I love Postgres but my biggest disappointment with them over recent years, is they are still missing automatic incremental materialized view maintenance. Has been proposed for many years but never implemented, there are extensions but they are not popular which makes me weary to use them. Would be so nice to have in the core, would also be nice to have an explanation as to why they can't do it?? Oracle has had this for many years.

Interesting, over the past few years, I've ignored the critics score and just looked at the audience score - this explains why.

Looks good but what about Named Parameters? Why on earth is Javascript still missing such an important feature? I know you can kind of fake it with objects, but is clunky in comparison.

Steve Jobs duly listed browsing the web, dealing with email, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading ebooks, and enjoying photos. Coincidentally, those were the exact things the iPad was really good at. Agreed * Except Music * I have loved having many iPads, but the speakers have always been terrible and they point the wrong way - about time this was fixed.

One of the basic principals of the EU is freedom of movement between countries. One could argue that imposing such an onerous tax on moving to another EU country breaks this principal, so maybe worth a legal challenge - for someone with a lot to loose.

This is good news, the US should join in aswell in stopping this despicable behaviour by Apple. Apple handicaps browsers because web apps are the only viable alternative to Native Apps which generate huge commission for Apple.

I agree copilot for answering emails is negative value. But I find Google AI search results are very useful, can't see how they will monetise this, but can't complain for now.

I'm surprised Carbon Fibre structural batteries have not been adopted by Car manufacturers - could be a game changer I think.
