Sometimes it is cheaper.

Most businesses run on a, "least to be in compliance" model.

This is a great article and it is true.

Success means self-promotion. If you work remote, you have to work loudly. People are not going to see what you do.

I think there is a flaw in thinking that "Creators" have some intrinsic value. The reason the middle gets pushed out is correct in this article but it is missing an important point: there are too many creators.

That is why the top gets heavier and the bottom spreads out.

Transparent Data Encryption offers encryption at the file level and solves the problem of protecting data at rest. The encryption is transparent for users allowing them to access and manipulate the data and not to worry about the encryption process. The extension supports a keyring file and external Key Management Systems (KMS) through a Global Key Provider interface.

PL/Ruby is a procedural-language handler that lets you write database functions in Ruby, stored and executed inside PostgreSQL. You get the expressiveness of Ruby and its standard library with the full power of a native PostgreSQL function: plain functions, set-returning functions, triggers, event triggers, and procedures with transaction control.

Entirely updated for modern PHP and PostgreSQL. It supports all features of pl/perl and pl/tcl.

I am afraid you don't understand Postgres very well.

Hopefully they will start sponsoring PGRX now that they are so publicly using it.

The Call for Papers is from:

Thursday, October 9. 2025 until Friday, January 30. 2026.

Your proposal is expected to be reviewed before:

We have 6 tracks:

Postgres Extensions Day: Dedicated to developers building and maintaining PostgreSQL extensions. Share your work, learn from others, and connect with the extensions community.

Dev: Application development with PostgreSQL. Topics include using extensions like pg_vector for enhanced search performance, creating custom data types, building applications, and leveraging PostgreSQL features in your development workflow.

Ops: Operational practices for PostgreSQL and related technologies. Covers deployment, monitoring, performance tuning, backup strategies, high availability, replication, and infrastructure management.

Essentials: Deep dives into core PostgreSQL functionality. Explore data types, built-in features, query optimization, indexing strategies, and fundamental concepts. If it’s in the documentation or should be, this track explores it thoroughly. Core PostgreSQL knowledge that provides long-term career value.

Life and Fun: Nothing about Postgres goes here. Non-technical topics that make us human. Share your hobbies, side projects, and interests outside of databases. Topics include beekeeping, gardening, homesteading, solar projects, IoT experiments, mountain biking, camping, and anything else that brings you joy.

Professional Development & Wellness: Career growth and personal well-being. Topics include career advancement, managing burnout, work-life integration, mental health, communication skills, leadership development, and building sustainable careers in technology.

The company that is a PBC that got sued for theft and lost...

I am running for President in 2028. Here is my first platform statement on generating more revenue in a equitable manner.

Because social media largely sucks and brings out the worst in people.

No I didn't read the article.

Good.

This constant consumerism is destroying our world.

299.00 for a full day training on Postgres Performance and Maintenance. Starts Tuesday, get your ticket today. Seats are limited.

Because smart people know how screwed up the world is and the fact that it isn't actually fixable.

Honestly it's about time.

There is no free lunch and I would rather have to login to see content than have ai scrapers grabbing content

Thank you for your interest in submitting to Postgres Conference: 2026.

We have 6 tracks:

Postgres Extensions Day: Do you develop Postgres Extensions?

Do you want to develop Postgres Extensions?

This day/track is for you!

Dev: All about developing with PostgreSQL. This can be about using extensions like pg_vector to increase your search performance to how to write a new data type.

Ops: Talks on the operational practices of Postgres and related technologies.

Essentials: Datatypes, How do I and data types oh my! If it is in the docs, or should be an isn't... this is where you elaborate on all the glory that is Postgres Essentials. Do not overlook this track it is job security.

Life and Fun: Nothing about Postgres goes here. Do you want to talk about your beehive, backyard garden, homestead, solar, latest IoT project, mountain biking or camping? This is the place.

Professional Development & Wellness: Career enhancement, dealing with burnout and the false ideal of a work life balance. This is where you find peers to help with all kinds of life problems and opportunities.

The Call for Papers is open from Thursday, October 9. 2025 until Friday, January 30. 2026. Your proposal is expected to be reviewed before Friday, February 6. 2026.

Upgrading PostgreSQL and Citus: A Real-World Case Story When your organization relies on PostgreSQL and Citus, a PostgreSQL upgrade isn’t just about version numbers—it’s about unlocking new features, improving scalability, and optimizing performance. Yet in modern distributed environments, with Docker, Kubernetes, and custom extensions, upgrades can be complex without the right approach.

I am not sure how this can be even close to accurate with no representation of PostgreSQL.

Better 20 grand for a truck than a prius

I call my truck my, "moving living room"

I love it

You are funny. A "new" truck can easily run you 70k.

I will likely never drive anything but a truck. They are the ultimate useful vehicle. I have an F150 as my daily driver and an F250 for my farm truck (I have 10 acres).

No, I am not a Trump flag flyer. I just happen to really like useful vehicles.

Of course it is, it is click bait. Salon (and Vox) are notorious for it.

I removed all images (over 40GB) from Google photos just a week ago. I don't miss it.

No but they could certainly use a little bit less "theory" and a little bit more "real world".

At least gas is pretty cheap.

I hope your fish make it.

And now you know the value of camping gear :)

Except that they haven't extinguished anything.

They certainly embrace and extend which is the very nature and purpose of Open Source software.

In terms of overall adoption, PostgreSQL doesn't need to catch Oracle or MySQL. The people that enjoy legacy platforms are not going to change (necessarily).

Real work gets done with PostgreSQL. You can't buy something from Amazon.com without using PostgreSQL. The more Amazon talks about that in their ecosystem, the more PostgreSQL becomes the default choice for all new developers within that (very large) ecosystem.

When you combine that with the loud presence of another 800lb Gorilla promoting PostgreSQL (MSFT), the market has spoken.

This indeed is the concern. I don't think most people are going to care if it is PostgreSQL.Org PostgreSQL, or Babelfish for PostgreSQL in the long run. What they will care about is modernity of the development process and who has the "cool" features.

When you look at something that has nothing to do with the Babelfish functionality but would absolutely help PostgreSQL, consider PHOT. PHOT (Partial HOT) is a great opportunity for PostgreSQL that Amazon is trying to give back. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the .Org community were to not accept the patch, the feature would end up in Babelfish. If that happens, we now have a viable fork which has 100% compatibility++.
