Bart continues his unofficial series where he listens for where I say, "I wish I understood..." This time, he explains the history of how Podfeet.com has evolved over the last 20 years. We started with a shared server, then a virtual machine, to a dedicated server, and to a separate database server. He explains how the LAMP Stack works (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) and all the work Apache had to do. Then he explains how, when I moved Podfeet.com to NGINX + PHP-FPM, things got much more efficient. He even takes us through how Cloudflare protects my site and provides caching to speed up access to Podfeet.com to the benefit of all.

Transcript Brett + 2 Welcome to the Overtired Podcast Jeff: [00:00:00] Hello everybody. This is the Overtired podcast. The three of us are all together for the first time since the Carter administration. Um, it is great to see you both here. I am Jeff Severance Gunzel if I didn’t say that already. Um, and I’m here with Christina Warren and I’m here with Brett Terpstra and hello to both of you. Brett: Hi. Jeff: Great to see you both. Brett: Yeah, it’s good to see you too. I feel like I was really deadpan in the pre-show. I’ll try to liven it up for you. I was a horrible audience. You were cracking jokes and I was just Jeff: that’s true. Christina, before you came on, man, I was hot. I was on fire and Brett was, all Brett was doing was chewing and dropping Popsicle parts. Brett: Yep. I ate, I ate part of a coconut outshine Popsicle off of a concrete floor, but Jeff: It is true, and I didn’t even see him check it [00:01:00] for cat hair, Brett: I did though. Jeff: but I believe he did because he’s a, he’s a very Brett: I just vacuumed in Jeff: He’s a very good American Brett: All right. Christina’s Health Journey Brett: Well, um, I, Christina has a lot of health stuff to share and I wanna save time for that. So let’s kick off the mental health corner. Um, let’s let Christina go first, because if it takes the whole show, it takes the whole show. Go for it. Christina: Uh, I, I will not take this hold show, but thank you. Yeah. So, um, my mental health is okay-ish. Um, I would say the okay-ish part is, is because of things that are happening with my physical health and then some of the medications that I’ve had to be on, um, uh, to deal with it. Uh, prednisone. Fucking sucks, man. Never nev n never take it if you can avoid it. Um, but why Christina, why are you on prednisone or why were you on prednisone for five days? Um, uh, and I’m not anymore to be clear, but that certainly did not help my mental health. Um, at the beginning of November, I woke up and I thought that I’d [00:02:00] slept on my shoulder wrong. And, um, uh, and, and just some, some background. I, I don’t know if this is pertinent to how my injury took place or not, but, but it, I’m sure that it didn’t help. Um, I have scoliosis and in the top and the bottom of my spine, so I have it at the top of my, like, neck area and my lower back. And so my back is like a crooked s um, this will be relevant in a, in a second, but, but I, I thought that I had slept on my back bunny, and I was like, okay, well, all right, it hurts a lot, but fine. Um, and then it, a, a couple of days passed and it didn’t get any better, and then like a week passed and I was at the point where I was like, I almost feel like I need to go to the. Emergency room, I’m in pain. That is that significant. Um, and, you know, didn’t get any better. So I took some of grant’s, Gabapentin, and I took, um, some, some, uh, a few other things and I was able to get in with like a, a, a sports and spine guy. Um, and um, [00:03:00] he looked at me and he was like, yeah, I think that you have like a, a, a bolting disc, also known as a herniated disc. Go to physical therapy. See me later. We’ll, we’ll deal with it. Um. Basically like my whole left side was, was, was really sore and, and I had a lot of pain and then I had numbness in my, my fingers and um, and, and that was a problem the next day, which was actually my birthday. The numbness had at this point spread to my right side and also my lower extremities. And so at this point I called the doctor and he was like, yeah, you should go to the er. And so I went to the ER and, and they weren’t able to do anything for me other than give me, you know, like, um, you know, I was hoping they might give me like, some sort of steroid injection or something. They wouldn’t do anything other than, um, basically, um, they gave me like another type of maybe, maybe pain pill or whatever. Um, but that allowed the doctor to go ahead and. Write, uh, write up an MRI took forever for me to get an MRI, I actually had to get it in Atlanta. [00:04:00] Fun fact, uh, sometimes it is cheaper to just pay and not go through insurance and get an MR MRI and, um, a, um, uh, an x-ray, um, I was able to do it for $450 Jeff: Whoa. Really? Christina: Yeah, $400 for the MR mri. $50 for the x-ray. Jeff: Wow. Christina: Yeah. Yeah. Brett: how I, they, I had an MRI, they charged me like $1,200 and then they failed to bill insurance ’cause I was between insurance. Christina: Yes. Yeah. So what happened was, and and honestly that was gonna be the situation that I was in, not between insurance stuff, but they weren’t even gonna bill insurance. And insurance only approved certain facilities and to get into those facilities is almost impossible. Um, and so, no, there are a lot of like get an MR, I now get a, you know, mammogram, get ghetto, whatever places. And because America’s healthcare system is a HealthScape, you can bypass insurance and they will charge you way less than whatever they bill insurance for. So I, I don’t know if it’s part of the country, you know, like Seattle I think might [00:05:00] probably would’ve been more expensive. But yeah, I was able to find this place like a mile from like, not even a mile from where my parents lived, um, that did the x-rays and the MRI for $450 total. Brett: I, I hate, I hate that. That’s true, but Christina: Me too. Me too. No, no. It pisses me off. Honestly, it makes me angry because like, I’m glad that I was able to do that and get it, you know, uh, uh, expedited. Then I go into the spine, um, guy earlier this week and he looks at it and he’s like, yep, you’ve got a massive bulging disc on, on C seven, which is the, the part of your lower cervical or cervical spine, which is your neck. Um, and it’s where it connects to your ver bray. It’s like, you know, there are a few things you can do. You can do, you know, injections, you can do surgery. He is like, I’m gonna recommend you to a neurosurgeon. And I go to the neurosurgeon yesterday and he was showing me or not, uh, yeah, yesterday he was showing me the, the, the, the scans and, and showing like you up close and it’s, yeah, it’s pretty massive. Like where, where, where the disc is like it is. You could see it just from one view, like, just from like [00:06:00] looking at it like, kind of like outside, like you could actually like see like it was visible, but then when you zoomed in it’s like, oh shit, this, this thing is like massive and it’s pressing on these nerves that then go into my, my hands and other areas. But it’s pressing on both sides. It’s primarily on my left side, but it’s pressing on on my right side too, which is not good. So, um, he basically was like, okay. He was like, you know, this could go away. He was like, the pain isn’t really what I’m wanting to, to treat here. It’s, it’s the, the weakness because my, my left arm is incredibly weak. Like when they do like the, the test where like they, they push back on you to see like, okay, like how, how much can you, what, like, I am, I’m almost immediately like, I can’t hold anything back. Right? Like I’m, I’m, I’m like a toddler in terms of my strength. So, and, and then I’m freaked out because I don’t have a lot of feeling in my hands and, and that’s terrifying. Um, I’m also. Jeff: so terrifying, Christina: I’m, I’m also like in extreme pain because of, of, of where this sits. Like I can’t sleep well. Like [00:07:00] the whole thing sucks. Like the MRI, which was was like the most painful, like 25 minutes, like of my existence. ’cause I was laying flat on my back. I’m not allowed to move and I’m just like, I’m in just incredible pain with that part of, of, of, of my, my side. Like, it, it was. It was terrible. Um, but, uh, but he was like, yeah. Um, these are the sorts of surgical options we have. Um, he’s gonna, um, do basically what what he wants to do is basically do a thing where he would put in a, um, an artificial or, or synthetic disc. So they’re gonna remove the disc, put in a synthetic one. They’ll go in through the, the front of my throat to access the, my, my, my, my spine. Um, put that there and, um, you know, I’ll, I’ll be overnight in the hospital. Um, and then it’ll be a few weeks of recovery and the, the, the pain should go away immediately. Um, but it, it could be up to two years before I get full, you know, feeling back in my arm. So anyway, Jeff: years, Jesus. And Christina: I mean, and hopefully less than that, but, but it could be [00:08:00] up to that. Jeff: there’s no part of this at this point. That’s a mystery to you, right? Christina: The mystery is, I don’t know how this happened. Jeff: You don’t know how it happened, right? Of course. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Brett: So tell, tell us about the ghastly surgery. The, the throat thing really threw me like, I can’t imagine that Christina: yeah, yeah. So, well, ’cause the thing is, is that usually if what they just do, like spinal fusion, they’ll go in at the back of your neck, um, and then they’ll remove the, the, um, the, the, the, the disc. And then they’ll fuse your, your, your two bones together. Basically. They’ll, they’ll, they’ll, they’ll fuse this part of the vertebrae, but because they’re going to be replacing the, the disc, they need more room. So that’s why they have to go in through the, through, through basically your throat so that they can have more room to work. Jeff: Good lord. No thank you. Brett: Ugh. Wow. Jeff: Okay. Brett: I am really sorry that is happening. That is, that is, that dwarfs my health concerns. That is just constant pain [00:09:00] and, and it would be really scary. Christina: Yeah. Yeah. It’s not great. It’s not great, but I’m, I’m, I’m doing what I can and, uh, like I have, you know, a small amount of, of Oxycodine and I have like a, a, a, you know, some other pain medication and I’m taking the gabapentin and like, that’s helpful. The bad part is like your body, like every 12, 15 hours, like whatever, like the, the, the cycle is like, you feel it leave your system and like if you’re asleep, you wake up, right? Like, it’s one of those things, like, you immediately feel it, like when it leaves your system. And I’ve never had to do anything for pain management before. And they have me on a very, they have me like on the smallest amount of like, oxycodone you can be on. Um, and I’m using it sparingly because I don’t wanna, you know, be reliant on, on it or whatever. But it, it, but it is one of those things where I’m like, yeah, like sometimes you need fucking opiates because, you know, the pain is like so constant. And the thing is like, what sucks is that it’s not always the same type of pain. Like sometimes it’s throbbing, sometimes it’s sharp, sometimes it’s like whatever. It sucks. But the hardest thing [00:10:00] is like, and. This does impact my mental health. Like it’s hard to sleep. Like, and I’m a side sleeper. I’m a side sleeper, and I’m gonna have to become a back sleeper. So, you know. Yeah. It’s just, it’s, it’s not great. It’s not great, but, you know, that, that, that, that, that’s me. The, the good news is, and I’m very, very gratified, like I have a good surgeon. Um, I’m gonna be able to get in to get this done relatively quickly. He had an appointment for next week. I don’t think that insurance would’ve even been able to approve things fast enough for, for, for that regard. And I have, um, commitments that I can’t make then. And I, and that would also mean that I wouldn’t be able to go visit my family for Christmas. So hopefully I’ll do it right after Christmas. I’m just gonna wait, you know, for, for insurance to, to do its thing, knock on wood, and then schedule, um, from there. But yeah, Jeff: Woof. Christina: so that’s me. Um, uh, who wants to go next? Jeff