Well, okay, and that a strong gravitational source would not PULL EVERYTHING UP OFF OF THE PLANET'S SURFACE, because the planet would be pulled just as hard as the things, sheesh.
The main thing that bothers me about "3 Body Problem" so far is the suggestion that if lots of science experiments started having weird results suddenly, physicists would be all "well, science is broken, might as well pack it in", as opposed to "whoa, this is amazing, we need more funding to study this phenomenon!".

computers used to yell at us when we connected to the internet, but in our hubris we ignored them.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, most of y’all don’t know what it’s like to be a fediverse developer of a popular project and have to deal with all the negative feedback and personal attacks
Let’s be nicer to the devs of the fediverse who have been doing this mostly unpaid for the greater good, all I ask is for basic respect!
Anfora, Prismo, Firefish and dozens of other projects have been abandoned by their devs, and I’d bet the fediverse mentality towards devs is part of the reason

I accidentally found a security issue while benchmarking postgres changes.
If you run debian testing, unstable or some other more "bleeding edge" distribution, I strongly recommend upgrading ASAP.

Discord just announced a change to their Terms of Service, which restarts the clock on when you can opt out of binding arbitration. All you gotta do is read the "Opt-out" paragraph of Section 16 & send an email to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com from the email address you use to log in which states something as simple as this:
I am confirming that as of the date of this email, I am choosing to opt out of binding arbitration to settle disputes with Discord.
Boosts pls.
