I think ted was likely a great deal smarter than the people we're dealing with now.

Present concurrency is 0, it's just slow. It's not SQLite unless there is pathological behavior because I've demoed ideas to HN traffic with SQLite before and it performed better than a vanilla MySQL deployment. (Not saying this is advisabl

The funny part is trac isn't that fast either. It's overall a superior tool for the job, and loads simpler in every respect, but I get a healthy amount of delay on each and every action I perform in most trac deployments. I keep meaning to

Stop wasting our time with this. Post it when it's done, divided into parts or not. I will read part 1 and only part 1 if that's the only one available at the time it was posted. I will not return to your site to look for that content again

I walk around plugged into my iPhone, portability isn't the issue, perturbing my physical state is. If I have to pause to think to move around or have an alarm that does this for me, I'm going to lose flow instantly . Edit: Point being, I'

The code writing isn't the hard part per se, it's simply that I work for a startup and have a lot of work to do. My best design decisions and code and productivity come out of flow. I'm into functional languages like you are, but my bac

>get up and walk around as I chew through a problem in my head. Surely this doesn't constitute a break in "flow". I'm afraid it most certainly does for myself and other programmers I know. My "walking around and contemplating" is a comp

Is it going to have the same/similar multi-replication for enterprise only limitation that Riak has or is this going to be funded in some other way?

Not that many. The Russians were providing virtually the only capital support the antagonist had at the time so harassing them and shutting down their supply chain and income sources made a lot of sense. Our small team ops were effectivel

Yeah right, last thing they need is people inquiring/crowding into their livelihood. They didn't like me very much anyway. I was a merc paid to fuck up their operation by enemies of one of their allies.

Couch is definitely a lot more honest about their limitations than mongo or riak, but my experiences make me hesitant to recommend it to anyone not intimately familiar with those limitations.

CouchDB is better'ish for larger datasets, but not for arbitrary scaling. MapReduce in CouchDB requires dumb full-scans if you're not just refreshing an existing view. Arbitrarily large data is the exclusive domain of hadoop/hypertable/cass

Do you have any idea how much stuff we've written in Elisp? It's. Not. Worth. It. You people don't even listen when we try to explain that lexical scope is unnecessary and potentially even a bad idea. Threads? Come on. :\
84.
by alnayyir 15y ago
As an avid elisper: No. Just...no. The lexical scope doesn't make sense for the kind of scripting done in Emacs and having a unified language (unlike vim with many people bolting their preferred language onto it) for the most part is a hug

So when are you guys going to back up the openness propaganda and open source something of substance other than protobuf?

I don't know, I don't even like how the startup industry currently works. It mostly looks like a wealth transfer from the wealthy to the children of yuppies to me. I don't see much business value actually being created.

You haven't qualified your statements yet, nor demonstrated you know much about either situation we're referencing.

It hasn't occurred to how superficial that sounds, eh? You should read up on what Woz did to improve/perfect the design and efficiency of the Apple II.

It's like a GROUP BY statement in a query. What are we compromising and not compromising on? Which values/properties/goals? What trade-offs are involved?
