Oracle Has Started Laying Off US Employees With More Cuts Expected[^]
$1b reduction in expenses...That's a LOT of people. That headline only mentions US employees, but the layoffs are world-wide.

Layoffs had already begun in Oracle's advertising unit, which cut about 60 people last month, Insider reported. Meanwhile, top executives like Ariel Kelman, its chief marketing officer, and Juergen Lindner, a marketing leader, are expected to depart the firm.
The cuts come amid big changes for the Austin, Texas, company: Oracle last month won regulatory approval for its $28 billion purchase of the medical-records company Cerner and is absorbing its roughly 20,000 employees.
The database company reported better-than-expected earnings in June, with a 5% revenue increase from the year prior and cloud revenues of $2.9 billion. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, its cloud platform, still lags AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud in overall market share.
Caveat Emptor.

I don't know why, but I suppose they legal department is not going to be affected...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Linus Torvalds starts some kernel development tasks using Apple Arm64 hardware and says Linux 5.19 contains 'a lot of random stuff'. Maybe someone could have helped him install Linux earlier?

Linus: We've had Arm64 hardware around running Linux for a long time, but none of it has really been usable as a development platform until now, Fixed

We had a nice chat with Douglas Crockford, a well-known American computer programmer who was involved in the development of the JavaScript language. Douglas is the author of How JavaScript Works. He also discovered the JSON Data Interchange Format, the world’s most loved data format. "The best thing we can do today to JavaScript is to retire it."
Posted entirely for that quote. (and so it would be next to that React Native article)

Quote: The half-life of XML is about three years. It's sad - with XML you could have validating schemas, data type specifications, simple rules, references (and therefore reusable) sub-schemas, and it was extensible and one could write awesome queries. I personally think we lost a lot particularly in terms of data validation, moving to JSON.
But nowadays we have the opposing forces of dumbing everything down contrasted by a plethora of overly complicated front-end frameworks. It's stunning to me that some of the front-end programmers I've worked with know (after spending hours or days figuring out the framework) how to do something in a complex framework and yet have no idea how to implement the same functionality in pure Javascript / TypeScript which takes me a few minutes. Anyways, I digress.

JSON was too complicated so Rust uses TOML[^] (Tom's Obvious Minimal Language). No joke.
You'll see resemblance to old windows (3.1) .ini files.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the old Windows .ini files. They're a heck of a lot more readable than the XML .config files that have been foisted on everyone.

json u mean the txt file with { : ,,,, etc

React Native builds on top of the native platform for every OS it runs on; on Windows, this translates to producing a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app. Create Windows apps in JavaScript? Sure, why not?

Quote: The MIDL compiler is run to turn IDL files into Windows Metadata - this is required to produce information used by the XAML compiler
the XAML compiler is invoked to convert XAML markup files into C++ code
the MDMerge tool runs to merge all Windows Metadata files from the application
C++/WinRT is invoked to turn Windows Metadata into C++ projection headers as well as component sources
Only then, the C++ compiler and linker run on the app Really, what can go wrong?

Docusaurus is a static site generator that helps you ship beautiful documentation websites in no time. I'm not sure naming your doc tool as though it were extinct is a good idea
|

With the speed at which tech changes, maybe its just an homage to how relevant documentation is the minute it's completed.

You have a point.
Quote: late 16th century: via Latin from Greek thēsauros ‘storehouse, treasure’. The original sense ‘dictionary or encyclopedia’ was narrowed to the current meaning by the publication of Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases (1852). vs.
Quote: mid 19th century: from modern Latin dinosaurus, from Greek deinos ‘terrible’ + sauros ‘lizard’.

Investigators found that the company collected geolocation data without consent for over a year. They're double-double sorry
And I'm even more sorry to keep using that joke with Timmie's, but there you go.
With any luck, some other company will provide the coffee and donuts.

Hit'em with a 2-by-4.
For non-Canadians, that's one of their coffees with double cream and quadruple sugar. Or is it the other way around? Either way, the sugar makes it gross.
For East Ponders, a 2-by-4 also refers to the most common size of lumber used by home builders.
