Personally I think that most of these questions are horrible and as somebody being interviewed, I'd be a little bit annoyed at a company trying to make me jump through hoops. I'm sure there are tons of developers that can sort arrays like t

What pisses me off is when SaaS offers aren't offering a pricing model that would actually fit for me althoug it wouldn't be a technical difference to them. I'm currently trying to move away from gmail to something else that also offers me

A blog is 99+% anonymous users with a comment every now and then. Your database shouldn't receive more than 20-30 requests every minute and varnish / nginx should take care of all of the traffic. I never understood why people had problems w

True, if I had more time I would have added I2P too. Since the thesis was only 12 out of 30 credits in that semester, I opted for looking at the anonymizing properties of 'regular' file-sharing software and software with anonymity as a main

This wasn't a thesis on anonymous P2P networks themselves, I was only looking at end-user compatible, actual implementations of file-sharing software rather than overlay networks. I should have probably clarified that a bit more. I was also

I remember adding it to my "read later" list at some point in the past, but that's an ever growing stack of PDF files :) While I can't say anything about it from a networking point of view, a big problem is that there is no easy "how can I

For people interested in the more "anonymous" parts of filesharing, I wrote my Bachelor's thesis on the subject: http://blog.marc-seeger.de/2008/07/23/the-current-state-of-a... It's a bit dated at this point, but still give an ok overview

It used to be that parallel tests bundled up the tasks in "groups" and went one group at a time. e.g. 12 tests on 4 cores ==> 4 groups with 3 tests each. The problem was that some of the groups might have ended up with tests that take 5

Speaking of salary negotiations, there is something I always wondered about the US: What is the difference in "pure" salary vs additional costs to the empolyer? Things like 401k contributions and benefits (e.g. dental or health) certainly c

Could you point me to that plugin? (I assume it's a river. Searching for "couchbase river elasticsearch" doesn't really return anything though.)

by rb2k_ 15y ago
Oh... that is a shame. I also got confused by the elasticsearch repo in the couchbase project on github: https://github.com/couchbase/elasticsearch I don't see any external commits though

by rb2k_ 15y ago
I looked at couchbase and it seems somewhat user-friendly. The way to preview your created views by using only a subset of data is nice. Another nice thing is the split into ?16? different databases that allow compaction to occur on a small

Is it? I think all that means is: "Your browser should support hardware accelerated CSS3 and have a fast Javascript VM". Isn't the standards-centric view pretty much the opposite of the browser-centric one?

I currently run a setup where I interact with CouchDB and have ElasticSearch use the couchdb river plugin [0] to pretty much replicate an exact copy of the data for ad-hoc queries. There have been times when I thought about just interacting

It has to be noted that a lot of the >referential< constraints are just necessary because an RDBMS wants you to split your "object" over several tables. What I found pleasant with the non-relational databases is that these constrain
