If I can pluck your brain for a little, do you think LMDB would be a good option as a back end for time series analysis?

I'm looking forward to all the "Why I switched from Go to XXX" posts in three years. Same thing will probably happen to node.js pretty soon. It has already been happening to MongoDB for quite some time. Go is currently in it

Are you insinuating that Drupal lacks page caching? Because that would be a patently false statement.

And you know what the funny thing is? Drupal's UI/UX is usually often vastly superior to most other popular content management systems. I've had the 'pleasure' of working with a variety of content management systems

Improve the contrast! The site is not very legible. At first I thought this was some kind of bad joke. The site title overlaps with "Signup/Signin" when the browser window is too small. The webfont in use looks horrible on Wi

The hyperbole of your blog post really annoys me. The urge to generate traffic lessens the quality of the overall discussion here on hn and within the larger programming community. As an author with every post and submission you make a cons

I'm somewhat astounded that Bushido Blade (1997) for the PS1, after all those years, still seems to be the most innovative sword fighting game out there.

You're not missing anything. Spotify is horrible for artists. I usually discover new music through SoundCloud and niche web sites. I buy music directly through services like Bandcamp. I make a conscious effort to find musicians and pro

Most trendy, fashionable and 'glamorous' jobs are like this. A lot of suckers want to get into the field, and the employers know this. I know people who work in haute-couture shops. They typically clock in 14+ hours per day, and regularly w

You have it the wrong way. You are paying exactly nothing to "help them out". Money is being borrowed through the EFSF and EFSM and being lent to Ireland et al. This money goes directly to the bondholders of the defunct banks. These bondhol

This was clear to anyone that followed the development of the game. It was made clear in many developers interviews and videos about the GlassBox engine. Hell, there are official developer videos that describe the GlassBox engine in detail

I dislike data binding with a vengeance. From Windows Forms, to Web Forms, to WPF, to Swing, to QT QML, to AngularJS. I don't think this pattern will ever work for me.

This guy switched to a web application framework, not another CMS. Whenever Drupal is discussed, I see people comparing it to Rails, Django and other web application frameworks. I don't get it. The CMS market is entirely different from the

There are a lot of visual programming environments that are used in the creative industries, environments such as MAX/MSP, Pure Data, Houdini (CGI / FX) or NI Reaktor... When I look at a complex Reaktor instrument (for instance Razor[1]), t

What are those powerful GUI engines you talk of? I'm generally interested because most "modern" GUI frameworks seem to be huge, bloated and utterly messy. Conceptually, XML/QML/XAML and databinding, as used in QTQuick or WPF on the desktop,

The guy isn't ranting. The article is matter-of-fact in tone. The mebi-/gibi-/...-byte (metric) definition was standardized rather late (late 90's). By that time the general public was already accustomed to the (now wrong) binary interpreta

I think people mean that in the current environment and configuration of the team, they are indispensable. And that of course, can be true. The team would not be able to function without them. Of course a company can always find another foo

I'm a programmer. Dataflow programming is of interest to me and I'm currently trying to put reactive programming into practical use. I think in a way all those roads lead to functional programming. Of course, in an enterprise world most peo
