Because in this instance, the argument/discussion is about the phone specifically, not Google Maps. When my phone is on stand-by, like when I'm driving and not using the GPS, the phone will rely on less battery-taxing things like

Thanks for the response, I read a post on the mongo-user group , and that's what I noticed, that a number of features are ported as and when necessary. Don't read what I say in a very negative sense, because I'm mostly curiou

Not advocating MongoDB, but I think if we base our opinions solely on how things were 2 years ago, we would end up still basing our opinions on how things were 10 years ago. Software breaks, 'poor' design decisions are made, etc,

Yea, they bought it. Doesn't that give them the right to call it their own product? Will that always apply to future Nest products, or is it only for the ones that existed at the time of acquisition? If 'we' acquire something

I don't follow, should we then rename everything to cryptic, short characters like some people do in MongoDB (as someone suggested using n_m instead of node_modules)? If it works well in other platforms, it's an issue with that sp

In what context are you referring to the "compute in advance offline" part? Sometimes it's costly to compute things in advance and store them, when you might not need them. If storage space becomes a concern, then Google woul

So no schema means no validation of data for conformance? I thought these "NoSQL", or rather the ones that explicitly state to be schema-less don't do such. People who take the lack of schema as the licence to throw data into

Schema-less also means that you can afford to have deviations in your schemas not hinder your development needs. I agree with you, but I'd venture to say that a schema-less database means what it does, but that a collection of data alw