or, uh, Jeff or Brett? Jeff: It’s like, that’s me. Hot potato throwing it. Brett: I’ll, I’ll go. Brett’s Insurance Woes Brett: I can continue on the insurance topic. Um, I was, for a few months [00:11:00] after getting laid off, I was on Minsu, which is Minnesota’s Medicaid, um, v version of Medicaid. And so basically I paid nothing and I had better insurance than I usually have with, uh, you know, a full deductible and premiums and everything. And it was fantastic. I was getting all the care I needed for all of the health stuff I’m going through. Um, I, they, a, a new doctor I found, ordered the 15 tests and I passed out ’cause it was so much blood and. And it, I was getting, but I was getting all these tests run. I was getting results, we were discovering things. And then my unemployment checks, the income from unemployment went like $300 over the cap for Medicaid. So [00:12:00] all of a sudden, overnight I was cut from Medicaid and I had to do an early sign up, and now I’m on courts and it sucks bad. Like they’re not covering my meds. Last month cost me $600. I was also paying. In addition to that, a $300 premium plus every doctor’s visit is 50 bucks out of pocket. So this will hopefully only last until January, and then it’ll flip over and I will be able to demonstrate basically no income, um, until like Mark makes enough money that it gets reported. Um, and even, uh, until then, like I literally am making under the, the poverty limit. So, um, I hope to be back on Medicaid shortly. I have one more month. I’ll have to pay my $600 to refill. I [00:13:00] cashed out my 401k. Um, like things were, everything was up high enough that I had made, I. I had made tens of thousands of dollars just on the investments and the 401k, but I also have a lot of concerns about the market volatility around Nvidia and the AI bubble in general. Um, so taking my money out of the market just felt okay to me. I paid the 10%, uh, penalty Jeff: Mm-hmm. Brett: and ultimately I, I came out with enough cash that I can invest on my own and be able to cover the next six months. Uh, if I don’t have any other income, which I hope to, I hope to not spend my nest egg. Um, but I did, I did a lot of thinking and calculating and I think I made the right choices. But anyway, [00:14:00] that will help if I have to pay for medical stuff that will help. Um. And then I’ve had insomnia, bad on and off. Right now I’m coming off of two days of good sleep. You’re catching me on a good day. Um, but Jeff: Still wouldn’t laugh at my jokes. Brett: before that it was, well, that’s the thing is like before that, it was four nights where I slept two to four hours per night, and by the end of it, I could barely walk. And so two nights of sleep after a stint like that, like, I’m just super, I’m deadpan, I’m dazed. Um, I could lay down and fall asleep at any time. Um, I, so, so keep me awake. Um, but yeah, that’s, that’s, that’s me. Mental health is good. Like I’m in pretty high spirits considering all this, like financial stuff and everything. Like my mood has been pretty stable. I’ve been getting a lot of coding done. I’ll tell you about projects in [00:15:00] a minute, but, um, but that’s, that’s me. I’m done. Jeff: Awesome. I’m enjoying watching your cat roll around, but clearly cannot decide to lay down at this point. Brett: No, nobody is very persnickety. Jeff: I literally have to put my. Well, you say put a cat down like you used to. When you put a kid down for a nap, you say you wanna put ’em down. Right? That’s where it’s coming from. I now have a chair next to my desk, ’cause I have one cat that walks around Yowling at about 11:00 AM while I’m working. And I have to like, put ’em down for a nap. It’s pathetic. It’s pathetic that I do that. Let’s just be clear. Brett: Yeah. Jeff: soulmate though. Jeff’s Mental Health Update Jeff: Um, I’m doing good. I’m, I’m, I’ve been feeling kind of light lately in a nice way. I’ve had ups and downs, but even with the ups and downs, there’s like a, except for one day last week was, there’s just been feeling kind of good in general, which is remarkable in a way. ’cause it’s just like stressful time. There’s some stressful business stuff, like, [00:16:00] a lot of stuff like that. But I’m feeling good and, and just like, uh, yeah, just light. I don’t know, it’s weird. Like, I’ve just been noticing that I feel kind of light and, uh. And not, not manic, not high light. Brett: Yeah. No, that’s Jeff: uh, and that’s, that’s lovely. So yeah. And so I’m doing good. I’m doing good. I fucking, it’s cold. Which sucks ’cause it just means for everybody that’s heard about my workshop over the years, that I can’t really go out there and have it be pleasant Brett: It’s, it’s been Minnesota thus far. Has had, we’ve had like one, one Sub-Zero day. Jeff: whatever. It’s fucking cold. Christina: Yeah. What one? Brett? Brett. It’s December 6th as we’re recording this one Sub-Zero day. That’s insane. Brett: Is it Jeff: Granted, granted I’ve been dressing warm, so I’m ready to go out the door for ice related things. Meaning, meaning government, ice, Brett: Uh, yeah. Yeah. Jeff: So I like wear my long underwear during [00:17:00] the day. ’cause actually like recently. So at my son’s school, which is like six blocks from here, um, has a lot of Somali immigrants in it. And, and uh, and there was a, at one point there was ice activity in the other direction, um, uh, uh, near me. And so neighbors put out a call here around so that at dismissal time people would pair up at all the intersections surrounding the school. And, um, and like a quick signal group popped up, whatever. It was so amazing because like we all just popped out there. And by the time I got out, uh, everyone was already like, posted up and I was like, I’m a, in these situations, I am a wanderer. You want me roaming? I don’t want to pair up with somebody I don’t like, I just, I grabbed a camera with a Zoom on it and like, I was like, I’m in roam. Um, it’s what I was as an activist, what I was as a reporter, like it’s just my nature. Um, but like. Everybody was out and like, and they were just like, they were ready man. And then we got like the all clear and you could just see people in the [00:18:00] neighborhood just like standing down and going home. But because of the true threat and the ongoing arrests here, now that the Minneapolis stuff has started, like I do, I was like wearing long underwear just, and I have a little bag by the door ready to like pop out if something comes up and I can be helpful. Um, and uh, and I guess what I’m saying is I should use that to go into the garage as well if I’m already prepared. Brett: Right. Jeff: But here’s, okay, so here’s a mental health thing actually. So I, one of the, I’ve gone through a few years of just sort of a little bit of paralysis around being able to just, I don’t know what, like do anything that is kind of project related that takes some thinking, whatever it is, like I’m talking about around the house or things that have kind of broken over the years, whatever. So I’ve had this snowblower and it’s a really good snowblower. It’s got headlights. And, uh, and I used to love snow blowing the entire block. Like it just made me feel good, made me feel useful. Um, and sorry I cough. I left it outside for a [00:19:00] year for a, like a winter and a spring and water got into the gas tank. It rusted out in there. I knew I couldn’t start it or I’d ruin the whole damn engine. So I left it for two years and I felt bad about myself. But this year, just like probably a month before the first big snowfall, I fucking replaced a gas tank and a carburetor on a machine. And I have never done anything like that in my life. And so then we got the snowfall and I, and I snow blowed this whole block Brett: Nice. Jeff: great. ’cause now they all owe me. Brett: I, uh, I have a, uh, so I have a little electric powered, uh, snowblower that can handle like two inches of snow. Um, and, and on big snowfalls, if you get out there every hour and keep up with it, it, it works. But, but I, my back right now, I can’t stand for, I can’t stand still for 10 minutes and I can’t move for more than like five minutes. And so I’m, I’m very disabled and El has good days and bad days, uh, thus [00:20:00] far. L’s been out there with a shovel, um, really being the hero. But we have a next door neighbor with a big gas powered snowblower. And so we went over, brought them gifts, and, um, asked if they would take care of our driveway on days we couldn’t, uh, for like, you know, we’d pay ’em 25 bucks to do the driveway. And, uh, and they were, he was still reluctant to accept money. Um. But, but we both agreed it was better to like make it a, a transaction. Jeff: Oh my God. You don’t want to get into weird Minnesota neighbor relational. Brett: right. You don’t want the you owe me thing. Um, so, so we have that set up. But in the process we made really good friends with our neighbor. Like we sat down in their living room for I think 45 minutes and just like talked about health and politics and it was, it was really fun. They’re, they’re retired. They’re in their [00:21:00] seventies and like act, he always looks super grumpy. I always thought he was a mean old man. He’s actually, he laughs more easily than most people I’ve ever met. Um, he’s actually, when people say, oh, he is actually a teddy bear, this guy really is, he’s just jovial. Uh, he just has resting angry old man face. Jeff: Or like my, I have public mis throat face, like when I’m out and about, especially when I’m shopping, I know that my face is, I’m gonna fucking kill you if you look me in the eye Brett: I used Jeff: is not my general disposition. Brett: people used to tell me that about myself, but I feel like I, I carry myself differently these days than I did when I was younger. Jeff: You know what I learned? Do you, have you both watched Veep, Christina: Yes, Jeff: you know, Richard sp split, right? Um, and, and he always kind of has this sweet like half smile and he is kind of looking up and I, I figured out at one point I was in an airport, which is where my kill everybody face especially comes up. Just to be clear. TSA, it’s just a feeling inside. I [00:22:00] have no desire to act to this out. I realized that if I make the Richard Plet face, which I can try to make for you now, which is something like if I just make the Richard Plet face, my whole disposition Brett: yeah. Yeah. Jeff: uh, and I even feel a little better. And so I just wanna recommend that to people. Look up Richard Spt, look at his face. Christina: Hey, future President Bridges split. Jeff: future President Richard Splat, also excellent in the Detroiters. Um, that’s all, uh, that’s all I wanted to say about that. Brett: I have found that like when I’m texting with someone, if I start to get frustrated, you know, you know that point where you’re still adding smiley emoticons even though you’re actually not, you’re actually getting pissed off, but you don’t wanna sound super bitchy about it, so you’re adding smile. I have found that when I add a smiley emoji in those circumstances, if I actually smile before I send it, it like my [00:23:00] mood will adjust to match, to match the tone I’m trying to convey, and it lessens my frustration with the other person. Jeff: a little joy wrist rocket. Christina: Yeah. Hey, I mean, no, but hey, but, but that, that, that, that, that’s interesting. I mean, they’re, they, they’ve done studies that like show that, right? That like show like, you know, I mean, like, some of this is all like bullshit to a certain extent, but there is something to be said for like, you know, like the power of like positive thinking and like, you know, if you go into things with like, different types of attitudes or even like, even if you like, go into job interviews or other situations, like you act confident or you smile, or you act happy or whatever. Even if you’re not like it, the, the, the, the euphoria, you know, that those sorts of uh, um, endorphin reactions or whatever can be real. So that’s interesting. Brett: Yeah, I found, I found going into job interviews with my usual sarcastic and bitter, um, kind of mindset, Jeff: I already hate this job. Brett: it doesn’t play well. It doesn’t play well. So what are your weaknesses? Fuck off. Um,[00:24:00] Christina: right. Well, well, well, I hate people. Jeff: Yeah. Dealing with motherfuckers like you, that’s one weakness.

