Cave Nebula!

I'm excited for the @juxtpro XT25 London conference happening 12th June, with a fantastic line-up! juxt.pro/xt25. Invite-only, register your interest on the form!

@COliverGodby Ofc! I'd watch youtubes by @AstroBackyard. I got started with the target of snapping Andromedia, he has a vid for that. You should always start with a smallish refractor rather than a huge scope - my first was Stellamira 90. and it's great. Also the Zwo AM amounts. Good luck!

@jonpither You’re very welcome - it’s stunning! I have really incredible dark skies where I live and would love to get into astrophotography, but I am clueless as to where to start and a little intimidated. What advice could you give me as to where to start..?

The Spaghetti Nebula!

@COliverGodby Hi Oli - it is my capture. Thank you for the kind words. It's actually 6 different image panels stitched together, about 60 hours in total. It's a very faint target - I may come back to it next year and experiement further!

@jonpither Wow! Is this one of your captures, Jon? I mean it’s breathtaking either way, but if I am right and it is one of yours, **applause** **hat off**

v2.0.0-beta6 is out today 🚀 Lots of bug fixing and resilience improvements in this one. Next up is beta7, with improved support for time series data - we'll finally be able to settle an age old debate: "how is XTDB different to a time series database?" xtdb.com/blog/v2beta6

The Garlic Nebula!

I'm giving an online tech talk with @FINOSFoundation this Wednesday (4pm GMT) on 'as-of reporting' in financial services - but really this applies to all organisations who care about the auditability of systems. XTDB helps you to quickly figure out how data has changed and why /1

Critical JUXT R&D

JUXT tech talk. I need to figure out what a monad really is.

Are JSON columns and versioning painful in your existing databases? Probably! 📹 Check out this short tour through some of XTDB's novel SQL features for handling semi-structured data ('records') and as-of queries.

IC443 - The Jellyfish Nebula!

The bitemporal data model can solve key reporting & compliance requirements, but it is tricky to implement and maintain. 📺 Watch this talk by @refset covering various approaches to implementing bitemporal systems, and how to ensure a smooth process ➡️ juxt.pro/blog/reconcili…

@bbatsov Tweet is 5/10 tbh

Our society today is obsessed with reviews. I order a cab - I need to review the ride. I order some food - write a review. Go to some hotel/airbnb - write a review! Buy something - more reviews! And when we are not writing reviews... we are reading reviews!

Say no to CRUD!

XTDB Bi-Temporal SQL. Time-travel scrubbing. IYKYK. The "as-is vs as-was" convo is dead.
