I use PostgreSQL full text search and GIN indexing and often find it to be good enough and fast enough without the hassle to have to handle a second engine just for search.

If I may:

Their is a huge conflict of ingerest of giving this power to a major economical actor that vastly depends on public investment and under public scrutinity.

Executive should have the audit right and in some measure probably it should be widespread to all citizens up to sensitive data not being leaked. But what good is there to give this power solely to one of the richest and more powerful man in the world? This is crazy.

Logging is static in CLI world but you can reproduce this easily with pdb in python

Recently I found myself happy to find bug in code I have writtdn for those reasons.

It can be useful for improving ingestion pipeline: put your pdf collection in a temp table and then extract with pure SQL the information you want.

Or toothpath dynamic.

Any syntax with a let operator to name stuff or a lambda abstraction.

I don't understand at all my kids choices in game or way of spending time at all

It seems completely random but in a coherent way. It is wonderful.

Anyway, you are right and not pedantic at all.

Sealable spreadsheet is also awesome ! Congrats for the delivery.

So who build an hackernews room for fun ?

If you have an infra that need to scale so much then Postgresql isn't the right tool indeed. The right tools for your use case probably doesn't even exists and you will have to build one.

It is not a mystery why all webscale companies endup designing their own DB technology.

That being said, most of the DB in the wild are not remotely at those scale. I have seen my share of Postgresql/ElasticSearch combo to handle below TB data and just collapsing because of the overeng of administrating two DB in one app.
