I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing. Configuration management tools already exist that work across multiple operating systems. You can't rely on posix, but you also can't rely on anything else. There's no

Certainly, mysql's existence has always been based on "we're the db for people who don't know anything about dbs". But in this particular case, the person I responded to does know that mysql isn't doing a co

I think we're misunderstanding each other. I thought you were claiming mysql is faster for "most common uses cases", which is why I pointed out that it is actually the opposite. Yes, mysql is faster at count(), and yes it i

by copergi 13y ago
Postgresql has long been consistently faster than mysql. Count(*) is slow because it is doing what you ask. You solve this problem the same way you solve any aggregate performance problem, with a computed column.

by copergi 13y ago
Postgresql is generally faster than mysql. Fitting it onto an embedded system is either memory or storage constraints, but postgresql is equal or better in both those regards so I can't imagine what problem you had. Replication is de

If you are using activerecord it really doesn't matter. You have a "the database is stupid and shouldn't do anything so we'll write a buggy ad-hoc database in ruby on top of it" layer on top of the database, which

Both of your posts are completely lacking in substance. The purpose of comments is discussion. It allows people to share information and opinions, and to learn from each other. We can not learn from comments like "that guy is dumb&q

There are far more possible explanations than the false dichotomy you provide. If you think your suggestion #2 is most likely, then why not help me understand rather than making a completely unproductive, condescending response that provid

As someone who strongly dislikes perl (I'm being generous there really), I really don't think python or ruby do a better job at all. Python's selling point seems to just be "the syntax is different", and I honestly

I know it sounds a bit snarky, but for a lot of people it seems to be "go get a decent job instead of doing software development". Maybe not going full Gibbons, but I definitely see a lot of people move out of the software world

Your assumptions are not very accurate at all. The job I just left we had moved to haskell precisely for growth. We had no problems hiring haskellers, or having our existing PHP devs learn haskell. The new job I took is getting tons of a

No, you are confusing unit testing with TDD. Unit testing is just testing units of code. TDD is the religious practice adhered to by some followers of Agile that is a "design tool" where you write tests first. http:/&#x2F

Using analogies to avoid dealing with the actual topic is not productive. ESR claimed that open source projects are inherently more secure because "many eyes make all bugs shallow". That is what we are talking about. Not cars,

So? How does that in any way invalidate or even call into question their findings? More protein = more likely to die. Nothing in that requires salmon and beef to be identical.

>For most of my life I basically got no real protein in my diet -- cereal for breakfast, pasta for dinner, etc You know both of your examples contain protein right? Pasta contains plenty of protein. Potatoes contain plenty of protein.

It is neither pointless nor content-less. It gets to the exact heart of the problems with ESR's claim. If Joe Shmoe had said it, people would not say "no shit", they would still say "no that is complete nonsense".
