Only a million people and an unemployment rate of 7.5% (vs BW: 4.5%, Bavaria: 4.6%). But compared to the east, they're doing all right. (also: nice wine and good weather)

Riak Search is in fact great to work with. Something comparable for Cassandra exists with Solandra ( https://github.com/tjake/Lucandra/ ). A major difference is that you'll have to post your documents manually to the Solr Instance running w

And there is already a good "classification" system that you can use to categorize the solutions. There are Column Stores (Cassandra, HBase), KeyValue Stores (Riak, Voldemort), Document Stores (MongoDB, maybe CouchDB), Graph Databases (Neo4

Another interesting introduction I can recommend was written by a friend of mine. It focuses more on the semantic differences to other languages (e.g. prototype based inheritance) as to the syntax: Javascript for people who are in a hurry:

I like the idea of having a git backend for site data, but in the case of the author: why not just use a regular host? There are some pay-for-what-you-use hosts (e.g. https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ ).

Anybody tried using this on HFS+ in OSX? It was horribly slow for me, but it could also have been parameters in the conf that were bad.

My main problem with Java isn't the language itself. I think it's a pretty ok language as far as statically typed ones go. My problem with Java is the way it's currently being used. E.g. using annotations to fix things that the language won

When I was looking at the page, I noticed that the example: { key: "value", dr_nic: "The Comedian", ttl: 42 } didn't seem to use the :symbols I know but omitted the colon. Turns out, it somehow works: > a = {my_key: "my_val

I was shocked too when I came to the US for a few months. In Germany, I just pay 9 cents per SMS/Minute and 10 Euros for a Gigabyte of data (per month). In the US, I had to pay about 50 USD per Month on T-Mobile. It would have been more if
