Cheers Simon. It was a pleasure to know you, I fondly remember every time I met you, spoke with you. You were an inspiration in many ways, and will be sorely missed. Let us all carry on the good work, together.

The PostgreSQL Core Team is deeply saddened by the loss of our long-time friend and colleague Simon Riggs on the 26th of March, 2024 [...]

#Postgres #PostgreSQL #SimonRiggs #RIP

This is the best pic I have of the late Simon Riggs who passed away yesterday 26 Mar 2024. 💔 Simon's far-reaching influence in the Postgres world changed the course of so many lives. I took this photo when Simon was giving his Postgres keynote at #PGConfEU 2023 last December in Prague. RIP Simon, you will be missed by so many people, whose hearts are broken right now 💔

You know Redis, you could have moved to AGPL rather than screwing the whole FLOSS community.

A good example of why I refuse to contribute to projects wanted you to sign a CLA.

How it started: "This change has zero effect on the Redis core license, which is and will always be licensed under the 3-Clause-BSD."

How it's going: "Beginning today, all future versions of Redis will be released with source-available licenses. Starting with Redis 7.4, Redis will be dual-licensed under the Redis Source Available License (RSALv2) and Server Side Public License (SSPLv1)."

6th in the lightning talk lineup at
@pgDayParis #pgdayparis 2024 was the awesome
@michristofides of pgMustard who gave a talk titled "BUFFERS by default"

Anyone who knows Michael & his work with #PostgreSQL will not be surprised his talk was about BUFFERS!

4th in the @pgDayParis #pgdayparis lightning talk lineup was Chris Ellis!

Chris's #NordicPGDay talk was full of #PostgreSQL tips & feature advice, but this lightning talk was altogether different, about "Electric Elephants" he made in homage to the Slonik (elephant) mascot.

Why oh why did he do this? "I get bored"
#Postgres #OpenSource #database #conference

Last week's
@pgDayParis #pgdayParis was a fun #PostgreSQL learning opportunity. Also: what a hallway track!

Series of posts coming about all of the pgDay Paris 2024 ⚡️ Lightning Talks

1st lightning talk was mine, titled: 🦋 Fighting the Butterflies & giving your first Postgres conference talk

Welp. It's official. #Redis is no longer #OSS

While I wasn't a contributor to the core, I presented on it dozens of times, talked to thousands, and wrote a book about it.

I probably wouldn't have done any of that with that kind of license.

Very disappointed.

If you are a first-time speaker and aren’t sure whether to submit, we encourage you to do so!

🗓️ #CFP will CLOSE on Sunday, April 7, 2024 @ 11:59PM PDT

From 1989 to 2019, the richest 1% of families increased their share of total national wealth from 27% to 34%.

At the same time, families in the bottom 50% saw their share drop from 4% to 2%.

When I say trickle-down economics is a hoax, this is what I mean.

Postgres is eating the database world, medium.com/@fengruohang/postgr.

Interesting point of view and facts about Postgres: how it becomes the kernel for databases, à la Linux for OS. It’s fast, robust, reliable, and extensible. It’s the de facto default choice when a new kind of database needs to emerge. All extensions are working together, it’s open source, well documented etc. It’s a powerful database framework.

#OpenCore means "we won't accept the contribution you worked hard to implement on your own dime and time because we need to keep it a proprietary feature in the Enterprise Edition".
