Big news! As you may have seen elsewhere, @Podman_io, Buildah, Skopeo, Podman Desktop, and other container tools are moving to the CNCF! https://blog.podman.io/2024/11/podman-buildah-and-skopeo-and-the-cloud-native-computing-foundation/ #opensource

Podman being donated to the CNCF is an awesome move on Red Hat's part. It's an important step in order for Podman to start becoming an industry standard tool so we can all finally be free of Docker's terrible design choices

Remembering Grace Hopper (Communications of the ACM)

https://cacm.acm.org/blogcacm/remembering-grace-hopper/

She had a habit of bucking convention and espoused the motto, “It's always easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.”

listen, I've had my moments, but at least I've never mansplained Margaret Atwood's book to Margaret Atwood

"Without ever leaving HTML"*

*Spending most of your time in JavaScript build configuration hell. But, hey, at least you're not in CSS.

#PostgreSQL

If as Chris Giles (FT) suggests, we need to match our aspirations for a European style welfare state, with European levels of taxation (higher for everyone, not just the wealthy as often now suggested), then we hit a major political problem.

If we demand more taxes before the public sector recovers from the Tory engineered crisis, we merely build up resentment at the mismatch between cost(s) & service.

Reeves' fiscal rules must allow sufficient investment to square that circle!

I learn so much from @tchorix in every single one of his #PostgreSQL conference talks (& from every conversation for that matter)

Here are the best pics I captured from Boriss’s talk at @pgconfeu #PGConfEU today, titled “Sparta’s Dual Kingship and PostgreSQL Active-Active” #Postgres #database

Valeria Kaplan gives her talk "connection_builder for PostgreSQL community" at #pgconfeu .

If you're attending @pgconfeu and you're either invested in the #PostgreSQL extension ecosystem, or you've always wanted to contribute to projects that extend Postgres' functionality but didn't know where to start: register for the free Extension Ecosystem Summit on the 22nd!
