Another example: I have this account since 2015 and I started reading HN years before. I still can't downvote.

I don't see why RLS would mandate all your logic living in the DB level. Basically what the database does when you enable RLS is add the RLS policy clause to every query you run against a table that has the policy applied. So if you have a policy saying "A = 'blah'" on table "dummy", a query like "SELECT * FROM dummy WHERE a_col = 123" becomes "SELECT * FROM dummy WHERE a_col = 123 and A = 'blah'".

We use RLS on a multi-tenant application in production. It's used as a secondary level of protection that ensures that one tenant cannot see another tenant's data. The system hasn't been out in production for very long but, so far so good.

You probably need to enable verbatim results. Click on the Tools button (below the right end of the search bar) and select "Verbatim" instead of "All results".

All of it - architecture, operational experience, best practices etc.

Thank you! It's fascinating that I still remember the controls all these years later. One of the very few games I completed - without cheats, mind you!

I think the signing keys are required because of features like "play as you download" etc.

> Most of my family lives in Virginia and all of them except for my father voted for Biden and then voted for Glenn Youngkin as governor. They are working class people and have developed an increasing contempt for the Democratic party they voted for 12 months ago. They voted for him because they wanted normalcy and he's instead embraced the radicals who advise him. I have both Latino and Filipino in laws, and he has lost all of them.

I am genuinely curious here: What did he do wrong? Which radicals advice did he listen to?

Isn't age a factor? I don't understand if the study considered the age of the participants. So, could it be that the people who were vaccinated tended to be older and thus more vulnerable?

I am building a LaTex resume. Why? Because I hate working on my resume and doing it with markup and other stuff makes it a bit more... bearable?

Yeah, I know, I am weird.

Whatever you may think about Snowden, the stuff he does and writes is pretty thought provoking.

Hmm. That's an interesting idea. Seems like they are experts in building relatively small nuclear plants and maintaining them in harsh conditions for years. Wonder if it's feasible though. Maybe they are too slow to build. Maybe they are too expensive.

There are self-centered people from all countries.

I used to feel good/bad depending on what people from my country/region/group etc. do. But it's so silly. Why do I care what another person does - whom I don't even know? It's the same with long lost ancestors.

So now a days I notice such thoughts quickly and remember that it's a silly heuristic that my brain uses and I should ignore it.

FWIW, I was not trying to pass a value judgement on whether Google, on net, is good or bad. It was just a thought I had when I saw the time lapse thing.

But I don't think Google turned internet into a cesspit. Yes, Youtube's recommendation algorithms are pretty bad. But there other actors who deserver a bigger share of the blame.
