This looks like a great event. We're going to show our wire protocol Oracle compatible version of Postgres - NEXTGRES at the San Jose Postgres Conference in two weeks. Hope to see you there!

Economic consequences of foreign policies felt real today.

Rewriting the Postgres Engine Postgres is the most extensible production-grade database. But extensibility has limits. Some changes require rewriting the core. In this session, I will share lessons from 26+ years of extending and...

My co-founder Jonah is one of the most humble people I know — which means most people don't realize how deep his #PostgreSQL internals knowledge goes.

His upcoming #PGConf talk dives into architectural baggage from the early 90s that every PG shop is still paying for.

NEXTGRES: Explainable AI Recommendations Your Team Can Actually Trust Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Personalization is table stakes. Building it takes 12 months and 7 figures. Unless you're using NEXTGRES.

See what each audience segment gets. Ask "why this?" and get a real answer. No black box.

Measuring AI Token Consumption Is the New Lines of Code When companies reward token consumption as a proxy for performance, they're repeating the same mistake we've made with every productivity metric before it.

Measuring token consumption as a performance metric is just "lines of code" wearing a trench coat. We've made this mistake before, right?

Trump in 2011: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”

The gas sensor looks a lot like the Shelly gas sensor. Is one manufacturing for the other?

"To echo Malcolm X, these monstrosities should be stopped by any means necessary," writes @willbunch.bsky.social about the Trump regime's plans for a concentration camp network as part of its mass deportation infrastructure, something ICE’s Todd Lyons likened to "[Amazon] Prime, but w/human beings.”

We tried a cocktail bar’s new Philly-themed menu, from the HitchBOT to the Crum Bum

Fishtown cocktail bar R&D calls its new menu a "liquid love letter" to Philadelphia.

I've used Calibre for quite a few years. Happy with it but its more complicated than I need to manage my stuff. So I decided to roll my own.

If you have a #Kobo this might be of interest to you.

I built something similar and found it useful for uncovering common interaction patterns between human and AI. Nice tool!

Interesting. Your using the camera to detect pace? How is that compared to the built in pedometer?

using a Salt N Peppa lyric to push code to github. Claude responds with a salt shaker.

Whether intentional or not, building whimsy into Claude Code makes me smile.

I was just ready to mention llms.txt too but I see you've already got one! Great idea on the attribution section. I'm going to use that.

Pretty painless

I wish we had more newspapers following the model of the @inquirer.com. I believe they are the largest non-profit newspaper in the country thanks to the @lenfestinstitute.org

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
