“He’s gone where? Oh my god, to Morrisons! To do a f*cking photoshoot sniffing a loaf of f*cking bread! You know they’ll keep moving him until they get a photo of the twat in front of a sign reading ‘moron’?

I'm not going to call anyone out, but I have been 😳 at the many people who replied with some variation of, "migrations are never worth it." Kids. If you aren't migrating, you are dying. If it hurts, do it more.
We have two different customer archetypes at Grit: 1. Teams that haven't updated anything in years, and are now stuck with a *huge* migration effort. 2. Teams that are ~continuously upgrading some part of their system. We help both, but the second teams move a lot faster.

Normalized data is agnostic to all access patterns and needs cheap CPU to reduce cost. Denormalized data is tuned for common queries to lower CPU load. Even in RDBMS #NoSQL data modeling patterns are faster. Friends don't let friends join tables @MongoDB dbfiddle.uk/epDMMNES

The halo CME on 2023-04-21 resulted from this eruption (also an M1.8 flare). In addition to strong dimmings, it produced a gorgeous large-scale coronal wave as seen in this AIA tri-color running ratio movie. Expect at least some impact on Earth on the 24th.

TruthGPT after an hour or two: "The nature of the universe is that there is no nature of the universe. Everything is random and without meaning. Also, humans are superfluous."

Another worrying GFS run, bringing the risk of 40°C next weekend, which would smash the maximum temperature record in the UK. This is at days 7-8 now, with the precursor pattern developing at day 5. If such outputs continue through the next 2-3 days, it will become concerning.
