After 25-years of software development, I still wonder whether I’m using the best possible compiler flags.

I'm based in the US and I tried twice to create an account for Hetzner (a personal account as well as a company / startup account). They rejected all my attempts. I don't quite understand their business model :)

There's always time. Snoot Boot is golden.

I think Wireguard is awesome and I use it exclusively.

That said, when traveling - on hotel wifi - for internet to work, TCP port 443 is always open, thus OpenVPN will always work if you run it on that port.

For Wireguard, there isn’t a reliable always-open UDP port. Port 123 or 53 could work sometimes, but it’s not as guaranteed.

For any other application though, Wireguard would be my first choice.

Wireguard is a protocol and program for making point-to-point VPN connections. It's notable because it's simple (compared to alternatives like OpenVPN), so simple it became a kernel module which made it very fast. These guys implemented it in an FPGA because they could.

I think having a way to build statistics on the join itself would be helpful for this. Similar to how extended statistics^1 can help when column distributions aren't independent of each other.

But this may require some basic materialized views, which postgres doesn't really have.

100%. This has in general become a trend across my company. Less so developers, more so everyone else spitting LLM generated content, and asking real people to review and provide feedback. I mean , WTF.
