When Sigterm Does Nothing: A Postgres Mystery

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-26 22:43:08

Maybe the customer doesn't supply enough information to begin narrowing down the cause. Maybe you just don't have enough time to track the issue down fully. And everyone eventually moves on. But when you see the same bug strike again months later, you quietly mutter to yourself and wish you'd been persistent

Over the weekend, DC Studios’ new Superman feature became this year’s third-biggest box-office debut in the US.
