Well, the stuff in my post is obvious enough that you don’t need to actually look for it.

My first experience with Oracle was taking out all the government services from my state because I passed a DBA a script that inserted too much data in a transaction…

Well, an almost invincible guy that had only this one weak spot…

No idea.

Oracle is known to throw millions into lawsuits with no fundaments at all, and I’m not aware of anybody that published a comparison involving their database recently. Those two may be related, or not, IDK.

The usual whataboutism people reply with every time I point this is that Microsoft does the same.

What is correct, Microsoft does the same :)

processing extreme amounts of data at extreme io rates

For anybody trying to take that seriously, keep in mind that the Oracle’s query planner is absolutely shit, the write performance can go to shit depending on the contents of your transactions, any advanced transaction insulation also destroys performance, and single-machine performance is completely shit, the extreme numbers are all on scalability and when compared to other (unpatched on the case of Postgres) ACID databases.

Also, it’s not clear if those claims are still real, because you can only run Oracle databases if you sign a contract saying you won’t compare it to other systems.

That prophecy is not theirs.

Fuck all the players that practice that “jump into the adversary’s knee” move. From Argentina and from the other teams.

They brought the stock because they thought they could sell it for more in a short while.

The next step in that plan was always selling it. Turns out they thought wrong.

(But more precisely on this case, some index funds were buying it with people’s retirement money because they were required to. As soon as they all brought it, there were none any more to buy.)

Only takes a couple weeks of praise training, then the tape is gone.

Your dog experience doesn’t really translate to cats…

Yep, they are gearing up to that.

Whether it works or not, I have no idea. Revolutions have bad odds for the involved people, even when it’s the powerful doing them. The one you are probably thinking about is 80 years old already, and it remains the default reference exactly because those things usually don’t work out to get written into history.

Also, yes, some of the following steps are invading Greenland, Cuba, and Canada. Again, “annexing” is the name of an outcome. We know they will try, we don’t know the outcome.

In my experience, the only OS where printers won’t have drivers is Windows.

But I don’t deal often with dark demoniac systems, so there are probably lots of niche hellish devices that I don’t know the details.

Were he drunk last week when he took him?

What you mean short notice? AFAIK they could have ordered it on Trump’s first term.

Our ancestors killed them with tribalism only.

Or, rather, the ones that they didn’t just teach to not eat us.

It certainly is.

From the wiki:

“It uses ferrite magnetic-core memory in 4096 or 8192 words of 40 bits, comprising 39 bits of data with parity.”

So a whooping 39kB of memory on the largest option!

“Tape is read at 500 characters per second and punched at 100 cps.”

Compare that with a micro-SD…

“The bit time is 6 microseconds, jumps execute in 288 microseconds and simple arithmetic instructions in 576 microseconds.”

And it run and an incredible speed of 1 to 3kHz!

(And this is overselling the computer, it was slower than what the numbers appear.)

Nah, I’m pretty sure every LLM out there knows what Rust has a borrow checker.

Depends if we can adapt them quickly enough to survive.

Brazil has been dismantling our biotech sector for 20 years now, so I’m not optimist, but YMMV.

Anyway, I’m more optimist on avoiding problem than on dealing with it.

There is a football world cup happening.

I think there’s no reliable way to discover all people that participated in a Teams meeting.

Looking manually, it will leave people out too.

Valve’s DRM-based no disks environment manages to be freer than current consoles.

But I do avoid both.
