> That also includes codebases running on languages that teams don't always associate with AI coding tools, such as C, C++, C#, Java, PHP.

What a strange comment for them to make. Why wouldn't I expect CC to work well with those languages? What languages would I associated it with? Python and Javascript?

You only need a BMI of 30 to get a private subscription. That's a pretty large portion of the population (no pun intended).

At least some bits of it do. I was writing something to pull logs the other day and the redirect was to an azure bucket. It also returned a 401 with the valid temporary authed redirect in the header. I was a bit worried I'd found a massive security hole but it appears after some testing it just returned the wrong status code.

There's a model aircraft club near to where I live (UK). They have a runway and people use it most days. In the summer they have a two day festival where people come and camp and do model plane stuff. Presumably it's the Glastonbury of model aircraft. It's quite fun to watch them fly around for a couple of hours.

Anyway, my point is that if I didn't live just around the corner, I would never have known it existed. I'd imagine there are similar setups around the country. You do need quite a big space and a runway is presumably helpful, so it probably makes sense for them to be collectively run.

Our VPN restarted about an hour ago and caused a bit of excitement, on the whole it's been a lot less _interesting_ than the last one thankfully.

Seeing various issues with GCP right now.

> a few weeks to get to the point of not wanting to smoke again

That's a shockingly short amount of time for smoking. For me, after a few weeks I'd say some of the worst cravings had passed. But for a good year or two afterwards they'd occasionally come back, albeit briefly. I quit about 15 years ago, but given the right situation I can still feel it.

> Good reminder that we need a backup real time messaging app.

I'm quite enjoying the quiet. There's still video or email in an emergency.

Babashka is truly wonderful and has taken over almost all my scripting projects. But the author started by saying they didn't want to use a language without types so Clojure is probably out!

I spend way too much of my working life with package version ranges. It took me a minute to understand why this was wrong.

We've also had those macro nutrient warning flags on all packaged food for quite a few years in the UK. The sugar tax is on top of that.

One of the main effects of the sugar tax was that so many manufacturers just changed their recipe to avoid having to raise prices. So the option to pay more in the shop isn't even there. Coke and Pepsi are the notable counter examples.

Yes this is completely my experience too. I spent most of yesterday battling with the query planner. Sometimes you can't express with table statistics something that you know to be true for the exact query that you're making.

There are a lot of arguments about query hints etc becoming stale and the performance changing as the table grows but I'm less worried about that - it would be a gradual degradation of performance. What worries me is that the table stats cross a threshold at 3am and suddenly the query planner chooses something crazy.

I've also wondered if an approach of trying a bunch of query plans could be fun. Get it to pick the top 10 possibilities and just run them all and record stats on which was fastest. Doubly so if it ever decides to run a seq scan where there is an index. Please. Just try the index! That said yesterday I was definitely at the point where I just wanted to express the exact query plan myself.

The fact that it's a router and not a PG extension is helpful if you are using cloud hosted postgres and don't want to get into the business of managing backups etc yourselves.

Only azure supports Citus as far as I know.
