Re:SQL vs. NoSQL Is the Wrong Distinction on Wednesday August 25, 2021 @05:04AM (#28299398)
There is also N1QL (https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/getting-started/tr...) that lets you query JSON documents while using familiar SQL commands. It also supports ACID transactions (https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/n1ql/n1ql-language...) (disclaimer: I work for Couchbase, the creator of N1QL)
Re:Migrating a 40TB SQL Server Database on Thursday July 30, 2020 @12:57PM (#24000423)
I found this article useful, mostly for people who don't have similar experience dealing with large databases. It gives so many reasons on why following this path is such a bad idea. Please people, stop writing custom scripts and then run them untested on the production db. If the company doesn't pay to give you enough disk space to take a proper backup to test just quit or buy it yourself. It will save you 11 months and many hours of sleep.

Re:An ode to Apple’s awful MacBook keyboard on Monday September 03, 2018 @10:49AM (#17902854)
ok here's one thing almost no one mentions and is hard for me to understand: i do almost all of my development work on my desk, where i have an external keyboard of my liking connected to my macbook. i only use the macbook's keyboard when i'm travelling, and mostly for typing the first 2 letters of the website i want to open on my browser. don't understand why people fuss about so much about the keyboard: if you don't like it just use an external one. what am i missing?

Re:NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Competition on Tuesday July 31, 2018 @10:19AM (#17653322)
probably unrelated but anyone here knows any resources for 3d printed houses here on earth? specifically in europe. i know of https://www.iconbuild.com/home for US market
i do that. the watching is not passive, you can discusss with the streamer and affect his actions or get explanations on a specific question. i use it to get better at go game.
it's also cheap so..
just move to sales / marketing. then you'll be the one making unrealistic promises that noone blames you for when they don't get realised
i'm a developer and the keyboard is fine

As a patient, i feel that there is a need for the doctors themselves to acknowledge that there is a need to measure their performance and give a way to us patients to take informed decisions. That would be step n.1. once we have established this need we can look on the how this can be done.

tlds: they used the side-channel leakage together with rowhammer to flip bits in ssh public keys in memory from authorized_keys to convert them so they could factor them, generate a new private key and eventually log in. also, sources.list and the system gpg-keychain to point the system to a malicious repo and install a backdoored /bin/ls
