Agree about Windows Server. You can run SqlServer on Linux though. I'm not aware of your specific addons, but the Sql Server itself works perfectly well on Linux.

Indexed views are much faster than trying to achieve the same result with triggers. Triggers have serious concurrency limitations, and you do recalculations even when the fields you depend on are not touched. Indexed views are not much wors

I've used Postgres, Oracle, MsSql Server, and MySql in serious projects, no extensive experience with Sqlite, which I know is an amazing player. These days, I do myself a favor and always avoid Oracle and MySql/MariaDB. Postgres i

Dehumidifiers will end up being more efficient in one mode. When the manufacturer creates the new ones, a firmware update moves all legacy devices to the less efficient mode.

I feel the same. Sometimes, I work against this and start conversations. Rarely people are annoyed. Too often, they seem happy someone breaks their shell, they just don't want to be that person who takes the first step. Every time I se

It's really complex. This attack was bad for the Iranian Government, their proxy war allies, and for the American people. In the region, however, it disrupted a rapidly escalating disaster. What comes after this is hard to predict, but

I've extensively used Windows, Mac, and Gnome. KDE is by far the greatest. Each decision is great, everything not matching my preference is configurable.* It's fast, intuitive. It's the way our tools should've been: ena

"We create products and services that we are proud of" This was one of the 3 core values in the best company I ever worked for. One I would never leave, if the region was not heading for a disaster. Good architecture transcends th

When expressed, sounds like a trivial principle. It's surprising how rare it is to see people actually do this. Not only with tech stack: choosing cars, laptops, staying in a toxic relation, the list goes on

Not showing the price was not "my problem". It was the sign of a product packed with traps, footguns and all kind of things that would go wrong and the blame goes to the user. No thank you

Years ago, I joined a company, took over a dev team and was asked to launch the product in 3 months. They were using AWS, so I logged in the account to add a few more machines. Right there, in front of my eyes, were the signs of an adversar

Pedantically, they're wrong, but the two are closely related. They both use the parent's hash together with the contents of the block/changes in the commit to compute hash of the current block/commit. Git supports many p

This is just a result of base 10 being dominant in our natural languages. I assume if we really used base 12, things would be different. What would using base 12 in our natural language mean? Number names needed to be based on 12, not 10. T

In all honesty, this is one of the less abused quotes, and I have seen more benefit from it than harm. Like you, I've seen people produce a lot of slow code, but it's mostly been from people who would have a really hard time writi
