You can't tune your way out of this constraint. The heap table and MVCC implementation put a hard ceiling on what can be accomplished without reaching for another tool.

That post is about how Postgres doesn't scale for write-heavy workloads and that they had to move those workloads to Cosmos DB. For the rest of the remaining mostly-read workload t…

Did you miss that a company attorney acknowledged "the ketamine therapy issue has factored into the termination?"

There's literally nothing in that post of substance, other than the fact the Zig community is obsessed with trying to "prove him wrong" or some other such nonsense. Jarred's respon…

You seem to lack a basic understanding of what a market is in the context of a monopoly, and you can't argue your way around a bad foundation. > our argument is basically "the law …

Of course not, but most folks poking at Microsoft are just borrowing their opinion from other people and regurgitating it for karma. I'm happy to crap on MS for bad decisions, but …
