Hi Mike! That's good to know, I'd like to give it a try, but only OS X and Linux seems to be supported.

My apologies, I thought RethinkDB was a relational database; the mention of joins gave me the thought, as I don't know of any other non-relational database that directly supports joins.

The relational model is not suitable for what most people are using relational databases for. That's why there's a whole bunch of ORMs, with varying degrees of magic. It's also the reason some people were crazy enough to use relational DBs

Seems RethinkDB is still relational. Meh. If you're using C#, I'd recommend RavenDB.

There are plenty of people who CANNOT AFFORD insurance, because it is HIDEOUSLY expensive. And even if they can afford it, the companies can drop the policy or refuse payment for a huge amount of reasons. What, do you think you'll be going

What, it's bad they're actively campaigning against smoking and unhealthy foods and for having regular exercise? Are you kidding me?!

What the hell? State provided healthcare = Socialism?! That's bullshit. What about the police department? Or the fire department? Or the post office?

State organized and owned healthcare. You pay for it as a taxpayer and don't have to worry about going bankrupt because of a disease that can happen to anybody. For an example, the UK's NHS. Private healthcare is still perfectly legal and f

Or how about have national healthcare? Like every other decent country on this planet?

Everything was taxed, equally (with a few exceptions like food). No wasted time figuring out which tax to use, keeping up with tax changes, arguing why the brick & mortar store has a 5% rate while the online shop has 10%, etc. Over the

2 cents from an European here: Why does the US not have VAT and instead have this big mess called sales tax? IIRC it's one of the only few developed countries without VAT.

And web apps are supposed to replace desktop apps...

That's a workaround of sorts, not a solution.

I gave it a 5 minute trial. Can't figure out if it supports multiple addresses.

Ctrl + Shift + 8? You gotta be shitting me! Ctrl + ] & [ to indent? What's wrong with Tab & Shift-Tab, like in every other app?

Nobody thinks Photoshop has a good UX, but that's not the point; the point is it's been consistent, with only small, helpful changes. If Adobe redesigned the Photoshop interface they'd instantly love half their market share, as people using

I agree with you. The newest updates annoy me a lot, especially the signature one - I commonly write emails in two languages and I need to check if the signature is the correct one; a pain now. Furthermore I use the web client to manage all

I'm very curious how C# would compare on the .NET and Mono stacks.
146.
by cmircea 13y ago
APC only caches the opcodes, so the interpreter doesn't have to parse your code. But the framework still has to set up itself for each request individually. Parse configuration, create objects, etc. It adds up quickly.

This is business as usual for me with ASP.NET. IIS Express has to start, then the app to load, then to initialize, then to compile the views. And don't get me started on the Azure Compute Emulator.

Moore's law hasn't made it moot. Running in the cloud is pretty slow and extremely expensive. Look at StackExchange for example - they used to handle a LOT of traffic on a handful of servers. Even these benchmarks say (or said) that the EC2

Well depends exactly on the implementation. Some may issue queries in parallel and aggregate the results, blocking until everything is done. Others may run them sequentially, which is the simplest but slowest way.

To add my 2 cents, static languages have started adding dynamic features. One example is C#.
