Okay, but EDB is the largest corporate contributor to Postgres, and one of the people pushing against the feature (Bruce Momjian) also works for EDB? The PG community is a lot of things, but I think “dominated by commercial interests” is

pgbackrest works purely at the file level, by looking at checksums. It’s rather primitive by comparison.

It seems that “younger generation” programmers underestimate the value of governance in OSS. The recent Terraform kerluffle couldn’t have happened if Terraform was in the ASF, etc.

3 of 7 work at EDB, and the core team doesn’t drive the project roadmap. And EDB hackers fail to get patches in all the time, just like everyone else :)

I’ve personally deployed O(TBs) and O(10^4 TPS) Postgres clusters on Kubernetes with a CNPG-style operator based deployment. There are some subtleties to it but it’s not exceeding complicated, and a good project like CNPG goes a long way to

CPAN vs RubyForge vs PyPI isn't exactly an appropriate comparison. Take a look at: http://www.google.com/trends?q=python%2C+perl%2C+ruby&ct... vs http://www.google.com/trends?q=cpan%2C+pypi%2C+rubyforge&#38... Google Trends isn't a

This is drivel. The author labels Google "pirates" for linking to AP content and states that there would be no online marketplace for music if the RIAA hadn't sued napster, even though the pirated music marketplace is vastly larger than it

Agreed. Newspapers aren't generating the content that the 'hyperlocal' sites are focusing on; how often does a school board meeting story come off the AP wire? The 'trivial and irrelevant' blogs are what the sites are feeding off of (except

I think I missed the RSS reading part of it; it makes more sense now. Seconded on the themes looking very nice! @jacobbijani: I'm not sure if you care much, but Firefox users can remove the start.io menu from their pages by adding a display

I'm guessing it's your site, since the name 'Jacob' is all over it. Why didn't you post a comment about it in typical Ask YC style? Anyway, outside of the marketing-counter thing, I would suggest that the initial layout for a user's start p

How is Google's search share nearing 100% any different from Microsoft's OS share nearing 100%? Microsoft could have quite easily done whatever it wanted with the flow of information during the mid-late 90's, with a huge market share and ve

Open source does not thrive on the fuel of non-profit alone. Red Hat and Sun are for-profit, but they're major contributors to open-source projects. Open source is successful with not-for-profit models because people like hacking on open so

WordNet is actually quite good. If you're looking for some accessible NLP tools, NLTK ( http://www.nltk.org/ ) is nice. It's written in Python, and uses WordNet in several ways. The author of ots isn't really interested in working on it any

There's no way that Google is "threatened" by Twitter search. Google's search dominance is not maintained by providing the best car reviews or up-to-the-minute news. I'm not going to go to Twitter to search for research papers, or obscure l

Re: the web "site"/web "app" split: It would be nice to see someone elaborate on this a bit more, past the "where it came from" bit. In "Snakes and Rubies", I got the impression that dhh just threw that out there, and Adrian didn't really a

It's bad form to ask him to defend his point when you're defending your own by reiteration. Why won't innovation in such a magnitude 'happen again anytime soon'?

Agreed. You'd be simply creating a composite value; your statements might look messy, but there's nothing stopping you from doing this with SQL. Additionally, you're still choosing arbitrary values, and there are still going to be data poin

how economical is it to be making $5 credit charges for several thousand users ever month? I would think that visa/mc would eat your revenue for lunch there. Is there anyone out there aggregating these sites' little charges for them?
