At least where I live, copying a house would not be allowed since the specification falls under copyright. So no?

> real property on the real world like land and physical possessions

That's "real" only because the government enforces it. My point was that the comment I replied to was ridiculous.

How long have you lived in your house? Can I have it now?

Do you have a source which isn't Elon Musk? Using Musk as a source for claims in this seems a bit silly to me.

I wouldn't know. The person I replied to claimed that it was "private information of individuals". If it's public info by law then referring to it as private seems very misleading, wouldn't you say?

> Also why do you need to post links on Twitter, i though you were leaving the platform?

If you change your address, it makes sense to share your new address with contacts? If you change cell provider because they suck you probably would give your new phone number to your contacts. How is this not 100% obvious to you?

Is tracking an airplane stalking? Since airplanes are required to be tracked by law, this seems like an odd interpretation.

This is public information, not private.

What corruption and filth?

Twitter thread said the same thing, or am I missing something?

i.reddit.com is still better for me than anything they released after that. Loads faster than any app I tried as well.

If the lives of 1 000 employees are threatened by a third party I think it's quite reasonable for a company not to continue offer its services to monetary supporters of this third party. Seems like a good business decision regardless of any sanctions.

I wrote some C# code a couple of years ago to generate PDF invoices. Has been running fine since then generating tens of thousands of PDFs. It was pretty straight forward back then, only annoying thing were page breaks when there were a lot of line items, but apart from that I would not consider it a "pain".

What issue have you had? What do you mean by "custom"?

What is boneheaded about it?

Comparing to Sweden, 1 and 2 could happen here as well. But since government subsidies costs over 1200 SEK ($120), the pharmacy will always suggest the cheapest alternative (by law). If doctor prescribes something for $2 but an alternative exists which is only $1 then pharmacy will suggest the one for $1.

Sure. But would you refer to that as the "hype train"?

What is the hype train you associate with typescriptlang.org? "Lang"?

Because the term is not allocated specifically to Apple.

Is it not possible to do serious UI work without fonts adapted to 3D?

Alright, cool. It's a bit confusing to me to create a dependency from your programming language dependency system to the operating system. But whatever works for you.

Wouldn't it be tedious to repackage libraries in Debian format? Why not use cpan or similar directly? Or a local artifact server already supporting existing package formats.

What language are you programming in? Just thinking about how this would work if you are using say React.

Good thing that you could announce that prideness on this other social media then. ;)

So if I tell you that upgrading pretty much all databases is a piece of cake but not include the criteria "unless you want to keep your data" you would say that is a fair statement?

If you claim that process X is trivial one has to make some assumptions, right? Otherwise I could claim that going to the moon is trivial but leave out "assuming you have a rocket, resources, people and anything else you may require".

Claiming that something is a piece of cake as a broad statement without any details is meaningless at best.

> even four 9's give 50 minutes a year to do maintenance work.

Just the security patching of the host OS will likely consume a bunch of those minutes.

Not sure what point you were trying to make apart from that. I am not advocating that people should leave system to rot.

Alright. But the GP comment claimed upgrading PG was a piece of cake. You claim it is not a piece of cake. So it sounds like you agree that the claim that upgrading PG was a piece of cake was misleading.

Meh. That's an argumentation which is just a waste of time. This is a post about Postgres. Thinking about whether or not the title is "fair" towards the software itself is ridiculous and a waste of everyone's time. The title is correct and the software won't feel bad about it. Move on.

I believe you are the one who need to reread the thread. The person I replied to claimed that "Postgresql upgrades are a piece of cake."

But it is not. It's complex to do properly, just like with most if not all other databases. Claiming that it is easy as is just ignorant and spreading such misinformation is bad.

> It's not very fair to say "upgrades on Postgres are hard" if that's practically always true in your use-case, that's all.

That is just nonsense. If it's hard then it's hard. It's not easier because it's practically always hard.

What's next, it's not fair to say that flying to the moon is hard because flying to LEO is tricky? Oh my.

Yes, if the software I work on doesn't work for 5 minutes we have a ton of tickets from customer. We have tens of thousands of customers who pay for it. Not being able to shut down your system for an hour isn't exactly a unique requirement. Technically our SLA is 10 minutes to perform jobs but our customers don't wait that long before creating tickets.

We pay Microsoft to perform upgrades transparently for us. They have multiple servers and they shuffle transaction logs and traffic between them to ensure availability during outages and upgrades. There are 6 copies of each database in different regions. Not sure how that is relevant, though?

Would you consider that a piece of cake? I have doubts. The page you linked to describes that if you follow the instructions on many other blogs you'll have data loss. Not a symptom of a piece of cake process
