I was going to make something based on triggers and PL/Python, but it seems someone has invented a better solution:
PgHook listens to PostgreSQL logical replication events and posts changed row information as JSON to webhooks. - PgHookCom/PgHookGitHub
On August 15, 1997, @Migueldeicaza announced the start of GNOME on the GTK mailing list¹. Twenty-eight years later a lot has changed, but we continue to develop and iterate on “a free and complete set of user friendly applications and desktop tools… based entirely on free software.”
To help us continue this work far into the future, we hope you join us in celebrating our birthday by becoming a Friend of GNOME today! 🎂

Cestou tam jsme byli 3x na SCH. Bylo to asi 800 km s tím, že jsme chtěli dojet s cca 50 % baterky. Tesla to všechno spočítala a odnavigovala. Cestou zpátky přes Polsko 2x SCH a jednou tohle:

We published an exciting release today. It is the first one that includes the work done by new Weblate team members, namely Karen on the frontend and Kartik on the backend. We are excited to have them on our team.Weblate
Small follow-up question, just to make sure I understand it right:
If I'm correct, translations failing *enforced* checks (not "normal" checks) will be forced to have the "needs editing" flag and thus will automatically be blocked if you set Settings -> Workflow -> Translation quality filter to "Skip translations marked as needing editing", with no way for the editor to override this, right? Because that is the behaviour I need, I need people to stop submitting broken translations :)

@sesivany Some would argue that you're making bets on Elon's stuff that isn't publicly traded, like SpaceX.
Others argue that you're betting on future returns.
Others just believe Elon is some kind of wizard but I doubt he's involved much in the day-to-day at TSLA anyway. Some people don't even realize that he was not the founder.
A big announcement:
#MapComplete is now available as #Android app on the #Google #Playstore
Grab your copy here: play.google.com/store/apps/det…
(If you don't like google, the Android version is alson available on #FDroid: f-droid.org/en/packages/org.ma…
Or you can use the web version on mapcomplete.org)
Thematic, editable maps based on OpenStreetMapf-droid.org
@jandi @lokjo We both contribute to OpenStreetMap. MapComplete got a part of it's inspiration from StreetComplete, but we have a different philosphy: MapComplete has multiple maps about a single topic, where the data on the map can be edited.
StreetComplete mostly allows to answer quests on the go (but the 'overlays'-feature is quite close to this concept)

Saw you in there getting your comments hidden while telling good history. Thanks for that. Hiding replies definitely is having a streisand effect there
@jonny sadly it won't matter. Google has a stranglehold on the WHATWG, Mozilla is subservient and guided by people who couldn't care less about its users (see them shoving AI everywhere), and Apple is happy to follow suit as well.
We'd need someone truly independent of GAFAM on the WHATWG that could block the process.
GNOME reshared this.
In my experience, it has terrible code generation.
Case in point, I once looked at the assembly it generated for zeroing a statically sized array of POD types, and it was amazing how overcomplicated it was.
There is enough information at the AST level to branch on types and simplify the code gen in cases like that from my understanding of how things work.
This is just one example, so take it for what it's worth.
I used to use #OCaml quite a bit, though that was a number of years ago, and I use #Rust a lot now.
One of my main gripes about OCaml is how it wasn't very practical in some ways. There was no way to open a file read/write (very common for, say, databases), and because it lacked things like Haskel's typeclasses or Rust's traits, you'd use different functions to seek on a file opened for input vs. one for output.
Looks like it's still the same.
But I absolutely agree on compile times. I don't know how long Rust would take to compile something on 2005 hardware but it's probably not pretty 🙂
Rust, OCaml, and Haskell all share a common lineage in their type system. Perhaps that's why I've enjoyed all of them. It's also interesting that they are such different languages but with some things in common.
There is something really elegant about #Haskell, and its isolation of "pure" functions (which can't perform I/O) from impure functions, as well as general data immutability, make for nice designs that are easy to reason about, and excellent recursion handling also feeds into that.
That said, memory usage in Haskell can be hard to reason about, and Rust gives some of those guarantees with its "mut" keyword.
I do a lot of systems programming, so would mostly go for Rust these days.

in reply to feld • • •damn I guess that would mean also replicating the functionality of this PgOutput2JSON
github.com/PgOutput2Json/PgOut…
GitHub - PgOutput2Json/PgOutput2Json: PgOutput2Json is a lightweight .NET library that uses PostgreSQL logical replication to stream row-level changes as JSON messages to RabbitMQ, Kafka, Redis, or your own .NET Core application.

in reply to feld • • •this seems like an odd way to manage a partial replication.
Are you going cross-platform?
feld
in reply to Random Damage 🌻 • • •@RandomDamage no no, I have other plans.
Gitlab does not provide any system auditing webhooks on the free tier. If you want to be able to get alerts for things like new users, groups, snippets, projects etc so you can detect spam/bot accounts, you're screwed.
So I'm going to use this as a workaround and build my own solution.
Random Damage 🌻
in reply to feld • • •Yeah, having that on an automated basis isn't something that any of the hosting platforms make easy
feld
in reply to Random Damage 🌻 • • •it's crazy because this functionality is supported natively and is documented, they just won't give all of them to the plebes. The screenshot shows the limited options on the free tier.
