Serious question: is there really any difference between the major RDBMS at this point? At what workload levels does engine quality come into play? So far I've thrown multi-terabyte/high TP workloads at Oracle, Sybase and DB2, and

If only we had a version control system that didn't rely on a central hub...

What's the point of this? I'm still going to need to shell out thousands to deploy to production, no?

I'm not sure the links between the government and the ME3 carriers are as clear as you think. And even if they were (and this is going sound scandalous): who cares? If some Emirati government wants to subsidize my domestic travel withi

For point releases? Or for ABI compatibility? Edit: Went digging. Here's the link: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2015-Fe... It's for ABI compatibility. It certainly adds a certain

What are your thoughts on the 2.5 year support windows for "Extended Support" releases? (I have a view here, but I don't want to bias your response one way or another).

Weren't they bought out by Contoso?

I believe you are looking for the term 'ponzi scheme'

Ah, see, that's okay. Phew!

Wait -- so you're saying that if I add $20 to my account via credit card, it'll expire after a year?

Any plans to use your new linuxulator to locally deploy and develop linux binaries?

Serious question about /r/wallstreetbets: is that sub a parody, or a collection of people with undiagnosed gambling issues?

The ability to use apt-get is what is truly intriguing. Will I be able to change the repositories that I face off against?

Does anyone trust back office developers at major banks to implement a cohesive, industrywide blockchain-based replacement for 30 or 40 years of settlement and clearance technology? I sure as hell don't, and I work in the space: we&#

Ah, the good old days of the BCE. That was a major breakdown in Amex's risk management.

I did this to the trading database back in 2008 while supporting the mortgage desk of a major investment bank, a day before Lehman went down. Thank god for backups and translog replays.

Honestly, I'm working on reducing my dependence on computers/pen/pencil/whatever for todo lists and organization. I try and keep it all in my head -- if I can't, that usually means I'm biting off way more than

I finally got GTD implemented in OneNote. Now you're telling me I now need to move on to Emacs org mode? God, it's like trying to choose a Javascript framework.

This brings to mind "Review"[1] on Comedy Central, in which the protagonist attempts to review life itself. "Life!" the show begins. "It’s literally all we have. But is it any good?" Highly recommended. [1] ht

Given that most of the funds ended up in Hong Kong... There's more at play here than Bangladesh getting ripped off.

Oh my. Treasury ops at banks live in fear of clients getting ripped off like this. The liability is probably not the Fed's, but the reputation hit from large value transfer fraud is enough that loss of client business is a very real po
