Kimwoolf and Aisuru kind of make my point better than yours, I think?

Yeah, I'm reminded of 15 years ago being told Linux was super secure because people were popping Windows all the time. Turns out it was mostly just a function of effort pointed at the target, and I don't have any reason to believe

I deeply appreciate Mullvad's thorough approach to privacy and ethics. In this day and age, you all are an absolute breath of fresh air. Thanks for that.

Postgresml closed up shop, the guy you're replying to was one of the key players there. Pgrx is trucking right along, and gaining speed at the moment.

Cloudflare's developer platform uses them. That's what their "bindings" are.

It is not. They went about 5 years without one of these, and had a handful over the last 6 months. They're really going to need to figure out what's going wrong and clean up shop.

Nope. The slope has been slippery, but way back at the top of it there were zero ads on the page.

Go sits at about the same level of abstraction as Python or Java, just with less OO baked in. I'm not sure where go's reputation as "low-level" comes from. I'd be curious to hear why that's the category you th

I happen to work at a company that uses a ton of capnp internally and this is the first time I've seen it mentioned much outside of here. Would you mind describing what about it you think would make it a good fit for something like bca

Anyone who still takes predictive statements from leadership at AI companies as anything other than meaningless noise isn't even trying.

I think you're mistaking the name of a cardinal direction for a cohesive set of political ideologies.

If information is important enough to bother someone asking for a copy of it, but not important enough to spend an hour ingesting, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Hosting and operating the autoscaling of the various services (compute, pageserver, safekeeper, storage broker) that it takes to make all that work is complex enough that most folks would rather not. Same as any other "managed X"

That's reasonable. I think major restrictions that cause you to need to refactor your code when going from debug to release are a footgun and a half, but that'd at least be defensible.

This is the exact same attitude as people who threw tantrums about seatbelt laws in the 90s. It was wrong then, and it's wrong now. For mostly the same reasons.

I would pay some real money for the rust equivalent of this kind of material. Anyone got a book or repo they like and would recommend?

Yeah, 100% with you on that.

This is completely wrong. Kids can easily learn to read at age 5. A child who is working on "basic reading proficiency" at 8 is very behind and has not been well-served by the people responsible for raising them.

Termdebug works great with gdb, and I get my usual editor features as well as the full functionality of gdb. Seems fine to me. Before I switched from emacs I had an equivalently good setup with dap-mode.

I think this mischaracterizes the state of the space. Iceberg is the winner of this competition, as of a few months ago. All major vendors who didn't directly invent one of the others now support iceberg or have announced plans to do

I'd vote for you. God damn I wish this was the world we lived in.

Cloudberry, last I checked, took their snapshot of all the Greenplum utilities way before the repos got archived and development went private. The backup/restore, DR, Upgrade, and other such seem to leave a lot on the table. I haven&#

This is mostly correct, but it's worth mentioning that cloudberry substantially predates Greenplum going closed source. It just got quite a boost from that change happening. Different dev team too, afaik none of the original Greenplum

I hadn't heard of this one before, I'm curious what people think. Will any of the C variants aiming to accomplish memory safety actually pick up enough adoption to be taken seriously? I don't think a 5x slowdown is going to

It's been pulled to close-source by Broadcom now, but if anyone is interested there was a fairly cool from-scratch go implementation of the same basic ideological approach as pg_dump for Greenplum. Fairly cool for seeing the catalog q

We use it a ton at my shop for internal things like release rollouts. Fairly big tech company, and same experience. It's an excellent product.

Do you also get mad at companies that make locks when people install them on their front doors?
