Funny thread! MongoDB's query performance is typically sub millisecond, and rarely as much as 5ms. I don't think you can through the postgres/mysql parser in 5ms, much less optimizer, planner, and execution stack. Couple th

1. Why are you still mourning YC'14? 2. Why are you asking for uninformed advice on a public forum? In situations like these, I like the Mathew Looks rule. Mathew was a USCF expert on my high school chess team, trying to teach me to be

The two most interesting things about this article to me were unstated. 1. The TPC-H benchmark is measured in price-for-performance ($/QphH, or dollars per queries-per-hour). At 4 seconds for Q6, he's getting ~900 queries per hou

Not following your assertion. Suppose the reported size was always a random epsilon larger than the actual size. Choose epsilon so that its small enough to benefit from compression and large enough to obscure the BREACH. Why doesn't

"Dessert first" I LOVE that. Doing what you want to do the most may not get the right things done, but I bet it gets the most things done.

I like it. Wish it was a little further along... so you must be doing something right.

Love this, and will try it myself. Thanks for sharing!

Amusing post! Linus makes a nice point about finding ways to work together without imposing expectations on each other. OTOH, Linus seems to expect that everyone has "names will never hurt me" world view. Most of us can be deep

Raising my glass to stackoverflow! It had done more to improve my productivity than anything else. Jeff Atwood and the whole community have changed the world for the better. Why is it that stackoverflow is so much more useful than experts

1. A few weeks ago, President Obama said he would discuss the issue of cyber-espionage during his meeting with the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping. 2. At about the time of their meeting, two separate stories of massive US Govt surveillance of it

Really? Even if it NEVER produces the right answer? How is it useful then? A [inner|left|right|outer|cross|natural|whatever] join B NEVER produces a result that is in either A or B. It produces something larger, that wasn't it A or B bef

sigh... this is totally wrong... as Jeff himself kinda realized with his comment "There's also a cartesian product or cross join, which as far as I can tell, can't be expressed as a Venn diagram" SQL does have set operations, and the Venn d

The question is like asking "why do I need an operating system"? Or why live in a society with government services and laws instead of living alone off the land? Databases are most valuable when there's more than one user at the same time,

The databaser in me wonders about the applicability of a two-phase commit protocol. Suppose PG/YC (s/PG/{FW or BF or ...}) acted in the role of a transaction coordinator. Instead of sending confirmation messages directly to each other, the

Wow. It's SO beautiful! And I love the care you took to show me how to use it. I have no idea if I'll continue use it on a daily basis (Trello for now), but it's fun, and pretty. Well done, and thank you!

Gotta love a happy ending... and the courage to put 25% of revenue at risk. The sub-30 minute response time does feel good on the receiving end.

by quizotic 14y ago
Wonderful! My favorite was the 1-month rise/fall in revenue (scary), followed by the context. So true! Questions re the pricing tier slides: (a) did you experiment with the prices & number of tiers? It would be interesting to hear you

Silver attempts a dispassionate analysis. Her post simply asserts what she believes to be the problem with the housing bubble and ensuing meltdown, without much evidence or analysis. She may be right. But Silver's larger point is evidence-

Patent, shmatent. What currently exists SUCKS. How many users have to complain before someone gets a glimmer of a clue that MAYBE they should try ANYTHING ELSE.

This was my story, 13 years ago. I did all the care with two kids, 4 and 7. It would have been great to have help. But the thing that the article misses is the proportion. If the suckiness of death and dying is normalized to -100, then h
