He bailed already? Dang, and this edition of the news was assembled with him in mind. Ah well, it will give him more time to spend with Windows 8.

Oracle database shops that have or are planning to download the latest version of 12c take warning: The vendor's newly launched, much-hyped in-memory processing database option is turned on by default, according to one expert. Stockholm syndrome: feelings of trust or affection felt in certain cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim toward a captor.
(It's the only reason I can think people stick with this kind of abuse)

Oracle is the main database in retail banking, insurance, central government and healthcare - basically industries that primarily spend other people's money

Aaaaaaah. Now that is the best explanation of their continued success that I have ever heard. Thank you.

IMO you should've quoted the $23k/processor license bomb that the feature comes with. Reading the blurb I thought it was just that your previously small dev DB's VM would explode to consume your entire VM servers resources.
Speaking of which, does Whoracle still count processors by core instead of by socket?

If you’re in software, configuration files are a significant part of your life. But every configuration file introduces a morass of unknown syntax, unknown semantics, poor debuggability, poor documentation, poor maintainability, insufficient abstraction, and insufficient generalization. Because who needs to update a setting in the field?

If only it was possible to create some sort of magical "Windowed Interactive Setup Assistance Dialog"...

Every line in a config file represents a moment in the development when the developer just wasn't sure which way to go so, we put it in a config file that we can have the end user tweak if there is trouble with the chosen defaults.

Do you have JS disabled? I think Medium might just send down a wad of JavaScript that pulls down the content. Been a while since I looked, and I'm on the wrong machine to double check right now.

The corporate firewall gremlins are trashing the page for me. In FF; I've got naked HTML no js/no CSS. In IE I've got a formatted blank page that's hiding a scroll bar but which still has content if you scroll down.

There are upset people there? I thought they were 24/7 happy with chocolate and fondues (and chocolate fondues).
