@tvaziri That sequence from Up is so powerful, amazing storytelling and not a word was spoken. It’s one of my favorite pieces of cinema. I cry every time.
@simon Lesson #1 of dealing with production databases at scale is to turn off the cost-based optimizer and use just the rule-based one: for repeated queries predictable-but-maybe-slower beats faster but less predictable. Cost-based with statistics is fine for ad-hoc queries but in production it drives people mad because it’s completely unpredictable.

Zoom in again and you'll see a star next to Phobos. That's Earth! That's home.

Seen from Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover.
