I'm not going to stop using it because it's not "true open source." I'm going to stop using it because there's better databases out there.

QNX is owned by Blackberry?! Blackberry still exists?
Heh, I read Graphite as the monitoring tool[1] and was very confused for a second what they want with that old thing.
I have such fond memories of Graphite's simplicity. Simply hit the server with a metric and value and BOOM it's on the chart, no dependencies, no fuss.
Don't be bamboozled! This is an amazing time to be alive!
Just expose a way to explore hierarchies and measures, give me an ability to generate "alternate hierarchies" then let me run MDX and leave me alone! ORM and OLAP don't belong in the same sentence together.

Literally saw Obama's BlackBerries a week ago at the Crypto Museum! Great museum, worth going to if you're in the DC area and have access to a car.

No new Zelda, no new Mario. I don't know what Nintendo is doing but I am not a hyped up for the Switch 2 as I thought I'd be.
I was reading an article last week where the author did a bunch of testing and found Redis is only 3-5x faster than just using a multi model NoSQL. Basically it rarely makes sense to use Redis.

"only 3-5x faster... rarely makes sense to use Redis" This is an illogical conclusion. 3-5x faster is substantial!

Short sweet and to the point. Why isn't this a button in the bios, naturally hidden behind a few levels of menus? "Defrag your NVRAM" Other than power failures what would other failure modes be? I guess if the NVRAM has bad cells? Guess it's easier to just reset the whole BIOS whenever there's a problem?
