I should have watched the video you linked before answering, but I still think the fact that BB King performed as part of a fictional band for the movie means his (by then long) experience playing in jails could have inspired the scene you

I took it more as in when you’re part of a big enough org, even if (perhaps) what you’re doing has some purpose or positive impact in the world, you may be detached enough to not feel it. You may not care for the right command app (though I

Great post, happy Lunar user here! I followed a kind of reverse path in a way: I ran my own small business for some years (first with a partner, then solo) but I eventually got burned out due to the feeling of being always-on. I’m now in co

That’s a cultural and not a technical problem. My experience is limited, but it is that, when motorists are idiots, bikers are idiots too. Yes, sure, less chance of getting killed by a bicycle (though serious risk of injury if you’re and ol

I'm in industry too, though I did go through formal studies at university and databases was one of the topics that interested me the most back then (late 90s). I dropped out without graduating so I'm definitely not in academia, bu

Yes, this is exactly what this shows. I think the authors' work is interesting but they shouldn't have said 'relational database' in the paper, just 'sql database' instead ("We keep an SQL database storing

Considering I was (unknowingly) very obviously infringing their trademark (X for MySQL was OK, MySQL-X was not), yeah, I felt the whole thing was handled in a good way.

Oh, definitely, I meant things better than my project had become available. MySQL still has a long way to go in terms of friendly HA, and I’m not sure it will ever get to the level of something like cockroachdb. There’s plenty of room for i

¡Muchas gracias! Y si, espero que ahora que el trabajo remoto es mas aceptado, mucha mas gente pueda "irse sin irse", trabajando para donde sea pero desde acá. ¡Que estés bien también!

It was great though honestly, my first reaction was a bit of panic. The first thoughts that came to my mind were "will he say it sucked? maybe he used it and lost some data?". Once that didn't happen then yeah, it was thrilli

Thanks! In 2009 I joined Percona and saw that, by then, it was better for me to contribute to other open source projects in the MySQL ecosystem than to continue trying to get highbase caught up with things like mysql-mmm.

Back in 2002 I lost my job during a regional financial crisis (I’m from Uruguay). I was working at a bank (as a contractors) and some coworkers and I were working on a HA project for MySQL at the moment (to use it at work). Once I got laid

Well, TIL what Cystic Teratoma is and yes, it can grow teeth “tissue” (I’m quoting because I know nothing about medicine). I’m fact, the etymology for Teratoma is the Greek word Tera, which means monster: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.

I said I don’t like the punishment philosophy, so since you’re asking what I’d do, let’s first get that out of the way. To attain affluence solely from crime you’d have to be part of the organized crime, so yes, I’d consider them on par wit

I certainly don’t like the revenge/punishment philosophy of jail, but I think the system should be fixed for everyone (make it truly about rehab when possible, and about protecting society when not possible), but what you propose would

Well, it is a concept after all. Most concept vehicles are a hard pass for me too but I guess people like them because companies keep making (usually) crazy concept cars all the time. Also, the yoke is not a Tesla invention, F1 cars use yok

There’s a Canadian company focused on databases called Pythian (I worked there a few years ago) that takes its name from Pythia because they started as an Oracle services company, which I thought was a nice word play. When I visited HQ in 2
