Datomic VS ShellNewHandler

• Immutability
  Datomic employs an append-only data model where data is never overwritten but instead appended, ensuring historical data is always available and providing strong consistency.
• Time Travel Queries
  Datomic allows you to query the database as of any point in time, facilitating auditing and debugging by allowing easy access to historical data states.
• Rich Data Model
  Supports complex data types like maps and sets directly within its schema, providing a flexible way to represent data.
• ACID Transactions
  Datomic supports fully ACID-compliant transactions, ensuring reliable and predictable database operations.
• Scalability
  Separates storage and compute, allowing for horizontal scaling of read operations, making it suitable for handling large datasets.
• Query Flexibility
  Offers a powerful query language that supports recursive queries, making it suitable for complex data retrieval needs.

Possible disadvantages

• Complexity
  The architecture of Datomic can be complex to understand and implement, particularly for teams unfamiliar with its design principles.
• Cost
  Can be expensive to operate, especially in a cloud environment, where costs increase with the amount of data stored and the compute resources required.
• Limited Write Throughput
  Due to its append-only design, Datomic can have limited write throughput, which may not be suitable for applications with heavy write requirements.
• Closed Source
  Datomic is a proprietary database system, which may not appeal to organizations that prefer open-source solutions.
• Learning Curve
  Requires a learning curve as its conceptual model and query language are different from traditional databases, potentially requiring additional training.
• Dependency on AWS
  Relying on AWS ecosystem for the storage backend can limit choices for deployment environments, impacting flexibility.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
