I'm still on 9.x in some systems and it's running great. I find this kind of sentiment a bit weird anyway: PostgeSQL 17 has been out for a couple of weeks, I'm certainly not in a rush to upgrade anything unless I need to. Never touch a running system is as valid as ever and on top of that I'm not a full-time DBA itching to upgrade as soon as possible. With containerization it's also more common to have multiple and right out many DB instances, I won't be going through all of them until someone requests it. Security updates is a completely different matter, but major versions? Don't get the rush, the developers will come around sooner or later.

Probably Pidora, which is also not an inviting name in Russian (connotation with "fag").

German is a funny language. To be speaking and writing proper German you need to learn all of German, but in addition to that, you'd need Latin grammar to build some plurals, English, French and to lesser extent Italian and Turkish pronunciation for a ton of words, understanding of English idioms, since marketing and movies don't bother with translating taglines anymore, and quite a bit more. It's especially noticeable when you have little kids and have to correct them constantly when they are trying their newly acquired reading skills on billboards along the road.

Sometimes, those rules just don't make any sense. I'm especially amused about the euro sign in German which by its whole design and intention is supposed to be written before the number (€50,00), but is instead written behind the number with a space included (50,00 €). The former looks way better and more concise for me, but maybe the reason is just a historical one, the Germans have been writing "50 DM" for decades after all.

On a different note, it's somewhat amusing that "i.e.", "e.g." and "etc." are considered English without any clear alternative in the language, while otherwise Latin-loving Germans haven't adopted those at all (in fairness, "d.h.", "bspw." and "usw." are just fine and I appreciate it when real German is used consistently).

€ is a unit. Would you write you're ft6 tall or weigh lbs170 or that it's °F77 outside?

The weird and exceptional thing is rather that $ is put before the number, which is out of step with pronunciation.

And still, dollars, pound, yen and basically any currency with a "funny" symbol put it in front. Seems it's not about pronounciation anymore, but more about tradition.

> which by its whole design and intention is supposed to be written before the number (€50,00)

What makes you think that? The intention of the € symbol is to be used exactly like other currency notations before it in each respective language. In English it’s before the number, but in many others including German, it is after (50,00 DM).

Perl was literally reborn with "Perl Best Practices". Perl::Critic has more rules that you'd ever wish for, Perl::Tidy is the most configurable code formatter there is. This had been true for 10-15 years already. Which part do you find painful and is this your idea of "no decent tooling"?

It says in the README it leverages Dive. Basically it's a visualization for Dive's JSON output, which I'd very much prefer to exist as exactly that -- something I can pipe Dive's JSON into. No need to wrap Dive for that.

Dive doesn't have a JSON output, I had to use the internal API to do it.

What do you mean? It's literally there:

  $ dive -j /dev/stdout alpine:edge
  Image Source: docker://alpine:edge
  Fetching image... (this can take a while for large images)
  Analyzing image...
  Exporting image to '/dev/stdout'...
  {
    "layer": [
      {
        "index": 0,
        "id": "blobs",
        "digestId": "sha256:8980900bae6f916f9dc1158ed71ee72566d7ad3f47f63fe19ba3ab7a4ef1a432",
        "sizeBytes": 7738376,

      }
    ],
    "image": {
      "sizeBytes": 7738376,
      "inefficientBytes": 0,
      "efficiencyScore": 1,
      "fileReference": []
    }
  }

You can certainly argue that Adolf's diminutive has been used for Adidas: ADI DASsler.

I believe that's the case, it also settled any arguments over pronunciation - it's not A-dee-das as I used to think!

"make an http request" as in fetch() would be OK, but doing "classic" XHR in an interview? Hell no, I've got better things to do.

>> Banning encrypted messaging (almost passed)

> It's a positive thing that it was brought up and struck down.

You see, the thing about european legislation is that certain stuff, especially stuff people oppose, is proposed over and over again until it passes. It costs almost nothing to re-propose things like killing net neutrality or banning end-to-end encryption, but it's very costly to oppose them. Which the politicians and lobbyists know and use to their advantage.

That does not sound particularly specific to the EU to me?

Well at least people's voices are being heard, not something I can say for every country, federation, or union.

I don't think the EU has ever had net-neutrality as you'd call it in the US. The infrastructure and internet service are separated in most places which has similar outcomes. (and mobile data is wicked cheap for other reasons)

Most notably, this means a bunch of stuff gets "zero-rated" (e.g. free unlimited facebook/whatsapp with any phone plan, but other data is limited), which was explicitly called out as anti-competitive when the fight was going on about net neutrality in the states.

I believe zero-rating was contested in at least one EU country (the Netherlands) as well. I can find at least one source, which also references net neutrality legislation: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-deutsche-telekom-netherla...

The new Slack UI is atrocious, especially with many workspaces. It's a screen for screen copy of Microsoft's Teams and I wish I was exaggerating!

I wish they would just leave the UI alone. Who asked them to change it ? None of their users for sure. They can pay the UI cool kids to make a "Slack Hipsters" edition that can have all the jazzy shit for folks who like to waste their time while corporate and power users can stick to what works.

Careful, you’re digging at the great HN conflict. Everyone making these pointless and disruptive UX changes logs off at the end of the day, jumps on HN, and complains about other products’ pointless and disruptive UX changes.

Product team needs to add value

The list of things I hate about it is longer than the list of things I like about it. Certainly the workspace selector is miles better. Almost everything else is worse.
