400 models of cars would have a problem if they could not standardize on a single kind of road or petrol. The accessory issue is about a standard connector and protocol. There are heaps of iPods and iPhones, but one connector and protocol.

I agree use semicolons. Or longer: Because JavaScript allows semicolon insertion some syntax is parsed in a way which is surprising to those skilled with other curly brace languages. This can causes problems if you do or don't try to leav

What you ought to be doing is making trade offs that make sense for your situation without following any particular religion. Not OO (Object Oriented) is high praise in situations where the OO solution would be worse. All heuristics shoul

I agree that for most requirements I have, an SQL database can deliver the data I need, quickly, unless I am missing an index or using an ORM tool. For Atomic, put all the related stuff in a document and commit it. Your issue with home page

One idea is that if an email address is updated the bugs are not updated straight away (inconsistency). They are updated as load on the system allows. Then you control the spikes as you see fit, to match your performance requirements. Ano

If an SQL (any) database is fast there are a few possibilities: 1. There is an index 2. The database is in memory and a scan is running in process 3. The query result was precomputed 4. The query was not that hard With couc

I don't know what 'I need the data to be transactional' means. One way to get isolation is to put a transaction in one document. Often this is easier and more flexible that trying to take the 'car to pieces' everytime your park it. It is

For the worst thing about T9 is the time to switch between it and the other entry mode for unknown words. Also you can't do T9 without looking at what's selected.

What I love about your comment is that it has an actual speed. The answer on this is simple. Take random groups people. Give group swype, give another group this. Train them for 10 minutes and test them. Report speed and error rate, bin

Perhaps graduates with PHD's will struggle to get university teaching jobs which pay $8.50 and hour, and never have much of a hope at the good tenured professors jobs. Or perhaps graduates won't get jobs at all and the tax payers or parents
