What's the point of such a famous database getting more stars on GitHub? Maybe my perspective is different but to me MariaDB is the default choice of relational DB after PostgreSQL

Kind of agree, though using MariaDB is infinitely easier on Windows than Postgres.

Care to expand on this so perhaps Postgres people can attempt to make it better?

I've always hated how Postgres merged users, groups, and roles. Users and roles are different in Maria and last I checked, all three are different in Oracle.

I can see how Postgre's evolved that way out of history, when MySQL was thought of as a toy DB. It seems like they added features as a reactionary action then merged them to simplify and now we have three things that are essentially the same. It leads to confusion organization by organization.

It was picked as the KPI for someone responsible for community / communications?

I'm not a DBA or sysadmin, but naïvely I feel like there's a difference between adding it to the client prompt and adding it to the server log. One-time startup messages in prompts/REPLs/etc. are noise (most of the time) anyway, but I feel like I'd expect logs to only contain things actually relevant to the operation of the software. Curious if anyone else feels this way.

It will be interesting to see the uptick in stars if any. The real gold in this thread however is the link to https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02... Seriously, it's a wild (and heart-breaking) story about js-core maintainer adding a similar line for funding, receiving many hateful answers, while in debt and even going to prison, then not being able to leaveRussia, just for the sake of continu…

The thing about the two women crawling on the road at night is the stuff of nightmares. I once saw two women - a mother and daughter - drunkenly rolling on the road at a major junction late at night. There was no way on earth a driver coming the other way would have seen them. I had to get out of my vehicle, run across and pull them out of the road. You can imagine their delight and gratitude /s. It was truly scary.

idk, this kind of thing is a "what if everyone did it?" kind of thing. It just results in the whole channel turning to noise. But then I have developed pretty significant banner blindness despite using adblock such that attempts to grab my attention will often result in being completely ignored.
