Right, stationary hands means less energy expended means less stress and less strain. It's just tough to get used to the "nub", it's like learning how to ride a bike at the age of 25, hehe :-)

Server. Cloud. If it's your personal music it's not going to matter whether you have a cluster of servers or your single VPS with a service running on it. This cloud buzz is like ajax of 5 years ago. Can we use the terms 'onl

Can we just say online instead of 'the cloud'? That's what you mean, does it matter if it's only a single server or a virtualized XEN cluster? No.

I'm actually kind of curious to see the "moon rune" comment chain mentioned. Someone is actually calling non-latin languages "moon runes"? Seems humorously innocent if anything at all.

Seconded. The best keyboard I ever had belonged to a third generation IBM Thinkpad. When I saw the Thinkpad keyboard on amazon, I jumped on it. The trackpoint takes a bit of getting used to but it is really great for programming because you

SnapChat is the tech equivalent of a boy-band. The very idea of sending something that only lasts a few seconds is snarky, and really only appeals to immature folk, ie. snarky kids. I'm okay with not being part of the kid crowd, or bas

jQuery still lacks the ability to select for just a single element. That makes it horribly inefficient for id selectors among other single-element cases.

If you know you are only storing two languages, they can go directly on the parent table, named english_text and spanish_text. If you are talking about the easyness of storing a hashmap in NoSQL, ie: { english :'text',

Everything you've mentioned is standard to SQL databases. If you have a schema you don't need NoSQL. Use an ORM for SQL for the language of your choice. Pretty much any db will run as a single node but you should never do that in

I did not know this. That would be pretty awful for a high traffic service.

I think the biggest lesson here for us engineers is that we should watch and brace ourselves for similar tech buzz offerings like MongoDB. A few years when I went for interviews for startups, it was shameful that I didn't have experien

MySQL is an awful implementation of SQL. MongoDB is even more pitiful of an implementation of NoSQL. It's a Fischer price database that had a global write lock until version 2.2. What exactly don't you understand about the analogo

Many articles regarding MongoDBs awful memory mapped simple b-tree data storage method have popped up on HN. Martin is merely talking about the politics of MongoDB; to call his links to polyglot methods and his information blog spam is dish

There really is no benefit to using NoSQL if your schema is well defined unless your queries don't use indexes an all you want is a stack of documents. SQL is faster for structures data when the queries rely on well defined indexes and

Morality is less about the victim and more about the actions of the oppressor. You can say 'screw cockroaches' all you want but how does that justify the savage action of torture?

Torture is wrong. Especially prolonged torture in the form of forced servitude. How can you claim any degree of moral backing for this practice when its science lacks merits and it is merely a toy of torture?

I'm surprised there are no mention of techniques to create enough heat to cause a fire. I suppose that's a bit more than a killer poke. Got any links for a 'flaming' poke?

An example of such shenanigans is WeWorkRemotely.com. It was posted to HN recently, and was totally free. Less than a week later and they want $200 for a listing. Egregious behavior, especially for something put on by 37 signals.

It's the freedom. You're a ball on a chain at pretty much any company.
