If you do that, I can update postgres-searchbox [1] to use it for better frontend experience. [1] https://www.npmjs.com/package/postgres-searchbox

I still can't figure out how pg_trgm is supposed to work for multi-term searches and how to ensure the dictionary table it needs stays up-to-date. Is there a good writeup somewhere…

Me too. Probably the way of the future. Each of us could run a little personal scraper, and the Twitter servers wouldn't know the difference.

For personal consumption, one can always scrape one's feed[1]. I wonder why more of us don't do it. [1] https://twitter.com/feedliness/status/1638580147304505349?s=...

Doesn't that ensure that the most desirable employees leave and the least desirable cling on?

Because remote work was the only work in 2020 and 2021, yet a large majority of businesses continued to function mostly well. Some even exceeded their average results.

I know, right? I thought COVID proved definitively that remote work is not just possible but equal to in-office work. I really want to understand the counterarguments, but all I se…

rqlite is not embeddable, making it harder to colocate data with computation. This post explains it: https://glaubercosta-11125.medium.com/728187331f53

Oh! Well, I'm embarrassed... ^_^ Makes much more sense now, thanks.

I'd find it more convincing if you've been living in, say, Lisbon and charging Seattle prices. If I were hiring devs in Seattle, I'd be delighted to pay them EU wages.

Another annoying breakage in Sway is Android Studio. Submenus appear in random places on the screen even with _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1.
