If the description and reporting is accurate, this person did everything right and was cleared medically (initially), yet sadly still passed away. Unlucky? Bad helmet design? Incompetent concussion assesssment?

Are there still reasons to use PostgreSQL?
I like the simplicity of SQLite's "a file is all you need" approach so much, that I started to converge all my projects to SQLite. So far, I have not come across any roadblocks.
Can anyone think of a use case where PostgreSQL is better suited than SQLite?
MySQL has limited spatial data/function support versus PostGIS extension.

Indeed. As has been pointed out before, the number of possible chess positions easily, vastly dwarfs even the wildest possible estimate of the number of atoms in the known universe.
Not true if we’re talking sensible chess moves.

I conject that with programming languages that do not crash schemas used for validation are relatively unimportant. xᴍʟ schemas suffer from the fact that one can not specify that an element may only appear once.
In fact, the purpose of the maxOccurs indicator in xsd is to specify that an xml element may only appear once.

It has ALL of the advantages of xᴍʟ.
What advantages does XML have over what? Whatever you’re saying, it’s not as self-evident as you think it is. Respectfully, I think this standard needs to be reframed as version 0.0.1

A new better alternative definition of Terse:
The act of proclaiming a “new standard” without any user community to speak of.

I was curious about your defense of Matt's behavior in this thread but your empathy makes sense given that you work on a similar project that you describe as:
> A static site that is 100% free and open-source, competing with several businesses operating scammy subscription models.

Is this a competitor to Wordpress? Can you elaborate more about how the competition in this space uses scammy subscription models? It might help to illustrate the issues in the industry for outsiders like me.
Off topic, but I'm a bit of an amateur musician myself. I try to check out other musicians that I encounter, but I wasn't able to find anything about you or your music online. Do you have a bandcamp or something similar? The contrabass trombone is a really interesting instrument.
Semi-pro, friendo. I don't do the socials. Wish I played a more sought-after instrument though.
You surely know that scammy subscription models are rife in every space. That's why open-source champions like Matt are an inspiration. But nobody's perfect, so have a little grace.
I've been using it for months now, and the playlists generated are my top listened to playlists - I'm literally listening to them every day. Personally I'm super happy with it, and a few friends have also been using it quite successfully.
