It's the way things are. You have to subdue the opposing side completely, or the war never ends. Doing this means essentially beating them mercilessly until they have no choice to fully capitulate. It's not that we lack the cap

> The US is not good at wars. What? We can kick pretty much any country's ass six ways from Sunday. We admittedly have trouble with having the political fortitude to fully break our adversary's will to fight back, but I think

It's almost like we need a party that advocates for personal liberty above all else.

> rednecks Is that really necessary? You could replace that with any other class/race/cultural group and you would be banned in seconds. It needs to stop, and surely HN is a progressive enough place to help begin that process

You say that as if all LE would be on the same side. They wouldn't. The military is another factor altogether. Depending on the circumstances, it's fairly likely that some fraction of both LE and military would be on the revolu

Looking through the number of steps he took in this endeavor, this doesn't seem like a blip. More like..a sustained lack of integrity.

I don't feel like you're deserving the downvotes you're getting. Printing money is indeed theft or taxes, depending on your bias, because it dilutes your cash savings.

Because it can and will fail in odd ways, and that has one of two outcomes: 1) It doesn't matter, which means the time, energy and money spent setting it up was squandered when it could have been spent on marketing or product dev. or 2

First off, thanks for sharing your experiences. I am standing up a system right now that will use PostgreSQL RDS and it's good to know what kinds of bumps in the road to expect. I think I am fine with most of those, since I am saving

I've used Bose earbuds for half a decade or more, and you can pry them from my cold dead hands.

As of late, I've been doing php+pgsql and it's like easy+easy. My latest app was an absolute pleasure to code, and I haven't said that in a a long time. I agree that pgAdmin leaves a lot to be desired. It needs something on

RDS makes it trivial to have high availability if you can't afford a DBA worth their salt. You don't need 10x replication to beat the uptime of your shitty web app.

I use the holy hell out of stored procs and UDFs, and they have saved my bacon plenty of times. Once you get past building todo lists, you'll end up with complicated transactions that do many different data mutations, usually along wit

If it's running on a desktop in your apartment, you don't need replica sets.

I work in a Teradata shop in a major financial institution and the hours are reasonable and the work is borderline relaxing. There is a nice middle ground between 20h/wk and the startup meatgrinder if you seek it.

In case you're curious, you're getting downvoted because you told the emperor that he isn't wearing any clothes.

So relocate to bumfuck, england and do your work there. I don't think the idea is to ditch your job and still pay $3000 a month for an apartment.

Good point, I'll have to remember not to use it on any of my development workstations that have 512MB of memory.

Yes, unlike 99% of the start-ups who demand it.

It's an independence thing. If that isn't important to you, none of this is going to seem terribly useful.

No, you run into limits with some relational engines. I work in a Teradata shop and we handle relational models of this size just fine.

I wish they had just been less stubborn and made something that would run bash and standard unix commands. I've used it for production jobs and it's worked as advertised, but I would have rather have just had bash.

by angrybits 12y ago
I can't figure out why you're arguing against standard unix tools/idioms in the name of supportability and extensibility? It defies logic.
