   Can you explain a little about the problem? It makes sense to me to store everything in the database and scale that. A solution to scaling the database seems to be horizontal partitioning where possible. Is this hard to do? Am I missing som

   Many folks would say the database is where scaling problems belong. This makes sense but I've found the db to be a rather large bottleneck. On one hand, it's nice to store everything in a single blackbox and the apps don't have to care ab

   It also doesn't say anything. It'd be nice if he explained a little more of his position. A common thing I hear is that Rails simply puts the problem of scale into the database. The problem may not be a Rails problem, but the design of Rail

   I tend to think record labels aren't entirely worthless, though the barrier to entry is getting quite small. They serve to promote bands and act almost like vc's by taking a risk and funding the bands that can't afford to get a good soundin

   I like this idea. How about Sunday July 20th starting around 7:30pm?

    I live and work in Manhattan and am happy to travel to any of the five boroughs, though I prefer Manhattan and Brooklyn.

    When PG says New York City, I usually take it to mean Manhattan. Brooklyn and Queens are both pretty awesome. If anyone here is from NYC, I'd love to start some real-life gatherings for YC'ers. Edit: on this topic, I believe reddit started

    Though he attempts to say otherwise, I think this is the same as appealing to authority. I'm not saying this to brag, or to "pull rank" on anyone. I'm saying it to point out that maybe, just maybe, we know SOMEthing about software design a

    Hmm... It's amusing to me that spartan programming has a name like this. To me, it's simply about efficiently using resources. I am reminded of the time I asked Miguel de Icaza about design patterns. He said he never saw the point of having

    but when the code runs to a screen or two a little order helps a lot. So... all the time? If you're not writing pages of code, you might be leveraging someone else's pages and pages of code.

    In response to this and raghus, I can't help but think checking where people are moving to is more of a marketing test than relevant information about happiness.

    I see your point but would argue the foundations of a language should be simple enough to test in a fashion like this. Perhaps this particular test isn't good because numbers are skewed from optimizations that don't reflect the languages ab

    I would argue that SEO, in the context of google, is really an analysis of how to make your site more relevant to the intended audience. This is not a bad thing.

    I use eclipse for Java still. Our project has something like 100,000 source files. Memorizing this lay-out is hard! There isn't much sense to it. Having the open-type shortcut is a life-saver. So is the type hierarchy browser. Emacs is grea
