@amritwt So imagine no accidental command ran and some h/w failure or disk corruption or anything to be honest, what was the planned recovery? if this was true the person running the delete is not really at fault entirely, its not production if it has no DR, HA or backups...

Junior engineer accidentally deletes a production server How does one even recover from this?

@thatjeffsmith How resource intensive is SQL*dev vs VSCode plugin, historically on low memory servers SQL*dev can be a sizeable memory footprint is it equivilent or more efficient or worse?

@eloffd 100kg bench is the goal of many at gym, good 1 rep weight, was my max but just lift light now, once you get an injury from heavy lifting or wrong technique its not great and takes ages to recover.

New one rep max. I know it’s not much compared to others, but I’m not competing with them, I’m competing with me. And winning. Slowly.

@oraclebase Its set a precedent on prem will be non strategic, also as Oracle make there engineered systems offering available on other clouds it will reduce the managed cloud oracle offerings appeal. If Free version can make it to on prem really why can full version makes you wonder.

Oracle AI Database 26ai Released oracle-base.com/blog/2025/10/1…

@BellaWallerstei It’s a shame as there is more to working than the financial reward, though equally with AI and automation will this be the norm in say 10 to 20 years, how will the system work then.

Nearly half a million under-30s are now on incapacity benefits, up 50,000 in a year and double in just four years. A huge waste of human potential. Britain’s welfare system is broken and rewarding idleness instead of work

That time a man came back to thank judge Frank for saving his life when he was 18. A quite touching scene

@ChShersh Just ask in AI for bugs regarding these, they have had bugs over time and platforms….

Isn’t it amazing that fundamental Unix tools like ls, head, tail, grep, xargs and others were written in C like 40 years ago and they still run the world without bugs

@IFLTV @joeboxerparker @usykaa @Lawrence_tko @MartinBakole01 @Filip_Hrgovic Maybe but they are all durable opponents with decent chins

@IFLTV @joeboxerparker @usykaa @Lawrence_tko @MartinBakole01 @Filip_Hrgovic Wardley would be a battle, miller or Chisora, Zhang for a pre test to championship level

🥊 @JoeBoxerParker 🥊 @Usykaa 🥊 @Lawrence_tko 🥊 Agit Kabayel 🥊 @MartinBakole01 🥊 @Filip_Hrgovic ❓ Other Who do you want to see Moses Itauma fight next? 🤔 #ItaumaWhyte | #MosesItauma | #HeavyweightBoxing | #BoxingHype

@TalkTV RIP, use to listen to you and Ash back in the day many years ago.

We are sad to announce that James Whale MBE died earlier today aged 74, following a lengthy battle with cancer. As a broadcasting legend for over 50-years, James will be missed by so many at TALK and the wider News UK family.

Before AWS existed, one company ran the servers for Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook's entire app ecosystem. They owned Node.js, invented containers 8 years before Docker, and Peter Thiel even backed them. Then something happened...

@BellaWallerstei I do agree but also see flip side of a parent(s) and people that will never be able to afford private sector services. Is it fair I work hard and get punished with higher taxes or is it fair how ever hard I work I can't afford the private sector, we need a happy medium.

In Germany, if you send your children to private school, you can claim 30% of the tuition fees, capped at €5,000 per annum, per child as a tax deduction. Meanwhile Britain has become a country which punishes people for going private

@oraclebase Why version has so many digits, will google later!

First install of 23ai Free (23.9) complete. 😀

@samlambert Surely number 1 priority is recoverability any thing else is second I dont consider uptime to be the same, could argue security as 1 or 2 as well.

if you are a database company and your main priorities aren’t performance and uptime then what is going on? clearly there’s been to much hype and vibes.

@oraclebase For years everyone was a DBA, now a shift to where everyone is a developer. TBH not a bad thing me as a Dba can knock up code super fast with AI and it is good quality and can ask for refinement even sent to different AI models until happy. I like it and it can be prod ready code

@SumitM_X Not true for all db engines believe sqlserver can rollback from a truncate, Oracle also has many features that negate these risks. Answer is know your db engine and what its licensed to do and what its been setup to do.

Be careful with your DELETE, TRUNCATE, or DROP DELETE: row-by-row, can rollback TRUNCATE: fast, can’t rollback DROP: removes table itself Use DELETE for selective cleanup, TRUNCATE for reset.

@SumitM_X interesting or maybe not :) , SQL standards as we know say they will differ, but some db engines like sqlserver we can use ANSI_NULLS is set to OFF , then = NULL and IS NULL will behave the same way.

SELECT * FROM users WHERE salary = NULL; SELECT * FROM users WHERE salary IS NULL; Are both these queries same?

@iamrichmoore @anthonyboutall @julianHjessop Grammar Schools? Ofsted Outstanding schools? Faith Schools? Expensive Tutors?

@anthonyboutall @julianHjessop I find it interesting there’s no obvious “premium economy” version of private schools. At least around our way. They’re all busy trying to out do each other with even bigger and better sports facilities.

@geekgoddess2024 Pick one cloud vendor maybe Azure get certified, have your CV on point with what you have delivered as a PM, ask for shoutouts on linkedin from people you have worked with how good you are. Wary of agency IMO and apply direct to companies. Practice interviews with someone.

I am 47 years old with 19 years experience in IT and I am unemployed. I have never felt so down and out in my life.. The IT market has flat lined, and I have never felt so worried about my future in my life.. This has taken place under this Labour Government. I will never forgive
