I'm trying to find raw, recent data on the number of deaths (from all causes) by country. Essentialy the source data for a chart like https://www.ft.com/__origami/service/image/v2/images/raw/http%3A%2F%2Fcom.ft.imagepublish.upp-prod-eu.s3.amazonaws.com%2F6e7ccec8-ab22-11ea-a766-7c300513fe47?dpr=1&fit=scale-down&quality=highest&source=next&width=1260

I can't find it, for example the WHO website lists it only up to December 2019. I would appreciate if someone would put some links to such datasets, preferrably for countries affected the most by the pandemic.

I'm having a pretty terrible experience using Github for a project with many comments per issue (30-150). The problem is with searching through issue comments:

1. The issue search doesn't display snippets of comments

2. The global search https://github.com/search displays only a single snippet per issue

3. Because of 1., I have to open the found issues one by one. But before I can "CTRL+F" I must click "Load more..." several times to ensure I'm searching through all the comments. Even finding and clicking all the "Load more..." links is challenging since they are displayed in various places and sometimes there's more than one such link.

Just disabling the "Load more..." links (ensuring all comments are loaded) would be a big help for me. Alternatively, I could use a 3rd-party Github client with a better search.

Anyone knows about something that could help?

Both PostgreSQL and MySQL are poor in that regard, especially PostgreSQL: after many DELETEs/UPDATEs, the disk space is not released to the OS, and the re-use of the space by the DB engine is often not working well due to the fragmentation. The only option is rebuilding/DROPping the whole table which requires downtime.

I'm essentially looking for an SQL engine that would be suitable as a storage for a queue server. I would like it to release the freed disk space to the OS immediately, even if this requires making extra I/O.

I see that MariaDB comes with multiple engines, maybe some of them could work like that?

I know that Amazon's Aurora is even worse than raw MySQL/PostgreSQL.

I'm looking for some examples of products offered both as SaaS and a self-hosted option. Is one-time payment the common method? Does the price should depend on a size of a company?