Jeff Tweedy Jeff: What was, uh, I was watching a Stephen Colbert interview with Jeff Tweedy, who just put out a triple album and, uh, it was a very thoughtful, sweet interview. And then Stephen Colbert said, you know, you’re not supposed to do this. And Jeff Tweety said, it’s all part of my career long effort to leave the public wanting less. Christina: Ha, Jeff: That was a great bit. Christina: that’s a fantastic bit. A side note, there are a couple of really good NPR, um, uh, tiny desks that have come out in the last couple of month, uh, couple of weeks. Um, uh, one is shockingly, I, I’ll, I’ll just be a a, a fucking boomer about it. The Googo dolls. Theirs was [00:27:00] great. It’s fantastic. They did a great job. It already has like millions of views, like it wrecked up like over a million views, I think like in like, like less than 24 hours. They did a great job, but, uh, but Brandy Carlisle, uh, did one, um, the other day and hers is really, really good too. So, um, so yeah. Yeah, exactly. So yeah. Anyway, you said, you saying Jeff pd maybe, I don’t know how I got from Wilco to like, you know, there, Jeff: Yeah. Well, they’ve done some good, he’s done his own good Christina: he has, he has done his own. Good, good. That’s honestly, that’s probably what I was thinking of, but Jeff: It’s my favorite Jeff besides me because Bezos, he’s not in the, he’s not in the game. Christina: No. No, he’s not. No. Um, he, he’s, he’s not on the Christmas card list at all. Jeff: Oh man. Jeff’s Concert Marathon Jeff: Can I just tell you guys that I did something, um, I did something crazy a couple weeks ago and I went to three shows in one week, like I was 20 fucking two, Brett: Good grief. Jeff: and. It was a blast. So, okay, so the background of this is my oldest son [00:28:00] loves hip hop, and when we drive him to college and back, or when I do, it’s often just me. Um, he, he goes deep and he, it’s a lot of like, kind of indie hip hop and a lot. It’s just an interesting, he listens to interesting shit, but he will go deep and he’ll just like, give me a tour through someone’s discography or through all their features somewhere, whatever it is. And like, it’s the kind of input that I love, which is just like, I don’t, even if it’s not my genre, like if you’re passionate and you can just weave me through the interrelationship and the history and whatever it is I’m in. So as a result of that, made me a huge fan of Danny Brown and made me a huge fan of the sky, Billy Woods. And so what happened was I went to a hip hop show at the seventh Street entry, uh, which is attached to First Avenue. It’s a little club, very small, lovely little place, the only place my band could sell out. Um, and I watched a hip hop show there on a Monday night, Tuesday night. I went to the Uptown Theater, which Brett is now a actually an operating [00:29:00] theater for shows. Uh, and I, and I saw Danny Brown, but I also saw two hyper pop bands, a genre I was not previously aware of, including one, which was amazing, called Fem Tenal. And I was in line to get into that show behind furries, behind trans Kids. Like it was this, I was the weirdest, like I did not belong. Underscores played, and, and this will mean something to somebody out there, but not, didn’t mean anything to me until that night. And, uh. I felt like such, there were times, not during Danny Brown, Danny Brown’s my age all good. But like there were times where I was in the crowd ’cause I’m tall. Anybody that doesn’t know I’m very tall and I’m wearing like a not very comfortable or safe guy seeming outfit, a black hoodie, a black stocking cap. Like I basically looked like I’m possibly a shooter and, and I’m like standing among all these young people loving it, but feeling a little like, should I go to the back? Even like I was leaving that show [00:30:00] and the only people my age were people’s parents that were waiting to pick them up on the way out. So anyway, that was night two. Danny Brown was awesome. And then two nights later I went to see, this is way more my speed, a band called the Dazzling Kilman who were a band that. Came out in the nineties, St. Louis and a noisy Matthew Rock. Wikipedia claims they invented math rock. It’s a really stupid claim, uh, but it’s a lovely, interesting band and it’s a friend of mine named Nick Sakes, who’s who fronted that band and was in all these great bands back when I was in bands called Colos Mite and Sick Bay, and all this is great shit. So they played a reunion show. In this tiny punk rock club here called Cloudland, just a lovely little punk rock club. And, um, and, and that was like rounded out my week. So like, I was definitely, uh, a tourist the early part of the week, mostly at the Danny Brown Show. But then I like got to come home to my noisy punk rock [00:31:00] on, uh, on Thursday night. And I, I fucking did three shows and it hurt so bad. Like even by the first of three bands on the second night. I was like, I don’t think I can make it. And I do. I already pregame shows with ibuprofen. Just to be really clear, I microdose glucose tabs at shows like, like I am, I am a full on old man doing these things. But, um, I did get some cred with my kids for being at a hyper pop show all by myself. And, Christina: Hell yeah. A a Jeff: friends seemed impressed. Christina: no, as a as, as as they should be. I’m impressed. And like, and I, I, I typically like, I definitely go to like more of like, I go, I go to shows more frequently and, and I’m, I’m even like, I’m, I’m gonna be real with you. I’m like, yeah, three in one week. Jeff: That’s a lot. Christina: That’s a lot. That’s a lot. Jeff: man. Did I feel good when I walked home from that last show though? I was like, I fucking did it. I did not believe I wasn’t gonna bail on at least two of those shows, if not all three. Anyway, just wanted to say Brett: I [00:32:00] do like one show a year, but Jeff: that’s how I’ve been for years this year. I think I’ve seen eight shows. Brett: damn. Jeff: Yeah, it’s Brett: Alright, so you’ve been teasing us about this, this contest you won. Jeff: Yeah, please, Christina. Sorry to push that off. Christina: No, no, no, no. That’s, that’s completely okay. That, that, that, that’s great. Uh, no. Christina Wins Big Christina: So, um, I won two six K monitors. Brett: Damn. Jeff: is that what those boxes are behind you? Christina: Yeah, yeah. This is what the boxes are behind me, so I haven’t been able to get them up because this happened. I got them literally right in the midst of all this stuff with my back. Um, but I do have an Ergotron poll now that is here, and, and Grant has said that he will, will get them up. But yeah, so I won 2 32 inch six K monitors from a Reddit contest. Brett: How, how, how, Jeff: How does this happen? How do I find a Reddit contest? Christina: Yeah. So I got lucky. So I have, I, I have a clearly, well, well, um, there was a little, there was a little bit of like, other step to it than that, but like, uh, so how it worked was basically, um, LG is basically just put out [00:33:00] two, they put out a new 32 inch six K monitor. I’ll have it linked in, in, in the show notes. Um, so we’ve talked about this on this podcast before, but like one of my big, like. Pet peeve, like things that I can’t get past. It’s like I need like a retina screen. Like I need like the, the perfect pixel doubling thing for that the Mac Os deals with, because I’ve used a 5K screen, either through an iMac or um, an lg, um, ultra fine or, um, a, uh, studio display. For like 11 years. And, and I, and I’ve been using retina displays on laptops even longer than that. And so if I use like a regular 4K display, like it just, it, it doesn’t work for me. Um, you can use apps like, um, like better control and other things to kind of emulate, like what would be like if you doubled the resolution, then it, it down, you know, um, of samples that, so that. It looks better than, than if it’s just like the, the, the 4K stuff where in the, the user interface things are too big and whatnot. And to be clear, this is a Macco West problem. If [00:34:00] you are using Windows or Linux or any other operating system that does fractional scaling, um, correctly, then this is not a problem. But Macco West does not do fractional scaling direct, uh, correctly. Um, weirdly iOS can, like, they can do three X resolution and other things. Um, but, but, but Macs does not. And that’s weird because some of the native resolutions on some of the MacBook errors are not even perfectly pixeled doubled, meaning Apple is already having to do a certain amount of like resolution changes to, to fit into their own, created by their, their own hubris, like way of insisting on, on only having like, like two x pixel doubling 18 years ago, we could have had independent, uh, resolutions, uh, um, for, for UI elements and, and, and window bars. But anyway, I, I’m, I’m digressing anyway. I was looking at trying to get either a second, uh, studio display, which I don’t wanna do because Apple’s reportedly going to be putting out a new one. Um, and they’re expensive or getting, um, there are now a number of different six K [00:35:00] displays that are not $6,000 that are on the market. So, um, uh, uh, Asus has one, um, there is one from like a, a Chinese company called like, or Q Con that, um, looks like a, a complete copy of this, of the pro display XDR. It has a different panel, but it’s, it’s six K and they, they’ve copied the whole design and it’s aluminum and it’s glossy and it looks great, but I’d have to like get it from like. A weird distributor, and if I have any issues with it, I don’t really wanna have to send it back to China and whatnot. And then LG has one that they just put out. And so I’ve been researching these on, on Mac rumors and on some other forums. And, um, I, uh, I, somebody in one of the Mac Roomers forums like posted that there was like a contest that LG was running in a few different subreddits where they were like, tell us why you should get one of, like, we’re gonna be giving away like either one or two monitors, and I guess they did this in a few subreddits. Tell us why this would be good for your workflow. And, um, I guess I, I guess I’m one of the people who kind of read the [00:36:00] assignment because it, okay, I’ll