Isn't it 1~1.5 years too late to be of any effect? The waves are mostly over. Recently many countries are turning policies from pandemic to endemic.

Very much in damage control mode. They would not need to justify the decision now, if the decision was in fact right.

Wow! Finally, I waited so many years for emojis and animated gifs. The telemetry has shown that 7 billion (potential) consumers are in dire needs to use emojis. (inappropriate sarcasm)

Isn't this is a typical problem of monoculture? (in the agricultural terms) That is, there are many humans, living under similar conditions (food chain, social behavior), which invites all type of opportunistic organisms (viruses, bact

Human gut has 500 million nerve cells, which is comparable with cat's brain, 760 million nerve cells. My gut is definitely planning something suspicious on its own.

For me particularly, there is no specific reason to exist, and I am quite happy about this. I am not special to leave any lasting impact, as Elon would do. I was born without being asked, as any animal or plant, because of the selfish genes

One question to ask is if they truly need all the 50 TB data in one database instance at once. Some old inactive data can be moved into partitions, then detached and moved to a different DB instance, as an archiving step. It reads like thei

Depends on your needs, the WiseJ is really great for complex LOB applications. Full control over input data validation, rich controls, easy integration with other libraries (Charts, Editors, PDF viewers), the rapid web app development in it

I am using 43 inch 4k monitor (around US$600). It has a low enough dpi, so the text looks readable at native resolution, without scaling or upscaling. My viewing distance is 70 cm / 30 inches.
