I’ll be real, I use Postgres every day and I have no clue what you’re talking about

Damn. That sucks man. Do you have other pants? Do you need to go to the bathroom and fix it?

Depends on how wide your columns are and how often your records are modified. Past a certain width and I’m not sure lowering fillfactor is a good idea.

Why does this comment sound AI generated?
Re:The Internals of PostgreSQL by mike_hearn on Wednesday November 04, 2026 @03:38AM (#50362861)
Because it probably was. Pangram say it's too short to be certain but they think 100% of the text is possibly AI.

That doesn't mean the comment is useless, though. There's a whole philosophical discussion to be had here about whether what matters is the comment or the identity of the speaker.