just be honest with this, with, with you guys on this podcast, uh, because I, I don’t think anyone from LG will hear this and my answers were accurate anyway. But anyway, this was not the sort of contest where it was like we will randomly select a winner. This was the moderators and lg, were going to read the responses and choose the winner. Jeff: Got it. Christina: So if you spend a little bit of time and thoughtfully write out a response, maybe you stand a better chance of winning the contest. Jeff: yeah, yeah. Put the work in like it was 2002. Christina: Right. Anyway, I still was shocked when I like woke up like on like Halloween and they were like, congratulations, you’ve won two monitors. I’m like, I’m sorry. What? Jeff: That’s amazing. Christina: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Jeff: Nice work. I know I’ve, you know, I’ve been staring at those boxes behind you this whole time, just being like, those look like some sweet monitors. Christina: yeah, yeah. Monitor Setup Challenges Christina: I mean, and, uh, [00:37:00] uh, it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s, and I, I’m very much, so my, my, my only issue is, okay, how am I gonna get these on my desk? So I’m gonna have to do something with my iMac and I’m probably gonna have to get rid of my, my my, my 5K, um, uh, uh, studio display, at least in the short term. Ergotron Mounts and Tall Poles Christina: Um, but what I did do is I, um, I ordered from, um, Ergotron, ’cause I already have. Um, two of their, um, LX mounts, um, or, or, or, or arms. Um, and only one of them is being used right now. And then I have a different arm that I use for the, um, um, iMac. Um, they sell like a, if you call ’em directly, you can get them to send you a tall pole so that you can put the two arms on top of them. And that way I think I can like, have them so that I can have like one pole and then like have one on one side, one Jeff: I have a tall pole. Christina: and, and yeah, that’s what she said. Um, Jeff: as soon as I said it, I was like, for fuck’s sake. But Christina: um, but, uh, but, but yeah, but so that way I think I, I can, I, in theory, I can stack the market and have ’em side by side. I don’t know. Um, I got that. I, I had to call Tron and, and order that from them. [00:38:00] Um, it was only a hundred dollars for, for the poll and then $50 for a handling fee. Jeff: It’s not easy to ship a tall pole. Brett: That’s what she said. Christina: that is what she said. Uh, that is exactly what she said. But yeah, so I, I, the, the, the unfortunate thing is that, um, I, um, I, I had to, uh, get a, like all these, they, they came in literally right before Thanksgiving, and then I’ve had, like, all my back stuff has Jeff: Yeah, no Christina: debilitating, but I’m looking forward to, um, getting them set up and used. And, uh, yeah. Review Plans and Honest Assessments Christina: And then full review will be coming to, uh, to, I have to post a review on Reddit, but then I will also be doing a more in depth review, uh, on this podcast if anybody’s interested in, in other places too, to like, let let you know, like if it’s worth your money or not. Um, ’cause there, like I said, there are, there are a few other options out there. So it’s not one of those things where like, you know, um, like, thank you very much for the free monitor, um, monitors. But, but I, I will, I will give like the, the, you know, an honest assessment or Current Display Setup Brett: So [00:39:00] do you currently have a two display setup? Christina: No. Um, well, yes, and kind of, so I have my, my, I have my 5K studio display, and then I have like my iMac that I use as a two to display setup. But then otherwise, what I’ve had to do, and this is actually part of why I’m looking forward to this, is I have a 4K 27 inch monitor, but it’s garbage. And it, it’s one of those things where I don’t wanna use it with my Mac. And so I wind up only using it with my, with my Windows machine, with my framework desktop, um, with my Windows or Linux machine. And, and because that, even though I, it supports Thunderbolt, the Apple display is pain in the ass to use with those things. It doesn’t have the KVM built in. Like, it doesn’t like it, it just, it’s not good for that situation. So yeah, this will be of this size. I mean, again, like I, I, I’m 2 32 inch monitors. I don’t know how I’m gonna deal with that on my Jeff: I Brett: yeah. So right now I’m looking at 2 32 inch like UHD monitors, Christina: Yeah,[00:40:00] Brett: I will say that on days when my neck hurts, it sucks. It’s a, it’s too wide a range to, to like pan back and forth quickly. Like I’ll throw my back out, like trying to keep track of stuff. Um, but I have found that like if I keep the second display, just like maybe social media apps is the way I usually set it up. And then I only work on one. I tried buying an extra wide curve display, hated it. Jeff: Uh, I’ve always wanted to try one, but Christina: I don’t like them. Jeff: Yeah. Christina: Well, for me, well for me it’s two things. One, it’s the, I don’t love the whole like, you know, thing or whatever, but the big thing honestly there, if you could give me, ’cause people are like, oh, you can get a really big 5K, 2K display. I’m like, that’s not a 5K display. That is 2 27 inch, 1440 P displays. One, you know, ultra wide, which is great. Good for you. That’s not retina. And I’m a sicko Who [00:41:00] needs the, the pixel doubling? Like I wish that my eyes could not use that, but, but, but, Jeff: that needs the pixel. Like was that the headline of your Reddit, uh, Christina: no, no. It wasn’t, it wasn’t. But, but maybe it should be. Hi, I’m a sicko who only, um, fucks with, with, with, with, with, with, with retina displays. Ask me anything. Um, but no, but that’s a good point. Brett: I think 5K Psycho is the Christina: 5K Sicko is the po is the po title. I like that. I like that. No, what I’m thinking about doing and that’s great to know, Brett. Um, this kind of reaffirms my thing. Thunderbolt KVM and Display Preferences Christina: So what’s nice about these monitors is that they come with like, built in like, um, Thunderbolt 5K VM. So, which is nice. So you could conceivably have multiple, you know, computers, uh, connected, you know, to to, to one monitor, which I really like. Um, I mean like, ’cause like look, I, I’ve bitched and moaned about the studio display, um, primarily for the price, but at the same time, if mine broke tomorrow and if I didn’t have any way to replace it, I’ve, I’ve also gone on record saying I would buy a new one immediately. As mad as I am about a [00:42:00] lot of different things with that, that the built-in webcam is garbage. The, you know, the, the fact that there’s not a power button is garbage. The fact that you can’t use it with multiple inputs, it’s garbage. But it’s a really good display and it’s what I’m used to. Um, it’s really not any better than my LG Ultra fine from 2016. But you know what? Whatever it is, what it is. Um. I, I am a 5K sicko, but being able to, um, connect my, my personal machine and my work machine at the same time to one, and then have my Windows slash Linux computer connected to another, I think that’s gonna be the scenario where I’m in. So I’m not gonna necessarily be in a place where I’m like, okay, I need to try to look at both of them across 2 32 inch displays. ’cause I think that that, like, that would be awesome. But I feel like that’s too much. Brett: I would love a decent like Thunderbolt KVM setup that could actually swap like my hubs back and Christina: Yes. MacBook Pro and Studio Comparisons Brett: Um, so, ’cause I, I have a studio and I have my, uh, Infor MacBook Pro [00:43:00] and I actually work mostly on the MacBook Pro. Um, but if I could easily dock it and switch everything on my desk over to it, I would, I would work in my office more often. ’cause honestly, the M four MacBook Pro is, it’s a better machine than the original studio was. Um, and I haven’t upgraded my studio to the latest, but, um, I imagine the new one is top notch. Christina: Oh yeah. Yeah. Brett: my, my other one, a couple years old now is already long in the tooth. Christina: No, I mean, they’re still good. I mean, it’s funny, I saw that some YouTube video the other day where they were like, the best value MacBook you can get is basically a 4-year-old M1 max. And I was like, I don’t know about that guys. Like, I, I kind of disagree a little bit. Um, but the M1 max, which is I think is what is in the studio, is still a really, really good ship. But to your point, like they’ve made those, um. You know, the, the, the new ones are still so good. Like, I have an M three max as my personal laptop, and [00:44:00] that’s kind of like the dog chip in the, in the m um, series lineup. So I kind of am regretful for spending six grand on that one, but it is what it is, and I’m like, I’m not, I’m not upgrading. Um, I mean, maybe, maybe in, in next year if, if the M five Pro, uh, or M five max or whatever is, is really exceptional, maybe I’ll look at, okay, how much will you give me to, to trade it in? But even then, I, I, but I feel like I’m at that point where I’m like, it gets to a point where like it’s diminishing returns. Um, but, uh, just in terms of my own budget. But, um, yeah, the, the new just info like pro or or max, whatever, Brett: I have, I have an M four MacBook Pro sitting around that I keep forgetting to sell. Uh, it’s the one that I, it only had a 256 gigabyte hard drive, Jeff: what happened to me when I bought my M1, Brett: and I, and I regretted that enough that I just ordered another one. But, uh, for various reasons, I couldn’t just return the one I didn’t Jeff: ’cause it was.