  1. Re:Oracle worked very hard at making a closed ecos on Oracle Effectively Doubles Licence Fees To Run Its Stuff in AWS (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    If you're not using Oracle's extensions to wring out performance from your RDMS, you're probably wasting even more money than you were by choosing Oracle in the first place. No one chooses Oracle to get MySQL or PostgreSQL performance.

    Do you remember when DRM was classified as evil? Yeah... me neither.

  3. Murder by any other name... on FDA Confirms Toxicity of Homeopathic Baby Products; Maker Refuses To Recall (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    In a sane world, selling a product intended to be ingested which has been proven to be fatal when ingested would be considered murder.

    How, exactly, do you have non-Governmental version of the FDA that is effective without Government intervention?

  5. Re:Why is it insane for the router to be far? on LG's UltraFine 5K Display Becomes Useless When It's Within Two Meters of a Router (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 0

    Ethernet was not designed to avoid the problem of RF interference. You are an idiot, because you let a decision that has no affect on your life bother you.

  6. The router is interfering. The monitor is being interfered with.

  7. Third, the headphones then connect to the bottom of the phone - not the most convenient thing.

    The headphone jack has been on the bottom of the phone since at least the iPhone 5c.

  8. At no point in US history has minimum wage covered every job and every type of employment.

  9. Per job, perhaps. Per hour? Per month? Per year? Depends on where you live, I guess, but most places don't need lawn cutting 12 months out of the year.

  10. Reasonable people are saying that if you want a job that pays a living wage, find some work people want to pay a living wage to have performed. You're saying that every adult should be able to choose whatever work they want to perform, and someone must pay a living wage for it. So you're absolving people of responsibility for their own welfare, and turning responsible people into slaves to cater to their every whim. I think you need to get out of your mother's basement and perhaps get run over by an Uber driver in a rush, trying to make ends meet.

  11. That does set a lower-bound, no?

    if it can only store four billion rows, it isnt "the cloud." its just a KVM instance running on a shared hosting facility then, isnt it.

    There is no relationship between the index's datatype size and the kind of system the RDMS is hosted on. Also, a KVM instance running in a shared hosting facility (on? is it on the roof of the building?) is running in the cloud. That's what the cloud is... shared (virtual) servers, optionally maintained by someone else.

    so not only were you incapable of scaling your infrastructure or your program to handle four billion rows --something every sysadmin on the planet is capable of-- you weren't even competent enough to set up monitoring for it.

    Sysadmins are not responsible for database schema design or implementation. The issue was not a matter of scaling.

    You have demonstrated that you are more of a fucked-up shit than the code.org developer who decided to use a 32-bit index. How does it feel to be worse than the pile of shit the story is about?

    How many kids use a hand-me-down iPad and BT keyboard to submit work to code.org? And yes, the iPad has an app pre-installed which can save text files locally.

    You probably deserve to have the iPad shoved up your anus until it rips through your colon.

    Y2K wasn't a "bug". It was a reasonable design decision made when storage (both RAM and long-term) was expensive and scarce. Computer systems were new, and no one had any idea how long programs would be running.

    On the flip-side, 64 bit ints have been cheap for ages now. Code.org programmers were just lazy fucks.

  19. I wonder if stealing someone's laptop and then using it for your own stuff could be argued to be giving implicit permission to access whatever the thief is doing. This guy didn't steal any identity. He just used Facebook.

    So, if you're a rich fuck who buys a plane with auto-pilot and takes it for a spin and crashes, you're going to sue Boeing for false advertising?

    What does "immediately" mean? When the FOIA request is received? When the document is created? In either case, the only people who know when the document becomes available are also able to create a fake or modified version and create a signature for it.
