Your response implies that structured data, including numbers, are a somehow a problem for CouchDB, but that's just not the case. Validating data is something you can and should do before saving it in the DB and with CouchDB that would

That is just silly. Reminds me of the old saying; "When all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail."

"The application is literally tables of relational data with multiple simultaneous users" How is this data "relational"? Each precinct has 3 numbers to submit for each candidate, that's not a big task for one person

The window is pretty small to create a conflict in a well designed CouchDB interface because of the way revisions are used. You should get the latest revision when you load the data for editing. And it's trivial to set a "locked&q

With CouchDB you could have all that data in 1678 human readable files. Or 1678 password protected databases with one or more human readable files in them and let CouchDB handle user auth, which CouchDB makes really easy. You could do the s

It's basically a "KISS" issue. The data being submitted is so simple that using an SQL db adds a layer of unnecessary complexity. So did their decisions for authentication, which appears to be where things got stuck.

Wow! That provides some great info on this. Still leaves me wondering if the end result wasn't by design though. It's kind of hard to buy into the "Opps" explanation.

Where I live we use paper ballots that are both scanned and tallied on sight by a machine when submitted, then hand counted by volunteers at a central location that anyone can observe. I'm pretty comfortable with that.

I think the author's take on this is a bit heavy with hyperbole, but there's no doubt Iowa was a mess last night. My son was there working as volunteer, and so was his ex-girlfriend, who's still a close family friend. I was c

I read this like I would read Mark Twain, or Vonnegut, or Steinbeck. It's not about what I do for a living, or have done for one. It's a collection of thoughts and feelings based on the experiences of a character's life. This

I really don't know the answers to that, but I did do a bit of testing on my old Mac Mini (late 2009, 8GB ram). I wrote a script that created 1000 documents that were pretty small just a few k at most. The app I wrote using pouchdb to
