Get even a single NO and you're done.
Why do you think that's true? SOC2 isn't pass/fail, you receive a report on your business. You can have gaping security holes and be SOC2 "certified." It's just that your SOC2 audit will reflect that.
Even though I agree SOC2 in practice is of dubious security value, I do think you can lose out on sales if you don't have it. I recently had to choose among a bevy of headless CRM options for a client, and they were adamant that whatever platform we used _had_ to be SOC2 compliant. This narrowed the field significantly and ultimately we went with Strapi solely because of this requirement. I see this come up all the time.
Tools like Vanta (and I'm sure others, Drata maybe, I haven't used them) make SOC2 compliance pretty "easy" in the sense that it's often a mechanical process that doesn't require too much thought. At least for me, it usually involves being in a Slack channel with an auditor, and they're advising you on all the things to do (they want you to "win"/pass, although there is no real pass fail), and then you just need to check the boxes in Vanta.
Wow, this is pretty surprising, I was under the impression that this is the leading PG backup/recovery tool.
Anybody know how WAL-G and Barman compare?
Got it, thank you!
When you say "power router," what product are you referencing specifically? I'm trying to search online to find a similar product but I don't think I'm finding the right thing.
Various investigations have found it to be one of the most token efficient statically typed programming languages

Don't know about anyone else, but the first thing I do with these types of libraries to check out the Accordion component and see if it slides out with a nice animation. This has become my litmus test for how well designed a component library is.
There's a real dearth of blog posts explaining how to use quadlets for the local dev experience, and actually most guides I've seen seem to recommend using podman/Docker compose. Do you use quadlets for local dev and testing?
Does this do any level of server hardening for you when you point it at a server?
There's an open source one by Samsung that is excellent, never had any issues with it: https://github.com/Samsung/netcoredbg
There are libraries that simulate a lot of these things (e.g. https://github.com/G-Research/TypeEquality for GADTs). You're absolutely right that it's not as first class as in OCaml, but the tools are there if you want them.

I'm curious about the same, but also am wondering if there can be an automatic election of a new primary through the use of conditional writes (or as Fly.io say, CASAAS: Compare-and-Swap as a Service).
There's also https://github.com/message-db/message-db
Admittedly, these options seem to not be quite as user friendly as OP's solution.
I would love to have an eInk tablet that I can watch videos on (color not required). I frequently watch educational YouTube videos before bed, but I’d prefer to have something that isn’t beaming light into my eyes. Does something like this exist on the market today, or do I need to wait until this product gets released?
I can’t wait until this is available in more rural areas of NY. I would love to be able to take this thing to/from a bar where there’s no public transport and very low density of Uber/Lyft.
Whoops, that probably means that you've already submitted your information. There's only one unique constraint on the email field.

Akka.NET and AvaloniaUI are two big ones.
Cool, but this is very specific to DataFusion, no? Is there any chance this would be standardized so other Parquet readers could leverage the same technique?

There's the original/current implementation: https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr
And the newer reimplementation: https://github.com/dmiller/clojure-clr-next
I donate to the Ionide project which is a suite of dev tools for F#. Been using them consistently for years. They've only continued to improve over the years!
Does anybody have a list of which S3-compatible object storage providers support Compare-And-Swap?

Seems a bit like a spiritual successor to the Jeep Cherokee XJ, which also has a very strong DIY community around it.
While we're talking about Firefox, does anybody feel like it's gotten dog-slow recently compared to Chrome? Testing with the following gist it takes FF 2.7 seconds on my machine for the page to fully load, and only ~400 ms in Chrome.

It's statically typed and inferred.
With regards to your example, the print/printfn (equivalent of Write/WriteLine) functions are a bit funny in F#. They don't actually take bound string values directly. You need to specify the type (which could be a string, a number, obj, etc)

Would you ever consider making a product that emits some level of IR? Or even a very small amount of UV? Would be amazing for the winter months, even if it was just a very small amount.
Interesting! I'll give these a look.
Edit: I watched the presentation (which I really enjoyed) and also read the blog post. For anyone with less time, the answer is essentially: don't sync everything, treat the local data like a cache. Sync as much as you can into that cache, and then reach out to the server for other things.
