Thankfully "Cloud to Butt" is now in the chrome web store.

Another release of pro hardware from Apple. Another slew of comments everywhere from laptop peasants who don't understand the pro market, and can barely comprehend the competition.

Not having to attach files for even the slightest change is so much better. I really miss working for a company that uses google apps.

Everything was online and centrally controlled. Jira, Confluence, AWS, Github, MediaWiki (some of these were self-hosted), and google apps.

I have always preferred centralised computing, you can visually see the headaches and frustration drop for IT support technicians when they don't have to deal with minor printer, file, or collaboration issues. The kind of issues that were created by the "PC" in the business environment.

woh woh woh hold on....20k to give birth? I am amazed the US is still breeding.

You are in for a treat! Watch "The Trap" and "All watched over by machines of loving grace", two documentaries also by Adam Curtis.

The obvious choice is procreate! I was a studiopaint die hard, now I only draw in my freetime (which is much better), and settled on mypaint a few years ago.

I don't own a tablet yet. But procreate, Paper, and the various stylus available are now very tempting.

I am just as happy now to watch the ipad market undertake the design market, as OS9 and NT did against IRIX. Watch us do more with more accessible consumer tech.

Transactional DDL is a dangerous game with any DBMS. You must know the idioms of the systems you use, and use them accordingly. You would be a fool otherwise.

Desktop application software for collaborative editing? No way.

Confluence? Twiki? Or equal such centralised documentaiotn and revision service, be it SaaS or locally hosted, Yes.

oh thank fuck, I was getting annoyed that it was me, who was screwing up my homebrew install. For once it's not my fault!

Could have got a previous gen off ebay. Lotsa cores, lotsa ram etc.

It all comes down to cost barrier to entry, it's a shame IBM mainframes are still so damn expensive.

Perhaps if somebody could offer {DB2|Oracle|Informix|Sybase} As A Service, like what many providers do with PostgreSQL and MySQL, it would be a different story for startups.

My profression involves moving MSSQL and Sybase databases to MySQL and MariaDB, then I go and read some of the features from the article in Oracle and DB2 documentation and think to myself "I ain't helping fucking nobody", the higher-ups in enterprise and startups usually only see upfront costs, not long term benefits.

As per your first question; they are getting there. PostgreSQL now has a built-in function for managing materialised views, in MySQL/MariaDB that is still hand-rolled.

MariaDB however does have Virtual Columns and Dynamic columns (to tackle nested tables, as per the article).

Look to MariaDB for the MySQL developments, as Oracle are bringing very little to the table in terms of matching MySQL features to Oracle (not surprising). But they are resolving important security, and infrastructure issues and improving InnoDB heavily.

Also PostgreSQL does have HSTORE, for storing JSON data types, very tasty.

everyday...it's getting closer to a VPS!

Everyone seems to have forgotten where OpenGL came from when they whine about mir. Asshats.

I am very much looking forward to mir.

I went to art school to do Games and Art Design. I dropped out, and 6 years later I am a python/c dev and DBA.

I am so very very very thankful of publications such as the following listed at Stackoverflow:

You are not the intended audience for the Ouya Kickstarter, because you don't want to create content. You only want to consume.

And that's a great shame, that you took a potential developers place in that order queue (the Oculus Rift suffers this same issue), a developer that is having to wait until retail release to get their hands on a platform they want to publish for.

Kickstarter != Amazon.

An audience of consumers, and bedroom-youtube-reviewers with a short attention span are passing (generally) negative judgement on device that was not meant for them.

I agree it's not magic. Most of the good stuff came from companies R&D departments.

I am hoping that if OpenGL becomes the most sensible choice, something else will grow out of it. Or if the reigns were handed over to FSF.

I don't think it's a very good comparision, but javascript is doing great out there in the wild. As is Linux, even with so many chefs.

It's funny because you think technologies that are at the mercy of a company are a good idea.

There was a post here a few weeks ago (some dude dug up some old content of a 3D mesh of a cow in a Java viewer). And the old OpenGL and Java code "just worked".

"... and in their death throes, they gave onto us, technologies to last more than 2 years at a time. Sights and wonders never before seen only told, far outreaching the merciless grasp of the Holder of Shares."

RIP - SGI Vpro.

Yes. Less waste, and in theory users will be given more secure and up to date software experience, which should provide safety and confidence for online shopping, for more tasty taxable purchases.

+1 for environment +1 for Capitalism

EDIT: last +1 for education, and employment. No need to get a new fancy computer to do your homework or write a CV.

I made that comment on a phone. I mostly wish I had not.

it's even more work to edit your package management system to include a set of documents that have nothing to do with the anything released ever before it. I would love to the commit comment.

the only thing any mysql/mariadb news does for me is highlight how the average (and depressingly top voted) hacker news/proggit/slashdot commenter knows fuck all about either of them.

Thanks I will take a look.

What about over heating?

I tried ubuntu 12.04, and 12.10 on a 2011 macbook air 4,2. I followed the information here, some of the tweaks weren't needed on 12.10:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir4-2

But the fans were spinning almost constantly. This was with just firefox and vim usage.

OS X seems to do a better job of running Apple hardware at a sensible temperature.

MariaDB right now has working Multi-Source replication and GTID failover in the MariaDB 10.0.3+ alphas.

They are also working on a new table discovery engine, which will bring Transactional DDL to MariaDB, this to me makes MariaDB far more superior to MySQL. They are innovating, and they are open about it. https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-3808

Oracle have only innovated on the niggles of Mysql, like the unencrypted ~/.my.cnf files to appease their "Enterprise" customers.

With an extra 10+ hours battery life. With every core (CPU+GPU) at 100%.

Heh, sorry couldn't resist. We all know that's totally unrealistic. What I really want is a changeable battery, whoops there I go again!

umm NSFW, if you work at a school.

They are some big boots to fill. I'm just some DBA in London.
