The write performance comes down to lack of clustered indexes on PostgreSQL. So yeah, it'll have better INSERT performance, but the queries will be slower. There's really no way around that. A large data set on disk that's ou

PostgreSQL doesn't have clustered indexes, materialized views, partitioned views, or a sane backup/restore procedure. If you're already a licensed MSSQL customer, I'm not sure what advantages PostgreSQL could really ha

The way I've understood it: Prototyping maybe be an effort to develop Requirements. It should not be used to develop a Product.

That's not an example of a strongly typed method in Ruby. That's an example of an assertion (most likely implemented in C). Though in hindsight you're right anyways. Methods define an implicit type for the arguments they oper

An empty List would have to be a List first. So an Instance. But at that point you'd be facing a significant challenge to ensure it's both Immutable and still a List (or Array, whatever). But your definition of "expressive&qu

There's nothing about dynamic typing that prevents declaring types right? Because in Ruby you while you can extend an instance, you can not taketh away Types from it. IOW, Ruby could use the Scala syntax I wrote, and still be just as D

In Ruby you can't express the concept of an empty List through a Type. When comparing statically typed languages to non, that's generally what "expressiveness" means to me. Any idea can be expressed through expressions i

That's true. But in practice I've come to the idea it's a meaningless distinction if you're not going to bother to declare the types on your methods/functions. Instances may be Strongly typed in Ruby. Methods ar

As someone who worked with Ruby since ~1.8.1, has written a ridiculous amount of OSS Ruby and now works mostly in Scala, this is the exact opposite of my experience. YMMV, but I've never seen the Ruby project that didn't suffer fr

I'm 99% sure that's not the default and you've turned on some option to notify everything. Otherwise there'd be no point of @all and @here if you were going to be notified anyways.

We switched from Hipchat (buggy in the beginning, smooth and ideal at the end) to Hall (a buggy, slow, awful mess) to Slack (also slow, but not buggy, and awful UX). Hipchat gets notifications right. Slack and Hall seem to have (in)sane def

Maybe you just need to reinstall it? I just took a peek at it on my new laptop (which has never had anything but Yosemite installed on it) and it worked fine.

I'm not at all in favor of dropping meat. But unless I'm mistaken I think you're implying that by removing beef production, you'd have to substitute it with additional vegetable or grain production. Where I think the pro

No. Atom is a text-editor with plugins. It's no more a competitor for IntelliJ than UltraEdit was a competitor to Visual Studio.NET. (IMO) But I was actually talking about in-browser environments like CodeAnywhere.

PostgreSQL has been speculated to get "it'll be all better RSN" failover for as long as I've been using it (around 8.4 IIRC). ;-) But yeah, what made FoundationDB's SQL-Layer exciting (for me) was: - For small clust

Clustered Indexes. Data in-index. Restoring your database should not be measured in hours for just millions of rows. Statement generation for backups? IF you had clustered indexes you'd never finish restoring.
