WTF happened to the bribe flow going into the 'Clinton Global Fund' after she lost?
You could fool yourself that it was on the up and up, until the day after the election. Since then...you can't even believe it yourself. Cognitive dissonance isn't healthy for your mind.
When housing has been growing at 12%/year, it's in a bubble. Only stupid people rush to 'buy high'.
If your young enough to not have bought your first house yet and your not getting 12+%/year raises, you've made other _big_ mistakes. Your purpose is now to serve as a warning to the next generation. Don't make the mistakes (s)he did!
I've been around long enough to be very skeptical of compatibility layers. Validating can be non-trivial, but at least you'll build tests (you should have had all along).
Doesn't sound like you have much of a clue. The worse the pipes, the _lower_ the cost will be for initial improvements. Granting, the finding the later, smaller leaks will suck.
When I was a road warrior, I had the best damn travel agent.
They knew all the tricks regarding gaming the reservation system.
For example: I need to fly RTF now, but all the flights are full. No problem, they book me to London, then cancel the international leg. Warn me to get to the gate early, so I'm not the one to get bumped.
Which is why smart devs stick to ANSI SQL as much as practical, and leave a standard way of finding all the vendor specific code.
Sure, you are porting stored procedures. But 90% of your data layer should 'just work'. It's expensive and time consuming, but cheaper than Oracle licensing.
Software vendors need to beware of being Oracle only. Sure some places are Oracle shops, but others won't touch Oracle at all. Smart ones will consider the DB, but _absolutely_nothing_else_ from Oracle, not even Java.
Getting it back down to the legalized levels would be a _really_good_start_.
Last election cycle, one of the presidential candidates was running a 'global charity fund'. Taking in many millions, to spend as she saw fit, right in the open. Nobody cared. After she lost the flow went basically to zero. Still nobody cares, it's all just fine, nothing suspicious there...don't you see, she has a vagina! That changes everything!
You boldly asserted that: 'none of our proposals run afoul of the 2nd amendment...'
That's clearly bullshit, as a general statement. Many gun grabber laws have been struck down, just recently. Many more are regularly proposed that are laughable.
What are the odds Ginsburg lives out the Trump presidency? Old girl should be retired, being senile on her own time. But overconfidence before last election, just keeps on giving.
Fortran had (has?) calculated goto. Not goto pointerVar, goto intVar where intVar contains _LINE_NUMBER_.
I've seen it used. Integer NextIter. Then you use the middle bits of that Int as binary option flags. At least that's what you do if you have an applied math PhD and a case of cranial rectosis...
On point: You're not supposed to deserialize from untrusted sources, in any language. Might as well execute SQL right from a web form.
Deserialization is a risk, it's a risk in every language.
Are Java coders just letting users browse for object in the file system? Accepting objects in web form inputs or unvalidated webmethod parameters? Turning around and running those objects as root?
The problem isn't Java per se...it's coders who only know one language. They really do need a language that 'bubble wraps' the OS. But at some point, they have to get things done.
Cube farm gas wars: KimChi, hard boiled eggs and cheap beer. The next day was 'Czar bomba'. Called it off, after that, innocents in the crossfire.
That office could have used some more diversity. One hot chick on the floor would have prevented the whole war from starting. But let's face facts, no office will ever have enough hot chicks.
Everybody needs to be reminded: In the USA, citizens and business lose three times as much stuff to cop theft (aka civil forfeiture) vs burglaries.
Further reminder: In the USA, many cases of shoplifting are counted as 'burglary', inflating that number a shitload. And the other side is only the open, offical cop theft, double it, at least, for 'informal cop theft'.
If cops want to know what happened to their respect? They did it to themselves, became the largest, best organized national theft gang.
I do give Uber a little credit for actual innovation. Buy staying private for so long, they have apparently been able to financially sodomize the VCs. Can't happen to a more deserving group.

Stupid laws are exactly how disrespect for law spreads.
That ship has sailed.
Devil is in the details.

We need to maintain the stalemate. The bad outcome of that war is either side winning.
How much do you have to lose?
Doesn't sound like you have much of a clue. The worse the pipes, the _lower_ the cost will be for initial improvements. Granting, the finding the later, smaller leaks will suck.
Acre-feet for the win.
Do you know what an Oracle DBA makes vs other database DBAs?
That's a pretty penny for a glorified backup monkey. (which is all many DBAs are, not all, but many.)

They are, but think Heroin dealer...sure a few will slip the hook, but the rest are just resources to be milked until they die.
Oracle stopped using lube during their yearly marketing visits with management, read the fine summary. Management is looking for a safe escape.

Are you talking about the callers or the cops? Seriously, _everything_ you wrote is equally true for both.

Dodge the issue...that's fine. You had a choice, you choose to live where life is better.
Supreme court disagrees with you and will continue to disagree with you for your lifetime.
They can speak, with the printing presses available at the time the constitution was written.

By then it would be too late to acquire the gunfu to use them effectively. Great shots start practicing well before puberty.
Get them now, they're cheap, and it pisses off the morons.
