This is total pay, not salary based compensation. Total pay includes equity grants, which will increase if the company does well, thus will correlate with stock performance. The total pay can also be manipulated by CEO's targeting shor

Make it a product, and I'd be more interested. A number of companies have their own hosting, so the hosting part is not only unneeded, but is also usually a non starter.

Not really. They handle querying and aggregation much differently. For people coming from SQLServer/MySQL/Postgresql, the functionality differences between the NoSQL flavors is something they don't expect, and often don'

What is the syntax on finding an array value matching some key? E.g. given a user with field "favFoods":[String], how do I determine that pizza is in there?

Querying, and querying immediately after insertion. If you want queries after insertion (which require views), this can be slow in couch. Also, if you want to query, but don't want to add a view, wait for it to populate (causing a perf

From my tests with couch, the view isn't populated immediately after a document has been inserted, and may take some time. I think I tried this doing insert bulk, wait for view, insert 1, query, but I'd have to double check.

From another comment I made, on why I don't think is a good article even using the proposed thesis of "mongo doesn't work for graph like relationships": Even though their data doesn't fit well in a document store, t

Even though their data doesn't fit well in a document store, this article smacks so much of "we grabbed the hottest new database on hacker news and threw it at our problem", that any beneficial parts of the article get lost.

There's also the fact that what they were trying to do in Mongo was not what you should do in Mongo. Use a relational or graph database for data that is best represented as a relation or graph. Nothing like using a hammer to paint a wa

I think this is the first post on HN I wish I had a downvote button for, just for the reason you list. There is a reason there are different flavors of databases, and MongoDB most definitely would not be my choice for representing graph lik

No RAII is one of the things that really bugs me about go. I can't just construct an object and have it be ready, I have to remember to call some other method. Rust's memory model is also better, since it's akin to shared poi

I'm not sure how it would produce varying behavior if it satisfies the const contract, in regards to the object itself. You're passing in a non-const reference, so wherever that came from would be expected to change. However the object itse

And that's where functional programming languages are gaining over imperative/oo languages for multi-threaded behavior. Because you have the ability to break the contract, it produces code that is harder to follow, harder to learn for begin

The only time I could see that not being threadsafe is with something like a double on a system without native support, such that bits could change during operation. Even then I think the information gets pulled out. On most systems, the va

C++11 is finally saying that this is not ok, as it really breaks the const contract, and can produce varying behavior in a threaded situation. You could also argue that read/write locks aren't legitimate applications (starvation, increased

No. If you used const correctly, you couldn't change anything about the class, therefore it was also thread-safe. If your class had mutable members or got around the const guarantee through backdoors (e.g. pointer passed in that modified an

I was more surprised by a technical post complaining about workers, waiting on io, and context switching. There are ways to handle concurrency and network communication without large amounts of context switching and threads.

Just make sure whatever you do on the side is truly on the side. Even if you code something up at work they may help some open source project you're interested in, recode it away from the office on your own computer. In terms of your projec

Good luck getting a power user (or god forbid, a community moderator) review removed. A number of them feel they deserve preferential treatment because of their Yelp status, and will go out of their way to bash you when that doesn't happen.
