Compared to MMAPv1 or compared to WiredTiger?

That actually makes a lot of sense, thanks for the pointer!

The point about the salary is valid - if we are looking for someone outstanding we should be prepared to spend outstanding money. I would contest the notion that a person who's been developing software for three years is in the middle

That's excellent advice, thanks a lot for your perspective!

No worries, every constructive feedback is welcome! Although I feel you're a bit harsh on the requires skills section - only c# and JavaScript are listed in the "needs", all the rest is divided between "nice to have&quot

Sure, here it is: http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/84952/software-develop... As noted elsewhere in the thread, please keep in mind that salaries in Europe are generally much lower compared to the States :)

No need for the snark - salaries in Europe are a different story compared to the USA (aside from Switzerland perhaps); you can find some data here: http://www.payscale.com/research/IE/Location=Dublin-Dublin/S.

Perhaps it is not apparent from my original post - I am a developer... I'm trying to recruit someone for my team. Of course I've specified a salary range (which is slightly higher than the local average, based on payscale) and I&#

Maybe I'm missing something, but if it is important to guarantee that a certain message will be dispatched and processed by a worker, why wouldn't a RDBMS with appropriate transactional logic be the best solution?

To follow current trends, we should call this "a curated, hand-picked random binary stream", no?

Honestly this list could use some trimming, you can't really have a "list of sexist incident" contain a change in the way blocking works on Twitter ( http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Twitter_Blockgate )!

To be fair, I'm always very wary of claims going in the direction "programming for non-programmers". We've lived through enough workflow-oriented tools who promised a lot in that direction and delivered very little (I&#x

You are right, actually, as long as it's coming from a webserver (IIS here) I'm able to run the demo. Thanks!

Wouldn't I need a node.js server to run that? It's listed as a prerequisite in the GitHub page...

I'm not sure how I would feel about ordering health supplements (or any substance to be applied on my body, to be honest) via IndieGoGo...

That's blatant ageism (and a very common misconception, too).

To be fair, this is a poor technical choice that no reputable DBA should ever make... Not really the technology's fault.

Yes, I missed a word, it was supposed to read "disk (space) requirements" :)

The good news is, you can just wait a few weeks and get the possibility to use WiredTiger inside the upcoming 2.8.0. That will solve a few pain points that we've been dragging along for years (namely, document-level locking, disk requi

I'd say a graph database would work much better for building a Facebook clone compared to a document store like MongoDB... And a relational database would still be better than the document store. I've been using Mongo happily to p

Do you think the company's management already knows that you'd prefer to keep a more management-oriented role? They may be mistaken in assessing your desires...

I've been using their APIs in the past, they're definitely the most developer-friendly forecast service that I know of. It's good to see their hard work is paying off!

Well, that's impressive! It truly sounds like something out of a bad tv show...

Absolutely! I was not demeaning their expertise, just saying that their workflow is helpful in reaching such impressive performances with seemingly so little hardware...
