pg_start_backup/pg_basebackup are used when doing an rsync-style copy. You'll end up with a copy of the data directory, rather than a dump. You can then start up a server instance directly in the resulting backup directory.

You don't need to be offline to make a copy of the data directory. You can do that ahead of time, keeping all the WAL segments up until the point that you make the switch. (See also https://www.postgresql.org/docs&#x2F

Yep, I've had that experience trying to buy petrol in France too. That's the only place I can remember running into a problem with it, actually. Never anywhere in the UK.

It's really quite a nice crash reporting product. I think that outweighs the closed-source point for a lot of folks.

We had a few friends ask us to help them scan old photos that they have laying around, and it gave us the idea to build this app. It lets them scan their photos by themselves easily, without having to own a scanner, and without having to s

This reminds me of Breeze[1] from Basecamp. That service no longer exists, but it always seemed like a great idea to me. Your landing page design is really nice, too. [1] https://signalvnoise.com/posts/3391-launch-base

Perhaps I've just been lucky, but I've been working in the US for the last 15 years, and the policy at all 4 of the companies I've worked for has been: "if you're sick, don't come in". None of the companie

If your app provides a way to buy something that could use an in-app purchase (e.g. not physical goods), but you try to use your own method of doing so, then Apple will reject your app during review. The review guidelines specifically di

We've been working on a new mobile app, Ceremony, to make it easy for people to collect and share photos at weddings (or similar events). We still have some features to finish up, but it has reached a point now where we think it's

This looks great. It's clearly still in the early stages, but what's written so far seems to have a lot of really good advice about how to set up a Core Data stack. (Which, incidentally, is very different from where the default

It might get fixed. I just (last week) got a letter in the mail from Mazda saying there's a software update available for the info/nav in my Mazda3. Haven't had a chance to take it in yet to get the update applied, but I&#x

For quick changes to the most recent commit, a handy alias to put in your ~/.gitconfig is: fixup = commit --amend -C HEAD That way you can stage whatever you forgot, and then do `git fixup` to update the latest commit with it.

In cases like this I usually copy the relevant test file to somewhere outside the repo, and refer to that path directly in the bisect cmd. That way you don't have to worry about anything conflicting with the new test that you need for

I like the pattern in the example a lot. We recently started doing something just like this in a Rails app at work that has to make quite a few API calls per request. In the right circumstances it makes a big difference in response time.

I don't think it's bad faith at all. They're up front about what tools the system is built on. It's more about whether it makes the most sense for you to build and host something like this yourself, or pay for what you use on a service th

That's pretty cool. I've been using something a bit similar for a while too, just to run my changes through PEP8 ( http://tech.myemma.com/python-pep8-git-hooks/ ). Mine uses the output of `git status --porcelain` to get the changed files,
