Anecdotally, I've heard of successes using it at relatively large companies for syncing pg to elastic. I don't have first hand experience.

There's also pgsync[0], but again, this is just from some preliminary research on my part, can't speak to relative or absolute quality for either option.

520 down, 24 up. Comcast cable near Detroit. About $100/mo. They email me occasionally to say I can get better download speeds if I upgrade my modem, but I haven't bothered yet.

Asking a chatbot for comment on a news article about it? That might be a journalistic first.

I learned programming with PHP back in the mid-2000s, and worked professionally with it until about two years ago. I haven't touched it since 7.4 or so, except to help some friends with WordPress sites and such.

It might be me getting old and grumpy, but PHP seemed to peak in terms of usability and syntax around 7.2. Lots of the new type syntax in the article is... inscrutable to me. I'm all for strong typing in general, and I don't miss the type coercion and weirdness of PHP, and I'm glad to see it continue to move forward. It's just the syntax.

Back when PHP 7 was being discussed, I followed the arguments on the mailing lists closely and was rooting so hard for those advocating adding much more explicit and strict typing, and I remember me and a coworker getting rather upset at the old timers like Zeev who were adamantly opposed (and who mostly lost the fight). I'm only 33, but I've got nearly 20 years history with PHP, and I suppose now I'm the old timer.

My last project in PHP was forced by business concerns to support PHP 5.4 through (at the time I left) 7.4. The massive pain required to make that work might have colored my perceptions of the whole situation.

Hey Chris, just wanted to say I love Dignity, and enjoy listening to you on various podcasts. The Econtalk episode and the recent Lamp Magazine ones were great!

Arizona prints the price on the cans to discourage that. In my experience, that has worked.

But you're dead. Digital copy of you != you.

Always sign your commits! gpg is a pain but once you set it up you never have to think about it again.

You could with a constitutional amendment, which would absolutely be a requirement for much of the GP proposal.

Seems like you might have waited a week to post this and focused on finishing your marketing site.

The docker containers have been maintenance free for me and run great on intel and apple cpu.

What’s the situation these days with GUSD? I have single-digit thousands in an interest account (not defi) in that currency and it seems to be holding steady. Any reason I should be concerned, aside from the custodian company going belly up?

Also in Michigan, and my perception is the same. I don't remember seeing them at all in my area (fairly rural exurbs) growing up. Camping in Ohio and seeing them is a vivid memory of my childhood. Now, as an adult in more or less the same area (though much closer to the city), I see them all the time in my yard.

Have you considered offering the service as an API?

I highly recommend the audiobook edition read by Richard Poe. He captures the surrealism and beauty and insanity of the book, especially The Judge.

It does have stats for Developers' Primary Operating System[0]:

Yeah, I returned them! Thanks for the heads up regardless.

From a sibling comment:

Make sure if you get bone induction headphones that you test them out in louder environments before running or getting them dirty. For me, I had to turn them up so high when outside with normal street noise that they gave me a pretty terrible headache.

I have a concept2 rower as well. I didn't buy it for the SDK[0], but I love that they keep the tech minimal and provide tools for third party developers. It's a company I'm glad to support.

There seems to be a growing consensus around the idea that alternative search engines aren't viable without their own browser. Cliqz (acquired by Brave), DDG (obviously successful by some metrics, but not a real threat to Google), Kagi (pops up from time to time here)[0]. Given that Google considers it worth tens of billions of dollars a year to remain the default on Apple devices and Firefox, the default search advantage is clearly quite important.

I'm not sold on the idea that convincing people to install a different browser will be easier than teaching them to install an extension or choose a different default search provider, but clearly the latter isn't paying off.

This hardly works at all for me. Spotify will happily shuffle the most recent 75-100 songs on my Liked Songs list, but something from 2012? Forget about it.

Those two things are in no way comparable.

That there is no solution to be suggested is sort of the point.

There's mention below of a forthcoming Android app to alert people that they're being followed by AirTags, but no mention I saw of any protection for those who simply do not own a smartphone. The thought that people who likely have chosen to purposely opt out entirely from the always-connected ecosystem are now subject to unwanted tracking with no way to opt out or even be informed is frankly despicable.

Anecdata, but in my experience most normal people (i.e. not extremely politically engaged) understand they're usually choosing between imperfect (often even less-bad) options. I don't get the sense that there's a ton of cognitive dissonance required until you get into the Very Online subset of people for whom politics is their life.

I think where the phenomenon you describe is extremely visible is in elected officials, especially at the federal level. You see an example now with Liz Cheney, who is in the process of transforming from a fairly generic Republican into a fairly generic Democrat as her political incentives change. The same can be observed going the other way with JD Vance moving from generic institutional Republican into post-liberal Trumpist (though perhaps the signs were there for those with eyes to see). The question then is whether the convictions were real or merely convenient.
