Seems to be a fairly popular opinion and I have to agree with him. It tries so hard to be a business/productivity device with the built in kickstand and keyboard. Yet the software is all consumer right now. I do think over time once the sof

SAP HANA might be an option. Expensive but nicely implemented.

Concatenating JS doesn't make sense when you are site like Apple. They have a lot of mini sites that are quite different from each other e.g. Store, iPad, Home Page, Support, Developer that you may access directly and which may have 90% of

Sorry but none of what you said is true. There may be bugs and bugs in the past. But there is no systemic "this FS will lose data under heavy use" design fault. If there was then millions of people would have been affected. And of course Ap

That was before universities were properly resourced. Universities desperately need to commercialise their research in order to survive.

Because the tablet iOS ecosystem is far, far, far better than Androids. There are plenty of great iPad specific apps.

Apparently iCloud is multi cloud (AWS and Azure). But regardless it's not like all of EC2 went down just one or two AZs. So why couldn't traffic be migrated transprently to other AZs/regions ?

by taligent 14y ago
Seriously THIS has to be addressed. I can tolerate EC2/EBS going down but why on earth is ELB/Console always going down at the same time ?

Well clearly they have a lot of work still to do: https://status.heroku.com/ Complete outage of an AZ shouldn't ever take services offline.

The JVM will be around for decades to come. Java as a language is still dominant in the enterprise and the growth of Scala/Groovy will see it branch into new areas. Oracle has been a fantastic steward of the platform to date so overall ther

Thank you for that insightful post. I always look to UI designers for macroeconomic advice. My favourite bit is where he offers no evidence, no objective sources and absolutely nothing but talking points.

Australia. Maybe Tasmania for something different ? Otherwise Thailand would be nice. Cheap. Great food. Decent internet in parts. Good beach. Bali will suck a bit because of all the tourists (Bali is Australia's Cancun). But inland it is m

Just because you can write an app using assembler doesn't mean it is the best way to do it.

Yes. There is no rational explanation for people using the right tool for the right job. Let me guess. You would build a skyscraper using a trough and cement in a bucket ?

PostgreSQL is the PAST and it will forever remain there until it solves its biggest problems. It is the hardest out of all databases I've used to cluster, replicate, shard and manage. And the database world is moving towards scaling horizon

MongoDB is a JSON document store. Almost all other NoSQL are key/value type stores. If you have a use case that centres around storing document style data then MongoDB will be better suited.
652.
by taligent 14y ago
But you are talking more about key/value model. Which I see as a different use case to document model. And PostgreSQL HSTORE seems like a bit of a hack to me. It has a ridiculously complex syntax and still not sure how it handles querying o

Agreed. It's hilarious to watch people who keep trying to setup this RDBMS versus NoSQL situation. As though every data model can be perfectly handled by a RDBMS if only I learnt enough SQL.

Faster ? NO. In my use case I have one domain object with 30 embedded relationships. MongoDB: one request. SQL: 30 joins. Durable ? NO. It is trivial to distribute data between multiple nodes using MongoDB and have writes be on some or all

Sorry but the only thing child-like is your idea that Apple would make such an important decision on a whim. These are multi-billion dollar decisions affecting the big cash cows of Apple's business.

What help can we provide. Apart from the whole "making it work part". Is there something in particular that is difficult ?
