This has nothing to do with Gruber fans or not. Your take just isn't as smart as you thought it is. Highly regarded newspapers, tv programs or books have updates / retractions all the time as even with the best fact checking it&#x

That's very short term thinking. Building up local expertise, creating jobs and spending money locally instead of sending it oversees as licensing fees is most likely the better use of tax payer money. What makes you think that licensi

You don't need any Google scripts for indexing on your page. You can verify your domain Google Search Console and supply the url to the sitemap or wait for them to auto-discover you but that's about it.

Because if you say "News feed" people are thinking Facebook or Twitter feed. RSS is widely known as it was already integrated in browsers before as a "RSS" button if the site advertised that in the html head.

Having structured feeds of any kind is already a niche and much appreciated when it happens. How to call them correctly technically based on some specs is not the hill to die on. We call them RSS feeds, RSS reader apps even if it might be i

Correct, what I meant was that SolidQueue was the first database-backed default adapter over the usually common Redis + Sidekiq combo for ActiveJob.

We are very heavily using Postgres as a queuing system in production for many years already, not just some quiet background tasks but with millions of tasks in the queue at any given moment. I have yet so see any issues with that so I'
