https://pypi.org/project/pq/ looks similar, although it looks like they use `SKIP LOCKED` instead of advisory locks. I'm not sure what the tradeoff is.

If you're working with Ruby I have had good experiences with Que[1], which implements a pattern similar to the OP using advisory locks. [1]: https://github.com/que-rb/que

Six and a half years ago I launched https://www.masteringmodernpayments.com/ , a book to teach people how to integrate Stripe with their Rails app. It generated almost $80k of revenue, mostly front loaded but with a really l

Yes. You can say "FROM scratch" at the top of your Dockerfile to build an image from nothing (it's actually a no-op). You can also set up a docker registry using open source software not distributed as a docker image. There a

Personally I like my routers smart and in a rack in the basement. Agreed on the lack of speaker and microphone though.

Not the OP but I wouldn't be surprised if they use both for different purposes. Postmark has extremely high delivery rates but is very particular about primarily sending transactional email like account updates, receipts, etc. They d

Sendgrid uses a mail transfer agent like Postfix or PowerMTA (I don't actually know what they use but I wouldn't be surprised if it was PowerMTA) to talk to receiving email servers via SMTP. It's not hard to set up the techni

You could run an experiment and track the data. Three cohorts: paid, free, trialing. Data points per cohort: customer support tickets per 100 accounts, conversion rate, ARPU, LTV, churn %. I think you'll be surprised at the results. At

I'm not convinced that BTS had anything to do with the drop in SIDS. The BTS campaign occurred at a time in the US when smoking rates started falling off a cliff. Between 1990 and 2018 smoking has dropped 42% [1]. Between 1992 and 2017

The thing about SIDS is that it's basically a catch-all for every infant death that can't be explained otherwise. The relative risk is already very low and didn't really change after the back to sleep campaign started.[1] If

We tried to force the issue with both kids. Our first we kept in a rock'n'play (all of them recalled since then) for way too long, and then almost as soon as we put her in the crib she was on her belly. Our second we used a Snoo,

As someone with two tiny humans, "neat" doesn't really describe it :) That shift you see from mostly random to mostly predictable represents not only good healthy sleep for the kiddo, but also a return to good healthy sleep f

Yes. All of that said, if you're an insider with equity you'll have access to a 409A valuation, which does take all of that into account when coming up with the number. It's closer to what the market will pay for common sto

CGI is just running a program in response to a request. Things about the request are put into environment variables and POST/PUT bodies are on stdin. Your program writes HTTP headers, two newlines, and the response body. You don't

I live in a smallish suburb (~5,000) of a small city (~150,000). I have access to Comcast. That's it. AT&T won't even sell us a DSL line, just satellite. There are no WISPs within range. LTE is far too expensive for our usage

SQLite databases might fit the bill. Fairly lightweight. Can talk to them in basically any language. Instead of templates you copy the database file and issue some UPDATEs.
