Ouch
That's an ugly regression. A pity it only looks at relatively recent versions and doesn't show longer term trends. A friend of mine who's a MySQL DBA said he was 'pleasantly surprised' a year or three after whOracle first took over because they removed bottlenecks that were strangling scalability above 4 cores.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yes, being fair that could be a temporary blip. Nonetheless, it does a bit a lie to the stability you'd expect coming from an "Enterprise Friendly" company like Oracle. You would expect their quality procedures to pick up something like that.

According to a study Google conducted with researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, 5 percent of people visiting Google’s sites and services now have at least one ad injector installed. The other 95% just get their ads directly from Google

Ad injectors can be installed in people?

Given that Microsoft has a history of aggressively using software patents against free software, we decided to take a look at the legal details. There's no pleasing some people

If you live in the EU, for example, you don't have to give much about "software patents" anyways. As far as I know, you can't really patent software here, so who cares?

If you want to confine your market to the EU then no problem. But if you want to sell in the US, then you care.

I want to share with you a comparison that I did this weekend between the high-order programming features from LINQ and those being incorporated into the new Java 8 streams API. Comparing apples and pineapples

I wonder if anything's changed in the two years since that article was posted?

I just came here to snark the same. Since at the point the article was written the author was pulling from the libraries development source and noted that the API was still undergoing significant improvement, I think the answer to that question is "probably".

Starting at $499, it’s the most powerful Surface that doesn’t have “Pro” in its name. I guess RT is no more (would be nice if they announced it though)
