MY GOD...this is so good. @ryancvet on surveillance childhood:

"The baby isn’t sleeping in the parents’ room, but the monitor tracks oxygen, heart rate, and breathing.

"The parent isn’t at daycare, but photos arrive in their app every hour.

"The parent isn’t asking how their child slept, because the sleep score already answered.

"The child walks home alone, but their location is live-tracked.

"It looks like independence. It feels like freedom. But it isn’t.

"Imagine this moment:

“'Did you hit your brother?'” “'No.'” “'Hold on, I’m going to check the camera.'”

I'm in New York! Anyone want to meet up?

Just send me a message to let me know. I'm free to meet you from Monday through Wednesday (May 4th to 6th).

Whoever manages to find my phone number on the web archives and send me an SMS gets a free drink 🍹

@clairevo Or make it easy for both humans and AI to work on a replicate db most of the time...

Another example of an AI agent taking down a production database.

It's time for database branching to become not only a best practice, but a requirement for data safety.

We offer database branching at https://t.co/A60AWv5xtT. Adopt it easily without moving your production database, and create thousands of branches without multiplying costs.

Anyone up for sponsoring an 11-year-old who wanna take up competitive go-karting?!?

@benediktdeicke Meanwhile, @raae talks about the Pirate Princess' new activity 🏎️

[Hendrik Haandrikman 🐈 @HHaandr]

(Indie) app builder in London, or remote in an app company and working from London?

I have three (3) spots left for an invite only day of co-working, food, drinks, and talks in a swanky loft in Shoreditch *tomorrow*

Comment if you’re interested and I’ll DM the details

@petersuhm @nikolaj_astrup @OlaHolstVea Come visit!

[Benedicte (Queen) Raae 👑 @raae]

OMG we (@OlaHolstVea, the Pirate Princess, and I) are joining this 🥳🥳🥳

[Nikolaj Astrup @nikolaj_astrup]

Yesterday we had the first call with all the families joining us in September for the Revillage popup.

We have had 41 families apply and we have 21 families fully signed up.

We helped the majority find housing and we also secured a super cool community space for the whole month!

Today, we’re open-sourcing the core of Xata under the Apache 2.0 license.

It’s built for agentic workloads, where databases need to be created, used, and discarded continuously:

Give every agent its own database branch, with real data
Instant database branching (copy-on-write), regardless of whether you have 50GB or 5TB of data
Pay only for compute, storage is shared with the parent
Branches hibernate when idle and wake up on the first connection (scale-to-zero)
100% vanilla Postgres (no forks, full compatibility)

You can adopt branching without moving your production database, and we’re excited to see teams run it in their own environments, build on it, and contribute back.

@PierreDeWulf @jdnoc I am sure it is not 😅

[Benedicte (Queen) Raae 👑 @raae]

It's been a couple of weeks since my awesome CTO mom passed away from early-onset Alzheimer's at 67 😭 I'm happy to report the good memories from the before times are starting to come back. The concerts, the large dinners with friends & family, the travels... We had so much fun!

❤️

[Slow & Steady @SlowSteadyPod]

Last week, @raae tells us about a little event they've planned to celebrate her mom's life.

‼️Do not npm install or deploy anything right now

Supply chain attack on axios 1.14.1 - even if you don’t use axios it may be a nested dep.

Pin versions or wait until this is resolved
