The MS Family stuff has all been broken through the app for me for the past 2-3 months - I get the notifications, get the buttons to approve, and click works, everything seems normal - but nothing ever happens on the Xbox end. I just gave up on it.

Maybe Knex.js, or Bookshelf.js (ORM) if you need more?

These takeovers are often just a case of finding stale DNS entries that are pointed at resources which can be re-allocated by third parties, i.e. elastic IP addresses on AWS. So it's very likely that the person had legit access to that IP, not their fault MS pointed a DNS entry at it when they did not control it.

You can use Svelte completely separate from SvelteKit - we've been using it for a while now and integrating with our pre-existing APIs with no issues, some of those are serverless, and some are just instances behind a load balancer.

Have you looked at Svelte? We've been migrating over to it from Redux/React, and it's so far been a great experience. It's greatly simplified a lot of our code, and eliminated a whole lot of redux/state boilerplate.

Easy to say when you're not the one being held hostage, unable to sleep for days on end.

Not all portions of VS are maintained to the same degree - their BI tools were horrible for years, and there was not much in the way of alternatives. I'd often spend more time fixing/triaging the IDE issues than I would my own code/projects. And when you then start to add multiple versions of VS into the mix (this was required for the BI projects + newest SQL Server database projects) it gets even worse.

I personally am just looking for a stable tool to build and test images. I can appreciate that Docker is looking for a way to become sustainable, but the way they are going about doing it has become disruptive to how I use the tool, thus alternatives like podman are becoming much more attractive.

The license fee is really not an issue for me - but continuously having to adjust my workflows when Docker Inc decides to change how things work on the back-end is an issue, and it's much more expensive for me than the license.

EKS has actually come a long way in the last couple of years. They now have 'eksctl' that helps a lot with provisioning/de-provisioning the node pools. They're also pretty up to date with supporting new versions of k8s (1.21.2 now, I think). I definitely know what you mean about the 'minimum viable product' and their overall views on k8s though, as our account rep definitely tried to steer us away from EKS when we ran into problems with CronJob. They also don't seem to have any particular relationship with k8s development, so we ended up not able to use CronJob for more than six months while our issue (with k8s repo) just sat waiting for someone to look at it.

I've been using rebass lately and finding it quite nice - not sure how it compares with anything angular/sails based though.

Most recentlyv they generate a token on startup, which you need to interact with anything. It's fairly seamless on a client computer as the browser that is launched will get that token added automatically.

I'm not so sure, I think go still has a ways to 'go':

...or maybe we're reading a bit more into the data than what is really there?

And your go jobs to 'go' along with the data:

Using pandas you can do a lot of that with a query and a connection, dumping to CSV/Excel/JSON etc is pretty trivial once you have your data in a dataframe. It also supports writing data back to tables via SQLAlchemy as well, and any kind of data manipulation you can imagine in between. I'm currently using it to migrate a Mongo database to PostgreSQL.

I've found that a lot of the time Coursera is just making it difficult to register for free for courses, but if you find the right page it's still an option. Go to the specific page for the course, not any collection that it may be in, and when you click 'enroll' look for the tiny 'audit' link.

Of course it works fine with XP, that was the target specs in 2001 when that OS was released. Maybe try a Linux distribution from 2001 and you'd have a fair comparison.

I personally just found the C# syntax more straightforward than VB.NET, C# was new and VB seemed to have a bit of baggage. I never had much in the way of problems, even as a beginner, translating from VB.NET to C# examples though.

I found that with the SC the aiming for games just isn't there. I miss the right analog stick too much, and despite trying I couldn't get anywhere near the accuracy with the SC as I could from a normal XBox 360, or XBox One controller. For games like FPS I just haven't found that the SC is workable.

It based on functionality that all exists in the traditional on-prem SQL Server as well - certainly not the e-mail and point a click creation, but you can definitely query SQL Server DMV's for missing index information[1].

As with any suggested indexes though, they have to be weighed against their effect on other workloads. Additional indexes can have a big impact on inserts / updates / deletes.

[1] https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/bartd/2007/07/19/are-you-us...

