Yes, my team had a direct issue with this on Aurora Postgres, at least. This is PG9 but then kept happening all the way into PG12 until we got rid of all but like 5 roles. Above like 4000 roles we experienced a significant lag on every query, sometimes on the order of seconds. At scaled somewhat linearly. I even wrote to Tom Lane and he said that area of Postgres is poorly optimized.

Pick up some oysters, for eating? If these oysters serve as a pre-filter for the plant, would you not want to eat them as these oysters would contain all sorts of pollution?

It was baffling to me when I was in Florida and rented a car. I was driving on the highways and no matter where I was, every highway was littered with abandoned cars. I had things fly off from a car into mine (splash shield). And then I realized its most likely because Florida has no safety inspections.

As a car enthusiast myself, I'm glad Mass has safety regulations and I don't have to jeopardize my safety or breathe pollution from cars rolling coal. Safety and car hobbies can go hand in hand.

Not even going to point out that the OP isn’t even trying to overlook all the good things he did.

It’s a stretch to argue that a lifetime of neglect is a singular mistake. This was an ongoing issue that he kept choosing over and over again.

Blaming aftermarket parts for non related failures is very common for luxury brands especially German ones: Audi & Mercedes are biggest culprits.

Some Audi dealers would void almost your entire power train warranty for simple things like an aftermarket cold air intake.

Once again, the usage here has nothing to do with master-slave idea. Obviously there is precedent for breaking changes. The benefits must outweigh the costs, the cost here is monumental, and the benefit here is non-existent.

Git's use of master has nothing to do with the master/slave idea. The word master been a word longer than it has been associated with slavery. Not every use of master is offensive/rooted in slavery/racism.

There is talk on the originating GitHub issue to make a list of repos/authors that still have master as a branch name as a way to shame them into compliance.

It will break a lot of code and a lot of tools. For what? To virtue signal about something that has nothing to do with the current civil rights movement?

Should we change the word master data? Git is also an offensive term. This is absurd.

No it doesn’t. But what do I know running several clusters in production for a $100 million business? Please read up on the subject before arguing.

I’m not sure if I can even understand what you are talking about or why you said that.

If you have pid,{name:’val’, others...}. And an index of name with a million John and one Jane. Good luck getting fast results.

Postgres has terrible indexing with json. It doesn’t keep statistics so simple queries sometimes take much longer than expected due to query planner not knowing much about the data.

The second I'm presented with a pop-up as the first thing on a website, I close out.
