solid_queue by default prefers you use a different db than app db, and will generate that out of the box (also by default with sqlite3, which, separate discussion) but makes it possible, and fairly smooth, to configure to use the same db.

Personally, I prefer the same db unless I were at a traffic scale where splitting them is necessary for load.

One advantage of same db is you can use db transaction control over enqueing jobs and app logic too, when they are dependent. But that's not the main advantage to me, I don't actually need that. I just prefer the simplicity, and as someone else said above, prefer not having to reconcile app db state with queue state if they are separate and only ONE goes down. Fewer moving parts are better in the apps I work on which are relatively small-scale, often "enterprise", etc.

Can you be more specific about the issues you have run into that make you advise GoodJob over SolidQueue?

I am (and have been for a while, not in a hurry) considering them each as a move off resque.

The main blocker for me with GoodJob is that it uses certain pg-specific features in a way that makes it incompatible with transaction-mode in pgbounder -- that is, it requires persistent sessions. Which is annoying, and is done to get some upper-end performance improvements that I don't think matter for my or most scales. Otherwise, I much prefer GoodJob's development model, trust the maintainer's judgement more, find the code more readable, etc. -- but that's a big But for me.

The first one that jumps out at me when I've evaluated it are batches (a Sidekiq Pro feature, though there are some Sidekiq plugins that support the same)

Ah neat, I didn't realize GoodJob had batches, great.

It's reasonable for basecamp, but the complaint of GP is that basecamp controls what is the Rails standard/default solution intended to be useful for multiple rdbms, without being willing to put rdbms-specific logic in rdbms-specific adapters.

I thought I was the only one who remembers this one.

Would be more useful as a report back with the switch a couple months behind, than as a "This is what I'm going to do"!

Who is "we"? I'm not doing nothing. Why are you doing nothing?

Nothing that effects real change.

Evidence, the lack of change.

Nothing that has worked yet. to say it hasn't worked yet is very different than saying nobody is doing anything. All we can do is try to figure it out. If you aren't doing something, look for something to do. Everyone I know is doing something. How are you going to figure out what will work except for trying things and seeing what you learn from that?

"Blaming" people for not being successful yet is very different than blaming them for not doing anything at all.

That's just acidic, orange juice will do the same thing. But perhaps you are amazed people are willing to consume orange juice too!

Taste buds can detect chemicals in as concentrations as low as a few parts per million, I dunno.

Someone once said the reason we had alcohol before civilization is that we carry around a chemical testing laboratory in our faces.

It just so happens that everything in beer that can go wrong and hurt you (any sooner than cancer) creates a distinct aftertaste and you can learn to avoid it rather easily.

The only exception of course is if you use poisonous ingredients in the first place.

or instdad of ethanol have brewed methanol.

That's much more of a danger when distilling, just brewing with yeast it's difficult to wind up in a situation with dangerous methanol.

how long do we have to wait for the pendulum to swing again and we are able to buy small cars in USA again?

It’s not really a pendulum. A law with unintended consequences needs to be adjusted or repealed: Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE)

I don't understand how discontinuing (eg) Honda Fit or Mitsubishi Mirage would have helped manufacturers meet CAFE standards. I think they in fact were not selling very well. I get how light trucks have different standards so they like to produce them, but wasn't every (eg) Honda Fit or Mitsubishi Mirage sold an aid to meeting CAFE standards too? (The profit margin isn't as good though, true). I don't have them in front of me now, but I think I did see sales figures that were a downward curve for those models though. What am I missing?

It also looks like, for better or worse, CAFE compliance penalties were eliminated in the "one big beautiful bill" act? So the changes you advocate have been made? (And applies retroactiely to model years 2022 and above). So we'll see if small cars come back as a result, I guess? https://news.sustainability-directory.com/policy/congress-el...

The idea of "advanced users" of vibe coding is interesting.

I remember reading about how Venezuela had an internet blackout preceding US attack, presumably the blackout was an attack by US "cyber". Ah, here we are. https://securitybrief.co.uk/story/us-cyber-attack-on-venezue...

The discussion here assumes that the Iranian government is responsible for this blackout. I actually don't understand enough about network routing to undestand the OP dashboard linked to or be able to answer this question, but could it instead be the work of an opponent preparing to attack Iran?

Seems more likely that an authoritarian regime is suppressing protests. Unless there has been a troop buildup of which I am unaware, there's no imminent invasion.

Iran has shut down the internet nationwide several times before, this is nothing new when there are protests.
