It’s not a direct solution to this, but take a look at Snowflake. You can partition off subsets of the DB and provide direct SQL access to just that part, for either internal or customer use. It’s mainly for analytics purposes versus produc

I'm only a sample of 1, but I loved my original iPhone X - had to replace it due to taking on a new job and they haven't approved that device yet, so I'm back to an iPhone 8 unfortunately. To me although the screen size was n

I've been a user for many years - would love to know how large this awesome and vibrant community is. Is there a way we can estimate it via the API etc?

I’d put oracle in that boat too. Actually, I think it would be hard to find an enterprise software vendor who wouldn’t want to include extra functionality in their premium SKUs as a way to further differentiate them and encourage up-sell.

Prerequisite: AMD64. Does that mean it will work with my Ryzen, but no intel chips? That’s a nice win for AMD at the expense of intel if true for corporate environments.

In terms of games - Mechwarrior and Spyhunter are still my favourites. I’d love them to be resurrected. (I can’t wait for MW to come out next year)

MS Access. It was still easier to build quite powerful apps covering the UX, controller and model than the commercial alternatives today. In many aspects cloud application development is only just catching up with 20 year old declarative fr

Um, VMWare sold in 2003 for USD$635m. Add nearly 15 years worth of inflation (plus current tech hype) and I’d say that was very much a successful “unicorn”. They were just recovering from the dot come bubble then. So valuations weren’t as l

Only a couple of data points, and I recognise these are not a trend, but: 1) Estonia have been doing some interesting things recently. In fact, they contributed a lot to Skype in the early days. 2) a significant portion of developers etc fo

If you can offer some sort of “hobby” plan with a limited I/O and DB size that would be great for hobby projects like what I build. I’ve used RDS before and it is great, but the cost is a bit eye watering when we are talking about less

I’m pretty sure if a privately owned bar refused to allow Asian-Americans or any other person based on their appearance in the public would rightly have an issue. Why should Harvard, or any other organisation play by different rules?

Inflation, at least in Australia where I live is measured as a “basket of goods”. I totally agree that inflation has gone higher than it seems reported, but I think that is due to categories that are not properly captured in the basket. No

Agree. It goes to show Elon doesn't need to be as hands-on as he appears to be when he has a good 2IC on board.

I’m no expert on this topic and have used both PG and MySQL. My preference is MySQL purely because the syntax is easier, or at least consistent with what I learned at uni in the late ‘90s. I also like MySQL workbench, although I’m sure ther

Totally as an aside, but for what it’s worth, 20 years ago when I did my degree I gave myself a rule that I would do 1 extracurricular activity every year that I could talk to for 5 minutes in a job interview. I theorised that over the cour

I’d say a lot of enterprise software fits into this category.... just that they are very evolved now so pack a lot more functionality in than what they started with. Ie CRMs and ERPs were really just basic CRUD applications when they starte
