Thanks for this info. Does it have to use Node.js on the server can the client side framework work with any server side JSON service?

Right. But by no fault of Postgres either because disk-based io offers durability and in-memory classically does not. Apples and oranges. In fact all the recent discussions of "performance" for RDBMSs has to be understood in ter

Yeah. I think so. Found this while Googling for Quora's valuation: http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/09/quora-forever/

Are there any good examples of startups creating a "massive user base" but not making any money? The likes of WhatsApp were valued significantly higher than the readings of their cash flows would convey. So such examples of mass

I don't believe this is true. I think the startup ecosystem actually learned how to game "making something people want". After all, startups are companies, companies need to profit, and "making what people want&quot

Like the other poster suggested, Camus did not encourage suicide but used the concept of suicide to judge a philosopher's honesty. I'm not French nor do I speak the language, but I imagine that it has to be a truly uniquely Frenc

Exactly. :-) It's problematic to view the evolution of data modeling in the same way as the evolution of programming languages or paradigms associated with programming languages (including SQL). So while languages and language-oriente

Wow, what an incredibly dense thing to presuppose and advice others that the idea of data normalisation is antiquated because the primary purpose, when it was "thought of", was to save disk space! Data normalisation is all about

Here's the quote: "Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships." Wow, thanks for posting the excellent link.

What I find incredible to believe is that this problem could have happened without the F7 erroneous keystroke by a human. A simple power outage could have resulted in this exact same catastrophe. Why didn't the backups work? System w

Sorry, my bad. Read that hastily. Let me try that again: Company has Departments with many Employees. One Employee is always a DepartmentHead. POOR DATA STRUCTURE: class Department { property Integer DepartmentId; property String

My take: poorly designed data models (persistence structures) relying on clever hacks in the program to overcome incorrect ordinality and cardinality rules, data redundancy etc ...

Hi Nick, Is Chartjs related to Chartjs from DevExpress? Edit: Link http://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Howto/Data_Visualizat...

Agreed. You said: "What we need is a more powerful SQL, one that doesn't require boilerplate and can do things like recursion (making every database a graph database)." What about SQL's common table expressions (CTEs)? N

That's the thing: technical debt is the cost of innovation. Edit: "Technical debt has to be the acceptable cost of rapid and affordable innovation." We can't talk about (technical) debt without recognising the commensu

I think the "prototype" analogue borrowed from engineering to software is a bit problematic. I don't believe there is such a thing as a "working prototype" in software. It either works or it doesn't. If it w

No, this is not burnout. This is overworking. Burnout is when you have zero interest in touching your keyboard, let alone spending 12 hours coding.

I pretty much share your experience. I have found that this tends to hit me whenever I work alone. Two things fixed this for me ... somewhat: 1. Find and work with someone who genuinely cares about your work to give you honest but compas

What Jeff is saying, and I agree, is that our human brain is quite capable of keeping a list of things to do - if that's all it takes to get things done. Unfortunately, it isn't. It's not that we forget about the tasks, but t

:-) Hang in there! We are in the same boat too. Our problem is that we thought we had a growth problem until recently, only it turned out that we have more of a strategy problem. What are we selling? To whom are we selling? Do they eve

There's a quicker method of identifying "survival mode": just ask your accounting/finance officer about your cash flow for the last quarter and the projection for the next. If your company isn't able to cover its b

Exactly. But perhaps this is the problem of moderating comments on a binary scale of "good" and "bad". A comment judgement/rating system that is more nuanced will not only help the readers to choose from but also he

Exactly. Maybe a social experiment to see how folks react to internet begging? Dunno. But why is it here on HN? I'm not saying that the story isn't genuine, but there's no evidence or proof that it is and yet people are do

Add to that your new innovations and creative methods of solving business problems requires managers to reskill themselves into new modes of operation. Something they hate doing because they got this position to keep the status quo for as
