I’m very much an Odoo guy who has dabbled with Django (and notably, celery in the past) but as someone who makes huge use of the Odoo OCA queue module[0], I never understood why Django never made use of the Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY to offload tasks. Maybe this is my misunderstanding as I’m pretty green with the Django ecosystem as a whole.

I thought similarly to you, until I saw it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abRie4vAvJ4
It almost seems intentionally AI? If anything, if my job at Maccas…ahem, McDonald's (sorry, spot the Aussie) is in marketing, I’d expect to to be promptly fired if this wasn’t expected to pass for anything less than satire.
I’m always fascinated by how heat pumps (or reverse cycle units for Australians) are not the defacto standard in other countries and somehow come up for debate in the US. I remember watching one of the many TechnologyConnections videos on the subject and was wondering although interesting, what is with this focus on heat pumps being better than XYZ? Is the resistance to change really that great?
Being Australian, at least in Victoria, I don’t know of many houses that have gas heating. I also think it’s been a hot minute since I’ve seen household evap cooling, which I find has slowly been replaced by reverse cycle units given the climate has changed for us in VIC that the humidity increase over the years tends to make the evap units far less effective.

Oh, that's really cool, the channel seems like it has a lot of other nice videos as well!
I wish there was a video that's so nice about compressors, like in Audacity you have all of these settings and most are also present in OBS and other software:
* Threshold (dB)
* Make-up gain (dB)
* Knee width (dB)
* Ratio
* Lookahead (ms)
* Attack (ms)
* Release (ms)
POSY is an absolute treasure. The time and effort he puts into his videos is absolutely evident.
Left Brussels 6 hours after attending Odoo Experience and it was organised chaos at the airport. Heavy reliance on passengers checking in online first and using those details to check passengers and luggage in “manually”. I applaud the Emirates staff as to how well they handled it.

In my 40s and I’ve recently been diagnosed with inattentive adhd. TFA makes a lot of sense to me given I’m one of the rare people at my company who commutes to the office every day even though we are an in-person optional workplace. Whenever I’ve had to WFH, I’ve struggled massively to gain an initial focus. Although medication has helped tremendously, I still feel much more productive in an office setting.

This is exactly what I immediately thought while reading the article. It almost feels like the legal system only punishes general public, while most of these guys are above it.
