more timeofday() and "set time zone" weirdness

I posted earlier with a very complex example. This simple one
gets to the point much faster. timeofday() seems to behave
inconsistently when the timezone is set with "GMT+X" notation.

foo=> select cast(timeofday( ) as timestamp with time zone); set time
zone 'GMT+4'; select cast(timeofday( ) as timestamp with time zone);
timeofday
-------------------------------
2003-08-13 11:01:26.502064-04
(1 row)

SET VARIABLE
timeofday
-------------------------------
2003-08-13 07:01:26.503328-04
(1 row)
I am currently 4 hours behind GMT. The first timestamp reflects
the correct time. After setting the time zone to "GMT+4", I get
a time value that is 4 hours too early. If I were to instead
use "America/New_York" for the time zone, I would not have this
problem. Unfortunately, I cannot use such notation under Cygwin.
BTW -- I am seeing this problem with version 7.2.3 under RH Linux
version 7.3.

Hi there, I'm pretty new to Python and am trying to figure out how to get "will this code compile?"-like code checking. To me this is a pretty basic language/environment requirement, especially when working with large projects. It is *much* better to catch errors at "compile-time" rather than at run-time. One thing I've "found" is the PyChecker module (conveniently embedded in SPE), but it doesn't seem to do that great of a job. ...

The Postgres manual says: The AT TIME ZONE construct allows conversions of time stamps to different time zones. I'd guess most people would think what's meant here is something like "unit conversion", and that the timestamp value stays the same (much like 2 feet becomes 24 inches when it's being "converted"). But: # SELECT NOW() = NOW() AT TIME ZONE 'UTC';

Would like to run the control panel's Internet Date & Time program from VBA - emulating opening it, clicking the Internet Time tab and the Update Now button. I don't really care for the user to see all this. Would just like to sync the system time with the facility built-in to XP and automatically w/o asking the user to go through the steps manually.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
