I'm very happy with my k8s setup for my small startup. I believe it would have been much harder for me to get it off the ground, manage it etc. without it.
PostGIS has been one of the most requested extensions for PGlite and we've recently ported it. For now, it doesn't contain some optional libraries like json-c and GDAL, but we see a path in adding those as well.
We absolutely need more investment in renewables and proven nuclear. But it is not only about this, more high-voltage inter-connections are needed. My understanding is that there is an EU initiative on this, just can't find the source right now.
Regarding nuclear, how much money did the ITER member states dump into something that is always 10 years away? That money could go into solar/batteries or fusion.
One of the issues is that even if you do write documentation, some people that say they want to contribute will not search for it and directly proceed to ask the overworked maintainer to point them to the exact page of the documentation of their interest.
I'm one of the maintainers of PGlite - PostgreSQL in WASM.
We have lots of updates in the pipeline, just listing some of them:
- making it easier to upgrade PostgreSQL's version
- PostGIS - this is one of our most requested extensions and although we have it running server side (ie node, bun, deno) Chrome is holding us back from releasing it
- multi-connection multiplexing over a single instance
Native library is also on our radar, just needs more time...
> It’s great yes, but if we in the US weren’t proving so untrustworthy, EU startups and tech giants could focus on building things that actually might out innovate us and everyone else. Which would be a win-win.
Instead they will spend a lot time duplicating tools where only US companies are providing options, and maybe not innovating much if anything in those areas. Or not enough to matter much.
You could apply this to Slack vs Teams as well. Slack was already good, Microsoft just duplicated their work, came out with an inferior product and won. So, was it worth it?
Teams won by being good enough and bundled into O365. There's probably some value in making a product so available that people can use it where normally they wouldn't have the opportunity.
I was going to comment that teams doesn't have threads and slack may still win long term, but turns out teams added threads in the last couple of months(1). So yeah.
I'll vouch for this. I moved from Slack to Teams and Teams is clearly an inferior product. That said, I don't think SalesForce owning Slack is really a big improvement.
