(I'm biased, I'm the author of Chancy) One of the major complaints with Celery is observability. Databased-backed options like Procastinate and Chancy will never reach the potential peak throughput of Celery+RabbitMQ, but they&#x2

If you like Procastinate, you might like my Chancy, which is also built on postgres but with a goal of the most common bells and whistles being included. Rate limiting, global uniqueness, timeouts, memory limits, mix asyncio/processes&

Germany most certainly covers treatment for aggressive adenocarcinoma, and it's covered at 100%. Germany is literally one of the best places in the world for all levels of oncology. This isn't just with the hope of curing someone,

I hate every part of this. The pain and suffering and the struggle for money that family had to go through because the richest country on Earth can't be bothered to provide for its citizens. Rebecca should not have had to use a damn go

I don't really believe this to be an issue - Valve directly contracts CodeWeavers, they developed Proton together, and they've been pretty clear from recent hiring bursts that it was specifically to work on Proton. I have to imagi

I think part of this is just laptop vs desktop. Everyone I know has a macbook, not a soul I know has a mac desktop. Everyone has either a console or a separate "gaming" desktop.

You wish this timeline was Idiocracy. In that universe the president realized he didn't know best, freely admitted it, and recruited the smartest man alive. Even gave him credit for the problems they solved. That would _never_ happen i

API pricing rates probably. If I take a look at my current usage since it came out, it'd be about $12000 CAD if paid at API rates. Ridiculously easy to rack up absurd bills via the API, and I'm mostly just using it for code review

He's wildly financially independent. He had early shares from red hat and geeknet, on top of millions from the linux foundation and corporate work. His net worth is in the tens of millions at least.

As recently as August 8th, I reported a phishing site targeting seniors into installing a pre-configured Atera client (who _also_ failed to respond in a reasonable time) by pretending to be an event invite. It was blatant and obvious phishi

Been awhile since I employed anyone in America (that whole "we're going to annex you" thing) but if I had to hazard a guess, it's the company's portion of their FICA taxes? The company withholds the employee portion

Canadians who identify as religious are overwhelmingly Christian (53.5%)[1], with most of that being Catholic. The next most common religion is Islam at just 4% and Judaism is a paltry 0.9%. You're simply more likely to get anecdotes f

Just as a comparison, here in Montréal I pay $0.051USD/kWh and we're at 99.2% renewables. Large customers pay even less.

Any coalition of banks can. Replacing Visa is a daunting task, but rolling out PoS support and the technical challenges are peanuts compared to actually getting banks onboard. Visa itself was started by a single bank, and Mastercard was sta

With that experience behind you, would you have feedback for Chancy[1]? It aims to be a batteries-included offering for postgres+python, aiming for hundreds of millions of jobs a day, not massive horizontal worker scaling. It both polls (co

Yep. Half the world's finances still spin on CSVs and FTP (no, not SFTP, FTP) If your customers request a format, that's the format you're using.
