traditions, unlike binary finger-counting).

I was going to refer to the new Jolla Phone, but then I realized that it doesn't have a headphone jack.

Furiphone lost theirs as well.

It does if you look into the README for Firefox

The convicted felon in the White House doesn't give a shit about drug criminals - he just pardoned one. He is after Venezuela's oil.

Is Trump really an oil guy?

It’s his second term, and he doesn’t care about the GOP after him, so it’s not like he needs funds for the next election, or needs to deliver on the economy.

And as I understand it he doesn’t have long term bonds of friendship with Texan oil folks.

Nepotism-wise, his kids only need one job each, that’s all squared away already. Trump needs allies who can keep him and his kids out of jail, but oil companies don’t have any super powers in that area.

So what's his "Drill, baby, drill" about? He thinks renewable energy is the something sent by the anti-christ. The only energy source he accepts is burning fossil fuels or nuclear power.

You might be right, but supporting drilling in the US means well paid jobs, and exports, at minimal costs.

Invading another country, though? To create foreign jobs and increase imports? Not what you’d expect from Mr Tariffs imho.

Would be cool if that could be integrated into Postgres :)

I was just about to ask some friends about it. If I’m not mistaken, Postgres began using ICU for collation, but not string matching yet. Curious if someone here is working in that direction?
