The lack of anti-trust enforcement on mergers is really harmful. Lieferheld taking over pizza.de already lead to rising prices. Merging it with Uber Eats would make the situation even worse.

I don't think pointers (beyond a simple "same as in previous row" marker) will be a huge improvement, since you still get a multiplicative number of rows. And it comes with the cost of keeping all that data in memory. This ap

I think it's crazy that standard SQL has no clean way of handling nested data. It's might not fit elegantly into the relational model, but it's still a common business problem that should be addressed. At the bare minimum som

You'd still return a multiplicative amount of rows, even if those rows contained only a reference. `array_agg` in postgres avoids this, but EF does not support using it for collection navigations. One could envision a "Cartesian p

What EF needs is support for using postgresql's `array_agg` when `Include`ing collections.

Why does PgBouncer need to care about cancellation requests at all? Why can't it just forward the cancellation to postgres, which then responds to the cancelled query with an error instead of a response, and then the bouncer for that c

I like keeping the number of stateful systems minimal, since those are the most annoying from a reliability perspective. In practice I use one database and object storage (S3). If that database is postgres is secondary.

The primary thing it checks for is panics. (bounds|overflow|DBZ) are just examples where Rust panics (for overflows rust doesn't always panic, while Kani always fails). You aren't testing your application code directly, but writin

The limiter itself should be able to ensure consistency via pessimistic row level locking, even at lower isolation levels. What I don't want is long running unrelated transactions keeping old tuples alive just it case they're need

I'd love the ability to mark a table as "read committed" to prevent long running transactions from keeping old versions of a tuple alive, or even "read uncommitted" to enable in-place updates. Or perhaps instead of

That would be pointless, since a consumer always buys a license, not the software itself.
