Have you actually studied the JSONB capabilities of PostgreSQL and related features such as partial indexes? These things can be used at scale and there is at least one company that has millions of partial indexes in production. And you mig

Not only that but you can use PostgreSQL as a NoSQL and there are benchmarks showing that it outperforms MongoDB. And if you do not want to commit to either SQL or NoSQL, the PostgreSQL has you covered. You can put a JSONB column in any of

I've kept back pain at bay with a simple 3-point plan. Sleep on an uncomfortable bed with a firm surface and a thin futon for padding. Sit on uncomfortable chairs, mostly the wooden kitchen chair type. Lift free weights, i.e. barbells

Note that having a good multi-generational backup system in place for all machines, servers and laptops, would render this kind of ransomware harmless. But the state of IT has deteriorated so badly these days because management doesn't

They should sue the pants off whoever shut down that email address. For many companies it would have been cheaper to pay than to suffer the damage that has already been done. And it would be easier to catch the culprits if people give them

This is not a Java question. If a C compiler can do it then a Java Virtual Machine can do it, provided that the C code of the JVM makes it so. There are many implementations of the JVM so you really should be asking which JVMs do this. Orac

The flask is for small amounts in a lab. An ore processing plant liquifies gases on an industrial scale and if the temperature is low enough, you can keep it in large vats like any other liquid. Of course I am suggesting something in betwee

Liquid air is the same as normal air. During its liquid stage it would be entirely enclosed in pipes. It can be safely expanded using the technology used in mine rescue suits like those from Draegerman. You are confusing it with liquid oxyg

This is why a professional developer needs to document their code. If they don't do that, then they are NOT a professional. Plus they are selling themselves short. If you want to fully learn something you must teach it. By documenting

What has happened to Javascript is the same thing that happened to other fundamental high-level languages before them. It has changed from a high-level language to an assembly language just like C and Java. Of course you canb choose to live

Here is an idea that I sent to the Underground in 2006 when they solicited suggestions from the public. Add cool to the tunnels, rather than taking heat out. Build liquid air plants above ground, 2 or 3 floors up in the air so that the heat

For anything complex it is better to use a real language, not bash. If you are a Scala developer then Scala is a pretty good choice. However lots of folks use Groovy or Python which have the advantage that a wider group of people can learn

There is a github repo. Clone it and build it, after all you are a developer, right? If you want to run Ammonite on Windows the only way is to clone the repo, patch it and build it. You are right to be careful, even paranoid, but the securi

After Byng's execution the British officer corps started acting like people who were defending their homes and families against a vicious foe. Like the people of Donbass in Ukraine for instance. The result is that the British would not

This is precisely the arrogant ignorance that led to the British Navy's shame with Camperdown and Victoria and then the weak showing at Jutland. Real soldiers have respect for their adversary and since they practice war in war games, t

PostgreSQL is not just a tool, it is now an ecosystem as well. There are numerous add-ons to provide various types of high availability. Some are plugins to PostgreSQL and some not. Also, some of these have commercial support if you need it

You said "pretty much". So use PostgreSQL 9.6 and but use JSONB only for the schemaless data but normal typed columns for the rest. And remember that JSONB is a column type so don't try to store too many different things in a

This is a warped idea of what is actually happening. It is not about making developers take on old-style system operations tasks. It is about eliminating those old-style tasks. Nowadays, this is really possible. We can build self-healing so
