Yeah, I have stopped basically all consumption except from youtube, which itself also has a tendency to expand to fill all available time. I dont use shorts that much, but there is just much good content being released as well.

How the hell do you have a commerical haskell binding project?

Not that difficult if you go for haskell shops and also do freelancing on the side and get to pick the language.

yeah, now that you mention it i remember a similar issue for us on postgres where we transitioned tables without primary key to being primary key serial.

I will try out CoMaps. Tried OsmAnd and it takes forever to get gps position on my iphone.

and it has been so damn slow for a number of years now, it drives me insane.

You are absolutely right to push back on this. Let me think for a moment.

I have no horse in this race, but CDC sounds more robust? It will capture all changes, regardless of how the application maintainers use the database.

I prefer following:

1) CDC for archiving/recovery or as an audit log

2) downstream consumers consuming a business-events table. Kind of like inverted event-sourcing pattern.

CDC is sound for sure but only in the lowest technically sense. Downstream consumers consuming business events gets you all the benefits of event sourcing(Namabilty, Replayability etc) while keeping relational guarantees and transactional safety.

Outbox events are my strict preference over CDC, but CDC was often easier. (Deal with the business logic downstream and all)

One would think. Conceptually they are nice, practically it gets very dirty across different databases + all the infra around them. My dislike stems from the operational complexity and years of trauma around it.

It happens, but rarely this bad, as they would lose customers.

Some extremely touristic areas can get away with anything.

we have 7 coworkers we have been trying to re-instate for nearly 4 months now. All using the same google workspace sso, so there really was no special reason to ban them...

I think its kinda cool, but I dont really get it? So I can gather and search my browser history + most websites i have visited?
