Yeah, I know using free software isn’t a panacea. Still it would be a step in the right direction, plus I could not refrain from the cheap shot at M$ Windows.
‘in the spirit of open innovation, we’re releasing the source code to MS-DOS 4’ — I should not be surprised. M$ long ago eviscerated ‘innovate’ out of any meaning whatsoever.
This is meaningless. There were no economic gains expected, just avoiding a greater disaster. Given that Swedish economy is fairly integrated with its lockdown neighbours, it would be surprising if there were any economic gains; instead, it is probable its neighbours benefitted from Sweden having avoided lockdown.
Also, the higher death rate is normal and acceptable, in a tradeoff against deaths caused by confinement and the unnecessary prolongation of the epidemic. Herd immunity will arrive earlier, and lockdown-caused deaths will perhaps make Swedes survive more and better.
And vendor lock-in with them. With PostgreSQL, one gets freedom to add your own, also free components, and even to substitute another ISO-compliant DBMS.
Not at all. Because Oracle does not have multiple databases per instance does not equal a PostgreSQL database to an user in Oracle. On the contrary, it means PostgreSQL is way more flexible, because there we have and databases, and users and schemas as ISO meant it.
Greenwald is a criminal. He is paying a former representative in the Brazilian House to give way for his lover; he used a criminal organization to invade several people’s instant messaging accounts, and has been using the messages out of context to try to stop corruption investigations; and he uses his adopted sons as human shields against criticism.
Only this is not a way to select a DBMS. PostgreSQL adds important features much faster than competitors, it is free and much leaner and more flexible.
Echoes of Risc & VLIW: i432AX, i80860, i80960, Itanic… Intel killed its good non-x86 products, coincidentally all grown out of itself: DEC Alpha, the StrongARM. SSD quality is a joke. The Register must be having a field day too.
