 Beginning next month, the 64 gigabyte SR-64HXA micro SDXC memory card will be sold for around $160 in Japan, roughly five times the cost of a standard card with the same amount of storage. The SR-64HXA produces less electrical noise when reading data, the company says. Will many people buy it? Even Sony doesn’t know. “We aren’t that sure about the product’s potential demand, but we thought some among people who are committed to great sound quality would want it,” a Sony spokeswoman said.

i dont think it means that. if they were just slapping a label on something that's actually the same i think they'd probably try to push it a bit harder instead of saying "we're not really sure if anyone actually wants this". i bet there's something theoretically "better" about it

It's not the engineers that decide to keep or port software from COBOL, it's the product and business owners that make that call. Besides, in this day and age any engineer that is involved in a project like that isn't going to push for modernization anyway, they know that there's value in being the only programmer in a thousand that can put COBOL skills on their resume.

I have to deal with some of those wizard beardos (they almost all have beards for real) and all they're doing at this point is trying to not let people gently caress up the system of record they manage until after they retire values of "gently caress up the system" include - upgrade - move to a different data center - modify the schema one iota - rewrite DB calls so they're more efficient - accuse the system of not being of optimal design - glance sideways at as far as they're concerned their system is a golden goose and they're surrounded by people with scalpels

uptime is king. the museum where I work uses PayPal in the gift shop (lol I know) and their stuff went down for a little while yesterday and cost us several sales as a result. you might have 99% uptime but if that 1% is when the shop is trying to make a sale, that's enough for them to ask me about other POS options
