An old tech geek with too many cats. I'm a PostgreSQL author, speaker, and fanatic. I play too many video games, and tinker with clusters to keep learning.

OMG InitMaterializedSRF takes care of so much boilerplate. 🥰.

Back in those days, we used things like Watchdog, Pacemaker, Keepalived, and various custom stacks beyond that. Also, this was usually before systemd, so relying on the system service to keep things running wasn't really something people did.
I have a very zoomer / junior question . Back before kuberneyney and containers, what were the common practice for server to deal with app when it crashed? . Do they just use systemd / scripts to recover it?.

Here's the thing: there are multiple Postgres extensions which enable local embedding transforms, but you need multi-master functionality to really take advantage of it across a distributed cluster. Active-active clusters aren't just for HA.
🚀 Scaling AI at the edge isn’t just about faster models—it’s about smarter infrastructure. This new article from The New Stack dives into how distributed PostgreSQL enables real-time AI inference at the edge—and why low-latency access to data is critical for success. 🧠Read.

I don't remember doing this, but my mom says when I was four, I walked up to her holding some kind of snake and proudly shouted, "Look mommy, a worm!" 😂.

Thankfully I don't have to worry about this; as a genetic trainwreck, all of my organs are inherently non-viable garbage that barely keep me alive. 😂.
if you have "organ donor" on your drivers license and youre in an accident, the hospital will let you die or outright kill you to make money off harvesting your organs.

First @BlazePizza got rid of goat cheese, and now they've ditched the keto crust. It's like they're specifically trying to make me stop going there. ðŸ˜.

This is both hilarious and tragic. No AI tool should have access to the prod environment; the tech simply isn't ready yet. Hell, any prod deployment should require sign-off from at least one senior dev or designated product owner regardless of AI being involved.

My Evanston apartment was so hot the summer of '07 I couldn't sleep at night. The next day I went out and bought a big ass AC and slapped that baby into the front room window. Low square footage so it cooled the whole place. I left it for the next tenants when I moved out.
Is there a reason people in Europe are unable to get a noisy $100 window air conditioner like people do here when they don't have central air. I'm genuinely curious. Many of my early apartments had no A/C so I simply. bought one?.

I am now taking ideas for another (stupid) Postgres extension.

Now that I've had some exposure to the Postgres extension API, I have to say I'm a bit surprised they don't have "register_XXX_hook" functions to maintain lists of hooks, rather than relying on extensions to play nice by calling the next hook manually. Kinda janky.

Before you ask, I did not use AI to build this. This is pure "ripping code from existing extensions," combined with copious "grepping through the Postgres codebase" at work. 😂.
Have you ever wanted to prevent users from executing DDL in your Postgres database? Well now's your chance!.

In order to experiment with Postgres C extensions, my first attempt is to write an extension that denies execution of DDL for no particular reason. I'd like to declare this pointless experiment a rousing success! Code coming soon. 😂.

A 44% increase in cancer is utterly devastating. That is a ridiculous and impossible signal to ignore, and under any other circumstances, would be enough to stop the world to figure out what caused it for an immediate and expedited reversal. Egad.
🚨 Cancer up 44.2% in 0-54 age bracket. 🚨. This is 7,500 more deaths and 13%-pts higher since we ran this chart 19 weeks ago. A persistent break in the well-established downtrend in this mortality prior to 2021. We are just gonna twiddle our thumbs and let this happen. 🤨
