while i admit it’s doable if using traditional SQL database it’s sadly not possible with newsql and noSQL databases. Also in my last 30 year working for different industries, it’s extremely rare that DBA write unit test or a proper deploy s

you are assuming I am using Oracle SQL on a database server I control. What if instead we have to use Amazon Aurora or Azure cosmosdb … you can’t simply use C for your stored procedure and you can’t simply login in the vm to have a debugger

they are both equally unsafe to use as a storage for distributed lock. unless the only thing you are trying to protect with your lock is access to other rows in the same postgresql server

azure blob store is literally used as a cheap way to acquire distributed lock today by the azure sdk. if you look at azure event hub library they use blob as lock to partition the consumer instances at runtime.

Wow as a white men that is completely against affirmative action I still 100% agree with everything in this article. Basically if only 2% of student taking algebra 1 are black then the solution is : 1- not to Remove algebra 1 completely. 2-

i think you don’t understand my point at all. You are correct in saying the Majority of white (80%) will have better odd of getting a call back compared to an average black person. But while forcing company to use hiring quota will help the

one easy way to get rid of it (for university) is to force them to accept new student only on score to a test for example: GRE, SAT ... If this is done you cannot say the university are racist anymore. If they decide to do this, there will
