The whole thing is pegging my BS meter, including letting an L5 deploy without a code and architecture review, TC, and the fact that they’re posting this and claiming they’re still there.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

For a second I thought this was about forcing people to AI interact with the Start Menu.

Oracle came out when most databases were on mainframes and usually came from IBM. For the longest time, they were the only production-ready option if you had a server from the likes of DEC, Sun, or HP. That was, until MSFT came up with SQLServer, and MySQL and Postgres showed up as open-source options.

Then Oracle went into application verticals, like manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, government, etc. These were all complex applications with lots of knobs and levers to tweak, making for long contracts and a lot of professional services. To this day, a lot of their money comes from these sticky apps and long-term contracts.

Whether they were funded by CIA or not, many early software vendors needed government subsidies and contracts to survive. Oracle was also pretty late to the cloud market. They didn’t really jump in until AWS started offering Oracle license “lift and shift” along with migration support to RDS. Before that, all Oracle DBs had to be self-hosted.

This article implies the connection to CIA gives the government access to customer data. In reality, until their cloud offering, all Oracle instances were inside corporate firewalls, with no external access. I’m not a big fan of their software, but this article smells like guilt by early association.

They write some of the best post-mortems out there. No “mistakes were made” nonsense.

We done f-ed up. Here’s how and why, and what we’re doing about it.

Just saw a new outdoor Wyze camera with a motorized head, small solar panel, SD-card, and wifi for around $80. If you figure out the server side, it might be a good hardware foundation.

Other option is a Pi-based camera.The server side would be easier to set up, but you would have to figure out power, enclosure, and weatherproofing.

Solving a non-existent problem. Excellent!

I challenged my family not to say WHAT! when reading that headline. So far, everyone’s failed (including myself).

That is pretty evil.

Without signing attestation (both developer and code) there will be no way to find out who was responsible and stop the propagation. This will happen again.

Edit: there have been attempts like https://docs.npmjs.com/trusted-publishers, but that hasn’t fixed the problem.

Wonder if this is going to turn into people cutting out catalytic converters, or stripping out copper wiring.

It went for a walk in the park and grabbed a coffee, but it doesn’t want to be dinged for it.

Surprise wife hug attack. She won’t see it coming.

Looks like it might support both.

I have several friends in arranged marriages. What they all mention is the importance of shared new experiences. Going to a movie, restaurant, hike, or a trip together. Over time, this creates things they talk about as they get to know each other.

Most of the marriages I’ve seen work, the man also worked against the expected stereotypes. For example, helping with cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing.

Penmanship.
