Far-right senator and family land in US after crossing from Brazil into Argentina and then flying via Ecuador

Flávio Bolsonaro declared himself the “true president” of Brazil after losing last Sunday’s presidential election and fleeing to the United States.

After landing on a private jet with his family in Miami, Florida, on Wednesday morning, the far-right senator published the claim in a letter – even though his own party has recognised the legitimate victory of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, as have all of Brazil’s institutions, and international observers who monitored and endorsed the vote.

Я хотел убрать все слои абстракции между собой и компьютером. Оставить своё намерение, ИИ и байты, которые исполняет процессор.

В процессе появились программы на RISC-V и ARM64, флешка с собственным UEFI-приложением, физический Dell, цветные объекты на экране и кот, которому можно передать новый мир по Bluetooth. Исчезли далеко не все слои. Зато стало понятнее, что именно они делают и сколько работы за нас обычно выполняют.

Several Mississippi homes have been purchased near datacenters and one resident said realtor outlined target to buy more than 400

People in a Mississippi neighborhood, many of whom dislike a nearby power plant central to Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence ambitions, have received a stark offer – to sell their houses to his company and make way.

Real estate agents have been going door to door in Southaven, Mississippi, on behalf of xAI, touting a deal to purchase houses as long as the owners agree to not join a lawsuit against the company over the power plant’s noise. (Musk’s AI company officially became SpaceXAI in July and has lately been rebranded as SpaceXSI but to neighbors of the datacenter in Mississippi, it remains xAI.)

Привет, Хабр! На связи системный аналитик Илья Глазунов и разработчик Кирилл Дунаев. Мы работаем с платформой аналитического карточного хранилища Т-Банка. Попутно открываем все новые грани одного из главных компонентов нашего детища — Apache Cassandra. 

Мы уже изучили тонну материалов, сами стали носителями знаний, делимся ими в команде и на Хабре. Но не перестаем натыкаться на интересные механики и особенности Cassandra, которые приходится разбирать по принципу «с миру по нитке». 

Та механика, о которой пойдет речь, могла проявиться только в системе со специфическим дизайном, предназначенной для очень конкретных задач, при значительной нагрузке на запись и высоком коэффициенте параллельности.

В статье разберем, почему утверждение «Cassandra — колоночная БД» частично верное. Приоткроем занавес, как база данных работает с мета-данными и объединением неизменяемых файлов при высокой пишущей нагрузке. А еще подискутируем на тему понятия атомарности операций во вселенной Apache Cassandra и разберемся, причем же тут UDT и frozen UDT.

For months, Mary Peltola’s campaign for Alaska’s Senate seat has denied any connection to a separate campaign launched by a man who, coincidentally, shares the exact same name as Peltola’s Republican opponent, Dan Sullivan.

New reporting from the New York Times undercuts that claim. The outlet reported, based on interviews, obtained text messages and legal filings, that the Peltola campaign had not only recruited Mr Sullivan (not the Republican), but had sought out a number of Dan Sullivans across the state for potential candidacy, as well as others who could peel votes away from Peltola’s main opponent.

Projections show votes for Palestinian parties surged in a tight contest that drew highest turnout in decades

• Israel election results – live updates

• Analysis: Rise of Palestinian parties in Knesset will redraw Israel’s political landscape

Israel’s future hung in the balance on Wednesday as it became clear that Benjamin Netanyahu had lost his governing majority. His political fate now depends on whether opposition Jewish parties are prepared to forge a common front with Palestinian parties, whose support surged in Tuesday’s elections.

The leader of the Jewish opposition bloc, the retired general Gadi Eisenkot, appeared to rule out such a broad coalition in a premature declaration of victory overnight for what he called a “Zionist majority”.

Israeli voters turned out in record numbers, and the results remain too close to call. And, more than 10,000 people have been infected with Ebola since the outbreak was first declared in May.

ReviveDB backs up Supabase projects on Postgres 17 outside Supabase, and restores every database backup into a temporary PostgreSQL database before it counts as verified.

The restore is compared with an inventory of the source: tables, rows, columns, constraints, indexes, sequences, views, functions, triggers, RLS policies, grants and extensions. Row counts alone miss a restore that loses a constraint or a policy.

Each backup run uses its own short-lived, read-only Postgres role that also reads rows behind row-level security. The same recovery point holds Auth data, Storage files and Edge Functions.

