Well, there is a fact that "we got pregnant" before the 9/11. As of why my wife couldn't have started a side business while pregnant - some things are, well, private.

Ah, yes, that burnout when trying to start a new thing alongside a day job. Happened to me as well, and it was hell. Back in 2001, I was living in a small village half an hour drive from the city. We thought living in the country will be fa

This is a beautiful device. I wonder how much it improves over the existing one, though. Thinking about it, usb-c cable and faster ui are valuable. Larger screen, probably not a big deal.

Here is a backstory of how Norway avoided the oil industry descent into corruption. They were lucky to hire an Iraqi with experience who built the healthy foundations. https://www.ft.com/content/99680a04-92a0-11de-b63b-

The problem is not that the MC founders never intended to sell, then changed their mind after they reached an interesting sum. The problem is just that they were so certain they will never sell and talked about it so many times, that (some

It's not only about skills - it's about focus. At one point I (as a bootstrapped solopreneur, profitable for a long time) decided the bottleneck in my career is not technical ability or features. I sorely lacked business depth, ma

With iPhone 12 Pro Max I expected a ton of difference compared to 12 Pro with that much larger sensor. Reviews were mostly in the "meh" area - I guess their software is just so good. So I expect no big real-world improvement in t

The reason Apple keeps forcing us to use lightning cable while everybody else uses USB-C is, well, money. Apple gets paid for every lightning cable sold and would leave a lot of money on the table if we could simply use any of the USB-C one

AFAIK it works exactly as Oracle. Doing something barely similar would probably introduce some very expensive bugs in production.

DB2 LUW (Linux/Unix/Windows), DB2 iSeries, and DB2 z/OS are three different databases. With the same name - I guess for branding.

Low-code is all the rage these days, and such tools are nice, for a while. But let's look at my use cases: 1) There is no way you can build a very large and complex ERP in low-code tools. First, you would hit a performance wall quickly

Perhaps we have the same glasses :) Delphi did use to crash, but not that much. It had its quirks and we knew which ones they were and it didn't impede us. We now use .NET5 and in some products. WPF for GUI, but new stuff is all made i

Delphi is nowadays mostly dead and used to maintain legacy software. It's a terrible shame. To understand why, we need to remember what Delphi was at the time it was made. It directly competed with VB6, an interpreted crap that needed

Postgres has Oracle layer, available as a commercial variant by EnterpriseDB. I don't think MariaDB implementation can compete, but EDB Postgres is solid. Basically a native implementation of Oracle in Postgres.

Rider is incredibly fast and superior to VS in all aspects but one - its debugger is terribly broken. VS will break on my line of code that crashes. Rider will crash somewhere completely unrelated. My code is very much async, that might be

Your thinking very closely reflects mine. I actually did build a C# parser generator producing strongly typed AST from base ANSI grammar and inherited Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and Postgres grammars. We are using it in our database migrati

I think 11 months is absolutely crazy, and the context for that is that I earn for living by selling my database migration software [1]. They could have used my software to copy up to 16 tables in parallel for a mere $3k. They could have co

I can give you a glimpse into the past. Amiga had a very slow CPU (7 MHz) and each instruction took between 4 and 40-ish cycles. However, it had 3 special purpose co-processors. For these demos, Blitter (very fast bit copy and memory fill f

In a few months, it's not so far away. If you can share your database code (data is not important), we can make sure that our parsers and translation layer work with all the code constructs you use from day 1.

Yep, we built SQL Tran to do exactly that. https://www.spectralcore.com/sqltran . Finishing the rewrite right now which allows us to make changes much faster.

Actually, they are not making a cross platform GUI. They're simply supporting in NET Core what they have done so far in NET Framework - but only if you build for Windows.

I love it, thanks. One suggestion, though - make it mobile friendly.

It's interesting, but there is surprisingly little (next to no) details. Are you using map/reduce or Aggregation framework? Is the data out to be consumed by say Ruby client or are you just displaying results on the web? Looks like a pure l
