I'm making this analogy extreme for the sake of clarity not because I think it's legitimately comparable: Charles Manson's friends and followers were pretty fond of him too. Leadership of a company tends to attract rather extreme personalit

I don't like to be vulgar, particularly on HN, but it really needs to be asked. Is anyone here really all that surprised Chesky is a douche?

Fuck, now that's gone. This needs to be more popular. I work with datasets that are large enough to be impractical with third parties anyway. Edit: Don't correct me saying it's not gone because they got acquired, I saw what dotCloud has don

Redis is in general, just an excellent pillow to put between your API, app servers, and frontend servers and your main backing stores for various purposes. Just don't plan to keep anything important in it for very long. It's not even a gre

I doubt I've posted to even a third of their advertisements on HN. Please show data before making a claim like that. The last 24 hours do not a sample-set make.

If you look at the history of this person, you'll notice they are a member of Nodejitsu and/or are shilling on behalf of them at the moment. Also a quote from a person who isn't me from some time ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26

It's something they do collectively and pervasively, and I mean sock-puppeteering literally here.

Notice the green in the username? Nobody on team actually sticks with an identity, particularly Marak (currently barracks on HN). Lots of sock-puppeteering going on.

Same said person, Quote: "I don't think Node will ever replace Erlang for what Erlang is good for. " In the same comment too. Also, credentials? Do you have to be famous to be able to comment on anything with any experience or knowledge? Ha

Crash-only is an aspect of Erlang, you've not replaced the entirety of what makes Erlang uniquely useful.

Have you spent more than a tutorial with Erlang?

Syntax is potentially the most shallow thing to complain about, particularly when it actually makes sense in the structure of the language in question (like Erlang) and doesn't hurt readability for anyone (unlike some perceptions of Lisp).

Do I need to enumerate the many problems with node.js's runtime that make it unsuitable as a replacement for Erlang which has been done many times before?

Hey if you don't like the broken car that we sold you, go to an iron mine and mine yourself the materials to make one yourself! </sarcasm> I've seen this false argument too many times on the internet. When can we be done doing this?

The candor about the trade-offs involved in picking one database vs. another is definitely appreciated and is a tone the community needs to take on the subject in general.

Downvoted ONLY because of the sniveling caveat at the end. People need to stop doing this.

Meaningless copypasta, I was asking for a simple description of what it provides that would enable this.

He was also a major contributor to one of the best books on MySQL. The one that Monty worked on. The guy knows databases, period.

Proper SQL? Nice No True Scotsman. Everybody has a pet feature in their preferred SQL DB that they think makes it a "real" SQL database, Postgres and Oracle people in particular. I agree that MySQL is a bit janky, but get real.

This is exemplary of the materialistic mindset that some people will get wrapped up in at times, missing the real point. Disclaimers: I am an engineer, materialist, and a nihilist.
