   That was a great book that got me into CouchDB. I think the original authors of that book, primarily Damien Katz and J. Chris Anderson, left for Couchbase. Today's CouchDB has different motives than the one that book was written for. C

   My thoughts exactly. I'm not sure who CouchDB is supposed to be for anymore. The original developers who fell in love with it are moving on. Who is the audience for 2.0? Who does IBM hope to reach with Cloudant? BTW, you are spot on ab

   Does anyone have any numbers on the cost difference between standard vs flexible app engine usage? Flexible environment supports any language/environment you want as long as you implement the HTTP endpoints it expects. I would be much

   Can't upvote this enough. The new "insert card" bullshit is a perfect example of a small group of powerful companies having a monopoly and being completely out of touch with the wants of their users. We took an obsolete magne

    Sorry, I'm getting a bit too buzz wordy. What I meant was that CouchDB is unique in that it can be run as a peer-to-peer database. Master-Master is when a database can have two authoritative sets. Compare that to Master-Slave where one

    This is awesome. I've been dabbling in a similar concept using CouchDB. Have you thought about using something like CouchDB to enable easy master-master replication of data between users? Also, is any part of this open source? Thanks!

    This was also part of the UFC's argument to help regulate MMA. They kept a small number of rounds, a point system, and refs who could call a match when someone stopped protecting themselves. This, along with no strikes to the back of t

    Jon Jones was allowed to keep righting with a hyperextended elbow... and he won. He had to take a big chunk of time off to recover afterwards but he was fighting again.

    Seems that managed VM's are the future of App Engine. Looking at their feature matrix, it appears that the primary benefit of old-sandboxed apps is that they launch within milliseconds, versus minutes in managed VM's ( https:&#x2F
