Which version of Debezium was it you encountered these issues with? Connection losses should not be a problem with any current version, as the connectors will restart automatically in that case.

Agreed though that monitoring should be in place, so to be notified upon failed connectors early on (could be based on the heartbeat topic, but there's also JMX metrics which can be exposed to Prometheus/Grafana, and/or health checks could be set-up based on the connector's status as exposed via the Kafka Connect REST API).

On the matter of disk growth, there's no silver bullet here. Some people will want to make 100% sure that never ever events are missed, which implies the replication slot must hold onto those WAL segments while it's not read (this is not specific to Debezium btw.). Others may be willing to accept missing events if the slot isn't read long enough, so those WAL segments can be discarded. In recent Postgres versions, a max size (or age, not sure) can be configured for a replication slot, so it's a matter of configuration which behavior you want.

In any case, a connector downtime for longer than say a few hours is something that should show up as an alert, allowing to take action.

The first iMac displays were almost certainly 'built to order' for Apple. Later, Dell and LG both had 5K screens, but there were bandwidth problems with the common HDMI and Displayport connections requiring users to plug in two cables. Now the bandwidth is there, but nobody seems to bother making the screens anymore.
Since most monitor builders seem to use TV resolution panels (which have much better economy of scale) I'm hoping for a nice 32" 8K monitor someday ;)
The same way you solve "car addiction", you don't. The internet is such a convenient way to get information and media that it outcompeted a lot of other old activities. Sure convenience has issues, like "car addiction" tend to create obesity, since you no longer train the skills dealing with inconvenience, but the convenience itself isn't a problem.

Rather just like we realized people need exercise, you just need to exercise the parts that you no longer need thanks to the internet.
That's just not true...

This is precisely why immigration is really important. Need to replace fat, lazy, satisfied natives with immigrants hungry for a slice of their pie.

It's the only way US can stay afloat. Easy immigration, especially for skilled workers, and maintaining the American dream where a hard worker in a well paying industry will, in fact, live far better than in any other country.

This is also why I personally find the socialistic tendencies of US youth to be so naive. I hope this trend doesn't stick.

I’ve long taken Cloudflare to task for granting DDoS protection for countless DDoS-for-hire services, to no avail. I’ve maintained that Cloudflare has a blatant conflict of interest here, and that the DDoS-for-hire industry would quickly blast itself into oblivion because the proprietors of these attack services like nothing more than to turn their attack cannons on each other. Cloudflare has steadfastly maintained that picking and choosing who gets to use their network is a slippery slope that it will not venture toward.

I'd say that spirituality and materialism can co-exist. There is a saying that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. I'd say that any sufficiently complex blob of information about nature that you can only partially interpret is indistinguishable from spirituality. 200 ug is around the threshold after which really interesting things start to happen. I'd say that the spirituality part comes from the effect of these psychedelics: you can briefly interpret more from the things around you and it fills you with awe. It is also overwhelming, because you still can't understand most of what you're seeing and your brain struggles to make sense of it, hence the spirituality part. I'd recommend reading the "A New Kind of Science" from Stephen Wolfram, it talks a lot about our disability to fully interpret the information that's around us.

Not really, the coating on fluorescent tubes uses a quite different mechanism.

The phosphor coating of fluorescent tubes downconverts UV light into visible wavelengths (is, lower energy/frequency) through the process of fluorescence. The UV photons excite the electrons of the phosphor molecules to higher energy states, after which they emit photons at lower frequencies/energies (visible light) as they fluoresce back to the ground state.

In this case however, the IR to visible light conversion actually increases the energy and frequency of emitted photons.

Total energy must be conserved, so extra energy is incorporated in some way for the upconversion.

There was a plastic film material I saw a few decades ago that lights up when you shine infrared light on it, which was useful for testing IR transmitters and receivers. IIRC, that material only worked when it was bathed in visible light for some time prior to use, where the absorbed visible light acted as an energy bath to provide the required energy for the photon upconversion.
"postgres replication" would probably be the least of their worries. It's not about "magic clouds". These are services that are handling millions of requests per second and there's a lot going on where they have to maintain consistency and fail predictably. Having some services go down in one region but being back up in another still serving requests and committing transactions is unpredictable and could create a lot of inconsistencies that would be very difficult to resolve later especially when you have customer facing services like this where someone's package could be lost resulting in bad reviews and other things you don't want to deal with. People here mostly have never even imagined the level of workloads they're handling and are throwing around "easy" solutions like replication or multi-region availability. For something of this scale, it's just not that simple. It would also be incredibly expensive to do this when you could simply shut operations down for a brief period of time. Not like something of this scale has happened that often
Depends on location.

From an outsider's perspective, the leadership of one party recently tried to hang on to power by a variety of underhanded means, and in fact continues to deliberately undermine faith in US democracy itself.

"The other side" in this case supported a misogynistic, conspiracy-theory spewing, authoritarian grifter with a publicly acknowledged disdain for scientific consensus for president that was disregarding any established limitations on his office and was (and still is) actively trying to undermine a legitimate election.

It's hard to be open for "the other side"'s viewpoints when that other sides viewpoint includes undermining the very system in place to promote consensus.

