Really surprised by all the high-fiving and positive excitement going on about this article. Putting eight million files in one directory level aside, the whole basis for this event - using the filesystem as a storage layer for a k/v 'datab

Article illustrates numerous manner of ways of doing things incorrectly. The premise of the article is a bad precedent for stable environments: let's bend the OS so that it plays nicely with what's clearly misuse and misunderstanding of fi

Then in MongoDB's case durability is a function of scale, which leads back to the parent's suggestion that it is a technology optimized for performance. Personally I think this is a bad foundation for data that is important. There are prob

I've always thought of 'Codename Chinadoll' as an unheralded beauty. It seemed unusual in 1999 and still stands out stylistically today. It featured some really nice 2-d elements, nods to print media. Its poor placement in competition, diff

It's still the better search interface. Hope you make the code available. Thanks.

How many more posts do we need expressing our displeasure that searchyc has gone AWOL? Wake me up when there's an official status update.

Careful. Apache responds with an HTTP code 414-Request URI Too Large once the URI reaches around 8K in length. Default limits exist in several load balancers as well.

I didn't think I was the only one. There aren't too many, or any, other places where you get a peer level of trust from an otherwise anonymous community.

I think the commenter is simply clarifying that the file has been a universal way to represent almost every resource in Unix since its inception.

Mmm. Office Food. Thankfully I avoided that anyway. In a WFH situation, it's actually the lack of exercise or commute that I'm talking about. Walking or biking to work and walking with co-workers to and from lunch several times a week is he

First of all, Sphinx is fantastic and a majority of people will find it suitable for full-text search, but there are some weaknesses that might make Solr (Lucene, really) more powerful and appropriate for full-text: 1.'did-you-mean' support

No, there is no incremental mode to the indexer, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. Create a counter table to keep track of what records you've indexed and cron frequent indexer runs using the latest records as offsets. If you have doc
