I am with you. Been messing with tools my entire life...have tried ratcheting screwdrivers of several kinds...Hard no. If I do lots of screws, I use a drill or impact driver. Or, failing that a nice 1/4 or 3/8 ratchet…
I recall this fondly when it came out. I had a few racks of Sun servers at that time...and anyone I showed the video too were convinced it was bullshit. April Fools anyone? However, Brendan and Bryan know their…

I don't really doubt the numbers...in fact, I thought them a bit low. My feeling is that this will really change the automotive landscape for the overall lifecycle of a car. Seems to me that the dealership currently…
Canada,ditto.
I am surprised I had to scroll this far to find a dBase reference. I am the same vintage as OP, and yeah... back in the day dBase was the key to riches...at least as a contract dev. I remember spending A Lot of Money on…
Shelves and shelves of tidy orange binders. I had them too!
I am also old. And tend to agree with you on this.
Interesting. It was never an issue for us, as we were close to the CC servers. Some folks were not, so they ran their dev/build locally ("network close" to th CC servers) and VNC'd in from their actual location. In that…
I wish I could answer this. I have always had a penchant for any robust versioning system. Even the simple ones (CVS and the like) were amazeballs to me at the time. 20 odd years ago I spent a lot of time with ClearCase…
The compressor doesn't move any air inside the refrigerator. There is a separate fan in the freezer compartment that does that.
Thanks. Scar tissue sometimes breeds insight. In further conversation on this phenomenon, I would argue that "long lived databases" are not so as result of brilliant design. Rather, it happens because the database…
If I publish a stored proc as an API, it leaves me free (within reason) to alter the actual SQL supporting it. Like modern API design, as long as you don't remove functionality, then change it as required.
I would be having words with the DBA about this. If there is a DBA. No DBA I would hire would allow this silliness. At least not in the actual application schema.
Ok, story time. Worked on a near-real-time system that processed millions of rows an hour. Devs routinely did a "select " and pulled 100K rows into an array on a local client. And they sorted it there*. The DBAs never…
This is going on my wall. Thanks so much.
I think they are wonderful (from the Codd and Date days...) but mostly everyone else disagrees.
>protect the DB I share this sentiment. The apps will come and go, the real value is in the data. If the database can cover its ass, I am less concerned about ham-fisted developers randomly messing it up with…
Are you me? LOL

This article is informative. I have found that databases in general tend to be less sexy than the front-end apps...especially with the recent cohort of devs. As an old bastard, I would pass on one thing: Realize that…
Love this analogy. As a Canadian...we have the same monarch, but our own Constitution / elected officials. So...we are ourselves in the sudoers file...but surely we are different under this analogy than our UK brethren?…
I think 1/100th is generous!
Well isn't that great! Have to look at this. Thanks!!
