Indeed, this should really go into the PostgreSQL docs, possibly even be raised on their mailing list to get it eventually included into the official docs, maybe somewhere around here:

Nerdy stuff? Wtf?

What are you, a school bully like the ones we see on American shows?

> I love that infinitely nerdy stuff like this can still make it to the HN homepage (there's still hope!).

I can't wait for "Subtly Bad Things Linux May Be Doing To 2048"

This isn't helping.

> infinitely nerdy stuff

Since when is "in depth" and "technical" equivalent to "infinitely nerdy"? We're professionals using that kind of information for work, not nerds doing infinitely nerdy stuff.

Since when is "anti-social" and "nit-picky to the point of absurdity" equivalent to "expressing critical thought"?

As a professional using this kind of information, I have to strongly disagree. This is infinitely nerdy stuff, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

I highly doubt he/she meant it in a derogatory way.
