    I still use Groups and Marketplace but my home feed is blocked thanks to News Feed Eradicator. Check it out if you haven't heard of it. It's a browser extension that can block the …

    Really cool. It'll be interesting to see how Multigres (by Supabase) shapes up compared to this. I think it's great to have more/better competitive hosted Postgres offerings.

    I believe Mixture-of-Experts is a way for a neural network to group certain knowledge into smaller subsets. AFAIK there isn't a specific grouping goal, the network just figures out…

    Yeah, I believe the firmware on all compatible devices was auto-updated to the new architecture and apparently they can't go back to the old firmware for some reason. What a mess.

    Hey Paul! Try out pg-osc if you haven't already. I use it quite a bit for this type of thing. https://github.com/shayonj/pg-osc

    Can you add https://github.com/shayonj/pg-osc ? It's my favorite PG migration tool.

    Apple Watches have been great for us. Both of my kids (ages 10 & 13) use a cellular Apple Watch which gives them a way to call/text with us and their friends but it doesn't give th…

    I don't think anybody is assuming it will stay clean without continued work to clean and improve the root causes of the pollution. Still worth doing.

    Probably "air" squats, just squatting to parallel or below without any weights.

    Thanks for the reply. My question was specifically about the MVCC feature that creates new rows for updates like this. If you're backfilling data into a new column then you'll like…

    Does pgroll have any process to address table bloat after the migration? One of the (many) nice things about pg-osc is that it results in a fresh new table without bloat.

    They have a PlanetScale logo on the last slide. Is this just to say "Thanks for your work on Vitess!" or are they using the PlanetScale service for some of this?

    If you're looking for an alternative T-Mobile MVNO Tello.com might be worth a look. I used to use it and it was _cheap_. I ended up moving to another MVNO on Verizon because T-Mobi…

    I used Evernote for a decade before switching to Apple Notes a couple years back. It took some getting used to but now it feels seamless. I'd highly recommend it if you don't need …

    Sure, I see your point. I'd just like to see a pattern that works for most that could gain some traction. At the end of the day we're all trying to do the same thing (deploy high q…

    It's always nice to see how other teams do it. Nothing too groundbreaking here but that's a good thing. I did notice the screenshot of "Checkpoint", their deployment tracking UI. A…
