📣Today in "why are librarians & archivists important": we had an enquiry about a book that I couldn't find anywhere (not just in the Library, but even *existing* 🤨). So I asked the enquirer where their reference came from. They'd used #ChatGPT to ask about an 18thC ancestor...

This cover - vocals and acoustic guitar - of "I Remember" by deadmau5 and Kaskade deserves way more attention than it's seen: youtu.be/Dl7_TNCkppg

As promised here is a thread on SpaceX announcement about their new Hall thruster for Starlink V2 mini. Trying to go over the figures they published and why it's kind of a unique thruster. Please excuse in advance typos, I had a long day of meetings. x.com/SpaceX/status/…

Just watching the quality of answer the Crunchy Data team gives on support is a day and night different from so many other providers 😏 Just Postgres is probably all you need, but doesn't mean all managed services are just a managed service.

Martian sunsets are moody. However, last month ARCHIVED - Curiosity Rover captured a different kind of sunset on the planet. Rays of light illuminated a bank of clouds, making it the first time sun rays have been so clearly viewed on Mars: go.nasa.gov/3SPh77T

If you haven't experienced Crunchy Data support then you are missing out. Comprehensive breakdown of our database usage with the precise solution to our scaling issue in less than 30 minutes- mind blown.

I wasn’t at this but see friends in the crowd. Proud of Tassie for showing up and telling these people - the same ones that had literal nazis marching in support with them in Melbourne the other day - that they aren’t welcome here.

Probably should send her a teatowel. Bit late now though.

A customer shared their internal presentation about a DB migration with us, and the slides are ✨MAGIC✨. Love this! crunchydata.com/case-studies/u…

IOPS are a thing that baffle a ton of folks, providing massive IOPS out of the box for all Bridge customers has been one of the single biggest performance wins our customers see in migrating to us. Here we breakdown IOPS and what it means for your DB - crunchydata.com/blog/understan…

I’m not really on “the platform formally known as Twitter” much these days, but I guess I could break the silence to tell you about this blog post! This is for all PostgreSQL users, but especially those who need to understand how disk performance affects DB performance.

Just love that I broke my silence by posting a typo/braino here, too. Yes, I *do* know the difference between “formally” and “formerly”, I promise! 😬

In E85 of "5mins of Postgres" we talk about IOPS capacity and burst IOPS, the physical table structures of Postgres and how to measure IOPS in Postgres. We feature John Dalton and Nik Samokhvalov: hubs.li/Q024tBw20

A lot of databases don't really focus on the developer experience. They spend a lot of time on performance, and sometimes they focus a lot on the operations side. What we're working on with Crunchy Bridge for Analytics is really focused on changing that. Very much leaning into

On the PostgreSQL extension ABI issue in the latest patch release (17.1, 16.5, ...). PostgreSQL extension C code includes header files from PostgreSQL itself. When the extension is compiled, functions from the headers are represented as abstract symbols in the binary. The
