Back then I built systems with Xenix on a PC-AT that had three simultaneous users, one on the console and two WYSE-60 terminals attached to the serial ports. The system ran a database server and the applications that I built to manage facto

Salesforce has successfully deployed multitenancy SaaS at a huge scale, and they have all tenants sharing the same tables. Every row in every table has an Organization-ID column and all queries include the Org Id to keep the data separated.

Usually an RDBMS like PostgreSQL is used in an environment that has a different usage pattern than search. SOLR can take advantage of specializing for that type of usage. However, Russia's largest search engine, Yandex, seems to like P

If you've ever been interviewed by the media, you will be shocked at what they publish. Distortion of the message is ingrained even when the topic is totally non-political. The media is mostly about doing a "rush-job". Hurry

What makes you think that Facebook is censoring you rather than an employee of Facebook who is being paid by somebody else? This is a classic technique of subversion. You don't have to control an organization or get their leaders on yo

Russia has several rivers that flow south, and one of them, the Yenisei, does reach down close to Northern China. The Yenisei valley is also known to be a corridor for cultural migration in more recent times.

If you do not want to use SQLITE to solve this problem then download the SQLITE source code and copy the way that they achieve these guarantees. Stand on the shoulders of the giants who have come before us.

How can you call them zero-day exploits when the people who "have them" can't even keep their "top secrets" secret? I expect the other guys have them as well.

Great idea. But it would be a mistake to start with GOF because GOF is not the beginning. I first encountered patterns reading Christopher Alexander's books, "A Pattern Language" and "The Timeless Way of Building".

Seems that we need a tool to crawl all the repos that a developer owns and report lines of code in each package that they wrote. If there are lots of small packages, then this is not the kind of person you want to hire, except maybe to do P

They do NOT encourage code re-use because the effort required to understand your need, refrain from writing code, and hunt down a module in npm, far outweighs the effort to just write the code and stick it in your in-house utils library.

Agreed. Most development groups should be building a local collection of utilities that contains all of these snippets, and most importantly, some documentation of what they do and some unit tests to demonstrate that they are correct. No ne

We already have the immutable repo that you are looking for. We do all our builds from a caching proxy server that pulls in new binary objects when we need them, but serves up the old one for the 99% majority of repeat builds. Artifactory i

Seems to me that the real driver of currency devaluation is the price of oil. By devaluing you protect your economy from big shocks because the price of oil stays unchanged, in the local currency. Russia did the same and has managed to main
