1 days 8 dhours ago I created a vagrant setup with 3 postgres installations and created a cronjob to run the sync script @ Postgres synchronization solution

My vagrant setup uses persistent disks and uses ansible to deploy the cronjob and sync script. It is configured by YAML file. I've also installed psycopg2 and I found documentation on how to retrieve the tables in a database in Postgres. It's just a matter of writing the sync algorithm now.

My problem is detecting which side is the winning copy.

When one side changes the data there shall be a different hash and the changed rows are detected. This part I understand.

The problem is detecting which side is the latest change and which side should win. I might need to introduce a version column.

If I had a last updated timestamp field I could use that. Or a version column but I am expressly trying to avoid introducing new columns to the schema. It means it's a lot harder.

Now, it the profiles on domains with default language, appear with questions and content only in the currently selected language (or all, if "Panlingual" is switched on), except for the domains that have no default language.

9 days 7 dhours ago Shortened user profile urls, and cleand up user profile pages a bit. @ 0 > oo

Right now, it is more convenient to give someone a link to one's Infinity profile, and expect them to have comfort to review one's ideas and projects, and start interacting.

In Ireland there's something called the stock market bar, where prices of … (expand) In Ireland there's something called the stock market bar, where prices of menu items are displayed on a television display, the prices change over time over the night. You can get a drink or food cheaply if you wait for it. There's some algorithm which causes the stock market bar to be entertaining to those who visit. Now, society is composed of many people, and each person is contributing a different thing every second. Some people (consumers) contribute demand for products: water, electricity, food which generates work for others. This is a good thing. We need to represent that demand as part of a wave function. So we need some way of detecting demand for things, digital accounting systems can solve this problem. Such as an app on a smartphone with a button. Or digital NFC keyed shops and workplaces. When everyone is watching television, no work is being done and when the kettle is turned on, the use of electricity goes up. I think some people contribute to a better society than other people. I think essential workers such as delivery drivers, chefs and supermarket logistics are very important people for civilized civilization. They allow the rest of society to function. Unfortunately there is no prestige in these positions and they are not respected by the vast majority of society. Unfortunately, educated people are not willing to do these kinds of jobs due to economic incentives mean they can get more elsewhere. People who have wealth are lazier than people who are forced into labour everyday, economically they produce more wealth but they also do less actual work in the world. Feeding 1000 people in a local area is more fundamentally essential than generating $billions in revenues. I don't want to force everyone to be productive, that's the opposite of my goal. I want the people who do the most work to be rewarded by what they can afford. So even a poor person should deserve the output of 1000 rich persons he provides for. The wave function produces a higher number when work is done and a low number when no work is being done. This is a force multiplier. The demand signal is really valuable, when you're in a restaurant and there is a demand for a certain menu item, you cook more of that kind of item in preparation for the demand. Likewise, a laptop or phone manufacturer produces more of the kind of item that has high demand. The demand signal itself is valuable but nobody is paid for it. People should be paid for their demand signal, as it coordinates society and orchestrates best use of resources for mutual profitability. The wave function is added to what money you do have, and this increases the power of your purchases and acts as additional money in the system.
