What benefit would they get from using cloud? A lot more money for much worse performance. It's like buying a monthly bus pass when you could buy a Honda Civic for less. Despite what Cloud providers want you to think, scaling (for most

Sure, but it's fun to talk about how you'd build it given some assumptions. I agree with your parent that it seems like a shardable dataset. To boot, I imagine that you could easily store all cars for a city/region in memor

You mean, akin to the redis documentation? http://redis.io/commands/sort "Time complexity: O(N+M*log(M)) where N is the number of elements in the list or set to sort, and M the number of returned elements. When th

In fairness, your parent introduced the word "persistence" to this discussion, but I think you're misunderstanding queues if you think the two are interchangeable. Two things you often want are at-least-once delivery and the

From a pure market point of view, I'd prefer they got rid of subsidies (direct and indirect) first.

Yes, it is. "If you’re used to designing and deploying applications in your own data centers, you need to be prepared to unlearn a lot of what you know." Which is it? Did it save them money because they didn't have to "b

Not sure that I buy into the argument that negotiating salary is "competitive thinking". The goal is to reach a compromise that everyone is happy with, which, to me, seems rather cooperative.

Tangentially, what's impressive about Shanghai's metro is how quickly it became the longest. It essentially went from nothing to the longest in 15 years. Compared to the 20 years it took the Big Dig, or my own home city which has

not to mention that it's so little memory that you can treat the live version as read-only and swap in new versions.

No. It could be simple ignorance. Or an accident. In your world, what is it at worst? Criminal? Capital?

KFC is definitely more popular than McDonalds in Asia. Chicken and pork are much more popular than beef. I've always assumed it had to do with the stupendously inefficient nature of beef in terms of cost & land.

It isn't XHTML. Closing <p> tags are optional (which is true for many tags). You don't even need opening HTML, HEAD or BODY tags.

We learned that you can't configure your way out of impedance mismatches. You can certainly make your life easier, but only at the cost of also making it harder. You essentially need language-level support for dealing with data at your

I'm a fan of Go and have been using it for a [relatively] long time across various large and small systems. I really like it. To me, what's been abundantly clear is that: it's a horrible choice for types of apps a lot of peop

Quality is more important than quantity. Since you didn't provide links, all I can do is say that I'll always look at any provided samples/source.

Your comments vex me. I don't mean for this to be an attack, but clearly you ARE willing, so why would you say you aren't? We all want to do more.

Really? According to wiki, India's middle-class makes anywhere from $10 to $50 per day. When you factor in that this will cost a lot more than $3500, would these really sell like crazy?

According to Wiki, the US gets 10x+ the almond yield by weight per hectare versus Spain. (Not saying it justifies the use of water, just providing the numbers).

Unodered, in-memory queues shouldn't be anyone's goto solution. I think there's a time and place for these, and having at-least-once delivery is a huge win over just using Redis, so I'm excited. Still, unless you know ex

It isn't uncommon for Canada to quote a debt-to-GDP ratio based solely on federal debt. It isn't how most countries calculate their debt. Depending on exactly what you do include, Canada's debt-to-GDP is anywhere from 80% to
