I don’t see anything wrong with charging commercial users for support of an old product. I’m no fan of Oracle of their sales practices but the title is very misleading by omission

So? I said the abuses have been long documented - and a quick Google search will bring up said documentation. I see no need to present sources and results - I'm not claiming anything as fact, just stating opinion in a comment.

Not sure if MySQL is the same but Postgres won't use an index if the statistics suggest doing so will be slower than a full table scan - would expect MySQL to be similar. With 5bn+ rows and a memory constraint, the type of index begins

The H1B study sounds suspicious and the defence of the H1B program weakened an otherwise strong article. H1B abuses have been long documented so while there are legitimate benefits to it, they are outweighed by the problems.

If reconfiguring a service to use a different crypto algo was easy then I’d agree with you. But it is often really hard and makes config difficult. To be honest, when something like WireGuard becomes victim to a flaw in one of the primitive

Well the purists lost is my take. The vision was a fine one, just the approach that was being proposed had too many downsides to really take off.

Ok, perhaps I picked a poor example - but still, the success of a standard depends on some magic formula that isn't easy to repeat.

HATEOAS could have been the future too - many people wanted it to be. With all these standards, the successful ones need to find some magic moment to take off - like HTTP did. Too early to tell if ActivityPub (which I like as a protocol ver

Isn't that what all optimisation is about? Making trade-offs of one kind or another - usually ditching stuff you can do without for stuff you'd like more of.

Agreed. The reason SQL rules is that nothing has really come into existence that is as or more powerful AND easier. I used to hate writing SQL (I still do somewhat) but I took the time some years ago to really learn the language and once yo

Great to see another project at this problem! We've been internally building something very similar but it uses Kotlin (Java) instead of Haskell.

Stupid Apple - I blame Schiller. They won’t support 32Gb ram because it might decrease battery life and requires them to reengineer the logic board but they’re totally cool with a fragile ass keyboard GLUED to a battery! Really there’s no w

I have experience selling to companies and I’ve found that even when they realise they need and want to pay for a piece of software they have absolutely no clue how to figure out what it’s worth. Consequently they engage in endless hardball

Yup, if Jim is behind this then I am more trusting of the technical reasons. I can't wait for the first release of Detroit - very exciting!

Just please don’t let the UX ‘experts’ inside Redmond butcher it like they did Skype. Keep them away! If they were any good at their jobs they wouldn’t be turning out so much crap and parading it as a great thing.

I’m not sure how the hype wagon started but I for one am glad it’s about to pop. I am working (founded) a startup and while we have AI on the roadmap for about a years time, it isn’t something that’s central to our product. (We already use

Wow. Well this just keeps getting better. No wonder Google don't want to discuss their suspension practices - just another form of '(in)security through obscurity'. If the hearsay is correct then this appears to be a hole the

The reason I won’t go for a subscription is because I don’t want to find myself locked out of my password manager if I stop paying the subscription. With IntelliJ (JetBrains) I get perpetual fallback and that makes me super comfortable with

I agree with you but there is still a problem to be solved: a LOT of essential public services are provided by people that have salaries far lower than required for rents in a particular area. Teachers, nurses, police officers, etc.
