He doesn't make a fool of himself. The fact that you're repeating it over and over doesn't make it true.
In those 100 days you're vomitting on, he's already put in motion many things that benefit America, such as walking away from the TPP. Just that, right there, will help the American economy more than 8 years of Obama.
What the country needs is not diversity programs and federal laws about islamophobia and more dabbling into foreign policy that so far has led to the creation of ISIS, Al Qaeda and the religious government in Tehran (among others). What the country needs is jobs and highways that don't fall apart; so why don't you precious ones stop getting your panties in a bunch because you lost your elections and help the rest of us make America great again?
This poll has the same bias as the ones that made all the mainstream medias look like idiots on election night. People tell the poller what they think they want to hear. If everything people hear on TV and read in the newspaper is "Trump and his tweets", they're not going to defend him when they get polled about it, no matter what they think.
All you can tell from these results is what people answered, not what they think.
If you're saying that a DBA "architects" payroll, billing/payables and ordering systems, then either you work for your mom's used furniture store, or you're completely full of shit. All major enterprise software packages come with very specific requirements for the database layer; the only "architecting" a DBA would do in that context is pointing at one of the 2 supported database products, then tell the SAN guy how big the LUN has to be - and usually the company will bring in someone else to do that.
As for money: the Oracle DBA team at work got outsourced following the advice of our trusted European slavers (one of the "Big Four"). There's been basically no difference for the business except saving money, because the handful of applications that still require Oracle all come with the vendor's own guidelines and maintenance/tuning instructions and even the Budapest and Bangalore lowest bidders can run plsql scripts and sit in front of Oracle Management Cloud, and they do it for less money than a shift supervisor at McDonalds; we only see one or two of them who act as "team leads". And those databases are for support functions anyways, such as the ones you mention (payroll, etc) which themselves are in the process of being outsourced to various SaaS and third-party services.Those that can't are migrated to SQL Server on AWS RDS, where it's also a low-cost engineer that does the DBA work; it's included in the price tag.
All the value-added software created by the company for its core business runs on modern databases, such as MongoDB or Accumulo. Since most apps were using Hibernate or some kind of ORM, the dev teams basically just got rid of the middleman. Not having to force an object model in the rigid structure of antiquated data storage technologies (i.e. Oracle RDBMS) allows the developers to focus on features that bring value to the organization, instead of spending their time begging DBAs to "update statistics" or "add indexes" because Oracle is slow as a pack of crippled donkeys.
If you're truly a DBA, you probably have another 3-5 years to milk your clueless employer before they figure out how useless you are. All the market trends published over the last few years clearly indicate that the RDBMS are becoming obsolete and that Oracle is losing its share of that dwindling market. Your boss (and/or mom) is bound to stumble upon one of those studies sooner than later.
I dual boot Windows 10 on that same machine for work. There is no difference in font scaling or otherwise.
Fedora is one of the easiest distros to run on modern hardware, probably because they ship with a bleeding-edge kernel. If you can't get it to work, the problem is not the laptop nor Fedora.
I use Fedora and it works perfectly well with HiDPI. Had for a long time. The only thing that doesn't work well with it is LibreOffice, but of course a lot of things don't work well when it comes to LibreOffice.
We're handcuffed when it comes to phones. How did that happen. How did things become so sketchy and crooked with that specific segment of the tech industry. Why do we accept that.
Apple is a bunch of fuckers, no doubt about it, but this scam is probably somewhat similar with Android vendors.
Dude nobody in finance reads the WSJ. Everyone follows Bloomberg.
The WSJ is for people who think it's a relevant source of information because it has "Wall Street" in the name. They're the same people who think that "Vitamin water" is healthier than a can of Coke.
Remember the "Muslims from these countries can't come into the USA" that was smacked down by judges multiple times? I'd call those all 'attacks on freedom.'
Entering the country is not a right, it's a privilege. If you don't see the difference, you're a perfect example of bias by ignorance.
And the executive order was for a temporary ban while national security could review the situation. Given the high number of terrorist attacks in the last few months in Europe, I would have assumed that anyone could tell that being careful with who you let enter your country is a good idea, but apparently hating Trump is higher in your priorities than not having your children massacred by terrorists.
I've worked with both for the better part of 20 years, and until recently the only reason I saw to choose Oracle over SQL Server would have been the O/S. But see, now SQL Server runs on Linux, so Oracle is basically obsolete, like Informix or Image. As for scaling, you probably missed that boat too but now there's new kids on the block for massive scale and Oracle is not on the radar. Even SQL Server powers more large scale websites (ex: Best Buy).
