Is there any other more useful url? Even with ad blocking enabled this site is a mess of auto playing adverts. It makes the actual content difficult to find.

Like many tools defending their moats, tools like Jira don’t make it easy to get one’s data out.

The Eagle & Child pub in Oxford was frequented by CS Lewis and Tolkien. It’s now going to be refurbished by Foster and Partners architects

I was interested in how they make Tiger bread.

Turns it it’s rice-flour paste and yeast painted on prior to baking. The rice flour doesn’t stretch, so flakes when the bread expands

We use DMS in continuous replication mode, which appears to use CDC under the hood according to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Task.C...

In our setup DMS pushes Parquet files on s3. Snowflake then loads data from there.

We’ve occasionally had to do a full table sync from scratch, which is painfully slow. We are going to have to do that in the very near future - when we are upgrading from Postgres 11 to Postgres 15.

The S3 step also seems unnecessarily complicated, since we have to expire data from the bucket.

How does PeerDB handle things like schema changes? Would the change replicate to Snowflake? (I’m sure this is in the docs, but I’m supposed to be on holiday this week ) Thanks for the quick reply.

Seems like a really useful tool. Would your system support Postgres Aurora on AWS as a source database? Or does it require some lower-level access to Postgres server?

We are currently using DMS to send data to S3 and from there to Snowflake.

From the article:

> For others, it can be hours of crying, even to the point of vomiting (common enough to be a frequent topic of conversation on sleep-training forums and addressed by baby sleep books including Ferber's

The article also includes a reference to 2-3 hours.

The article covers m-disc extensively, not sure why you’re linking Wikipedia here?
