Taking a moment to marvel at the photography of Harry Gruyaert.

A high contrast colour photo of a person in a cream coloured coat and hat waiting at a crossing. There's a green car and a person in leather on a motorbike.

A man in a suit stands on a blue and white bathroom regarding himself in a mirror. It's very cinematic.

A garage with a fuel pump, a Volkswagen Beetle, and strong sunlight hitting a building in cream and red.

The foggy window of a launderette, tinted green. A bike is propped against the window.

Fuji-san was being coy today, but the park was lovely nonetheless. A really special spot.

I really bloody love this event. It’s been awesome hanging out with people and I enjoyed the talks I got to. Lots of session clashes this afternoon, so I have a bunch of videos to watch in a few weeks’ time. For now though, a couple more hours of this chaos 💖 #FOSDEM

Which version of MySQL are you running, exactly? MariaDB and MySQL each have slightly different implementations of this.

I've been helping the open source Vitess team with a rebrand, starting with an updated logo. The mark represents horizontal database sharding. Hopefully a new site design will follow soon.

I count, this first day of another year, what remains. —Jane Hirshfield

$Counting, This New Year’s Morning, What Powers Yet Remain To Me by Jane Hirshfield The world asks, as it asks daily: And what can you make, can you do, to change my deep-broken, fractured? I count, this first day of another year, what remains. I have a mountain, a kitchen, two hands. Can admire with two eyes the mountain, actual, recalcitrant, shuffling its pebbles, sheltering foxes and beetles. Can make black-eyed peas and collards. Can make, from last year’s late-ripening persimmons, a pudding. Can climb a stepladder, change the bulb in a track light. For four years, I woke each day first to the mountain, then to the question. The feet of the new sufferings followed the feet of the old, and still they surprised. I brought salt, brought oil, to the question. Brought sweet tea, brought postcards and stamps. For four years, each day, something. Stone did not become apple. War did not become peace. Yet joy still stays joy. Sequins stay sequins. Words still bespangle, bewilder. Today, I woke without answer. The day answers, unpockets a thought from a friend don’t despair of this falling world, not yet didn’t it give you the asking$

We Europeans (including the UK) have no time to be depressed, to be angry, or to be scared. Too much time has been wasted over the past two years. No more burying one’s head in the sand, no more hoping for the best. Time to step up. For our security, for Ukraine, for our future.

With, say, an espresso, the water is in touch with the coffee grounds for maybe up to 30 seconds. With cold brew, the exposure time tends to be anywhere between 12 and 48 hours. :)
