The faster the hardware, the biggest and most numerous the crap in the apps that make that hardware go to the limit anyways.

The co-author of SQL, the standardized query language for relational databases, has come out in support of the NoSQL database movement that seeks to escape the tabular confines of the RDBMS. SELECT * FROM table not enough?
You mean, sometimes all data isn't tabular? :boggle:

NoSQL databases and their query languages could help perform the tasks relational systems were never designed for. Surprise! There are tasks relational systems were never designed for! And for those there are other tools!
Well, that doesn't affect the tasks that relational systems were designed for. SQL is still a as good a choice for those as ever!
(Side tracking a bit: Why don't we have a selection of relational languages with different properties? SQL is far from perfect! For general programming we have scores of languages of quite varying character. We should have alternatives to SQL as well!)

I feel like every time there's a new NoSQL product both Microsoft and Oracle incorporate it into their RDBMS offerings.

The app is developed by a small group of Microsoft engineers based in Asia, and it’s now getting a big update with an improved “Files Cleanup,” which lets you free up space more easily. I'm sure it will delete files as reliably as Windows Update fixes things

I bet it will be really efficient, when it comes to the wrong files.

The last floppy disk was made over a decade ago and doesn't even have enough capacity to store a modern smart phone picture, so why do some people still love using them? It's all fun-and-games until the magnets come out

I think the article gave some pretty good reasons for using obsolete technology, starting with "if it ain't broke, don't upgrade it."

Developing software in teams is not the be-all end-all solution. In fact, there are some issues that arise strictly from the fact that we have a team. Team work makes the nightmare work

"companion" widgets is code for 'ads'? I'm betting it's code for ads.

Despite overall generous salaries, a lack of raises and falling cybersecurity budgets are leading to dissatisfaction among chief information security officers (CISOs) when it comes to compensation. Time to get the tiny violins out
You can play them while the CISO tells you to ignore the latest 0-day alerts that are currently being targeted on your application/site.
"average total compensation for tech CISOs is $710,000, with a median of $440,000"

At those salaries I don't feel sorry for them. The CISOs that really matter don't make that much and have problems getting their CEOs and CFOs to take cyber security seriously.

Still more useful than a big number of "scientific" studies that consume big money too.
