Как мы перестали гонять данные туда-сюда и подружили OLTP с аналитикой: знакомьтесь, Postgres Pro AXE

«HTAP», «единая платформа для OLTP и OLAP», «никаких ETL» — такие обещания в индустрии делают каждые полгода. Обычно за этим следуют компромиссы: либо транзакции деградируют, либо аналитика тормозит, либо архитектура превращается в Франкенштейна.

И все это после того, как вчера ты обновил свой компьютер. С июньским накопительным апдейтом Windows 11 она стала реальностью для некоторого числа пользователей, в основном с бизнес-ноутбуками.

Venus' Strange Rotation Was Likely Triggered By a High Velocity Moon-Sized Impactor

The impact could have dramatically altered Venus' spin and melted nearly its entire mantle. Universe Today reports: Venus' bizarre and extraordinarily slow retrograde rotation on its axis has long puzzled planetary scientists.

Instead, it was driven more by "personality differences" between the AI company and Trump administration.