[00:45:00] Brett: so now I, now I have to sell it and I should sell it while it’s still a top of the line machine Christina: Sell it before, sell, sell, sell, sell it before next month, um, or, or February or whenever they sell it before then the, the pros come out. ’cause right now the M five base is out, but the pros are not. So I think feel like you could still get most of your value for it, especially since it has very few battery cycles. Be sure to put the battery cycles on your Facebook marketplace or eBay thing or whatever. Um, I bought my, uh, she won’t listen to this so she won’t know, but, um, they, there was a, a killer Cyber Monday deal, uh, for Best Buy where they had like a, the, the, the, so it’s several years old, but it was the, the M two MacBook Air, but the one that they upgraded to 16 gigs of Ram when Apple was like, oh, we have to have Apple Intelligence and everything, because they actually thought that they were actually gonna ship Apple Intelligence. So they like went back and they, like, they, they, you know, retconned like made the base model MacBook Air, like 16 [00:46:00] gigs. Um, and, uh, anyway, it was, it was $600, um, Jeff: still crazy. Christina: which, which like even for like a, a, a 2-year-old machine or whatever, I was like, yeah, she, my sister, I think she’s on like, like a 2014 or older than that. Like, like MacBook Air. She doesn’t even know where the MagSafe is. I don’t think she even knows where the laptop is. So she’s basically doing everything like on her phone and I’m like, okay, you need a laptop of some type, but at this point. I do feel strongly that like the, the, the $600 or, or, or actually I think it was $650, it was actually less, it is actually more expensive than what the, the, the Cyber Monday sale was, um, the M1, Walmart, MacBook Air. I’m like, absolutely not like that is at this point, do not buy that. Right? Like, I, especially with eight gigs of ram, I’m, I’m like, it’s been, it’s five years old. It’s a, it was a great machine and it was great value for a long time. $200. Cool, right? Like, if you could get something like use and, and, and, and if you could replace the battery or, you know, [00:47:00] for, for, you know, not, not too much money or whatever. Like, I, I, I could see like an argument to be made like value, right? But there’d be no way in hell that I would ever spend or tell anybody else to spend $650 on that new, but $600 for an M two with Jeff: Now we’re talking. Christina: which has the redesign brand new. I’m like, okay. Spend $150 more and you could have got the M four, um, uh, MacBook Air, obviously all around Better Machine. But for my sister, she doesn’t need that, Jeff: What do we have to do to put your sister in this M two MacBook Christina: that, that, that, that, that, that’s exactly it. So I, I, I was, well, also, it was one of those things I was like, I think that she would rather me spend the money on toys for my nephew for Santa Claus than, than, uh, giving her like a, a processor upgrade. Um, Jeff: Claus isn’t real. Brett: Oh shit. Jeff: Gotcha. Every year I spoil it for somebody. This year it was Christina and Brett. Sorry guys. Brett: right. Well, can I tell you guys Jeff: Yeah. [00:48:00] Brett Software. Brett: two quick projects before we do Jeff: Hold on. You don’t have to be quick ’cause you could call it Brett: We’re already at 45 minutes and I want Jeff: What I’m saying, skip GrAPPtitude. This is it? Brett: okay. Christina: us about Mark. Tell us about your projects. Brett: So, so Mark three is, there’s a public, um, test flight beta link. Uh, if you go to marked app.com, not marked two app.com, uh, marked app.com. Uh, you, there’s a link in the, in the, at the top for Christina: Join beta. Mm-hmm. Brett: Um, and that is public and you can join it and you can send me feedback directly through email because, um, uh, uh, the feedback reporter sucks for test flight and you can’t attach files. And half the time they come through as anonymous feedback and I can’t even follow up on ’em. So email me. But, um, I’ll be announcing that on my blog soon-ish. Um, right now there’s like [00:49:00] maybe a couple dozen, um, testers and I, it’s nice and small and I’m solving the biggest bugs right away. Um, so that’s been, that’s been big. Like Mark, even since we last talked has added. Do you remember Jeff when Merlin was on and he wanted to. He wanted to be able to manage his styles, um, and disable built-in styles. There’s now a whole table based style manager where you Jeff: saw that. Brett: you can, you can reorder, including built-in styles. You can reorder, enable, disable, edit, duplicate. Um, it’s like a full, full fledged, um, style manager. And I just built a whole web app that is a style generator that gives you, um, automatic like rhythm calculations for your CSS and you can, you can control everything through like, uh, like UI fields instead of having to [00:50:00] write CSS. Uh, but you can also o open up a very, I’ve spent a lot of time on the code mirror CSS editor in the web app. Uh, so, and it’s got live preview as you edit in the code mirror field. Um, so that’s pretty cool. And that’s built into marts. So if you go to style, um, generate style, it’ll load up a, a style generator for you. Anyway, there’s, there’s a ton. I’m not gonna go into all the details, but, uh, anyone listening who uses markdown for anything, especially if you want ability to export to like Word and epub and advanced PDF export, um, join the beta. Let me know what you think. Uh, help me squash bugs. But the other thing, every time I push a beta for review before the new bug reports come in, I’ve been putting time into a tool. Markdown Processor: Apex Brett: I’m calling [00:51:00] Apex and um, I haven’t publicly announced this one yet, but I probably will by the time this podcast comes out. Jeff: I mean, doesn’t this count? Brett: It, it does. I’m saying like this, this might be a, you hear you heard it here first kind of thing, um, but if you go to github.com/tt sc slash apex, um, I built a, uh, pure C markdown processor that combines syntax from cram down GitHub flavored markdown, multi markdown maku, um, common mark. And basically you can write syntax from any of those processors, including all of their special features, um, and in one document, and then use Apex in its unified mode, and it’ll just figure out what. All of your syntax is supposed to do. Um, so you can take, you can port documents from one platform to another [00:52:00] without worrying about how they’re gonna render. Um, if I can get any kind of adoption with Apex, it could solve a lot of problems. Um, I built it because I want to make it the default processor in marked ’cause right now, you, you have to choose, you know, cram Christina: Which one? Brett: mark and, and choosing one means you lose something in order to gain something. Um, so I wanted to build a universal one that brought together everything. And I added cool features from some extensions of other languages, such as if you have two lists in a row, normally in markdown, it’s gonna concatenate those into one list. Now you can put a carrot on a line between the two lists and it’ll break it into two lists. I also added support for a. An extension to cram down that lets you put double uh, carrots inside a table cell and [00:53:00] create a row band. So like a cell that, that expands it, you rows but doesn’t expand the rest of the row. Um, so you can do cell spans and row spans and it has a relaxed table version where you don’t have to have an alignment row, which is, uh, sometimes we just wanna make quickly table. You make two lines. You put some pipes in. This will, if there’s no alignment row, it will generate a table with just a table body and table data cells in no header. It also allows footers, you can add a footer to a table by using equals in the separator line. Um, it, it’s, Jeff: This is very civilized, Brett: it is. Christina: is amazing, Brett: So where Common Mark is extremely strict about things, um, apex is extremely permissive. Jeff: also itty bitty things like talk about the call out boxes from like Brett: oh yeah, it, it can handle call out syntax from Obsidian and Bear and Xcode Playgrounds. [00:54:00] Um, and it incorporates all of Mark’s syntax for like file includes and even renders like auto scroll pauses that work in marked and some other teleprompter situations. Um, it uses file ude syntax from multi markdown, like, which is just like a curly brace and, uh, marked, which is, uh, left like a double left, uh, angle bracket and then different. Brackets to surround a file name and it handles IA writer file inclusion where you just type a forward slash and then the name of a file and it automatically detects if that file is an image or source code or markdown text, and it will import it accordingly. And if it’s a CSV file, it’ll generate a table from it automatically. It’s, it’s kind of nuts. I, it’s kind of nuts. I could not have done this [00:55:00] without copilot. I, I am very thankful for copilot because my C skills are not, would not on their own, have been up to this task. I know enough to bug debug, but yeah, a lot of these features I got a big hand from copilot on. Jeff: This is also Brett. This is some serious Brett Terpstra. TURPs Hard Christina: Yeah, it is. I was gonna say, this is like Jeff: and also that’s right. Also, if your grandma ever wrote you a note and it, and though you couldn’t really read it, it really well, that renders perfectly Christina: Amazing. No, I was gonna say this is like, okay, so Apex is like the perfect name ’cause this is the apex of Brett. Jeff: Yes. Apex of Brett. Christina: That’s also that, that’s, that’s not an alternate episode title Apex of Brett. Because genuinely No, Brett, like I am, I am so stunned and impressed. I mean, you all, you always impressed me like you are the most impressive like developer that I, that I’ve ever known. But you, this is incredible. And, and this, I, I love this [00:56:00] because as you said, like common Mark is incredibly strict. This is incredibly permissive. But this is great. ’cause there are those scenarios where you might have like, I wanna use one feature from one thing or one from another, or I wanna combine things in various ways, or I don’t wanna have to think about it, you know? Brett: I aals, I forgot to mention I aals inline attribute list, which is a crammed down feature that lets you put curly brackets after like a paragraph and then a colon and then say, dot call out inside the curly brackets. And then when it renders the markdown, it creates that paragraph and adds class equals call out to the paragraph. Um, and in, in Cramon you can apply these to everything from list items to list to block quotes. Like you can do ’em for spans. You could like have one after, uh, link syntax and just apply, say dot external