TIL that "My" in MySQL is not a possessive adjective but the name of the daughter of the main author of the database Michael Widenius.

I found the codec registry hook method but I couldn’t get it to work because the runtime was replacing spaces and special characters in my shell command with dashes. In the blog post, they don’t seem to have that problem, so I guess it was some kind of version difference.

I ran out of rage and my fix still isn’t working

EndianDB. Doesn’t vacuum nearly often enough

Kubernetes scheduling pods but it’s the Sorting Hat:

“Difficult. Very difficult. Plenty of CPU requests, I see. Not a bad image size either. There’s affinity, oh my goodness, yes - and a thirst to process your workload. Better be…. AKS-NODEPOOL-ZERO-ZERO-ZERO-ZERO-J!”

*applause*

I’m totally adding these to our internal website at work

Understandable 😁

PitchCom is unhackable, you say… 🤔

Cheer on the Blue Jays for me!

Theres annoyed, there’s perturbed, there’s angry, there’s raging, and then there’s being so mad that you fix a ticket on an open source project that has been open for five years with no fix.

Screw Zodiac sign, what’s your favourite ancient text protocol? My current favourite is HURDAT from 1984, complete with Fortran example code:

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

NSO Group can't help their customers hack WhatsApp etc. ether. Must delete exploits & R&D.

Bad news for NSO. Huge competitive disadvantage for the notorious company.

A screenshot of the Amazon app’s augmented reality view of an Intel CPU sitting in my room. It doesn’t even show the CPU.

Why yes Amazon, I’d love to see how my new Intel Core Ultra 7 265K would look in my room. It really brings the room together.

Why did I never dig into Parquet files until now? They’re a database! But they’re not! Too neat

I was trying to google search “F1 Azerbaijan 2025 Piastri free practice” and Google shows me qualifying spoilers. Absolute garbage search engine.
