Apache Polaris Graduates to Top-Level Project Apache Polaris graduates to an Apache Software Foundation Top-Level Project, advancing open lakehouse interoperability and strengthening Snowflake’s open source commitment

Apache Polaris has graduated to a top-level project! This has been a long time coming, and we love that it makes life even easier for Iceberg users to get value from their data. Congratulations to all of my Apache Polaris friends.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Want to unlock the real potential of #GenAI? It starts with well-built data fundamentals. πŸ’‘

My @allthingsopen.bsky.social keynote shows how you can combine AI tools like #GeminiCLI & OSS data tools like #Iceberg to build those fundamentals.

Shane Glass stands on a stage during a keynote talk at All Things Open 2025, holding a slide clicker and gesturing with his right hand while delivering a presentation. Lamar, a gray plush elephant toy, rests on the podium beside him. A large audience is visible, seated at tables in the dimly lit conference hall.

I've heard both GEO (generative engine optimized) and AEO (AI engine optimized)

I'm not a fan of either. They feel too "we have to map to existing paradigms" when they aren't a great fit

Less than 1 week until @allthingsopen.bsky.social kicks off! My buddy Lamar and I can't wait to see everyone in Raleigh. Be sure to check out my Monday morning keynote so we can address the elephant in the room to kickoff #AllThingsOpen

Explaining the Bible to the literal Pope is a level of ignorance and ego that I fear humanity may never be able to exceed

Haha yeah your skeet saved me from seeing a spoiler. Though after watching the Steelers game yesterday, it would've been less painful to see it

Good morning #CommunityOverCode 2025! If you're here in Minneapolis for ASF's Community over Code 2025, I would love to say hi and get to know the community even better! You can probably find me in any of the data talks. If not, DM me! Let's grab your beverage of choice and chat πŸ˜€

I think depends on the nature of the data. Are there changing trends throughout the month or are they single data points measured at fixed point each month? If throughout, I'd say between so it's clear the measures between are in that month. If fixed, I'd say at aligned

There are a lot of technologies that succeed because they map our way of thinking to existing paradigms! For example: Your turn signal clicks because it used to use a relay that made that noise. We no longer use manual relays, but the noise remains!

The United States is THE ONLY COUNTRY ON EARTH that cannot prevent school shootings. It's obviously not just mental health

One night, I was getting my 4YO ready for bed and I said "I love you" to him and he goes "yeah" as nonchalantly as anyone has ever said anything

Kids know how to humble you faster than anyone

What's new in Apache Iceberg v3? The Apache Iceberg project is taking on the challenge of how to bring database-like agility to petabyte-scale datasets stored in open cloud storage.

Data engineers, take note: Apache Iceberg v3 is here!πŸŽ‰ New binary deletion vectors make CDC, row-level updates can be made much faster, and more! Read the latest Google Open Source blog post for all the details. #DataEngineering #ApacheIceberg

MLB Umpires Have Gotten Much Better At Calling Balls & Strikes J.J. Cooper digs into historical data on balls and strikes to see just how much better today's umpires are at calling games.

This is a great example of how data can be used to create a feedback loop that helps humans improve from @jjcoop36.bsky.social and the team at @baseballamerica.com! www.baseballamerica.com/stories/mlb-...

a man in a suit and tie is talking to another man and says `` i need some pie . '' ALT: a man in a suit and tie is talking to another man and says `` i need some pie . ''

If I ever build a BI tool, the UI will have a button for pie charts. But instead of creating a visualization, it'll just show them this and a LONG text explanation of why they shouldn't use pie charts
