How the author knows its website has hundreds of subscribers? AFAIK is not possible to identify subscribers to RSS feeds and counting hits won't help. Am I missing something here?
Honestly, I can't envision a near future where SQL is not the main interface. Happy to see the future proving me wrong here though!
Despite I can buy the arguments about how having a better data structure to communicate between processes (in the same server) could help, it's a bit difficult to wrap my mind around how Arrow will help in distributed systems (compared to any other performant data structure). Do you have any resources to understand the value proposal in that area?
Same for vector processing, would be great to read a bit more about some optimizations that would help improving Postgres leaving out pure analytical use cases.
> Whatever eventually supplants Postgres is quite likely going to be based on Arrow - polyglot zero-copy vector processing is the future.
Can you elaborate this? I understand it's a very opinionated statement but still I don't see how "polyglot" and "vector processing" could be considered the future of OLTP and general purpose DBMS.
The idea is nice but requires trusting their users a lot. How do they prevent users from setting super high "linker_workers" to be consumed by every agent? This could open the door for malicious users to saturate the entire system...
You bring a topic I have been myself concerned about but never managed to articulate. I'm usually performing quite well at my job, and easily get "special" attention and recognition which is good. At jobs, I tend to start motivated just by the work itself but at some point, after a few victories, recognitions, salary increases, or promotions I discover myself being that guy seeking attention and recognition and start feeling demotivated if I'm not getting it.
Perhaps, that's the big thing to solve. Being attention/recognition dependants doesn't look like being a good professional.