to a link. So the IAL syntax can add IDs classes and uh, arbitrary [00:57:00] attributes to any element in your markdown when it renders to HTML. And, uh, and Apex has first class support for I aals. Was really, that was, that Christina: that was really hard, Brett: I wrote it because I wanted, I wanted multi markdown, uh, for my prose writing, but I really missed the als. Christina: Yes. Okay. Because see, I run into this sort of thing too, right? Because like, this is a problem like that. I mean, it’s a very niche problem, um, that, that, you know, people who listen to this podcast probably are more familiar with than other types of people. But like, when you have to choose your markdown processor, which as you said, like Brett, like that can be a problem. Like, like with, with using Mark or anything else, you’re like, what am I giving up? What do I have? And, and like for me, because I started using mul, you know, markdown, um, uh, largely because of you, um, I think I was using it, I knew about it before you, but largely because of, of, of you, like multi markdown has always been like kind of my, or was historically my flavor of choice. It has since shifted to being [00:58:00] GitHub, labor bird markdown. But that’s just because the industry has taken that on, right? But there were, you know, certain things like in like, you know, multi markdown that work a certain way. And then yeah, there are things in crammed down. There are things in these other things in like, this is just, this is awesome. This Brett: It is, the whole thing is built on top of C mark, GFM, which is GitHub’s port of common mark with the GitHub flavored markdown Christina: Right. Brett: Um, and I built, like, I kept that as a sub-module, totally clean, and built all of this as extensions on top of Cmar, GFM, which, you know, so it has full compatibility with GitHub and with Common Merck by out, like outta the box. And then everything else is built on top of that. So it, uh, it covers, it covers all the bases. You’ll love it Christina: I’m so excited. No, this is awesome. And I Brett: blazing fast. It can render, I have a complex document that, that uses all of its features and it can render it in [00:59:00] 0.006 seconds. Christina: that’s awesome. Jeff: Awesome. Christina: That’s so cool. No, this is great. And yeah, I, and I think that honestly, like this is the sort of thing like if, yeah, if you can eventually get this to like be like the engine that powers like mark three, like, that’ll be really slick, right? Because then like, yeah, okay, I can take one document and then just, you know, kind of, you know, wi with, with the, you know, ha have, have the compatibility mode where you’re like, okay, the unified mode or whatever yo

In this Technology Reseller News, Podcast, Doug Green interviews Don Boxley, CEO and Co-Founder of DH2i, for a deep dive into one of the biggest challenges facing IT teams today: the migration gap between legacy Windows-based SQL Server deployments and the containerized, Linux-driven future that modern applications increasingly require. DH2i, a long-time Microsoft and Red Hat partner, delivers high availability, secure communication, and cross-platform mobility for SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL environments. Their flagship platform, DX Enterprise, enables customers to run the same production-grade SQL instance across Windows, Linux, and Kubernetes — and move between them with seamless failover. As Boxley explains, this eliminates the traditional roadblocks that keep enterprises locked into aging infrastructure. With SQL Server 2025 bringing new support for AI-driven applications, Microsoft tapped DH2i to deliver mission-critical HA capabilities for these next-generation workloads. The company also introduced a hands-on, step-by-step Minikube tutorial, allowing DBAs and MSPs to experiment safely with Kubernetes-based SQL deployments on their own PCs before ever touching production. “Most teams think they're stuck on Windows — they're not. With DX Enterprise, you can move SQL Server to Linux or containers without disruption, and your customers won't even know the difference,” Boxley notes. DH2i's developer edition is available as a free download, complete with 30-day support, giving IT teams a no-risk path to testing, learning, and modernizing their database infrastructure.

Standards web modernes: Support Jakarta EE (par défaut) et Javax EE (héritage) pour la création de contenu web. Vérification de type améliorée: Contrôle des chaînes de format plus robuste que Java. Additions au langage: Génération d'itérateurs infinis, variables d'index dans les boucles, opérateur d'implication logique ==>. Améliorations diverses: Import automatique de java.time.**, var avec multi-assignation, groupes de capture nommés pour regex (=~), méthodes utilitaires de graphiques à barres ASCII. Changements impactants: Plusieurs modifications peuvent nécessiter une adaptation du code existant (visibilité, gestion des imports, comportement de certaines méthodes). **Exigences JDK*: Construction avec JDK17+, exécution avec JDK11+. Librairies Intégration de LangChain4j dans ADK pour Java, permettant aux développeurs d'utiliser n'importe quel LLM avec leurs agents ADK https://developers.googleblog.com/en/adk-for-java-opening-up-to-third-party-language-models-via-langchain4j-integration/ ADK pour Java 0.2.0 : Nouvelle version du kit de développement d'agents de Google. Intégration LangChain4j : Ouvre ADK à des modèles de langage tiers. Plus de choix de LLM : En plus de Gemini et Claude, accès aux modèles d'OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc. Modèles locaux supportés : Utilisation possible de modèles via Ollama ou Docker Model Runner. Améliorations des outils : Création d'outils à partir d'instances d'objets, meilleur support asynchrone et contrôle des boucles d'exécution. Logique et mémoire avancées : Ajout de callbacks en chaîne et de nouvelles options pour la gestion de la mémoire et le RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). Build simplifié : Introduction d'un POM parent et du Maven Wrapper pour un processus de construction cohérent. JUnit 6 est sorti https://docs.junit.org/6.0.0/release-notes/ :sparkles: Java 17 and Kotlin 2.2 baseline :sunrise_over_mountains: JSpecify nullability annotations :airplane_departure: Integrated JFR support :suspension_railway: Kotlin suspend function support :octagonal_sign: Support for cancelling test execution :broom: Removal of deprecated APIs JGraphlet, une librairie Java sans dépendances pour créer des graphes de tâches à exécuter https://shaaf.dev/post/2025-08-25-think-in-graphs-not-just-chains-jgraphlet-for-taskpipelines/ JGraphlet: Bibliothèque Java légère (zéro-dépendance) pour construire des pipelines de tâches. Principes clés: Simplicité, basée sur un modèle d'exécution de graphe. Tâches: Chaque tâche a une entrée/sortie, peut être asynchrone (Task) ou synchrone (SyncTask). Pipeline: Un TaskPipeline construit et exécute le graphe, gère les I/O. Modèle Graph-First: Le flux de travail est un Graphe Orienté Acyclique (DAG). Définition des tâches comme des nœuds, des connexions comme des arêtes. Support naturel des motifs fan-out et fan-in. API simple: addTask("id", task), connect("fromId", "toId"). Fan-in: Une tâche recevant plusieurs entrées reçoit une Map (clés = IDs des tâches parentes). Exécution: pipeline.run(input) retourne un CompletableFuture (peut être bloquant via .join() ou asynchrone). Cycle de vie: TaskPipeline est AutoCloseable, garantissant la libération des ressources (try-with-resources). Contexte: PipelineContext pour partager des données/métadonnées thread-safe entre les tâches au sein d'une exécution. Mise en cache: Option de mise en cache pour les tâches afin d'éviter les re-calculs. Au tour de Microsoft de lancer son (Microsoft) Agent Framework, qui semble être une fusion / réécriture de AutoGen et de Semnatic Kernel https://x.com/pyautogen/status/1974148055701028930 Plus de détails dans le blog post : https://devblogs.microsoft.com/foundry/introducing-microsoft-agent-framework-the-open-source-engine-for-agentic-ai-apps/ SDK & runtime open-source pour systèmes multi-agents sophistiqués. Unifie Semantic Kernel et AutoGen. Piliers : Standards ouverts (MCP, A2A, OpenAPI) et interopérabilité. Passerelle recherche-production (patterns AutoGen pour l'entreprise). Extensible, modulaire, open-source, connecteurs intégrés. Prêt pour la production (observabilité, sécurité, durabilité, "human in the loop"). Relation SK/AutoGen : S'appuie sur eux, ne les remplace pas, simplifie la migration. Intégrations futures : Alignement avec Microsoft 365 Agents SDK et Azure AI Foundry Agent Service. Sortie de Jackson 3.0 (bientôt les Jackson Five !!!) https://cowtowncoder.medium.com/jackson-3-0-0-ga-released-1f669cda529a Jackson 3.0.0 a été publié le 3 octobre 2025. Objectif : base propre pour le développement à long terme, suppression de la dette technique, architecture simplifiée, amélioration de l'ergonomie. Principaux changements : Baseline Java 17 requise (vs Java 8 pour 2.x). Group ID Maven et package Java renommés en tools.jackson pour la coexistence avec Jackson 2.x. (Exception: jackson-annotations ne change pas). Suppression de toutes les fonctionnalités @Deprecated de Jackson 2.x et renommage de plusieurs entités/méthodes clés. Modification des paramètres de configuration par défaut (ex: FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES désactivé). ObjectMapper et TokenStreamFactory sont désormais immutables, la configuration se fait via des builders. Passage à des exceptions de base non vérifiées (JacksonException) pour plus de commodité. Intégration des "modules Java 8" (pour les noms de paramètres, Optional, java.time) directement dans l'ObjectMapper par défaut. Amélioration du modèle d'arbre JsonNode (plus de configurabilité, meilleure gestion des erreurs). Testcontainers Java 2.0 est sorti https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/releases/tag/2.0.0 Removed JUnit 4 support -> ups Grails 7.0 est sortie, avec son arrivée à la fondation Apache https://grails.apache.org/blog/2025-10-18-introducing-grails-7.html Sortie d'Apache Grails 7.0.0 annoncée le 18 octobre 2025. Grails est devenu un projet de premier niveau (TLP) de l'Apache