How about yanking the cords, or maybe a big red “shutdown” button

Looks like he was just at Burning Man so this behavior tracks. https://ma.tt/2026/09/bm-snaps/

Wow, lobsters seems refreshing! Invite only to contribute must be why they can run on sqlite so effectively. I've run into so many issues with WAL (real time market data) unless I'm painfully deliberate with reads and writes. Don't feel like jumping on the "ohhh invite me" bandwagon, but definitely subscribing to their feed.

An opinionated person has different opinions than a different opinionated person

Gas Town wasn't satire?

I'm not going to stop using it because it's not "true open source." I'm going to stop using it because there's better databases out there.

QNX is owned by Blackberry?! Blackberry still exists?

I have such fond memories of Graphite's simplicity. Simply hit the server with a metric and value and BOOM it's on the chart, no dependencies, no fuss.

Don't be bamboozled! This is an amazing time to be alive!

Just expose a way to explore hierarchies and measures, give me an ability to generate "alternate hierarchies" then let me run MDX and leave me alone! ORM and OLAP don't belong in the same sentence together.

Literally saw Obama's BlackBerries a week ago at the Crypto Museum! Great museum, worth going to if you're in the DC area and have access to a car.

No new Zelda, no new Mario. I don't know what Nintendo is doing but I am not a hyped up for the Switch 2 as I thought I'd be.

"only 3-5x faster... rarely makes sense to use Redis" This is an illogical conclusion. 3-5x faster is substantial!

Short sweet and to the point. Why isn't this a button in the bios, naturally hidden behind a few levels of menus? "Defrag your NVRAM" Other than power failures what would other failure modes be? I guess if the NVRAM has bad cells? Guess it's easier to just reset the whole BIOS whenever there's a problem?

How does this compare to CyberChef? https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/

This is a fantastic product! It works really well for email servers

Yeah, because every time I call they give me a new "deal" and lower my bill by $10 a month.

Also Multidimensional expressions, popular in OLAP cubes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiDimensional_eXpressions

Still amazing progress! Such a shame that Sony and Honda gave up on their bipedal robots 20 years ago. Imagine where we could've been

This feels like I, Robot— except instead of killer robots in a tunnel, we’ve got driverless cars cluelessly blocking motorcades

Really like what the Podcast Index is doing, especially with pushing Podcasting 2.0 (https://podcasting2.org/) and value for value! Just wish I could do v4v in currencies other than Bitcoin.

I have a similar feeling towards "Legacy." Aka "Everyone who wrote it doesn't work here anymore and I can't be bothered to learn how it works"

Game changer for scaling and costs? It’s an 80 MB database that needs to get duplicated by n developers and a test and production instance. They could get away with a $200 beelink under a desk. I see no reason to prematurely scale. I would focus on making things fast and creating a “duplicate database” button so devs can work without interrupting prod

"Overall, this migration proved to be a massive success" but their metrics shows this migration resulted in, on average, slower response times. Wouldn't this suggest the migration was not successful. Postgres can be insanely fast, and given the volume of data this post suggests, it baffles me that the performance is so bad.

This list is bussin, no cap

But theirs is a design mark, just the design is trademarked, not the letter "X" itself. Important distinction
