i was replying to a comment that said they’d worked with “thousands of dba’s (sic)” who were superfluous, so as a rhetorical device, I used their own phrase to make my own point - that being a dba requires a combination of generalized exper

in the early days of blogs, i found comments to be interesting and engaging dialogs. the last decade, or so, i’ve found comments to be unhelpful nitpicking/personal disagreements, spam, or support requests, so i’ve completely stopped c

off-topic but i’m so licensing ignorant that each time something like this comes up i have no idea what’s being said. is there a good ELI5 resource where i can get started with licensing permissiveness?

it would be interesting to see the effects of taxation in this particular situation in the united states. from what i’ve seen, this is one of those situations where financial penalties do not dissuade or deter proliferation. at a minimum it

agreed. as with most statistical analyses, the conclusions drawn can differ in some interesting ways, which is what should lead to further inquiries for research and hypotheses. where one set of eyes sees higher education as unnecessary due

if they were able to replace aurora instances with a glorified kvp store, then they bought the wrong tool in the first place. i saved hundreds of dollars per month by switching from an audi a4 to riding a home-built bike for my 1.5 mile com
