Why developers should care about database devops. DevOps Days 4-2013
Devops is a way of thinking about collaboration between DBAs managing Oracle & SQL Server with their development counterparts creating applications that depend on the databases. Most software developers ignore the impact of their code on the SQL Server or Oracle back end, assuming a DBA will worry about the performance. But most application failures are not binary, they are the result of degraded performance by queries in the database. 70% of performance failures originate at the database layer.
This short Ignite presentation (1 minute per slide, auto advance) was presented at DevOps Days Austin in April 2013, giving just a taste of the benefits to developers of collaborating with their database operations DBA counterparts. For more information see www.confio.com/devops. created and delivered by Don Bergal, CMO, Confio Software.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