I've refused a ton, often after applying while full-well knowing (weird phrase) that the company was straight up gangster. shoot, i think i just applied to clearview the other day. i thought, 'is this _the_ clearview??' Submit!

My ego would get a nice bump if/when I got a call, then eventually I'd bail, or just fail to get thru the process. And i have been a contractor at some, and probably would be again, depending on the specifics, etc.

I come from the Chomsky school of thought, tho -- basically, institutional analysis -- i.e. companies/CEOs/boards and economies, as currently constructed, are required to put short term profit above all else -- if that means enslaving children in south america, so be it -- if that means accelerating humanity towards the end of organized life on earth, so be it.

so, facebook has been killing and terrorizing muslims and rohingya and others in asia for years, and almost auto-couped the US government this year -- so be it. if facebook requires muslims, rohingya, or americans to suffer and die, it's not personal -- it's just business.

the biggest companies are generally the biggest criminals, and growing companies will grow into that role -- it's the way the system is designed.

Apple and Nike exploiting/torturing/killing people all over China, etc. -- the list of 'bad companies' we could come up with is almost endless. Tesla. ugh.

so we can refuse to work for fakebook/meta, or some other 'evil' company, but to me it's mainly just virtue-signaling. ditto for the folks who work for those companies and tell themselves they're 'trying to change it from the inside'.

that said, it still seems like the right-ish/less-wrong choice to not work for the worst companies.

but i think if you actually have ethical problems with certain companies, or with 'the system', then organizing to change them and 'the system' probably requires more than just pulling your wage slave paycheck from a different provider -- especially if you live in a relatively free country, etc.

i remember just a few years ago when my favorite company to hate was Palantir -- ah, the good 'ol days.

i have probably mentioned my moral superiority to recruiters in the past -- don't think it matters to anyone/anything -- just more virtue signaling.
This is insane. One side is doing everything they can to rig elections and even tried to overthrow the government and end the democratic process. And then the other side is judged for being taken aback by that? Are we supposed to pretend like nothing is happening?

Even a $7 AmazonBasics HDMI cable has Ethernet support (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014I8SSD0), not that this really matters since hardly any devices ever supported Ethernet over HDMI.

Also, Ethernet over HDMI is limited to 100 Mbit/s which would make it slower than most modern Wi-Fi networks (leaving aside any possible reliability issues).
Why are you pretending not to have heard of subjectivity? No one is talking about the color of the carpet.
It’s not irrelevant for machine learning in general, e.g. Stan (Bayesian/MCMC) is fp64 only, so its OpenCL offloading is more effective where fp64 is better supported.

It’s less relevant for the kinds of deep neural net work enabled by a vendor who’s software stack is designed around 32 and lower bit types, perhaps in an attempt to ensure their flops numbers are highest?
Is manageable depends entirely on the scenario and needs. Maybe you can afford a 5 minute data loss, but can Amazon? Also it's quite possible that they have an enormous volume of data, complicating everything.

And there's probably more than just a database. Maybe a message queue for asynchronous treatment, object storage for photos, etc.

It's certainly not an insurmountable problem, but maybe they consider the failure rate so low (it is, us-east-1 going down is like a once in a few years event) that the complexity of multi-region isn't worth it.

This is completely missing the point of what the younger generation want. They don't have problems with media and their depictions. They tend to be more inclusive. They fight for people that haven't had a voice previously, or have been mistreated. What they have problems with is hate speech, not free speech.

> solo projects and working with small teams

As I said, any time a Flask app becomes non-trivial, it's a pain. Engineering scaled up from 10 to 30 and immediately it was apparent what a massive pain it all was. We had to implement auth, access control, caching, API documentation, admin panel etc etc all on our own. Flask plugins are very fickle with a lot of them not being maintained anymore that don't fit our use cases. If you need all these things in a customer facing app, you might as well just use Django. Performance suffers a little but the ease of developer onboarding and batteries included in the framework, coupled with a lot of well maintained popular plugins honestly make Django the de facto choice for web app dev that needs to scale. Flask is good for small services being maintained by small teams

I do the same simple trick but I'd suggest 1022 instead. It's barely used, and it's below 1024 range meaning no other non-root actor on your system can listen on it and start harvesting credentials.

First step is actually passwd -l root for me, I alwasy lock the root password. After ensuring I have a working admin account of course.

Using the root account at all is obsolete imho. Fedora, CentOS and RHEL all allow me to skip setting a root password and just use my admin user.
Just to add to the anecdotes.. I regularly run RDP over VPNs and web gateways all over WiFi and only occasionally feel a little bit of lag, otherwise it's so fast I forget it's not my local device. I largely use CLI's, IDE's, Office, web browsing, and often tell myself off for watching YouTube videos over the RDP connection instead of locally.
passwords are a symetric key, hence if the server is compromised, so is the password. with asymetric keys, a compromise of the public key is no problem.

but you are right, key-files on a disk are more vulnerable to theft than secrets in your head. keyfiles with a password ontop are most secure but also most uncomfortable.

yes and DJs can be seen as discovery facilitators as per grandparent's comment, so it is fair to say that this is a viable business, which is based on content discovery - or maybe I misunderstood what you're saying?

This sounds nice for being able to use newer C/C++ library functions when targeting an older system libc by statically linking the llvm-libc implementation of the missing functions.
