I see your point. But most people don't want to put whatever and have it work. Most people don't even know what a graphic card is. It's the vendors that want to be everywhere to make more money. But they can't provide th

It depends a lot of the ORM. SQLAlchemy allows you to ditch the ORM when you need it. But instead of going back to raw sql, you just get a DSL like LINK, which is very flexible and can express most of the stuff you could do with manual SQL,

At a given point in time yes, but to get this data set, you need to write it into the DB. Big datasets implies either you have been receiving data for very long of you did it quickly on a shorter period of time. It's usually the later.

Let's say you get 50 writes / sec per node. You need what, 1000 nodes to get to the playing fields of Postgres, with a simpler and cheaper setup ? Right now it's really not competitive, unless they improve the performance 100

This is a very niche use case. The vast majority of projects have neither the user base to arrive to such numbers, no are they I/O challenged. Most companies are not facebook or google. Plus if you manage to do 50 write sec on this DB,

While I love those kind of games, there is always a serious limitations in it : a real human system has a pyramid of humans in charge. They are all able to make independent decisions on a local level, or sometime step in to an upper or lowe

Oh I report bugs all the time. For open source projects. When I pay hundreds of euros for a product I expect it to work. Strangely it something we don't expect for anything related to computing. We have such double standard. If you buy

Right now not really. Cockroach perf don't allow you do have a big dataset given the performances.

You are trying to make me say something I didn't. I specifically said: > This is not to diminish apple's merit. What they do is hard. It's just not revolutionary. You don't need revolutionary to be great. People confu

Plus I found that people using MongoDB tend to not formalize their data schema because the tool doesn't enforce it. But they do have a data schema. Only: - it's implicit, and you have to inspect the db and the code to understand i

The iPod was not revolutionary. Arcos did a superior product before apple. They failed to market it. The iPad and mac air are not revolutionary. They are evolutions of iphone and mac book. A good idea don't make something revolutionary

My though exactly. It's already the case with faster DB. E.G: most projects my customers make me work on will never need scaling on multiple instances. They run really fast on a single postgres instance. One had some perf issues. First

Plus you paid for the computer, graphic card and OS. Why in hell would you spend hours of work on your free time for this ? Do people try to find defects in their car then send a report to Ferrari ?

Even if they manage to multiply this by 100 on the final release, it's still way weaker than a regular sql db. I hope they have another selling point than performance.

So 60% DO have close friends that have a very different culture and language. I find that very positive. I traveled all my life, and I know how hard it is to do it. Well done !

Exactly. If you would have said that this fiction was reality, people would have laugh at you. Actually some people still do. And a lot of people don't care anyway. We are kind of screwed when the majority of the public won't even

Which is a shame, they are missing an opportunity to ditch C/C++ in favor of a safer language and set a precedent in OS history. Imagine how easier contribution would be if you could write the OS parts with less lines, guarantied to no

Do you really want Google, that has DNS, fiber, search engine, emails, calendar, phone contacts, ads, deep learning, app store, CDN, analytics, web browser, maps, power plants to ALSO handle your desktop OS ? That seems very, very dangerous

The UI can adapt to the input devices, that not an OS concern.

They could have written it in Rust. No garbage collection, more security guaranties. Easier to contribute to the code properly.

Google could have taken firefox and improve it to make it better, but they created something new. Now instead of improving the linux stack and the gnu stack (the kernel, wayland, the buses, the drivers), they rewrite everything. They put mi

Python or JS depending of the training. People used their laptop. The others were using PyCharm, notepad++ or Sublime Text. Users of notepad are the slowest of all though. They are usually beginners.

I once was giving a training getting bored, so I timed how long it took for the dev to write down some simple tasks. The guys using vim and emacs were consistently slower than the guys with the IDE with GUIs. I get that you can like vim and

No we would not. I could make easily tons of money by doing spam, advertising, selling viagra only and phishing idiots at macdonalds. I don't do it because it's not the way I want to make money. Last week a friend of mine came aro

It's not a matter of competence, it's a matter of effort. With github, most things are easily discoverable. With email workflow, you have to relearn a whole black boxed, badly documented custom workflow that you will get wrong sev

Generalization doesn't help. Define "easy". For me it's relative. Some stuff are easier than others. There is not an "absolute" easy. My job is 100x easier than most jobs I know. But I know many people making m

If you film something you want to keep for yourself with a phone, you already lost. Film with a camera with no network communication, and keep the only physical copy in a safe.
