If it's marketed to you, be confident you don't need it.
A lightweight message queue. Like AWS SQS and RSMQ but on Postgres.

Note to self: After a recent system update, my controller stopped working. Add the relevant lines to a udev rules file helped.
Relational (inner) joins are really common in the world of databases, and one weird thing about them is that it seems like everyone has a different idea of what they are. In this post I’ve aggregated a bunch of different definitions, ways of thinking about them, and ways of implementing them that will hopefully be interesting. They’re not without redundancy, some of them are arguably the same, but I think they’re all interesting perspectives nonetheless.
Mynerve is a #handwriting #typeface designed to annotate and comment on documents with a fresh style. Two sets of alternates allow variations when letters are repeated to emulate realistic script, together with some ligatures for frequent combinations. Designed by #CarolineShort

Do Foundation Model Providers Comply with the EU AI Act?
Authors: Rishi Bommasani and Kevin Klyman and Daniel Zhang and Percy Liang
Stanford researchers evaluate foundation model providers like OpenAI and Google for their compliance with proposed EU law on AI.
HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social - There was a stretch when Elon Musk took over twitter and started charging for blue checks (lmao) and some of his sycophants started talking about “Veblen goods.”
A Veblen good is something for which demand increases as price increases, in contact to the neoclassical orthodoxy that demand decreases axiomatically with price.
Veblen goods are things that rich people buy to signal their wealth and status. Jewelry, fancy watches, yachts, Ivy League degrees. Things that cost many thousands or millions of dollars.
The idea that an $8 verification on twitter would ever be a status symbol for the rich was fucking ludicrous.

This page will show you how to turn a $199.95 (Canadian – Suggested Retail) pair of Sennheiser HD 555 headphones into a pair of Sennheiser HD 595‘s that cost $349.95. And all you need is a screwdriver.
I stopped trying to define Unit Tests (I would define it as Feathers defined it) and now exclusively use the terms:
I/O-Based tests: has I/O in the test (accesses clock, database, etc.)
I/O-Free tests: no I/O access in the test (no current date/time, no random numbers, no file access, no network access, etc.)
I'll slip up and use "Unit" when I really mean I/O-Free (and "Integration" when I mean "I/O-Based"), but for the most part I've switched.
There's so much baggage and debate around "what's a unit?", when that isn't always the most important question. I've found it much easier to explain that when doing #TDD, we want to use I/O-Free tests as they'll be sufficiently fast to get feedback in less than a couple of seconds.
Denkmäler des Irrtums - Hoffnung von Gestern - Folklore von Morgen
Wandteller stehen für Heimat, Idylle, Nostalgie, für Windmühlen in Delfter Blau. Was Windmühlen früher waren, sind Atomkraftwerke heute: Energiebauwerke. Ihre ikonenhaften Silhouetten prägen die Landschaft und damit unser Heimatbild. Als Kathedralen einer technologischen Weltanschauung versprachen sie Unabhängigkeit und unendliches Wachstum. Sie sind Zeugnis ihrer Epoche, Relikte des Fortschritts und Zeichen einer Zeitenwende. Die Tage der Windmühlen sind längst vergangen und nun neigt sich die Dämmerung über die Ära der deutschen Atomkraft. Höchste Zeit also, Atomkraftwerke als das zu zeigen, was sie sind:
