It's unfortunate you are getting down voted for pointing out pretty much what has happened. Whether Trump is or isn't allied with Russia is immaterial if much of what he does is exactly the same as what he would do if he were. The

Building non-open extensions on top of it, it's not the license I don't like, the bad taste is that they use something open extend it and keep part of it closed. The license allows it but on the flip side it's vendor lock-in

Becoming more the norm for them, Neki is the same. Immediately rules out ever using them (though I don't currently have any problems that would benefit from that level of scale currently, have in the past though). Postgres's licen

Only reason I have it (cloud flare tunnels) setup for personal use is because I had to do it for work years ago and yeah, Enterprise(tm) is a good description, haven't touched it in years so when it breaks I'll likely use somethin

4090 isn't that much higher than the XTX (I also have the XTX), it's 1008GB/s (4090) vs 960GB/s for the XTX's. The 5090 destroys both at 1792GB/s. It's not really one thing with the nvidia cards best I c

Google went to that model after they had a massive cash cow though. You can afford to play silly buggers when you have dumpster trucks of money backing up to your door every day see also: Meta.

Probably, even if the instruction comes down from on high to not co-operate so much institutional inertia (and decades of working together) will keep it going for a while, likely til the senior folks retire.

The US is always going to be a large powerful and influential country, Geography and natural resources and a high education base ensure that. What it won't be is as influential as it was for a long time, if ever. The damage isn'

Usual problem, people don't understand what they do so they undervalue what they do or think it is "simple" - almost nothing involving millions of people and their interests is ever "simple". I get somewhat annoyed

I do wonder how much of that still applies anyway, the extremely cosy/informal relationship between the five members can't really work in a world where one member is threatening to annexe the territory of one and support the annex

Risk is always present, We quantify it for a reason and then we mitigate if it's beyond a level we are comfortable. Living is risk, every time I go to the shop for milk there is a non-zero chance I don't come back but the risk i