Oracle is not just obscenely expensive and feature-poor compared to the competition; it's also clunky and capricious. Just the fact that the query optimizer can lead to a SELECT COUNT query returning 2 different results on the same data set says it all. Just google "oracle same query different results" and you'll see countless examples; usually the "culprit" is using the parallel hint or having a date in the where clause, which apparently fools Oracle when it comes to deterministic vs non-deterministic hints. Of course usually there's some Oracle buffoon explaining that the problem is the user who wrote a "poor" query, but guess what, that's a behavior you'll never see even on MySQL or MS-Access.
Call it the 8th wonder of the world if you want, but if adding query hints makes a SELECT COUNT(*) return different results on a same data set, I call it a fucking piece of shit.
And it doesn't end with the database engine. The whole stack is garbage, starting with the OCI. Let's say you have a big Oracle database and you want to query it from Python using the marvelous cx_Oracle. Guess what: if there's CLOBs or BLOBs in the table, you can't use server-side cursors; you have to bring the whole fucking table in your Python app and deal with it. Meanwhile, this kind of thing works like a charm on Postgresql or SQL Server using 5 or 10 years old Python libraries; you can fetch whatever number of records you want at a time, no matter the data type.
My guess is that you're an Oracle DBA who pays his bills by "maintaining" Oracle databases. Good for you. But anyone who has to *use* one will tell you without a doubt what a slow, unreliable piece of garbage that database is.
The "Trump regime" so far has yet to cause the chaos and mayhem predicted by the Clintonazis; the only attacks on freedom and democracy since the election have come from the disgruntled liberals rioting because they lost.
You can keep spinning current events with the dishonest lens of Trump bashing, it no longer work. Everyone can see that he is so far a better President than Obama.
i've never been a big fan of Samsung, always liked the Nexus or Moto better. But I bought a Tab S2 a few months ago and it's an amazing device, so I also bought a Samsung S8 phone recently and this is truly a masterpiece. I use the Google keyboard instead of the Samsung one, but apart from that all the built-in apps are top notch. The display is terrific and battery life is great (2 days).
I've used an iPhone for work and I owned several iPod Touch; I also owned an iPad Mini 4. And I don't miss those; they're not even in the same league as those Samsung devices.
The magic is not just in the performance, it's in the details. Such as creating a "safe zone" with the GPS where the phone never locks, or having that superb always-on display, or the iris scan unlock. They really think about making things convenient for the user, something Apple has lost touch with a long time ago as they switched their focus on milking their shrinking user base.
Remember when the CIA planted logic flaws in some pipeline management software because they knew the Soviets would steal it? This led to the gigantic explosion of a Siberian pipeline:
The big deal is how the apple apologists will spin this as we all have been told for years apple doesn't need a file manager.
They're good at dealing with cognitive dissonance.
If you remember, the fanbois used to make fun of the big screens on the Samsung phones, saying that the iPhone was the "right" size. Then the big iPhone 6 came out and suddenly big screens were cool.
It reminds me of that exciting new feature in Oracle 12c (provided that you pay for an extra license): having multiple databases per Oracle instance. And, believe it or not, you can even attach/detach them!
Of course that feature was already available in SQL Server before it got acquired by Microsoft in 1993, but when Oracle "invented" it in 2013 it became The First Database Designed for the Cloud.
Hopefully History will disregard the hype and remember both of those companies (Oracle and Apple) as what they truly are: marketing companies that also happen to do below-average tech products.
I just got through Son's of Anarchy and they quit making those 3 years ago. Next will be another walking dead "season", another GOT, another whatever...
What about Midsomer Murders? 19 seasons already. A total of 114 episodes of +90 minutes. If you start now, you can be done in a mere week, provided that you watch it 24h a day. Or you coud spend that week watching 12 seasons of Supernatural (264 episodes).
Or if you prefer old school soaps, why not start General Hospital? 13,768 episodes and counting. That's 10 years of medical drama, full time, and even given the "sparse" plot, it's probably better than Steve Harvey Boringdome.
The ENQUIRER also discovered the “Little Big Shots” host, 60, is so terrified his depraved split personality will be exposed that he’s degenerated into a recluse, surrounding himself with 'round-the-clock armed security — that costs a whopping $25,000 a month!

I'm pretty sure that if Clinton had been elected but Trump had won the popular vote by 3 millions you wouldn't be talking about it.
I suggest you go watch some videos of antifa, berkeley censorship riots, or the evergreen college fiasco.
Those people are not angry. They're just trying to get their own viral video. It's best to just ignore them.

Whatever it is you do, you are not a DBA.
