Quote: with artificial intelligence it could one day acquire unlimited wisdom
What's an AI anyway, apart from some ML algorithm, and what's wisdom, furthermore I don't think this guy knows the definition of "unlimited"[^].
Feed it a bit of input and it'll end up like that Microsoft "AI", a cursing racist and misogynist 
This one was just too easy!

Nor did that guy you posted the link to. Last time I saw him, he was skydiving in the Death Star. Perhaps he found unlimited power when he impacted at the reactor core.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I was thinking that Mindars could be the saviors of choir boys world-wide, but, I decided not to mention that on the Lounge for fear it might be tasteless.

V-J Day - HISTORY[^]
I was not old enough to serve but I was old enough that I remember. I think the yanks and brits were a little closer together then.

It was along time ago, but we are still feeling it's affects. My Dad was in a similar situation (he told stories of being straffed by FW190's on the way to school!), on VJ Day he broke a Window trying to fly a flag (which got out hand)

Happy 2019 everyone (this being my second post of this year (equally my tally for last)).
Anyone got any experience of living and / or working in Riga?
Specifically living / working there as a middle aged Englishman who doesn't really enjoy the interaction with humans, although anything is welcome.

hah, if you don't like people try Asia.
Asia is a beautiful tropical paradise that has only 1 shortcoming: Asians.
too damn many of em, there's literally nowhere you can go where there aren't other people, 24/7... no empty country side, no empty mountains, no empty forests (what little remains), no such thing as an empty beach.
interestingly I watch a British series called Death in Paradise, set in a fictional Caribbean island, although Saint Marie doesn't exist it is filmed in Guadeloupe and nearby locations.
One thing stands out: a tropical countries that have done it right. Small populations, most of their islands un/low-developed, every day: get enough for the day and then enjoy life. (ok, some over simplification but mostly like that.)
Asians have burned and asphalted almost all of their jungles, built the ugliest crowded cities, and well to keep it short: every day is about money at any cost no matter how long it takes, and taking free time is seen as lost opportunity for more money.
I'm tired, I'm always tired. Everyday think about leaving, (100% no lies) and almost ready to get out, but just a little bit more have to do. (family, sigh).

I think murder victim in Death in Paradise must be one of the greatest acting job for British actors at the moment. They fly you out, you get bumped off in the first couple of scenes, then you have to sit around in a fully funded Carrbiean hotel until the rest of the episode has been shot, then they fly you home.
Like I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, if you aware if the show. Stars get flown out to Australia, the one voted out first then has to live in the 5 star hotel for the next couple of weeks waiting for the rest of them to leave. Losing on that show is winning if you ask me.

We attempted a deployment last night. This involves both one or more web apps, and one or more databases. The web apps gave us no problems, and all but one of the databases deployed just fine.
Why the one data base failed: We have for db environments dev, test, QA, and production. We develop on dev (of course) pretty much ignore test, test on QA (external testers), and deploy to production. SQL Server versions by environment:
dev - 2012
Test - 2008R2
QA - 2016
Production - 2008R2
While developing, we used DATEFROMPARTS. This tested fine in Dev and QA, but failed on production. We spent two hours coming up with a fix, but since we couldn't run it through a proper test cycle, we had to roll back everything.

This is why my dev system stays at SQL 2012(SP1) - because that's what the prod system is running, and I can't change that.

You have simple life...
Imagine a few hundred customers... Each have one production environment and at least one test environment (some has two or three)... Each (can) have a different OS, with different patches and .NET Framework, different SQL (version and edition)... The network can contain from a one to n computers, each with different role (like printing server, SQL, app, web)... They may use NLB and clustering...
Now deploy an update to all of them...

there's an industry standard solution for that: lowest common denominator.
in particular for databases this is an imperative practice.
sounds like your company lost the plot and really should must that sorted (with everything else on hold) until that happens.
