Don’t forget to run it using the most compatible container engine for your goals: Docker!

Sending us to the comments section in search of a link is just cruel

Also while they have this time machine they should buy a house

What’s great about this comment is I don’t even know which Padres uniform it was and it doesn’t matter. They’re all great ever since they ditched the weird west coast Yankees colors.

Crunchy Data Joins Snowflake | Crunchy Data Blog We are excited to announce that Crunchy Data is joining Snowflake to bring Postgres to the AI Data Cloud.

Five years ago I joined @crunchydata.com, shortly after I wrote about having unfinished business with Postgres. Today as part of Snowflake that journey is continuing. We've built some amazing things, but are just getting started.

I haven’t kept up with the state of the art on this but 20 years ago the authoritative source was the VIN burned into the engine firewall on the chassis

No time for egos when you’re all working together against the monster you built.

I let my garage door close on mine. There’s a pretty thick, soft rubber weather strip.

Nothing quite like your body randomly deciding you should join the 4:30am club

A small issue in Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL: at the "Repeatable Read” isolation level, which in PostgreSQL normally means Snapshot Isolation, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL clusters appear to exhibit Long Fork. We observed this behavior in healthy clusters, in versions ranging from 13.15 to 17.4 […]

The amazing thing about AWS is they can launch things like this without even flinching at how ridiculous they look. True masters of not giving a damn. Crazy high self-esteem.

If you're using Postgres for your app data you can stop stitching together a myriad of ETL tools and analytics data stores and use one database for everything. This is both awesome and a lot of fun to use.

People trying to use clusters of Mac Minis for AI reminds me of when SSDs first came out and people tried to use them for RAM

Giant tumbleweeds are real too

Is 10am on a Thursday the official newsletter time for tech companies? My inbox is getting blown up.

Reducing Cloud Spend: Migrating Logs from CloudWatch to Iceberg with Postgres | Crunchy Data Blog How we migrated our internal logging for our database as a service, Crunchy Bridge, from CloudWatch to S3 with Iceberg and Postgres. The result was simplified logging management, better access with SQ...

I got a number of questions on how we saved $30k a month on cloudwatch by moving logs directly to S3/Iceberg with Postgres so I wrote up how in a bit more detail - www.crunchydata.com/blog/reducin...

I’m here for the niche SCIF jokes

More proof that real tech drama is always better than tech fan fiction.

Sniping the exact tab you need out of hundreds is an underrated benefit of having played a lot of CS

If you like coffee, computers, and power of 2 numbers then you'll also like my favorite pour over recipe:

16 grams of coffee
16:1 water to coffee ratio
Slowly pour 48mL (the pointer size on 64-bit platforms) of water every 45 seconds until you reach 256 total mL

I’ll have to clear this with my PO because I'm still on Crunchy Data Warehouse* arrest.

* an earlier message referenced a different form of data warehouse arrest

Even more impressive when you factor in that 600kwh is the rust compiler

To be fair they both help you connect things.

Time to start practicing meditation to convince myself I don't need this and actually follow through on that

It's all fun and games until the wayback machine rebrands itself as an GenAI-powered search service for archived web pages and serves up synthesized, believable old pages instead

I view WO-RMs as more abstract (like Heidi Howard's registers and grids) and might not fit nicely in the taxonomy you're making. I'm really enjoying reading these so thank you for putting them together!

I made that comment in jest because Corfu wasn't originally on the list and in another post you mentioned not knowing Mahesh designed Delos.

The whole family is getting outfitted in Framework computers this christmas www.theverge.com/news/618785/...

That’s the second time you missed Mahesh’s work 😅