Software Foundation (ASF), graduant d'incubation. Mise à jour des dépendances vers Groovy 4.0.28, Spring Boot 3.5.6, Jakarta EE. Tout pour bien démarrer et développer des agents IA avec ADK pour Java https://glaforge.dev/talks/2025/10/22/building-ai-agents-with-adk-for-java/ Guillaume a partagé plein de resources sur le développement d'agents IA avec ADK pour Java Un article avec tous les pointeurs Un slide deck et l'enregistrement vidéo de la présentation faite lors de Devoxx Belgique Un codelab avec des instructions pour démarrer et créer ses premiers agents Plein d'autres samples pour s'inspirer et voir les possibilités offertes par le framework Et aussi un template de projet sur GitHub, avec un build Maven et un premier agent d'exemple Cloud Internet cassé, du moins la partie hébergée par AWS #hugops https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/20/aws_outage_amazon_brain_drain_corey_quinn/ Panne majeure d'AWS (région US-EAST-1) : problème DNS affectant DynamoDB, service fondamental, causant des défaillances en cascade de nombreux services internet. Réponse lente : 75 minutes pour identifier la cause profonde; la page de statut affichait initialement "tout va bien". Cause sous-jacente principale : "fuite des cerveaux" (départ d'ingénieurs AWS seniors). Perte de connaissances institutionnelles : des décennies d'expertise critique sur les systèmes AWS et les modes de défaillance historiques parties avec ces départs. Prédictions confirmées : un ancien d'AWS avait anticipé une augmentation des pannes majeures en 2024. Preuves de la perte de talents : Plus de 27 000 licenciements chez Amazon (2022-2025). Taux élevé de "départs regrettés" (69-81%). Mécontentement lié à la politique de "Return to Office" et au manque de reconnaissance de l'expertise. Conséquences : les nouvelles équipes, plus réduites, manquent de l'expérience nécessaire pour prévenir les pannes ou réduire les temps de récupération. Perspective : Le marché pourrait pardonner cette fois, mais le problème persistera, rendant les futurs incidents plus probables. Web React a gagné "par défaut" https://www.lorenstew.art/blog/react-won-by-default/ React domine par défaut, non par mérite technique, étouffant ainsi l'innovation front-end. Choix par réflexe ("tout le monde connaît React"), freinant l'évaluation d'alternatives potentiellement supérieures. Fondations techniques de React (V-DOM, complexité des Hooks, Server Components) vues comme des contraintes actuelles. Des frameworks innovants (Svelte pour la compilation, Solid pour la réactivité fine, Qwik pour la "resumability") offrent des modèles plus performants mais sont sous-adoptés. La monoculture de React génère une dette technique (runtime, réconciliation) et centre les compétences sur le framework plutôt que sur les fondamentaux web. L'API React est complexe, augmentant la charge cognitive et les risques de bugs, contrairement aux alternatives plus simples. L'effet de réseau crée une "prison": offres d'emploi spécifiques, inertie institutionnelle, leaders choisissant l'option "sûre". Nécessité de choisir les frameworks selon les contraintes du projet et le mérite technique, non par inertie. Les arguments courants (maturité de l'écosystème, recrutement, bibliothèques, stabilité) sont remis en question; une dépendance excessive peut devenir un fardeau. La monoculture ralentit l'évolution du web et détourne les talents, nuisant à la diversité essentielle pour un écosystème sain et innovant. Promouvoir la diversité des frameworks pour un écosystème plus résilient et innovant. WebAssembly 3 est sortie https://webassembly.org/news/2025-09-17-wasm-3.0/ Data et Intelligence Artificielle UUIDv4 ou UUIDv7 pour vos clés primaires ? Ça dépend… surtout pour les bases de données super distribuées ! https://medium.com/google-cloud/understanding-uuidv7-and-its-impact-on-cloud-spanner-b8d1a776b9f7 UUIDv4 : identifiants entièrement aléatoires. Cause des problèmes de performance dans les bases de données relationnelles (ex: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) utilisant des index B-Tree. Inserts aléatoires réduisent l'efficacité du cache, entraînent des divisions de pages et la fragmentation. UUIDv7 : nouveau standard conçu pour résoudre ces problèmes. Intègre un horodatage (48 bits) en préfixe de l'identifiant, le rendant ordonné temporellement et "k-sortable". Améliore la performance dans les bases B-Tree en favorisant les inserts séquentiels, la localité du cache et réduisant la fragmentation. Problème de UUIDv7 pour certaines bases de données distribuées et scalables horizontalement comme Spanner : La nature séquentielle d'UUIDv7 (via l'horodatage) crée des "hotspots d'écriture" (points chauds) dans Spanner. Spanner distribue les données en "splits" (partitions) basées sur les plages de clés. Les clés séquentielles concentrent les écritures sur un seul "split". Ceci empêche Spanner de distribuer la charge et de scaler les écritures, créant un goulot d'étranglement ("anti-pattern"). Quand ce n'est PAS un problème pour Spanner : Si le taux d'écriture total est inférieur à environ 3 500 écritures/seconde pour un seul "split". Le hotspot est "bénin" à cette échelle et n'entraîne pas de dégradation de performance. Solutions pour Spanner : Principe clé : S'assurer que la première partie de la clé primaire est NON séquentielle pour distribuer les écritures. UUIDv7 peut être utilisé, mais pas comme préfixe. Nouvelle conception ("greenfield") : ▪︎ Utiliser une clé primaire non-séquentielle (ex: UUIDv4 simple). Pour les requêtes basées sur le temps, créer un index secondaire sur la colonne d'horodatage, mais le SHARDER (ex: shardId) pour éviter les hotspots sur l'index lui-même. Migration (garder UUIDv7) : ▪︎ Ajouter un préfixe de sharding : Introduire une colonne `shard` calculée (ex: `MOD(ABS(FARM_FINGERPRINT(order_id_v7)), N)`) et l'utiliser comme PREMIER élément d'une clé primaire composite (`PRIMARY KEY (shard, order_id_v7)`). Réordonner les colonnes (si clé primaire composite existante) : Si la clé primaire est déjà composite (ex: (order_id_v7, tenant_id)), réordonner en (tenant_id, order_id_v7). Cela aide si tenant_id a une cardinalité élevée et distribue bien. (Un tenant_id très actif pourrait toujours nécessiter un préfixe de sharding supplémentaire). RAG en prod, comment améliorer la pertinence des résultats https://blog.abdellatif.io/production-rag-processing-5m-documents Démarrage rapide avec Langchain + Llamaindex: prototype fonctionnel, mais résultats de production jugés "subpar" par les utilisateurs. Ce qui a amélioré la performance (par ROI): Génération de requêtes: LLM crée des requêtes sémantiques et mots-clés multiples basées sur le fil de discussion pour une meilleure couverture. Reranking: La technique la plus efficace, modifie grandement le classement des fragments (chunks). Stratégie de découpage (Chunking): Nécessite beaucoup d'efforts, compréhension des données, création de fragments logiques sans coupures. Métadonnées à l'LLM: L'injection de métadonnées (titre, auteur) améliore le contexte et les réponses. Routage de requêtes: Détecte et traite les questions non-RAG (ex: résumer, qui a écrit) via API/LLM distinct. Outillage Créer un serveur MCP (mode HTTP Streamable) avec Micronaut et quelques éléments de comparaison avec Quarkus https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/09/16/creating-a-streamable-http-mcp-server-with-micronaut/ Micronaut propose désormais un support officiel pour le protocole MCP. Exemple : un serveur MCP pour les phases lunaires (similaire à une version Quarkus pour la comparaison). Définition des outils MCP via les annotations @Tool et @ToolArg. Point fort : Micronaut gère automatiquement la validation des entrées (ex: @NotBlank, @Pattern), éliminant la gestion manuelle des erreurs. Génération automatique de schémas JSON détaillés pour les structures d'entrée/sortie grâce à @JsonSchema. Nécessite une configuration pour exposer les schémas JSON générés comme ressources statiques. Dépendances clés : micronaut-mcp-server-java-sdk et les modules json-schema. Testé avec l'inspecteur MCP et intégration avec l'outil Gemini CLI. Micronaut offre une gestion élégante des entrées/sorties structurées grâce à son support JSON Schema riche. Un agent IA créatif : comment utiliser le modèle Nano Banana pour générer et éditer des images (en Java, avec ADK) https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/09/22/creative-ai-agents-with-adk-and-nano-banana/ Modèles de langage (LLM) deviennent multimodaux : traitent diverses entrées (texte, images, vidéo, audio). Nano Banana (gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview) : modèle Gemini, génère et édite des images, pas seulement du texte. ADK (Agent Development Kit pour Java) : pour configurer des agents IA créatifs utilisant ce type de modèle. Application : Base pour des workflows créatifs complexes (ex: agent de marketing, enchaînement d'agents pour génération d'assets). Un vieil article (6 mois) qui illustre les problèmes du format de fichier YAML https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-document-from-hell YAML est extrêmement complexe malgré son objectif de convivialité humaine. Spécification volumineuse et versionnée (YAML 1.1, 1.2 diffèrent significativement). Comportements imprévisibles et "pièges" (footguns) courants : Nombres sexagésimaux (ex: 22:22 parsé comme 1342 en YAML 1.1). Tags (!.git) pouvant mener à des erreurs ou à l'exécution de code arbitraire. "Problème de la Norvège" : no interprété comme false en YAML 1.1. Clés non-chaînes de caractères (on peut devenir une clé booléenne True). Nombres accidentels si non-guillemets (ex: 10.23 comme flottant). La coloration syntaxique n'est pas fiable pour détecter ces subtilités. Le templating de documents YAML est une mauvaise idée, source d'erreurs et complexe à gérer. Alternatives suggérées : TOML : Similaire à YAML mais plus sûr (chaînes toujours entre guillemets), permet les commentaires. JSON avec commentaires (utilisé par VS Code), mais moins répandu. Utiliser un sous-ensemble simple de YAML (difficile à faire respecter). Générer du JSON à partir de langages de programmation plus puissants : ▪︎ Nix : Excellent pour l'abstraction et la réutilisation de configuration. Python : Facilite la création de JSON avec commentaires et logique.

