Happy new year from Kyiv :-) 00:30, air raid sirens went off, and more explosions. Looks like a country-wide alarm is in place right now.

Slava Ukraini! Best wishes and Good Hunting from a Brit looking for revenge for the attack on my local town (Salisbury). Good people here are working night and day to support the fight against Russia and I hope we see continued progress in 2023. Victory can't come soon enough!

You're not wrong - I've actually been coding all day and now for my first Amazon Redshift management product, to get it out to the first two test customers in the next two or so days; all the money it makes is going to the Ukrainian military.

Just posted a screenshot on Masto of per-database blocks, rows and i/o info.

That info is going to be available for databases, nodes, slices, groups, and users, on a per-cluster and per-database basis level (with two exceptions - no blocks/rows info for cluster-level groups or users, because you can't know at the cluster level which users own which table).

Norway entered the new year 27 minutes ago (though my particular little nook is squarely in the GMT zone, details, schmetails.)

Happy New Year to all - let's hope 2023 proves less eventful than 2022 was (for all the wrong reasons)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Anno Domini

We call it that, but Jesus was born somewhere around 5 BC

I know this is very HN, but I thought it was about 6AD - there is some evidence of Herod running a census around then IIRR. (And no Joseph and Mary would not have had to travel for the census - that woukd defeat the point of a census ... It seems that is just a way to get Jesus born in Bethlehem as opposed to out of the way nowhere Nazareth).

Russia hellbent on giving you guys free spicy fireworks

Actually, I did see one firework - a little red flare, someone hand threw it out from their apartment window, about 20 floors up :-)

About 10 minutes after midnight, there were broad, flicking flashes of light from the north, which were in the dark lighting the clouds up, and you can see the light from pretty far away. I'm guessing it was related to the incoming volley of drones. This was about 20 minutes before the air raid warnings went off.
