Is Parquet becoming the bottleneck? Why new storage formats are emerging in 2025 (Lance, Vortex, and more) Parquet gave data lakes a common language: columnar layout, good compression, and fast scans. That still works well for classic analytics. But workloads have changed. We now mix wide scans with point…

Nice weekend read: Is Parquet becoming the bottleneck? Why new storage formats are emerging in 2025 (Lance, Vortex, and more)

Why new storage formats are emerging aside from parquet as queryable formats - object storage, different access patterns, etc

9P Server mode, mounted as a Volume on K8s sounds extremely appealing. I guess the currently missing component is a 9P CSI driver

It's been a few months and there is no way back. Every time I end up on google search feels painful. The only reason I ever go back is when looking up an address

Having a single timezone worldwide would be the biggest gdp boost since the industrial revolution. Don't ping me I'll be busy converting timezones

Thank you for your blog post on your shoulder surgery @brikis98.bsky.social
I randomly came across it, in between posts about terraform, and it greatly helped me prepare for mine

Anyone has experimented with voice assistant tools to code? Preferably running on laptop rather than on cloud. I'm getting shoulder surgery soon and anything faster than 1-hand typing would be a win.

πŸ“£Techmeme is hiring another part-time editor…for the first time in years: techmeme.com/jobs

It's a small role for now, just a few hours per week, but may expand. Our immediate need is someone who can work around this time of day (~5pm Pacific), though we may soon need to staff for other hours too.

GitHub - terramate-io/terramate: Terramate CLI is an open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Orchestration and Code Generation tool for Terraform, OpenTofu and Terragrunt. Terramate CLI is an open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Orchestration and Code Generation tool for Terraform, OpenTofu and Terragrunt. - terramate-io/terramate

I have been working on moving a lot of Terraform topologies to GitOps workflows using github.com/terramate-io/terramate and it's been a great experience. I can deep dive a bit on that if anyone is interested

This becomes a big limitation in terms of what such tools can do. No multi-steps / calling external tools without going to text

I had no idea chatgpt advanced voice mode and like don't go speech --> text --> llm --> text --> speech, but directly audio --> llm --> audio with audio encoder/decoder so they can be fast enough to converse

Infrastructure Vendors Are in a Tough Spot Cloud native, AI-enabled, post-ZIRP companies are the new apex predator.

First post of the year! @andypavlo.bsky.social got me thinking about why Confluent didn't build WarpStream.

My conclusion: legacy infrastructure companies are going to have a tough time against cloud native, AI-enabled, post-ZIRP competitors.

I love databases because they remove so much development complexity from the application side by providing strong guarantees. Spanner / Neon / Aurora DSQL and similar also removes a lot of operation complexity. Now the main question is the price!

sure checking with `aws s3 ls` instead of `aws sts get-caller-identity` means I may end up working in the wrong account but at least I'm saving 0.6s
