A modern game engine that can play the Classic Fallout 1/2 games on modern systems (including mac, linux, iOS, Android). Hoping to bring these games to a wider audience.

> Most weekends rather than recharging for the rest of the week, I end up more tired than I started.

As a parent, it's hard to remember that ending a weekend "recharged" is a common experience.

There are projects that use LSMTs as the storage engine for RDBMS' (like RocksDB); I'm not sure it's accurate to say "they can't be use as an RDMBS".

Development apps are exempt from the requirement. (They are also limited to 100 accounts)

Multiple databases in postgres fundamentally share the same underlying infrastructure (i.e., WAL), and so do not offer much in terms of scalability or blast-radius protection compared to putting all tables in the same database.

I'm surprised to see the Portal listed. We have one for letting the grandparents talk to the kids, and it is the most unreliable piece of technology I've owned. Constant connection issues and laggy UI.

whoa, do you have a link?

That's probably the worst book in the series.

> And it can't be adjusted on the fly, per query.

Sure it can:

   SET LOCAL work_mem = '256MB';
   SELECT * FROM …

I find it pretty odd to speculate that they are experiencing a very specific failure mode of a particular database. Do you even know whether they use Postgres?

Do you have a source for that?

The "good reason" is that considering 12am the "middle of the day" only makes sense if the typical sleeping window was 8pm to 4am (making midnight the "middle of the night").

Adding a NULL constraint isn't zero downtime since PG scans the whole table ensuring that the constraint is not violated.

Perhaps I misinterpreted this part?

> I struggle to consider using it as a data store these days as well with other options on the table.

It sounds like you wouldn't use it for any purposes.

What would you use redis for, if anything?

You can do something like:

   CREATE TABLE xx AS SELECT * FROM EXTERNAL_QUERY('postgres.db', 'SELECT * FROM my_table'));

You can catch and recover from panic()'s in go, too.

It's sensible in San Francisco because having an active renter makes a property worth significantly less.

Why? You basically cannot kick evict a renter or raise their rent.

This is partially due to liability: if someone slips on a wet spill and hurts themselves, Whole Foods is liable if they haven't been taking reasonable measures to clean up such spills in a timely fashion (1/hour). Scanning is a way to later prove that such cleaning was happening.

Good thought, but that might incentivize not replacing worn tires

I replaced the battery in my 2013 about 11 months ago, FWIW.

It's the key beside "1", namely "`"

Charging at night isn't great for using solar power without storage. Ideally, we'd incentivize people to use their car's battery to store excess solar power during the day and smooth out the duck curve (perhaps slowly recharging again at night)

For a much grimmer and soul-wrenching take on this, read Meditations on Moloch by Scott Alexander:

You have the terminology backwards. Coronavirus is not (epidemiologically) airborne, but it can be aerosolized and transmit through the air.

Remote is a possibility, depending on timezone.
