Snowflake/Crunchydata comes close to doing that with the pglake extension. There’s not a mirror function like what Snowflake offers directly but you can come close with a pgcron to…

That's an interesting view though. If Walmart employees somebody who's part time and is on Medicaid are they on Medicaid because of Walmart or because they couldn't commit to enoug…

That's true to a certain degree, but there's a labor supply factor involved too. If companies are rewarded for employing more people it lowers the available supply of labor forcing…

I always like to approach this conversation with a question: Should business that actually do create jobs in practice get bigger tax breaks? For example, if I by some miracle creat…

This is basically my experience. I switched to Mac with the Intel change around...2006 maybe? Converted my entire family. I personally switched to various flavors of linux around 2…

The only reason most of my blog posts have an image at all is because social media seems to want some type of thumbnail image to go with the post. If I don't have something, many o…

That is good to know. I thought it was maintained by Valimail?

This is a highly accurate and unappreciated take. There’s the system you are building…and the system that builds the system or the SDLC. Both are critical. Solid read.

Agreed completely. I also leverage sun shirts quite a bit.

30 years ago I was a lifeguard and got to experiment with this some. I can't tell you the biology specifically, but I have always tanned quickly. The less tan I am, the more easily…

Correction - The less you need it to avoid a burn.

Sun shirts are a great option for me at least.

I typically do the same thing. I only wear sunscreen if I am planning on being in direct sun for an extended period of time where I can't easily get back in the shade. The more you…

That’s pretty slick. These folks need to come to the Carolina Code Conference in a couple of weeks…

If you want a free ticket to come down this year, shoot me a note! We typically bring a bunch of folks from Concord. I came to speak at a meetup over at Flywheel Concord a couple o…

I started using it to run a conference 4 years ago with the intent that it was supposed to be a temporary solution until we built a "real" site. The experience was so good that we …

Yes! IMHO every registrar should be turning this on by default. Every DNS should do this by default until the owner explicitly turns on email sending. It would solve a lot of issue…

Are there any instances of the US sending a tourist to jail in another country?
