I don’t see why I (or anyone else) should write a POP3 service these days. If you want one-way transmission of messages, you’d be much better off using something like JSONfeed or RSS. Or if you want a queue, use AMQP.

I guess an animal that poops out coffee is strangely fitting for this project.

Solid upgrade, further refining the DX of using Phoenix LiveView, ships with a solid set of components, a good starting point for any new project.

Yeah, but the target of Proton’s efforts with Gluon is the clients, since Gluon is part of the ProtonMail Bridge software. Their primary targets are Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail and Thunderbird, none of which speak JMAP at present. So Prot

Yeah, it’s a shame. IMAP is not a great protocol (to say the least), but jmap is nowhere near critical mass. At present, its not worth the effort to implement for pretty much anyone, so it’s only idealists like Fastmail who’ve done so anywa

I understand it must be frustrating to have massive companies using your code without paying, while you struggle to make ends meet. But that is the reality of open source. The very reason that all those BigCo’s are using your code is _becau

Shame he apparently only tries one of the very light weights of Iosevka. I love my Iosevka Slab. The “light” weight works great on retina displays imho.

The reason Erlang (and Elixir) are interesting are not the languages themselves (although Elixir is a very nice language in my opinion), but the runtime behind them, BEAM. The BEAM is the brainchild of the excellent engineers at Ericsson, t

Yeah, one could easily argue the opposite: The excellent scaling characteristics of the BEAM means that there’s no need to use extreme performance compromises like AWS Lambda. You can scale an Erlang or Elixir application extremely far by j

No, of course they wouldn’t make such pressure official. But it’s not exactly a secret that the U.S. arms industry has a lot of political pull. Not hard to imagine that such pull extends to “helping” NATO subjects to pick the right supplier

At least in Denmark, it’s a bit of an open secret that the Danish government is unusually efficient and unanimous whenever decisions are made that help U.S. interests in some way or another. Like how Denmark have joined pretty much every U.

Massive pressure and incentives from the U.S. Just like everyone else who want to be in good standing with NATO. The “selection process” in Denmark was a total sham, most of the competitors didn’t even bother submitting a bid, because it wa

Is it just me, or wouldn’t their `git log | grep…` one-liner count commits to all branches that were eventually merged to master, not just direct commits to master? If so, unless they always squash when merging, this just shows that they ha

I don’t see how you can equate this with reviews. Reviews are almost useless these days, because they can be (and are) spammed by bots and only a small minority of real buyers post reviews. But since returns are handled by Galaxus themselve

Any product announcement is an ad. This happens to be an interesting innovation in online retail, quite on point for this site.

Yeah, no idea why people are upvoting this. Reads like a listening to the internal jokes of a tight-knit group that you don’t know.

Davos is really a nice town the rest of the year when Schwab and his elitist circus is not there. Shame its name has become a metonym for WEF.

Not sure I’d call a terminal-based RSS reader “suckless”, but to each his own, I guess. Personally, I prefer using one that renders HTML and shows pictures :)

If you think Safari is the new IE, you have definitely forgotten (or not experienced) how bad things were with IE6. They didn’t just have a few bugs in their browser implementation or were slow to implement new features. Basic, crucial CSS

Imagine being so well-connected that someone shows up to post a $250M bail bond on your behalf. Must be nice.

Looks nice, but since they can’t be bothered to get the Mac app properly signed, I can’t be bothered to try it. Sorry, but with the malware threat level being what it is, getting the app signatures right is table stakes.

A bit ironic that they call them “stablecoins” when they keep falling over.

That they were late to the party doesn’t really matter _now_. It might have mattered five years ago. As for the config, one might argue that reconfiguring replication isn’t a common task, usually something you do when setting up the cluster

Again, not sure what you’re talking about here. `pg_hba.conf`? Normally you don’t need to modify that regularly (if ever). Normal access control can be done with GRANTs, just like MySQL or Oracle. As for streaming replication, that was adde

Not sure what you’re talking about wrt. access control, but PostgreSQL replication works just fine for most people, and the lack of in-place upgrades isn’t really a problem unless you’re working on a massive scale with no downtime tolerance
