    In PostgreSQL there is TimescaleDB extension, that allows you to create partitions by any datetime column, and easy way to remove partitions older then X. It’t not 1to1 same as you ask, but a way to achieve sth similar.

    Trolling like a pro

    One thing I like about Star Trek:TNG is how optimistic of a future it paints. Poverty is eradicated, people are generally good and try to better themselves, and the entire galaxy recognizes that 4:3 screens are the best aspect ratio.

    Such an important influence upon so much of the music we know, from Bowie, to electronica, much of the 80s and beyond into modern techno and rap, Florian Schneider was forging a new Metropolis of music for us all to live in. RIP

    I will let out a bit of a secret. I have been running a full IBM System/370 Mainframe on a $5 Raspberry Pi Zero for ~5 years. About 7 times faster System/370. Millions of lines of COBOL JCLs running flawless on a battery. Tested an entire bank’s mainframe COBOL on it.

    Some nerds I know passively dismiss sports. I learned just as much playing Football as playing Dungeons and Dragons. Variety and perspective in all things. Never judge a culture broadly. Their is a beauty in everything, especially when you participate.

    Best Saturday afternoon fun since the quarantine started. My 16yo daughter is on Google Meet with a classmate. They are doing their CS assignment which is to implement a rail fence cipher algorithm. They ask for my help. I go like “hmm ok” but what I am really thinking is OH YES!
