I just watched @hannes.muehleisen.org and @markraasveldt.bsky.social's intro to DuckLake.
I'm a massive fan of Iceberg, but DuckLake is super compelling! Squashing the catalog and 3 layers of metadata files into a boring SQL database while still getting Object Store scale 🤯

@quinnypig.com are you seeing much of this "correction" to NLB billing where AWS had "forgotten" to charge for cross AZ traffic since NLBs were introduced?

@misstipsy.bsky.social with another absolute gem of a piece. 👌
I have a new blog post up: "Corporate 'DEI' Is An Imperfect Vehicle for Deeply Meaningful Ideals" charity.wtf/2025/02/10/c...
I know a lot of people are feeling incredibly scared and demoralized right now. I get it; I am too. (Who knows if my marriage will still be valid in two years?)

Corporate “DEI” is an imperfect vehicle for deeply meaningful ideals
I have not thought or said much about DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) over the years. Not because I don’t care about the espoused ideals — I suppose I do, rather a lot — but because corporate…

Extremely unfun fact: math like this is one of the reasons the Nazis ended up deciding to build death camps.
They decided it was cheaper and easier to murder people, rather than deal with the logistics of moving them somewhere else after they had been deported.

I have absolutely loved @marcbrooker.bsky.social's series on DSQL intervals. I hope they do a full VLDB or SIGMOD paper on it at some point!
The fourth and last in my series of blog posts on our new Aurora DSQL database is up! This time, we're looking at what happens during network partitions, and how we preserve consistency, availability, and durability. Check it out: brooker.co.za/blog/2024/12...

@sj26.com quick out the gate on this one!! #awsreinvent
Want to try out Amazon's new DSQL database from Ruby on Rails?
github.com/sj26/activer...
It's probably going to fall over at the first migration, but we've gotta start somewhere.

And now live from #awsreinvent comes the first keynote: Monday Night Live with Peter DeSantis.
The last few years it's become Surprise Monday Night Computer Science Lecture with Professor DeSantis, and I'm kinda hoping we get that again tonight.
This thread shall liveskeet the talk.
