A few months ago I got so fed up of squinting at glowing rectangles to stay informed/updated. I feel like there's a finite amount of podcasts I can reasonably follow/digest so I built a very basic prototype to summarise RSS feeds/transform the content and transcribe it in to a personalised podcast.

I put a bit more work in since May have it running almost end to end, still with plenty of gotchas. It's transcribing on an RTX3070 under my desk so pretty limited, but have enjoyed a few morning briefings just as I want them (weather, chance of rain today, BBC/NPR top stories from yesterday, some specific sports news then HN most popular summarised with summary of comments. Got a chuckle out of the LLM summarisation of HN commen threads which was always "Comments reaction: mixed" (which it no longer embeds!)

Found traces of it being done before and I understand you can do similar in Notebook LM, but I was hoping to build something set-and-forget.

Genuinely curious if people would just let this rip with no obvious isolation?

I’m aware Mac OS has some isolation/sandboxes but without running codex via docker I wouldn’t be running codex.

(Appreciate there are still risks)

More focussed on developer UX than telemetry, `Make VS Code Awesome` [0] shares a lot of configs to clean up the UI/nags/prompts. I'm not affiliated but have bought it and found it significantly improved my days in Code.

I'm implementing some faceting in a project I'm working on. I have some nested `jsonb` columns which include categorical variables (to quote this article).

The table is only 5 million rows and isn't likely to grow significantly, but it is not very wide.

The performance is okay and I was about to experiment with flattening out the table (putting all categorical vars into their own columns) and indexing that way vs. indexing JSONb paths.

I'm not super familiar with the postgres internals to know if this is better or worse so wondering if anyone could share any similar experience?!

Non-starter because you don't want to migrate the images into Cloudflare? I.e. you want the transformation/caching of some non-CDN images via Cloudflare?

Asking as this could look very attractive (£ wise) for a project with images stored in Uploadcare where it would be feasible for us to do the source-image migration.

They also had a snafu with marketing emails late last year [1] - not a great look for a company handling bank/payments.

I recently purchased something from the official UK Nintendo Store [1]. I did not opt-in, and was not asked to opt-in, to marketing emails.

Several days after purchase I received a marketing email with an Unsubscribe link.

I submitted a GDPR enquiry and after a few weeks I get:

  Having investigated this matter fully, we can see that you were opted in as a result of a small technical difficulty which we are now fixing. We have taken action to set your marketing permissions to "no" as requested.

I think we're so far past the GDPR "start date" that there's an apathy to it from companies and they're pushing the limits again. How Nintendo can have such a formalised GDPR enquiry process but such sloppy controls is beyond me. I will formally complain to ICO (UK data regulator) but I doubt it'll effect much.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, they are going to have an immense SLA claim issue. 99.9% SLA on Workspace services, so any business paying for Google for Business (now known as Workspace) is going to have a credit claim (assuming the outage is longer than 43m 49s which feels like it will be).

Edit: As I comment it looks like things are coming back! Timing or what...
