The name of the project is a reference to P. G. Wodehouse[0] for those unaware.

Hmm, no.

It’s just like all the other postgres extensions named “pg_foo”, and the clear and obvious choice for “foo” in this case is “clickhouse”.

Unless this is some bad joke that has flown over my head.


I will never un-see it now, tbh

definitely a joke, not even that bad

"I am never wrong, sir" -onedognight

That was my first impression as well.


It’s a bit clickbait-y, but the article is short, to the point, and frankly satisfying. If there is such a thing as good clickbait, then this might be it. Impressive work!

Might as well just post it:

  The topic of the Rust experiment was just discussed at the annual Maintainers Summit. The consensus among the assembled developers is that Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental — it is now a core part of the kernel and is here to stay. So the "experimental" tag will be coming off. Congratulations are in order for all of the Rust-for-Linux team.

This should just be the pinned comment.

Perhaps, except it can have the reverse effect. I was surprised, disappointed, and then almost moved on without clicking the link or the discussion. I'm glad I clicked. But good titles don't mislead! (To be fair, this one didn't mislead, but it was confusing at best.)

This is a great result[0]:

> we found that there are 17 semantic rules in the core semantics which are not covered by the [ECMAScript Conformance Test Suite]

> we succeeded to manually write test programs that hit 11 out of 17 behaviors

> the remaining 6 semantic behaviors are infeasible, that is, they represent flaws in the language standard itself

Remember when Russia agreed[0] to defend Ukraine if they gave up their nuclear weapons?

The pep didn’t mention considering reusing `async` instead of `lazy`. That would’ve conveyed the same thing to me without a new keyword, and would haven’t been similar to html’s usage `async`.


I personally would have preferred "defer import os" instead of "lazy import os". It might be the non-native showing but lazy import feels unserious.



"Lazy" is standard language for this kind of behavior.


Yes, but these examples are not zero-sum. There is no net winning for society from gambling zero-sum, whereas there can be from risky startups.


Here’s my solution: clicking four boxes that form the corners of a rectangle will flip them leaving the rest of the board unchanged. Using this move you can find sets of rectangle corners with more white than red and just click them. This will converge to a solution. If you can find a symmetric board where all rectangle corners have equal red and white then this method would fail. I haven’t found one yet.

EDIT: I found some positions where this technique cannot be directly applied.


It may not be clear from this article, but the Math Academy program in Pasadena Unified has the students in their tract taking the Calculus AP at the end of middle school. It’s a breath of fresh air in a public school system that often leaves the more advanced kids bored.


You have just re-invented XLST.
