    Suggestion / Question: the "suggested users" list disappeared after my first follow, so discovery has become a little tricky. Does it exist elsewhere? If not, might be a good idea to put it back in.

    That was a lovely read, thank you. I think a lot of the comments are going to focus on how to make " more toys, better toys", and maybe that's inevitable given the audience, but I think that misses the point a little. All children need i

    Dear me, how patronizing. The reason, by the way, that leadership is often correlated with extroversion is more to do with American ideals of the perfect citizen since about the time of Dale Carnegie than due to any actual results. In fact

    A few other commenters have suggested that they don't get a chance to get past "First, make it possible." to making things beautiful, then fast. The person writing the checks doesn't care if the implementation is horrible, as long as it w

    I've no idea what your constraints are, but splitting the index into more manageable chunks, writing to multiple masters and reading from n slaves off each is an approach that has worked quite well for me (40 million plus records, big lumps

    I always liked the concept I read about in an Asimov short story years ago; the (rough) idea being that you somehow "pin" a ship/probe to the CBR/fabric of the universe and let the solar system / galaxy accelerate away at 2.1 million km/hr.