The SQL Server Database Tuning Adviser will happily create all the indexes, stats, and what not, for a given workload. And yeah, you can speed up your queries (the workload) as a result. The problem is that there's always a trade off - those queries may now be fast, but inserts and updates end up being slow due to the burden of index maintenance.

There's also maintenance views that can be queried to see if SQL Server is detecting any missing indexes, or if there's any indexes that are not being used - but again these have to be taken with a grain of salt, as the stats get reset each time those indexes are rebuilt.

> Did they build the right indexes? Well... the DB doesn't know.

The DB does in fact know - looking at the query plan for a given query will outline if there are any obvious missing indexes - but having the DB go ahead and build indexes by default for every given query is dangerous. When you go through 10 iterations of an ad-hoc query refining it down to what you actually want, how's the DB to know that the first 9 don't count? Etc..

> You should say "I want to run these queries, and I have this much memory for you" and it should know how to get your results as fast as possible.

That is in essence what the query optimizer attempts to do, though it has breaking points where it will settle for 'good enough' because optimization of the query itself becomes too expensive. Sometimes people just write bad queries.

I'm also a fan of Linux Mint, but prefer the KDE edition - I used to dislike KDE, but with plasma 5.6+ it's become quite polished and nice to use. I've also found LM to be much more stable than other KDE based desktop distro's, specifically KUbuntu and Neon (both of which were quite crashy).

I believe it's based upon hyper-v, which typically precludes using other VM software on the same machine. Docker toolbox for Windows 10 has the same issues.

There are plenty of good games out there that don't go the IAP route, but they're pretty rare on mobile platforms - this is one of the major reasons I prefer PC gaming.

I've even had games that I purchased (Galaxy on Fire 2) that didn't have IAP go 'free to play' and add IAP after the fact, making my fully purchased version now loaded up with advertisements.

I simply don't purchase or play games on mobile platforms anymore, and neither do my children.

Firefox has it's issues as well, which they also 'refuse' to fix. For instance, much of the browser falls apart when using remote desktop (RDP) sessions - it can even break remote desktop sessions as a whole in some instances, if Firefox is left open. I got bitten by it enough times that I simply won't use it any more - and Chrome does not have these issues (though it is certainly far from perfect).

It's a web log analysis tool, not a general data viz platform. This may be more what you're looking for though: http://www.cyclotron.io

It works just fine with piped input actually, I use it regularly with zcat.

There are other options for in-memory datastores on Linux though, such as Redis.

It's been my finding that experienced MS SQL developers tend to hire out at a much greater cost than experienced MySQL developers... MS SQL Standard also starts at $3,700+ USD per core (and a minimum purchase of 4 core license, I believe), with a yearly SA fee on top of that. You could use Express, but it's missing many features - SQL Agent for instance.

It's not usually that simple with profiler, as production queries can be highly contextual and aren't always 'replayable' unless they're interacting on the same data as the original. It can also be pretty high impact on a busy system.

Agent is nice because of the surrounding infrastructure -scheduling, notifications, etc - that said, it still often ends up being a hodgepodge that every admin reinvents, just using different underlying structures (cron=scheduling, system mail=notifications, etc).

And yeah, the HA stuff is good - with the setup becoming gradually easier with each new version, but those license costs are definitely reflecting that.

While SQL Server does have some great features - it's also missing a fair bit of functionality. I.e., there's no real 'overview' of how the system is performing. Look at SQLSentry for an idea of what I mean - I only manage one 'major' database, but without that tool I'd be hard pressed to keep up. There's also things that have been broken for years now which they've failed to address - i.e., one of the most popular add-ons for SQL Studio is SQL Prompt to get actual working intellisense. They can manage it for multiple extensible languages in visual studio, but flub it for years with the fairly static TSQL. I actually thought it must have been a fairly complex problem until I saw JetBrains implement it for multiple variations of SQL in DataGrip.

DataGrip is fantastic for both SQL Server and PG (and MySQL, SQLite, etc). They even get intellisense right for multiple platforms...

While that may be true in the definition of a relational database, that is not generally what is meant by an ORM. The relationships between objects are a key part of what an ORM would provide.
