Completely agree: they compete with the worst driver in the area. Bay Area Transit (BART, California) is always stopped due to some moron whose car blocks the tracks. Light rail in east end of Jersey City gets blocked by cars. They're on rails, so they cannot steer around the stopped car or staggering drunk. What doesn't get blocked? London Tube, Singapore transit, NYC MTA, Vancouver's "Canada Line", London DLR, Beijing 1, 2 lines: dedicated guideway not accessible to cars or pedestrians, showing a correspondingly higher accuracy on arrival/depart. CanadaLine and DLR are so organized, they can go fully-automatic (no drivers, no control-room required "go" indicator).

Hmm. Interesting. I appreciate you correcting my correction :)

65C02, not 6502C, IIRC.

I think the Wyoming Protocol bridges access to local-only AI / LLM resources.

Removing ports and openings on a phone is not about cost-saving, entirely: it gets back volumetric real estate for other purposes, and helps seal the phone. Every door needs both a door-skin, and a skin under whatever you're removing; non-removable batteries don't need a shell inside the battery area, and can fill a non-square area. Removing headphone jack and SD slots removes the extra case material, plus gets ~1/4 to 1/2 cc of volume back inside the device. Headphone jacks and SD slots are HUGE and complicate slightly the assembly process. Removing these things wasn't about cost -- it's about getting space to add another camera lens, or a bit more battery, plus fewer holes between the circuit board and whatever water you just dropped your phone into. The BOM (Bill of Materials) cost delta? Trival by comparison.

I'm appalled that this Mayor has seen this problem happen repeatedly, yet hasn't taken steps to fix the maps? Nav companies allow you to post updates and fixes. I've personally posted fixes for Apple, Google (Waze), and Navteq, it's not that difficult.... unless the agenda is to ridicule the people who use technology rather than FIX it. (there's a Mayor involved, so politics are a member of this discussion).

Eufy supports RTSP to NAS, apparently. I don't think I know enough to debate the finer points: http://community.anker.com/t/h... Thee example seems to show a Synology NAS installing an RTSP. Comments show that a year ago, there were issues, but looks like Eufy made a change since then? Again, I do n't know enough, but hey, looks like I have a new thing to try on my Eufy cameras.

It's an interesting question then; the situations I see are the opposite: MySQL is the compatible solution already functioning, and a user would have to choose to change to Postgres.

Hey ("barely able to read"), thanks for being childish. It adds humour.

Maybe I misread your post -- you were asking why we don't change from MySQL to Postgres, since MySQL is the default server in most cases.

You were also converting a question about MySQL into an argument of "Postgres vs MySQL"; I was trying to explain why we don't change to Postgres. See, change-to-Postgres is an important part: there's no obvious benefit that outweighs the cost of changing. The cost of changing is also the cost of changing all of our dependencies to use Postgres.

So "why don't we change to Postgres?" Because it works, it's wellknown (we don't have to explain it), it has more compatibilities in the products our areas use.

Better than Postgres? Who cares? Maybe it is. We haven't had a reason to consider that, we're too busy getting to work, getting things done. p.I don't expect you to read this far; I expect you to take apart small subtle spelling mistakes, but you can take my lack of response to mean "hey, he's working, rather than wasting time debating bike shed paint colour options"

Many of us MySQL users see your Postgres question the same way: why use Postgres? There's 10 users of Postgres, and if I randomly toss both names into a room, I don't have to explain what MySQL is. Hell, half think I said "postfix" and leave the room.

What's MS SQL? OK, I'm kidding, but it makes me wonder if you've checked MySQL lately. I haven't had a reason to check Postgres, so I maybe just-as-satisfied with MySQL as you are with Postgres.

MySQL works for many of us. We don't want to switch to a different database in this tier of performance/cost. Plus, it's well-known outside of its fan-base, and is supported by a host of servers.

I'm not inviting a Postgres-vs-the-world fight here, I'm pragmatic, and the one that works and has better compatibility TODAY is MySQL. Maybe next year, that'll be Postgres among the circles I work in. Today, that tier is held by MySQL, smaller to SQLite, and larger to Oracle.

Bad advice.

Work experience can be faked, and everyone knows that. Degrees are harder to fake.

Now's a bad time to limit your options to "can only work in home country". Internationally, I see more countries require higher degrees to get work visas.

Two years of experience is not weak, by any means, but academic achievement is externally-verifiable.

For any international thoughts, go with the degree: Minimum degree for British Tier-1 Visa is Masters. Chinese see Ph.D as we see Masters, and a simple B.Sc is "well, OK, but weak".

While you're in the academic mode (no sleep, lots of study, brain like a sponge) use that to soak up a few more diplomas.

You're exactly right -- there's some (sic) whining about experience having no value, but this is the value of experience: not only knowing the syntax, but knowing in-depth about a language.

Unless you've worked to maintain code over a very long term, often you don't know the impact of poor coding, or have the insight from that to fix your final deliverable. At the same time, work cannot be outsourced to body-houses based on maintainability, only on functionality at time of payment.

Experience only generates deliverables that are comparatively better in the long-term, but you need to be an employee, rather than an outsource-body, to leverage the benefit of ease-of-maintenance.

The act of shopping by price alone gets you software that will require more work to maintain. Iterative shopping means that you'll get repeated slap-together quick-jobs to get paid. resulting code quality can only degrade, but how can we truly make that known?