Loi, société et organisation Microsoft va imposer une politique de Return To Office https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-execs-explain-rto-mandate-in-internal-meeting-2025-9 Microsoft impose 3 jours de présence au bureau par semaine à partir de février 2026, débutant par la région de Seattle Le CEO Satya Nadella explique que le télétravail a affaibli les liens sociaux nécessaires à l'innovation Les dirigeants citent des données internes montrant que les employés présents au bureau "prospèrent" davantage L'équipe IA de Microsoft doit être présente 4 jours par semaine, règles plus strictes pour cette division stratégique Les employés peuvent demander des exceptions jusqu'au 19 septembre 2025 pour trajets complexes ou absence d'équipe locale Amy Coleman (RH) affirme que la collaboration en personne améliore l'énergie et les résultats, surtout à l'ère de l'IA La politique s'appliquera progressivement aux 228 000 employés dans le monde après les États-Unis Les réactions sont mitigées, certains employés critiquent la perte d'autonomie et les bureaux inadéquats Microsoft rattrape ses concurrents tech qui ont déjà imposé des retours au bureau plus stricts Cette décision intervient après 15 000 licenciements en 2025, créant des tensions avec les employés Comment Claude Code est né ? (l'histoire de sa création) https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/how-claude-code-is-built Claude Code : outil de développement "AI-first" créé par Boris Cherny, Sid Bidasaria et Cat Wu. Performance impressionnante : 500M$ de revenus annuels, utilisation multipliée par 10 en 3 mois. Adoption interne massive : Plus de 80% des ingénieurs d'Anthropic l'utilisent quotidiennement, y compris les data scientists. Augmentation de productivité : 67% d'augmentation des Pull Requests (PR) par ingénieur malgré le doublement de l'équipe. Origine : Commande CLI simple évoluant vers un outil accédant au système de fichiers, exploitant le "product overhang" du modèle Claude. Raison du lancement public : Apprendre sur la sécurité et les capacités des modèles d'IA. Pile technologique "on distribution" : TypeScript, React (avec Ink), Yoga, Bun. Choisie car le modèle Claude est déjà très performant avec ces technologies. "Claude Code écrit 90% de son propre code" : Le modèle prend en charge la majeure partie du développement. Architecture légère : Simple "shell" autour du modèle Claude, minimisant la logique métier et le code (suppression constante de code superflu). Exécution locale : Privilégiée pour sa simplicité, sans virtualisation. Sécurité : Système de permissions granulaire demandant confirmation avant chaque action potentiellement dangereuse (ex: suppression de fichiers). Développement rapide : Jusqu'à 100 releases internes/jour, 1 release externe/jour. 5 Pull Requests/ingénieur/jour. Prototypage ultra-rapide (ex: 20+ prototypes d'une fonctionnalité en quelques heures) grâce aux agents IA. Innovation UI/UX : Redéfinit l'expérience du terminal grâce à l'interaction LLM, avec des fonctionnalités comme les sous-agents, les styles de sortie configurables, et un mode "Learning".

Back in May, the Remix cofounders revealed they were reimagining Remix v3 from the ground up, and this past week at Remix Jam, they gave a sneak peek of it. It's fair to say this new framework shouldn't be called Remix at all because it's departed so far from its origins: devs manually update state, it uses signals, routes are defined in a TS doc, and it will ship with a component library, for starters. Will it catch on, who knows?Not to be outdone by React v19.2 last week, Next.js 16 beta debuted (with support for React 19.2 included). In addition to the latest version of React, Next.js 16 has also declared Turbopack, RSC support, and React Compiler all stable, and improved its caching system as well.And Bun is back in the news with the release of Bun 1.3, and it's a doozy of a minor version release. Bun wants to be a full-stack JavaScript runtime as it now includes a full-stack dev server, built in support for MySQL and Redis DBs, routing, and the ability to package an entire project into one executable for cross-platform support. Well done, Bun team!Chapter Markers:01:14 - Remix v310:38 - Next.js 16 beta17:35 - Bun 1.324:42 - Firefox 144 released w/view transition support25:19 - HBO changes TV channel names28:00 - W3C has a new logo31:25 - What's making us happyNews:Paige - Bun 1.3Jack - Remix v3TJ - Next.js 16 betaLightning News:Firefox 144 released w/view transition supportW3C has a new logo and the Gavin Belson signature from Silicon Valley HBO changes TV channel namesWhat Makes Us Happy this Week:Paige - The Gilded Age TV seriesJack - KPop Demon HuntersTJ - Madison, WIThanks as always to our sponsor, the Blue Collar Coder channel on YouTube.

Matt Hamann knew he was going to be in tech way back in his younger days. His Dad worked for IBM, so there were always fun things to talk about and play with. He got his first family computer when he was 4 years old, and started programming BASIC when he was 8. Eventually, they got dialup through AOL - and he took off building websites with PHP & MySQL. Outside of tech, he is married with 3 kids. He loves to travel and spend time with his family. He also plays several instruments, including the piano and pipe organ, and enjoys tinkering with smart home devices.Right around the time of the pandemic, Matt and his co-founder were pitching a new company idea in Y Combinator, around data privacy. After receiving the feedback that there wasn't a big market for the original idea, they started to jam on ideas on how to pivot - and quickly landed on how cool it would be to have password-less authentication.This is the creation story of Rownd.SponsorsPaddle.comSema SoftwarePropelAuthPostmanMeilisearchMailtrap.TECH Domains (https://get.tech/codestory)Linkshttps://rownd.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthamann/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story-insights-from-startup-tech-leaders/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

MariaDB is a name with deep roots in the open-source database world, but in 2025 it is showing the energy and ambition of a company on the rise. Taken private in 2022 and backed by K1 Investment Management, MariaDB is doubling down on innovation while positioning itself as a strong alternative to MySQL and Oracle. At a time when many organisations are frustrated with Oracle's pricing and MySQL's cloud-first pivot, MariaDB is finding new opportunities by combining open-source freedom with enterprise-grade reliability. In this conversation, I sit down with Vikas Mathur, Chief Product Officer at MariaDB, to explore how the company is capitalising on these market shifts. Vikas shares the thinking behind MariaDB's renewed focus, explains how the platform delivers similar features to Oracle at up to 80 percent lower total cost of ownership, and details how recent innovations are opening the door to new workloads and use cases. One of the most significant developments is the launch of Vector Search in January 2023. This feature is built directly into InnoDB, eliminating the need for separate vector databases and delivering two to three times the performance of PG Vector. With hardware acceleration on both x86 and IBM Power architectures, and native connectors for leading AI frameworks such as LlamaIndex, LangChain and Spring AI, MariaDB is making it easier for developers to integrate AI capabilities without complex custom work. Vikas explains how MariaDB's pluggable storage engine architecture allows users to match the right engine to the right workload. InnoDB handles balanced transactional workloads, MyRocks is optimised for heavy writes, ColumnStore supports analytical queries, and Moroonga enables text search. With native JSON support and more than forty functions for manipulating semi-structured data, MariaDB can also remove the need for separate document databases. This flexibility underpins the company's vision of one database for infinite possibilities. The discussion also examines how MariaDB manages the balance between its open-source community and enterprise customers. Community adoption provides early feedback on new features and helps drive rapid improvement, while enterprise customers benefit from production support, advanced security, high availability and disaster recovery capabilities such as Galera-based synchronous replication and the MacScale proxy. We look ahead to how MariaDB plans to expand its managed cloud services, including DBaaS and serverless options, and how the company is working on a “RAG in a box” approach to simplify retrieval-augmented generation for DBAs. Vikas also shares his perspective on market trends, from the shift away from embedded AI and traditional machine learning features toward LLM-powered applications, to the growing number of companies moving from NoSQL back to SQL for scalability and long-term maintainability. This is a deep dive into the strategy, technology and market forces shaping MariaDB's next chapter. It will be of interest to database architects, AI engineers, and technology leaders looking for insight into how an open-source veteran is reinventing itself for the AI era while challenging the biggest names in the industry.
