I've been working with Oracle databases for a couple of decades now.
"rock solid" is an extremely good description of them.
They're fucking expensive and some of the configuration is a royal pain in the arse but they work, they work well and they keep working.
I wouldn't recommend anybody starting a business to actually use one, but that's completely and entirely due to cost and Oracle's business practices, and fuck all to do with the underlying technology.
As an autistic cunt I fully acknowledge that this does not excuse bad behaviour.
Unfortunately for you it does however fully excuse bad behaviour of which I am incapable of realising is bad behaviour and it's perfectly reasonable to ask others to stop imposing their neurotypical norms on me.
Even more unfortunately for you, you're not autistic. Just a cunt.
Check Exhibit B in the Damore et al class action suit against Google. Pages 8, 9, 18 explicitly don't want diversity of ideas. Many other pages include people attacking others because of a perception of their views.
Depends, are we discussing the religion or the race?
Religiously we can cover the insanity of believing in mythical sky fairies, the inherent racism in its approach to marriage, the extent to which it excludes others and creates self-supporting networks whose use of in-group advantages leads to jealousy and hatred.
Racially we can explore the observed and measured intellectual variation from other populations and also the use of religion to racially exclude and diminish others.
Or we could acknowledge that almost all Jewish people are behaviourally at worse no worse than anybody else, frequently better and work hard to achieve the successes that they do.
a couple of mildly annoyed tweets, mostly concerned that there isn't a real CoC and tha this might undermine the SQLite project
There is a real CoC. It seems very comprehensive but also very understanding and tolerant. Admittedly were I to wish to contribute to development I'd be seeking an explicit confirmation that I can skip the religious bits but the rest seems to cover the bases.
What's wrong with it and why the fuck would it undermine the project?
Luckily there's no such thing as reverse racism or reverse sexism, so if someone is openly anti-male, anti-asian or anti-white then you can criticise their racism and sexism without fear of falling foul of the CoC.
Whether the costs are higher than the contribution the UK makes to those EU institutions is the more interesting question, but also to me irrelevant: I'd rather pay more and not be part of the EU superstate.
Britain's health care system? No safety valves in foreign workers
Given the number of non-EU foreigners working for the NHS you're just fear mongering.
But that's common to pretty much everyone that voted 'remain'. They're all just fucking scared.
Russia lost 24 million people because they used their soldiers as cannon fodder. Literally.
Right now Putin is desperately trying to pretend Russia has global significance while acting like a tinpot dictator of some shitty African or South American state.
Actually, I take that back. They wouldn't pose for homoerotic calendars. Putin appears to like the boys fancying him.
Where does it state that the constitution only applies to citizens?
I'm in the US later this year, you'd better fucking believe I will be relying on constitutional protections.
If they don't apply then neither do the obligations. You really want it to be legal for me to enslave Americans because I'm not bound by the constitution?
NI is occupied territory and is not part of UK willingly
Bullshit. NI chooses to be part of the United Kingdom.
significant force has had to be used
Translation: About the same amount of force that the Chicago police use at the weekend.
The army were sent in to help assure that all citizens - even those that do want to live in Ireland and not Northern Ireland - are equally secure and protected under the law.
Even scottish people do not really want to be there
If only there was a way to let them formally choose as a nation whether to leave the union. We could call it a referendum.
Sorry, breaking news: it happened 4 years ago. The Scottish people revealed that on balance they do really want to be there.
"Democracy is a tyranny of (infinitesimally larger, in cases) majority over minority"
I believe Winston (bless his racist little soul) said it best:
it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
I wont claim that British democracy lacks flaws, but it's a fuck of a lot better than letting a minority exert tyranny over a majority.
Yeah. Add the Google Play store, because that's fucking useful, and if it makes the device cheaper than sure, include Google Search and Chrome.
Hell, I'll even leave Chrome installed. It's useful for the rare sites my better browser doesn't like. I run three browsers on desktop for similar reasons.
But let me uninstall Search, let me uninstall Google Now and for fucks sake let me uninstall that shitty Facebook app without rooting my phone.
I'd rather pull one very well paid 40-50 hour a week job (nominally 37 but hey, I enjoy it) and use the rest of the time pursuing personal creative outlets that just don't pay well.
I'm a good photographer but I'd have to be a world famous and great one to earn more than I do in my day job. I'm a good author but the market is saturated and my books struggle to cover the cost of the ISBN. I'm a good dancer but professional gigs are for young fit aesthetically pleasing dancers that are much better than I'll ever be.
Plenty of creativity, but the day job is also creative and pays far far better.
Slashdot Mirror
$30m/year could go just on Oracle Financials at their scale, let alone the database.
the licensing scheme tends to influence architectural decisions
Beautifully articulated.
Stick a couple of racks of fully licensed Exadata appliances into your data centre and you've got a seriously powerful database.
Fuck around for eight months first with design and you've got an adequate one for a tenth of the price - and still using Oracle.
They really do make it too hard to use the best of their technology, and by hard, I mean fiscally irresponsible.

reverting to threats
I've just reviewed his posts for the last months and there isn't a threat in any of them.
There isn't even a personal attack. I wish I could retain such self control. He is indeed
the bigger person
Check Exhibit B in the Damore et al class action suit against Google. Pages 8, 9, 18 explicitly don't want diversity of ideas. Many other pages include people attacking others because of a perception of their views.
But hey, that's just one source.
I've noticed that my digital cameras struggle to capture texture and definition when photographing people with dark skin too.
Of course, my cameras were designed by people in Japan so good fucking luck to any idiots that want to blame this on white people.
It's almost as though there's more light coming from lighter objects with which to create an image.
"don't call me [a woman] 'honey'" are politcal correctness
Well for a start, demanding gender based difference in treatment isn't PC, it's sexism. But you keep going.
Curious. Who is this 'us'?
He makes himself look like an idiot but that's on him, nobody else.

Which is what I'd do with white people too.
I love chastity. I also love members of the opposite sex. Sometimes all this love causes internal conflicts but I remain strong and I get through it.
Then I return to loving chastity.

Yeah, I was 35 before I learned that the correct answer to "How are you?" is "I'm ok thanks, how are you?"
Incidentally the correct answer to "How do you do" is "How do you do". No, I don't know why.

Ah, the irony.

If the hand that feeds you is also the hand that abuses you, I wouldn't be surprised if you did some biting.
Surely the better answer would be to just remove his cat and find it a home in which someone will feed it without abuse.
After Britain leaves the EU that latter requirement would no longer be in effect.
It will continue to be effect until/unless a new law is passed that removes it.
Not that I trust the current Government to obey the current law, let alone enact a new one allowing state sanctioned murder.

However, the relevant legal jurisdiction is England and Wales, not Scotland or NI.
It's considered acceptable to omit Wales, especially if you don't want to have to repeat yourself in an unspellable language.
GDPR has only a couple of onerous clauses in it, and is thus well worth the cost.
Unbridled exploitation of private data also has societal costs.

many of the things hit US companies the hardest
Maybe that's because the EU companies have a business model that conforms to EU law, while US companies try and pretend they don't have to.
