    I've wondered if there will be emerging business models for medium-sized, amenities-included (AP wiring, coffee, snack service, etc..), short-lease office spaces. Basically for whe…

    I'd forgotten the bit in here about the storage hierarchy, especially optical disks and immutable storage. I'm finding the modern "big data" stack with blob stores, immutable stora…

    Interesting point. I don't think I have that particular use case, but I can definitely imagine it. I'd think especially with dates in the far future and the timezone offsets are al…

    A built-in timestamp type that stores both the UTC time, the originating timezone IANA name, and the timezone offset. Without loss. "it was 2:01am on November 5th, in America/Los_A…

    Half my job is doing this in reverse by accumulating deltas over streams and materializing the current state in various caching tiers. I'd love this to be native feature in PG, but…
