True, but it's been a goal to open source Quay from before Red Hat acquired CoreOS. The Quay team has always wanted to go community OSS, and it's been Red Hat's policy since acquisition to help them. There were just a who

No, the CoC violation was for making a video, in his very popular podcast channel, supporting the "right" of Somnez to attack women in tech. Since Woods was coming to Kubecon specifically to podcast it, this made several women go

Charles Woods was denied a pass to Kubecon on the basis of his podcasted support for attacks on women and black people in tech by Mr. Somnez. It had absolutely zero to do with MAGA hats.

Charles Woods was denied a pass for Kubecon on the basis of his podcasted support, at length, for Somnez's attacks on women in tech. It had absolutely nothing to do with MAGA hats.

Wow, congrats PG devs! This has been a dream for Postgres for like 8 year now.

They're certainly Christian values, but they're not "conservative", at least not by the American definition. I'll point you to these tenets: * Relieve the poor. * Clothe the naked. * Visit the sick. ... those seem

It's not a joke. Dr. Hipp is a genuinely religious person, and he means this seriously.

Why should the success or failure of VC-funded startups be a concern for open source? If Redis Labs folds, that's sad for them and I'm sure I'll end up writing some references for people. But it's only a concern for open

If you read the shutdown blog post for RethinkDB, licensing was not among their problems. Instead, they were market positioning, reputation, and developing products suitable for their market in a timely fashion. In other words, business e

Josh Berkus, member of the OSI license review committee here. License Zero was rejected because it's not open source. It is, in fact, a business model for a specific startup (and, I'd argue, not for the writers of the code either

For historical relevance: Microsoft already tried this with its "Shared Source" nonsense, an attempt to reap the marketing benefits of Open Source while actually opening anything. If Microsoft couldn't pull it off with their

Kevin, If the goal is to monetize the Redis Labs modules, why not just put them under straightforwards proprietary licenses? This is a well-trodden and well-understood path. This Commons Clause combines the twin mistakes of being both offe

This is where we'd love to have your community input on Fedora/CentOS versions. Fedora Atomic Host has had very recent kernels available, and I don't see why that wouldn't continue with the Fedora version of the new OS.

It is to move our technology stack forwards. Container Linux and Tectonic have technology which the RH container stack has lacked (e.g. Ignition, Operator-based host upgrades). At the same time, there's tech in Atomic/Openshift

For anyone reading this thread who is at Red Hat Summit, we will have a Container Linux/Atomic BOF at 1pm today (May 10), in the BOF area on the 2nd floor.

Also, I'd really like to know how you're deploying Kubernetes on Atomic, because we will likely stop building some of the multiple ways to install K8s on Atomic, and would prefer to keep the ones people are actually using.

by joshberkus 8y ago
So, it depends on which Atomic. Fedora Atomic Host will be updated through at least the end of Fedora 28 cycle (december?). I'd like to keep it updated through Fedora 29, but we'll see what actually happens; best intentions aside,

Hmmm. PostgreSQL treats output rowsets as their own thing, so this works differently in a subquery than in a top-level query. Not that that's desireable, it's just a consequence of an implementation that gives a lot more flexibi

That's a fairly obtuse example. Is there a standard you're drawing from, for this? Because this example works fine: postgres=# create table func_test ( id int primary key, data text ); CREATE TABLE postgres=# inser

by joshberkus 9y ago
Yes, that's correct. If you are going to use sync rep because you can't lose transactions, you really want to use the latest version of PostgreSQL, which supports quorum sync (i.e. "one of these three replicas must ack"

Yes, and (1) no longer applies because service locators which locate the master are now easy to do.

Also, the article does show us the kind of knowledge that admins will always need to have, such as the tradeoffs between asynchronous and synchronous replication.

I wouldn't say that you need deep knowledge at this point. However, you do need at least journeyman level knowledge. Lots of folks (including me, on Patroni) are working to make more things automatic and lower the knowledge barrier

Coffeemug: there's one other thing you missed in the postmortem. The early marketing (1st year) for RethinkDB was all about optimizing for SSD storage. Since this was largely nonsense, database consultants like me (who were in a posi

Given Thiel's long history of crazy an immoral utterances and behavior, why pick out his support of Trump as the "line in the sand"? It's practically normal compared to his other activities, and protected by law to b

The other part of the tradeoff is that inserts and many other write operations are less expensive in heap tables. A Big Table in InnoDB, measured in "when do I start having to spend a lot of time troubleshooting this table's perf

You'll be interested in ongoing work in this area, then. Oleg & Teodor are working on a new index type (RUM indexes, no less) which will speed up ranking operations conserably. https://lwn.net/Articles/689387&
