@veronica a partial unique index might do what you want, or get you close.
But it might be worth asking is the data model sensible.
@tomasv yeh, that was more my thought, it's a very simple protocol and gives lots of scope for injecting any specifics you wanted.
@tomasv if you used NBD you could sigkill the server or maybe modify it to simulate different types of the disk doing odd things.
@xahteiwi back in the day, I loved Trac for it's simplicity and ability to write reports in plain SQL. As someone who routinely has Jira imposed on me, I can honestly say I hate it with a passion.
For most of the past decade, the Chromium animation team in Google's Waterloo office has gotten an earful from me about about how the we *had* to get to a point where scroll-based animations were not only possible, but reliably offloaded to the compositor.
And they did it, despite *constant* stop-energy from Apple (who still can't do <body> scrolling right 🙄). The results speak for themselves:
What Sam Altman Told OpenAI About the Secret Device He’s Making With Jony Ive
“The product will be capable of being fully aware of a user’s surroundings and life, will be unobtrusive, able to rest in one’s pocket or on one’s desk, and will be a third core device a person would put on a desk after a MacBook Pro and an iPhone.”
OpenAI looking at Microsoft Recall and thinking “consumers love the idea! Let’s make something that records everything you do!” is pretty funny.
Incredible (but predictable) : #Microsoft has blocked the International Criminal Court's access (#ICC) to its services on the orders of the #Trump mafia.
Read that carefully : an international organisation that has no presence in the United States and no US legal rights has had its work tools blocked simply because it disagrees with the Trump administration. 🚩
Get the hell out of it right now.
