That's crazy. But coming from someone who wrote a book on retail fraud and worked as a retail fraud analyst for several years... you could have just walked straight out with those items. Transacting was your way of leaving a calling ca

I don't want to review code the author doesn't understand This really bothers me. I've had people ask me to do some task except they get AI to provide instructions on how to do the task and send me the instructions, rather

No they just read the memory. The whole point of an external cheat is to only read memory. They can still use Win32 to send inputs.

> literally name themselves as "Postgresql Data Warehouse" but correct me if I'm wrong That's not their primary product. Crunchy Postgres is their primary offering and they recently announced Crunchy Data Warehouse.

I consulted on a project that was using MongoDB even though it was obvious from the concept that an RDBMS would be better, however I went in with an open mind and gave MongoDB a red hot crack. It straight up ignored indexes with no explaina

They've had flags and work arounds for ages. Not sure what point you are trying to make? But like you said I've never used it, only heard of it lol.

When you get a chance can you take a look my reply here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43990502 When I first stepped into a DBA role with CockroachDB I was confused why indexes we obviously need were in unused indexe

They've been saying that for 3 years. We actually had a discount for being an early adopter. But hey its obvious Ive never used it and only heard of it.

What are your thoughts on Fujitsu's VCI? I typically work for ERP's but im always advocating to offload the right queries to columnar DB's (not for DB performance but for end user experience).

It is. But wait... it doesn't join the data on the application level of your application. You have to deploy their proxy service which joins the data on the application level.

I'm curious about Motion's experience with "Unused Indices". They suggest Cockroach's dashboard listed used indexes in the "Unused Indices" list. I think the indexes they suspect were used are unused but M

I worked for startup who did all of these things on CockroachDB. We could of used a single m5.xlarge PostgreSQL instance (1000 basic QPS on 150GB of data) if we optimized our queries and went back to basics, instead we had 1TB of RAM dedica

A guy on reddit was working on one named PrismWM but he went AWOL. There was a mac os 9 lookandfeel in JDK 1.1 that could be updated to a modern version of Java as well.

I suspect thats the case, but EoE became a thing for me within months of that ordeal so I suspect there is a connection. My EoE symptoms are difficulty swallowing and esophageal spasms. I have access to oral budesonide which does stop it ho

I used to get acid reflux, it was really noticeable while trying to sleep, but that changed after I drank some water (by accident) from inside a cave of a small island near Vanuatu. This led to the worst throat infection I've ever had,

Clock sync issues also sucked, we had a recurring issue which would cause the cluster to become unstable due to clock syncs and support would throw it in the to hard basket.

I picked up a 7900X3D last week, I wanted the X3D cache for Rust (the game). Since upgrading from a 5900 I have gone from 90ish FPS to 200FPS, no graphics card upgrade just CPU. I've seen some media/youtube reviews that don't

Modern bots use reflection on the client itself, including faking the MouseEvent to the canvas/applet. Some bots use typical autohotkey style automation of just moving the mouse around and using color pickers/opencv to validate ac

Haven’t been laid off but I see it coming in the next few months. I do DBA/performance tuning on MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server (and recently Cockroach). Being remote in Australia makes it hard to get another job so I’m thinking to learn

Funnily enough, Cyberduck (the FTP, SSH, s3 mounting software for Mac/Windows) uses IKVM for their windows release.

I think it depends. I've seen bootcampers who are motivated by being a Software Engineer at FAANG on 500k yet they don't understand why turning off your computer stops programs from running. But I've also met bootcampers who

I hate to imagine how many startups out there don't even create indexes and just consider it to be a database problem and increase CPU/RAM and look the other way. I worked for several years at a semi-startup as a Database Engineer

I feel for the victims of any source code leak, but I am disappointed SQL Server didn't make it into this one. So much could be learned from the source code.