A recovery point restores into a new Supabase project, or into the original after a rehearsal on a copy. Free for one project: https://revivedb.dev

Projections show votes for Palestinian parties surged in a tight contest that drew highest turnout in decades

• Israel election: what we know so far

• Analysis: Rise of Palestinian parties in Knesset will redraw Israel’s political landscape

Oxynote is a new open-source (Apache-2.0) internal wiki for engineering teams. A page can include a chart that runs its own query against Prometheus, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MariaDB right next to the explanatory text, and changes to important pages go through a draft, a diff, and approval, like a pull request.

Internal docs go stale because people open them only when something breaks. Live data gives the team a reason to open a page every day, and pages read daily stay up to date.

How it works with PostgreSQL:

• Live Metrics blocks run SQL against your PostgreSQL databases and show the result as a time series, bar chart or gauge.
• Queries can use Grafana-style macros such as $__timeFilter, $__timeGroup and $__timeFrom, so existing dashboard queries carry over.
• Oxynote only connects to read-only data sources: a role or database with default_transaction_read_only enabled, or a standby. Every session also runs in read-only mode.
• Oxynote stores its own data in PostgreSQL 18, which is embedded in the all-in-one Docker image.

A typical use is a runbook that shows replication lag or slow query counts next to the steps for handling them, so the chart and its explanation are reviewed together.

Oxynote is available from:

Estuary has released several updates to its PostgreSQL change data capture (CDC) connector focused on backfill recovery, discovery at scale, and schema-change detection.

Targeted Backfills

PostgreSQL capture bindings now support an Additional Backfill Filter, allowing a SQL expression to be applied to backfill queries for an individual table.

This can reduce the amount of data that needs to be re-read when only a subset of a large PostgreSQL table needs to be recovered or re-backfilled. For example, teams can use an indexed identifier or timestamp to limit the rows included in a recovery backfill.

The filter affects backfills only. Ongoing PostgreSQL CDC continues to capture new changes independently of the filter.

Because the SQL expression is applied directly to backfill queries, this is an advanced option and should be configured carefully. Changing the filter requires the affected binding to be backfilled again.

Discovery Controls for Large PostgreSQL Schemas

Estuary has also added PostgreSQL discovery filters that allow captures to control which tables are surfaced during connector discovery.

Captures can now:

• include only selected PostgreSQL schemas
• exclude selected schemas
• discover tables using glob-based table patterns
• optionally discover tables that are not yet included in the PostgreSQL publication

These controls are useful for PostgreSQL environments with large numbers of schemas or tables where only part of the database should participate in a CDC pipeline.

Table metadata discovery is also processed in smaller groups to improve reliability when working with databases containing large numbers of tables.

Configurable Rediscovery

PostgreSQL captures can now configure how frequently Estuary re-runs discovery while a capture is active.

Rediscovery is used to detect changes such as newly added tables and schema updates. The default interval is 15 minutes and can be adjusted for environments that require faster or less frequent discovery.

This gives PostgreSQL operators more control over the trade-off between schema-change detection latency and catalog-query activity.

PostgreSQL CDC and Backfills

Estuary's PostgreSQL source connector uses logical replication to capture inserts, updates, and deletes from the PostgreSQL write-ahead log (WAL).

When a new capture starts, Estuary can first backfill the existing contents of selected tables and then transition to ongoing CDC. The new backfill and discovery controls provide additional options for operating this process on large PostgreSQL environments and during recovery scenarios.

The PostgreSQL CDC connector supports PostgreSQL 10.0 and later across self-hosted PostgreSQL and managed PostgreSQL services.

Critics warn of climate danger as president in Texas claims change will save companies and consumers billions

Donald Trump said his administration is “terminating” Biden-era regulations holding oil and gas companies accountable for large leaks of planet-warming methane during a rally in Lubbock, Texas, on Tuesday evening.

“Tonight, I’m officially terminating Biden’s expensive and unnecessary methane regulations to save consumers and energy producers,” Trump said, lifting what he called “crippling regulations on methane that caused prices to skyrocket” for small oil and gas operators. The change would save consumers and energy producers $45bn and unlock 210m barrels of oil, he said, which is equivalent to about 10 days of US petroleum consumption.
