These Brits claim “Uzbek plov” is local Estonian food? Doesn’t it say right in the name that it is Uzbek? youtu.be/usA93ivLMN0?... and coming from unbearable heatwave complaining about rain and cold. And I’ve only watched 2:40 so far.
Was It Right for Us to Be Treated Like This In Estonia?

aww, thanks headhunder. i think i've been working on that team for over 19 years now.
Climate change- southern Western Europe is burning 40+, we in the north have unusually cold summer, like 15-17 and rain
Exceptionally slow coffee machine on Sõru-Triigi ferry, mine took like 1 min. The silent passive aggressive queue forms, the silence and looks… and the next 1 min brew starts.
Another unintuitive temporal nugget. Documented ofcourse. EXTRACT() from TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE returns values in UTC!
I so much hate when someone (more managerial) send a page - "I generated this using AI, please fact check it". I always end up deleting all/most of it and rewriting since the information is just wrong and it uses so many words. Huge waste in time and resources.
The dreaded PostgreSQL "cached plan must not change result type" and connection pooling (pgBouncer). Looks like I have to build something that notifies pool that DDL has happened and reconnect backends. Or pgDog, but then I have a CREATE ROLE notification problem. Could contribute to pgDog.
OAuth and other SSO are great... Until their secrets expire and noone has notified.
Cool, managed to find the limit of bigfile tablespace (in 16k block size database). "alter tablespace dw_etl_data maxsize 65t" - ORA-740 datafiue size of xx blocks exceeds maximum file size
Has anyone used Percona MongoDB server? I think they just take MongoDB community edition source and merge their own features on top? I'm just interested in auditing.

Amazing, first time I'm seeing "terminate my membership" is selected as default and one click was enough.
Quote from a dinner table ”she is my primary key, but I have many foreign keys”
#netflix how does advertising qualify as “legitimate interest“? Haven’t really used Netflix for a while, time to exit?
More and more stuff finding its way to moving boxes and trash. Hardly any space to move in my apartment. #movingSucks
Looks like etcd 3.5.28 breaks patroni - Failed to get list of machines - etcdserver: user name is empty. etcd is authenticated. 3.5.29 does not help, downgrade helps.
I saw a table in my old project "dual_replacement" and thought it must be veeery old. Now I see a comment in a view that did not compile anymore "Here it uses dual_replacement because since 19c it seems that when doing DML against view it checks that all referred tables have write privileges"
Amusement for today, letting LLM to rewrite internal documentation to style mixing Linkedin speak and Shakespeare. "A question worth synergizing upon!" "THE PLOT THICKENS: A STRATEGIC NARRATIVE"
The only thing worth mentioning in the new software version… is “8 new emojis”? 🤦
Dear Microslop, you seem to be pushing the large slop generators everywhere, but could you please add one where is would actually be needed - search in Teams.
