05:41 schestowitz[TR2]; IBM is betting their future on Partnerships. Why? Because their primary customer base mainframe isnt growing, and the only way out of that box canyon is to partner off the perform side of the house, and offer newer/unique solutions to continue to exploit their monopoly (mainframe) So whats a company to do
05:41 schestowitz[TR2]; Infrastructure concentrates on design mostly around chips. Everything else (the perform part) gets partnered off. (scale out manufacturing, cloud, TSS). Essentially infrastructures job is to continue the mainframe/enterprise legacy (35% of infrastructure) How do they do that? By innovative chip design. Everything else goes Infrastructure shrinks 60-65%
05:41 schestowitz[TR2]; SW has already shown their cards Buy innovation to replace legacy. Act as a distributor of that innovative SW since its a monopoly market. Offshore the new SW support. Rinse and repeat. SW division shrinks 50-60% over time
05:41 schestowitz[TR2]; Consulting wants to be just that Consulting. The perform part (80% of consulting) can be partnered out and IBM can be paid commission for acting as the front end of the perform part. IBM will invest in AI as that replaces perform labor, and IBM consulting can license that. Consulting will shrink 65-70% over time "

06:51 schestowitz[TR2]; <p> As the SQL dialect supported by SQLite is quite large and complex, we'll initially limit ourselves to a subset that comprises only the select statement, in a striped-down form. Only expressions of the form select <columns> from <table> will be supported, where <columns> is either * or a comma-separated list of columns names (with an optional as alias), and <table> is the name of a table.
06:51 schestowitz[TR2]; </p><p> The full SQL syntax, as implemented in SQLite is described in great detail in the SQL As Understood By SQLite document. </p>"

22:51 schestowitz[TR2]; The Register has always had these kinds of posts sponsored by industry - their Blocks and Files website is essentially 99% industry ad reads - but they'll still stab IBM in the front the next stupid thing they do, don't worry. You come to The Register for snark, and I'm pretty sure the writers know it.
