Upgrade PostgreSQL 9.5.5 to 9.6.1 using Homebrew (macOS)
After automatically updating Postgres to 9.6.1 via Homebrew, the pg_ctl start command didn't work.
The error was something like "database files are incompatible with server".
Database files have to be updated before starting the server, here are the steps that had to be followed:
# need to have both 9.6.1 and latest 9.5.x installed, and keep 9.6.1 as default
brew unlink postgresql
brew install postgresql95
brew unlink postgresql95
brew link postgresql

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Linux on MacBook Pro Late 2016 and Mid 2017 (with Touchbar)

Introduction

This is about documenting getting Linux running on the late 2016 and mid 2017 MPB's; the focus is mostly on the MacBookPro13,3 and MacBookPro14,3 (15inch models), but I try to make it relevant and provide information for MacBookPro13,1, MacBookPro13,2, MacBookPro14,1, and MacBookPro14,2 (13inch models) too. I'm currently using Fedora 27, but most the things should be valid for other recent distros even if the details differ. The kernel version is 4.14.x (after latest update).

The state of linux on the MBP (with particular focus on MacBookPro13,2) is also being tracked on https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux . And for Ubuntu users there are a couple tutorials (here and here) focused on that distro and the MacBook.

Note: For those who have followed these instructions ealier, and in particular for those who have had problems with the custom DSDT, modifying the DSDT is not necessary anymore - se
