Nobody's arguing that the product isn't solid. Such claims are just a recipe for negative attention and are almost certainly not correct. And actually it'd be very odd for a marketing team to not verify their front page claim

"A database literally ten times faster than existing NoSQL solutions, and one hundred times faster than existing SQL solution". The odds of that claim being true and/or supported by benchmarks is somewhere well below the 1% m

A very promising start and I'm very much in favor of the "randomly click to learn" approach to teaching the game rules. Can do without the comments between levels though.

My sentiments exactly.

It's interesting how that sort of thing actually hurts the article. When I skimmed through that code I got stuck on "Why is this Fibonacci implementation so verbose?" rather than the actual topic of the paragraph in question.

You're not wrong but you're isolating the cost of commenting a certain piece of code. It's really about the net time investment. If you create comments the idea is that code maintenance in the future is easier and/or int

It's not always a matter of being able to write clean, simple code. In fact in my experience ability is hardly ever a factor. You may not have enough time, you may have to use complex counter-intuitive APIs, the business requirements m

I immediately assumed this was Amazon Glacier based when I read your post and that is nothing but an extremely good design decision on your part. You've created a very useful product on top of very sound existing technology. You don&#x

That is taking the "wrong tool for the job" thing to such spectacular heights that I can't help but admire it.

Just gave it a go. Quite a fun game actually. My compliments to the author. Some feedback that may be of use : 1) Use thicker lines, preferably in a color that contrasts better with white (although it'll be fine if the segment width is

Amazing project! Does anyone know why a (2D?) map will need at most four colors while avoiding neighboring areas with the same color?

I know nothing about font design and rendering and I most likely will never need this knowledge but that was quite a fascinating pre-coffee read

I think pretty solid arguments can be made for the position that the Linux Foundation approach is the better route actually.

I think it's spectacularly naive to assume LibreSSL will be widely adopted beyond FreeBSD just because it's a cleaner codebase.

I suppose what's really tiring is that this sort of writing is upvoted by enough people to make it hit the front page. The magic formula is basically : "Bait title" + "personal opinion that is not necessarily backed by a

That seems a questionable measurement. In their reasoning quality of life goes up if a "variable taking value 1 if country has either high rate of church attendance or trade-union membership" goes up. There is not a developed coun

Doesn't comparing income after tax make it a bit of an apples and oranges comparison to begin with? Those taxes don't disappear. Those taxes buy services (national healthcare and free education comes to mind) that US middle clas

Given the title I expected a completely different article. The reason being that the opinion that "MongoDB is running out of time" can be supported by a few very strong arguments. There are a few very serious problems with the cur

This is almost certainly questionable programming rather than an issue with Java performance in general. Java is the language most beginning programmers start with and they'll do things like create wildly inefficient methods that they

I'm participating and I have to say at first glance I'm a little bit disappointed about the format which seems to limit the possible strategies significantly. Too early to judge though.
