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.

Installing Postgres via Brew (OSX) (outdated see top most note)

Outdated note: the process is a lot easier now: after you brew install postgresql you can initialize or stop the daemon with these commands: brew services start postgresql or brew services stop postgresql.

new out put may look like

To have launchd start postgresql now and restart at login:
  brew services start postgresql
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start
