"But last year, CouchDB was the future. Today it's Cassandra. In a few months, it could well be MongoDB or Redis." There's a reason you didn't see Twitter switching to CouchDB last year, and the reason is Cassandra is the only one of those

"any project merge or convergence of this kind is going to be pretty painful for those using the product along the way" Only if you're using one of the non-viable products. So don't do that. :) "there's at least 3 promising projects that h

I agree that evaluating whether to switch to a solution now, or wait for something even better, is always a question you should ask. But the term "vaporware" exists for a reason. Waiting for something that may or may not be everything it's

I think you missed the part about how "joining the service is "100 percent free," but members are urged to pay $130 for software that makes it easier to enter the license plate numbers and for a package of travel discounts."

I see you aced Straw Man 101. Did you not understand what I wrote, or do you think that "large san" or "fast interconnects limited to machines in the same couple of racks" count as "scaling?"

Damn, I didn't realize how prolific his writing was. Kudos! And, anyone have a best-of list?

My inner cynic wonders if the rest of the bill is as clueless about the other industries it regulates, as it is about startups.

He resigned as Chairman, not CEO. From your link: "Whole Foods, along with many other companies with combined CEO/chairman roles, has been targeted by corporate governance activists for several years now seeking a separation of these roles

6 of the 10 reasons are variants of "puppet has more adoption." I got that after the first couple, thanks!

The 32 CPU quote [originally from POF's blog and repeated w/o correction elsewhere] is incorrect; the HP server in question has 8 quad-core _CPUs_, for a total of 32 _cores_. So still a factor of 2.5 away from our hypothetical 80 core requi

The scenario is 10x the traffic, not 10x the content. And given that Digg is an update-heavy site for all the voting (which affects how pages are rendered for your friends) assuming that caching is a magic wand here seems bogus.

You know what I want? I want a handheld that is so easy to program that you can do real app development, right on the handheld itself. Not just toy app development, the real deal. It might not be as awesome as Eclipse or Xcode but if it's

I would bet that SO has several orders of magnitude less traffic than Digg.

If you're going to pick a product based on how familiar with its implementation language you are, a whole lot more people can use Cassandra than Riak. :P But really you shouldn't care what language your database is written in, it won't affe

Pretty smooth of the PRC to redefine this as "Google trying to make a political statement" rather than "Google deciding it can't do business in a country that sponsors attacks on its systems."

Just 16 cores short of having one per chessboard square, like the pioneering parallel chess machine Hitech... https://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/HiTech?f=print http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.126...

It's what economists call "signaling." It tells people, "there's a human behind this, not just lawyers." (Your inner lawyer is probably preparing to retort, "lawyers are humans, too!" QED.)
