It's just purposeful blindness - I worked for a company building out tooling that insisted markdown based security was good enough and showed it off for anyone at the company to attack because they were so sure. It took me less than 5

Its sort of a CORE database feature, the "data control language" - access permissions, schema mapping and object mapping, views abstracting functionality, stored procedures granting RUN AS powers and proxying permissions - they ar

There's only so many billionaires and at Apple's scale you would not offer such a product for public sale even if you do custom builds for the rich and famous. Apple makes product lines with assembly lines, its not a hand fab or c

The truth is that accountability isn't the problem, its the lack of resources, prioritization, and ability to change things that make them burdensome. After a certain point you're just trying to solve the problem in the least anno

Why do you think the top 1% pays that much in tax? Because we impose arbitrary taxes on them or because they get the vast amount of the wealth as well? What's the top income tax bracket? Does it go up to Jeff Bezos levels or does it ta

Well that's not fair, there's been a bunch of tries at HTAP systems (hybridizing both an OLTP and OLAP system with some columnar bolt ons) but there's no free lunch converting between data formats - columnar formats usually h

It depends but generally its a marketing focused role with an inherent sales pitch - helping you to solve problems with their software means you buy more of their thing and get their brand out there. Seeing a lot of it collapse into "s

Yes, it would. Basically every serious database tries to allocate everything and more - back in the day we'd just allocate VMs on the machine even with the overhead because knowing it cannot leave its constraints and would work within

The problem in basically any consumer kitchen is storage - having racks and racks of stuff under your big stainless steel commercial countertops is no problem.

Maybe rephrase this part - "It is read-only by default as this provides total immunity to corruption. Using read-write mode offers much higher write performance, but adds the possibility for stray application writes thru pointers to si

The headline is that the US Supreme Court broke the deal that made this work, the EU was perfectly fine with an independent organization managing the problem. Blaming the EU for asking for some basic sanity is ???

Damn, you got them all, there's been no rise of right wing populism glorifying hitler, the end of democratic institutions, the rise of dictatorial leaders, and expulsion of "foreigners" up to and including concentration camps
