In Europe Union (and other countries probably, too), the superior rating is an official classification[1]. The ranking from worst to best looks like this:
I just wait until db0 gets voted out, just for them to ignore it :D
Jokes aside, that’s a very important instrument, which basically even democracies have, but gets abused by the people who have no balls to speak up. So I wonder how well this is going to work here. However, I trust db0 fully and know that their power comes from support and not by abusing the system.
Thanks, db0, for your innovative approach and your dedication for the cause.
If lower class would have more money, the donations would be even higher I suppose. I really hope he gets the best lawyers ever to defend him. Imagine the faces on all CEO‘s and conservative politicians when Luigi walks free. Will this be the initiation of The Purge?
That‘s why I said his mentality leads to consumer friendly decisions. VALVe has been a holacratic since decades and GabeN has no special status. It is only because of his mentality and leadership which infects other employees with the same views. This might change if he passes. Hopefully it does not.
It does. And that’s why I am afraid of that. Operational costs are important as well. I’d rather have those components individually than integrated into a whole ecosystem. This way I can more easily replace components, which is going to be necessary at some point.
Smear campaign with an open source product? Are you sure you still have a working organ between your ears?
That being said, my recommendation is based on using databases in big data environments for 15 years. But I am glad that your home lab is working fine with MariaDB. Does not mean it is a good product. And your comment just proves my point.
While there was a time, where those databases were considered “good”, they are only this famous because they have been free or open source for ages. Professors love open source stuff. This does not necessarily mean it is a good product in terms of database functionality. They have been stuck in the old age and simply get outperformed by almost anything. Professors also hate to change their slides and to learn something new. Because their priority is on functionality, not on real world use. And when you want to use a product in the real world, non-functional properties gain a lot of value. One of them is performance.
If you want to have a fast, reliable, open source database, use ClickHouse.
Oh that’s actually non of my business. You could contact her and ask her how she is doing. Just as an idea where to start.
