jeroenbourgois··on Murray Walker has died
I was just a bit too young to hear him in action a lot but boy, did I hear his voice often in F1 1997 on PS one. Afterwards while watching various reruns of 90’s F1 races his voice often lit up the scenery. So enthusiastic, brilliant.

Anything can happen in Formula One, and it usually does... Sadly here the inevitable also happened.

Thanks for the legendary game voice samples and a lot more. You were part of my F1 childhood as much as Schumacher was, alongside Martin Brundle.

OP here. We saw your request on github, will follow up there. Should not be that hard to do, it's not a lot of code actually.
jeroenbourgois··on Show HN: MailgunLogger
OP here (actually, he is my co-founder, same company). I can confirm this experience, looping seems to work.

In our own setup, we fetch data for the last 24h twice a day and then just insert everything. We have a db constraint on the message ID mailgun sends us, so only news ones will be persisted. We aren't even bothered with filtering before inserting, the db constraint does the trick.

jeroenbourgois··on App to help fight queues outside of stores amid Covid-19 quarantine (Belgium)
On of our partners came up with the idea, we bundled forces and whipped up this app in less than a week. The goal is to enable people to check both availability of goods and queue size (like https://tinyurl.com/vw9nfpn). We hope this will prevent people from making unnecessary visits and stay at home as much as possible.

Dutch/French only, with only Belgian stores. iOS version still pending, App Review is really hard on this one, since Apple is very strict on spreading (mis)information about COVID-19, and rightfully so.

jeroenbourgois··on ExActivity, simple async db logging for your webapps, in Elixir
This is our first stab at a Elixir library and our very first OSS contribution! We hope it can be of use to anyone, we are using it ourselves in production.

We created the lib because after 10 years of developing PHP apps we had settled with a structured way to gather logs from our apps, in a database. We really liked this setup, so we ported it to use in our Elixir/Phoenix apps.

Feedback is welcome!
