Yes but you can't start from scratch without them and do a moderate amount of traffic. If you have the same clean ips from pre dkim/domainkeys days then don't lose them, or it may be an uphill battle which I would be surprise

It's not just corporations that would not think your legitimate but everyone really. These sort of unspoken rules you mention are very largely due to combat spam. If anyone with port 25 open was trusted the amount of spam would be int

You would architect your application to not be so brittle that deploying one wrong package takes the service down. For example if you have to make breaking changes try to make your backend smart enough to handle web2.2 and web2.3. Tools li

This feels akin to saying a subway or hospital or giant computing entity can easily upgrade its mission critical systems. Does not feel realistic. These things tend to move slowly once stable. A client is usually easier to upgrade than a

would you rather have a team of engineers worrying about performance or building features rapidly? there is many shops that would rather have some percentage of less performance if that means software is being built faster and usually with

build something you believe in, that solves a real problem, and gain real traction. if people see the value in what your doing and plan on using it, chances are a big company would too.

depends on your project and its complexity. perhaps one way to improve the approach is instead of thinking about your design and if it's perfect, encourage thought along the lines of "how do we build this so we can change how it w

Yes. Pinterest is big but it's not Amazon, Google or Facebook big. With things like reserved instance pricing, and not having to spend as much money on a physical ops team that can manage real hardware, it leaves room to optimize softw

maybe productivity is irrelevant, and it's simply a case of being overwhelmed because your learning all of these at once? productivity is never as good when your learning something vs when you have mastered it. imagine your working on

I wish you weren't right, but I agree. smoke, mirrors, and consistency. sigh.

The browser tabs have an upper limit sure, because on the client/browser side, it just might be unfeasible to open more than 100 tabs realistically. But, I can assure you, you could open 1000 tabs, and dynamo will be fine, and not lose

There is no SQL triggers in the article you post here. Confused at what your trying to say here. Maybe you can elaborate?

I agree with you in spirit, but it's simply inaccurate to suggest that a shopping cart does not deal with mission critical data. the fact is, Amazon does use Dynamo for a mission critical financial purpose. If Dynamo lost data Amazon

I agree with a lot of the sentiments in this post, but I wouldn't go so far as to say beginners should not learn node at all. (i.e. - stop teaching it to beginners) It boils down to using the right tool for the job. As the author ment

Yes, agreed, if we are talking about straight concurrency only. Other things like replication, are also not there, so it's not what I would choose for a website database, but if you can serve all your reads from one server, and don&#x2

Agreed overall, see my comment above which addresses this. These types of systems typically will never see as many transactions/sec as their “likes” counterparts, for obvious reasons. Having said that, I have worked on some credit car

Let me explain better. As eventually consistent is probably the wrong term for what I mean. In things like a large social media app where the reality is no FKs, and 100k queries-per-second, for instance, you would write into your applicati

What if it is the difference between your schema working under high transaction rates or not? Or, the difference between buying much more database hardware and having smaller shards to avoid index contention. (which, is $$) Facebooks mysql

mysql is good for very high transaction rate platforms, that mostly rely on simple features. for this, it generally outperforms most of its competition in the traditional RDBMS space, and why companies like twitter and facebook use it. my

furthermore, foreign keys are not performant at mass scale on both pg or mysql or any traditional RDBMS. if your trying to do several thousand ops per second, the vector of index contention greatly goes up if there is FKs littered all over

I like a lot of these very much and agree. Thanks for posting.

I share the opinion of the parent comment, pretty much exactly. Some of my comrades call this a layer-8 problem. (hint: there is only 7 technology levels, 8 is the human one). One story in particular my firm was hired to come into a startup

+1 for gobyexample that is my favorite resource, especially once you have broken ground, and are somewhere in-between having all the basics of the syntax mostly mastered, but some of the tidbits of the standard library not yet mastered.

Would you agree that the TL;DR of this is ultimately, since things are so easy right now, you won't learn skills that you pick up only when things are less easy? Not sure where I see the mistake. Sort of reads like its a mistake to no

+1. I love that the android store does not make you wait. Having said that, I hate Android Studio, and Eclipse, and I hate the android simulator too. It makes the development process slower, feels clunky. To each their own, of course.

Can you point to where this is happening more than the after mentioned over-sensitive, reductivist prima-donnas issues? ( I mean in the context of our industry ) Dongle Gate / Pronoun Gate / Opal Gate... whats next? Let me guess:
