Also, MySQL is technically , an Oracle database (after Sun got bought out). Now they should write some migrations to turn all of that off. sarcasm intensifies

It shows that a big company like Amazon, hiring thousands of SDEs still needed other vendors software than their own, because of all that time they spent in hiring and firing people and obsessing over their customers needs. sarcasm

Here's a direct example of what happened after Aadhar came in to play: https://www.livemint.com/Money/aJ6VPyH94gNVwm8alEs87L/11-lak... So there were roughly 1.1m duplicate tax numbers, and were cut off from

It tells you that a wrongly applied system can cause damage. In respect of Aadhar in India, I know the Anti pattern where they deduplicated many undeserving people receiving 'welfare' payouts from the state. Is this to state that

The way I read it - Bloomberg writes an alarmist article. Nothing to worry about, unless you're invested in automation stock.

Unless these linting tools go out there with source, I'm going to be skeptical of Google's magic code checking and bug finding process. And IMHO, such large number of patches / fixes on Linux should always use a decent open a

Race conditions can be created by I/O paths. I'm willing to state that unless the said language abstracts away all I/O, it will always be possible to introduce a bug :)

I do this. I do it uniquely for every project. These reasons: - I can't use one version of a binary distro for production, because fixes keep coming. - Every company / people I work with uses different *nix distro, so the initial

Here's my simple Python list: 1. Pick Python binary / Official Docker Image 2. Use virtualenv for Developer Boxes 3. Well defined Pipfile / requirements.txt 4. Avoid most binary package building. Prefer those with readymade w

Anyone who wanted to deploy easy should either prefer a hosted/low code solution or something similar to GAE/Heroku. The deal with server less is that while it looks attractive, it, like many AWS products, is great for starting ou

Concrete use-case: Infrastructure as code. Sometimes we like to keep track of servers, environments, accounts or what not, and a human readable/verifiable representation is useful to check differences in a period of time, for audit pur

Good stuff, it's finally here! Now what I'd like is for someone to integrate the DDL/DML stuff as well (Git and CSV); The idea behind that is: 1. 'create table' should create a new .csv and new .schema.csv; 2. &#x27

Oh! That's nice, I was checking out their issue tracker :) But then I'd like to point out that GIMP on macOS did not need X for a while, and they aren't on GTK 3 yet. :)

I don't know if they'll be able to get GTK 3 into 1.0, but that would be awesome. The fact that the new builds don't need a X server kind of make it awesome already!

I think the logic is simple: while(true) { getHired(); work(); quitOrGetFired(); } There's no logical explanation for any of these steps. Every company that is being funded is not funded for being responsible, but for showcasi

That's impressive AF. The website demo is cool, although it ran a bit slow on my PC/GPU. I love the fact that most stuff (including paintings) are better created as a command stream vs when rasterized. Minimum( number(Commands),
