This "IT Cell" is pretty active on Twitter. It is vicious and relentless. I suspect it is present on HN platform too. I have posted two submissions (one from NYTimes and another from The Guardian) on issues that highlight the Modi

Most (if not all) modern RDBMSs allow for reliable horizontal and vertical scaling. SQL Server (the db you mention) is no slouch when paired with additional CPUs (for vertical linear scaling) and allows for transactionally safe replication

It's a 10 based system after the first 1'000. Hardly a "redeeming" feature considering numbers are always read/parsed right to left (Arabic) and given the first three digits separated for the thousands, the mind i

You think that’s bad? Half the folks in this 2,500 mile radius are “laughing in their crores and lakhs”. Mildly infuriating for someone not used to arbitrary multiple names.

This is just an overly elaborate concept of a centralized (or commonly accessible table) of states that other independent systems can use for their own “triggers”. What seems like a lifetime ago, we achieved this with IBM MQSeries allowing

But that was exactly how programming was taught 30 years ago. Relational data modeling was your starting point. Then object orientation came along and we suffered the dreaded object relational impedance mismatch when we couldn’t translate i

Wow! It’s difficult here to invoke Hanlon: do not attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

What can you achieve with fame that you cannot achieve with money alone? What is this need for wanting others to know that you exist at all? Jobs that demand "fame" of some sorts will always take an emotional toll on personalities

AFAIK, this Oracle "feature" is only true for columns marked as "not nullable". So if you attempt to insert an empty sting ("") into a not-nullable column, it will fail. All other relational databases different
