   The "Kennedy" comment really made me giggle. I have some dislike for some trends of applications addining great amounts of white space. I have to agree that the interface, and the "Real Names" requirements were the two b

   For example, on C#, I sometimes have to do: var value = (await (await startRequest()).GetBody()).Root; While the Rust syntax would make this a little more clear, I do not think it is a dealbreaker.

   Spanner does not support foreign keys, but they do support table interleaving, which can fill some of the gaps. Table interleaving is also important to ensure that correlated data that is colocated in the same server in the cluster.

   I find Spanner an absolute beautiful database, and I recommend people to checkout CockroachDB as well, which is inspired by Spanner.

   CockroachDB And you can get pretty close to being schemlass with the json column, and maybe with the inverted index.

   On what grounds would it be appropriate for the reporter not be allowed to finish their question? Can the White House just silence anyone that are asking difficult questions?

    Would you be alright if the game publishers can publish guidelines for what is acceptable? Much like StarCraft, I think there would be interesting competitions and challenges for people to develop AI for the game. There could also be challe

    Putting the lawsuit under "Copyright infringement" is a strange choice, but I have to agree that fighting cheaters in video games is a good fight. In one hand, the user should have ownership of their computer, and what happens in

    I recommend the book too. It is a great story on how passion drove the development of such great games.

    I have seen plenty of local-machine fast key-value stores, such as LevelDB (By Google), or RocksDB (By Facebook), but I have a hard time imagining what they are for. What are the use cases for such a library?

    Even in the coast of large cities, like NYC or Boston. The real state cost of having a data center in those regions are high, but it would be much cheaper to just hide your servers underwater, near where your users are.

    Here is some simple documentation on how it is done in C#: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclie... It is slightly verbose, but I find it immensively valuable. No ORM required.

    Talking about an easy experience for failover, and horizontally scaling, I recommend taking a look at MemSQL or NuoDB. I think MemSQL did a really nice job in creating a fast bare-bone SQL solution, with an easy to use management interface.

    I have a curiosity: Some new SQL technologies, such as NuoDB, or MemSQL, chose to implement horizontal scaling by separating the data storage and transaction processing machines. I find this awesome because the data storage can scale indepe

    I have been curious to ask someone who is knowledgeable about databases/MySQL: Spanner has a feature for creating interleaved tables, which helps data locality when performing joins on a distributed database. [1] Is this an important f

    The dolphin emulator's blog is doing awesome blog posts as usual. Reminds me of how JavaScript compilers[1] also compile several versions of the same function, as the interpreter gains more insight on how the function is used. [1] htt

    I always wondered if using SQLite for the back end for a distributed map/reduce jobs was efficient. Each machine holds part of the data in an SQLite file. It would not solve the usual sort/group by problems that require cross-mach
