Swearing is like putting a spice on your sentence. Overdo it and you'll come across too bold and brash. Use is carelessly for anything and it loses its significance. But use it just on things that deserve emphasis, and it shines in a p

That's interesting thanks for sharing. I've used Elasticsearch and found all the configuration tuning daunting, but I'm sure I would go through that with Solr as well. I never used ES as a primary data store and I had jobs sy

Genuine confusion here -- how can you assert time is real? From my limited understanding, time is merely the measurement of change. A comet goes from point A to B, and like a screen flickering, it is in a discrete point in space every step

Would be curious to hear what Elasticsearch is doing wrong if you don't mind. I have no dog in the fight, I just always hear good things.

I would advise learning to enjoy the taste of coffee. Yes, all people are different but most people come to develop a taste for tea & coffee, which becomes a rewarding hobby of sorts.

Sure, but looking at their historic revenue, you're going from ~1.8B between 2007 - 2009 down to ~1.1B 2011-present[1]. In fact, their latest quarter for Mar 2016 only netted them 1.08B. This is a ton of money and I reckon they could l
