Microsoft's APIs have traditionally been poorly written, bizarre, late, often built specifically to force vendor lock-in, and seem even now to appear and disappear depending on which group inside Microsoft is favored…
Amazon clearly needs a change in management at the head of AWS. The engineers are either petrified of telling the truth (very, very bad) or incompetent (less bad but still bad). And it has been this way for an…
if it doesn't make sense to you, and you suggest using triggers (!) and mongodb map reduce (!) to get stats, then you are probably working at very small scale. There are a number of problems at small-medium to large…
when you are asked if you've ever been involved in a lawsuit, the reasonable assumption that the person is interested in knowing of your involvement in lawsuits, not if you are capable of picking and choosing a single…
would you expect someone who writes articles about DBMSes, or comments in a thread about them, to understand that memory mapped file size is (a) not necessarily limited to address space and (b) 64 bit on 90% of the…
per their submission history, OP has also attempted to generate buzz here by posting over and over: How the Galaxy In-Memory Data Grid Handles Networking How the Galaxy In-Memory Data Grid Handles Failures How the…
oh my god I wonder what dalton caldwell had for breakfast today
Redis is a particular product, not a catch-all for low latency in-memory data stores. So saying your product is a Redis (which you did, rather than making an analogy) was merely embarrassing attention grabbing marketing…
I don't think you understand Redis. Redis is also a key-value store, but implements a variety of structures, not just RTree, and has a large number of operations on those data structures (http://redis.io). Spacebase…
The good thing about the AppStore password timing out after 15 minutes is that you can hand your child the ipad/iphone/etc. and not get a surprise $5,000 itunes bill.
Maybe it's just me, but I find the e-paper Kindles to be absolutely terrible reading experiences. The text is still relatively low contrast, but the real deal killer is the refresh flash. It's jarring and disruptive and…
Reading between the lines from both the posted note and their persistent failure to provide correct statuses: the ops guys over there are in full CYA desperation mode somewhere around 100% of the time, and a culture of…
PHP is more expressive than python, ruby, or java. I see.
I would say there's a difference. PHP is bad because it has a wide variety of objectively awful design flaws, its standard library is a conflicted mess, and it's unperformant. Implementing it into a modern architecture…
I wonder what Microsoft's hardware partners think of all this. It's not just competition, they actively disparaged the others by saying that it was as powerful as all the ultrabooks out there.
Beyond the other listed benefits: Percona also provides support contracts quite inexpensively, which can be worth their weight in diamonds. I bought a support contract after our Percona instance started to slow down,…
95% of even good developers wouldn't be able to tell when a sql sanitization function is poorly coded or has a hidden gotcha. Having the source is not nearly as important as trusting the upstream to be smart and to…
first, poison all the employees and burn down the restaurant. Then, write recipes to ensure that this does not happen.
"At scale in production, adding a new node took days to complete all the handoffs..." That's a bit of a headscratcher. What is happening during those 'days' and what is the primary limiting factor? I keep meaning to get…
"Today, however, Prasad no longer feels the need for the security blanket. “In the tablet version of the server, we’re still using Node, but now the clients are talking directly from the load balancers to Node, there’s…
That sounds like a lot of fun to maintain and keep version control on, especially when they're written by different people with different motivations.
datetime is a data format problem, not a data structure format problem.
Nirvana, good point about ops/sec not being a be-all end-all, but I'd continue to argue that you're looking at the problem the wrong way. As the technical director for my game company, my primary concern is not 'whether…
Heavy Ruby is not designed for speed, and much of its heaviness causes slowness. It's entirely possible/likely that mruby will be in the same ballpark as luajit2 soon after release.
eazyBI looks very interesting, but your site and sales pitch seem pretty unpolished. How big is your team and where are you situated?
