We Finally Know What a Dinosaur’s Butthole Looks Like jwz

Oct 222020
 

It’s rare to get a look at something soft and fleshy on a dinosaur…as your mom well knows. On the fossil, just below the tail, the butthole appears as a “blackish mottled ovoid area,” the paleontologists write.

Oct 202020
 

One of the oldest artistic depictions in the Nazca Lines, a mysterious collection of geoglyphs preserved in southern Peru, was discovered during recent remodeling efforts within this UNESCO World Heritage site. More than 2,000 years ago, people in this region created a 37-meter-long outline of a sprawling cat on a hill slope according to a statement released on Thursday by Peru’s Ministry of Culture.  The Nazca geoglyphs, some of which stretch across hundreds of meters,…

Advertising powers the Web. What if it just doesn’t work? Internet Archive Blogs

Oct 112020
 

Postgres is an amazing RDBMS implementation. Postgres is open source and it’s one of the most standard-compliant SQL implementations that you will find (if not the most compliant.)

Jonathan Katz: PostgreSQL Monitoring for Application Developers: The DBA Fundamentals Planet PostgreSQL

Oct 112020
 

I am an accidental DBA, with a huge emphasis on “accidental.” I came to PostgreSQL as an application developer who really liked to program with SQL and use the database to help solve my problems. Nonetheless, these systems would enter into production, and as such I had to learn to support them. PostgreSQL monitoring and performance optimization is a vast topic. In fact, I’ll read content like what my colleague Greg Smith wrote on benchmarking…

Federal Agents Used Toxic Chemical Smoke Grenades in Portland The Intercept

Oct 112020
 

By the time she was standing in front of the federal courthouse on Lownsdale Square on the night of July 25, Olivia Katbi Smith had already been exposed to tear gas several times. On those previous occasions during the Black Lives Matter protests in Portland, Oregon, this summer, being gassed had been very unpleasant: leaving her coughing and making her eyes and nose run and sting. But this time, standing about 30 feet from the…
