juandazapata··on A new brain implant automatically detects and kills pain in real time
It is. Excerpt from [1]

> An inability to feel pain and temperature often leads to repeated severe injuries. Unintentional self-injury is common in people with CIPA, typically by biting the tongue, lips, or fingers, which may lead to spontaneous amputation of the affected area. In addition, people with CIPA heal slowly from skin and bone injuries. Repeated trauma can lead to chronic bone infections (osteomyelitis) or a condition called Charcot joints, in which the bones and tissue surrounding joints are destroyed.

juandazapata··on GoodJob – a Postgres-based ActiveJob back end for Ruby on Rails
Hi, sorry to hijack this thread, but since you mentioned you're the author, I just wanted to ask you something. Do you have any plans to use a different locking mechanism other than the advisory lock? I'm asking because eventually every postgres-backed app that reaches a certain scale, requires a connection pooler (pgbouncer being the de-facto standard nowadays). We usually run pgbouncer in transaction mode, which doesn't support advisory locks. Any thoughts?
