Cockroaches are considered pretty durable right? In the 80s I remember the line was always that after the nukes landed there would only be cockroaches and twinkies left.
That's not a bad thing to say about a database.
- jrs95 9y agoAnd TwinkieDB would be a copyright violation! ;)
- awalton 9y agoBut you could also call it, "BombproofDB", "NukesafeDB", "GeodistDB" or something that gets the same idea across.
- crispinb 9y agoThis is the sort of obtuse insistence on narrow denotational semantics that makes everyone avoid engineers at parties ;)
- dexterdog 9y agoIt works like a charm for me, or wait, what's the opposite of a charm?
- crispinb 9y agoDenotationally speaking, an engineer?
- benchaney 9y agoI think that is where the name comes from. It isn't narrow denotational semantics.
- crispinb 9y agoIgnoring the connotation is a textbook case of it!
- tyingq 9y agoWaterBearDB maybe?
