Tweets are fanned out to more than a single feed and, in the "most important" cases, millions of feeds -- 31 million feeds for Lady Gaga. Your comparing 300K reads, which might not even include the sub-queries, to 12.7M writes. A

So, now we also have to assume per-core software and support licenses to accompany our purchase of several $10M racks? What platform are we talking about now? Presumably I have to also purchase the IDE and toolchain licenses, per developer,

They may average 6K w/s, but history has shown higher peaks, and those peaks often include tweets from those with large 30e6+ followers -- large events naturally have celebrities chiming in. Having more CPU [cores], RAM, and IO is not

As the article is old, these versions are really dated. There have been numerous improvements to these platforms; some comparisons are no longer valid or can be seen as opinionated. For example, ElasticSearch is supported by much more than

My parents were rather "amused" that I could almost be failing a class that taught you how to Open a document, bold text, and save, while at the same time as having self-made business cards and brochures and revenue from teaching

Your co-worker should know that both are available via an extension and native DevTools, respectively.

As a developer, I couldn't possibly say with a straight face that a codebase like FF's or Chrome's, in size and language, are immune to leaks. I'm speaking about them the way every armchair developer has attacked FF over

Not bugs, but features. And frankly -- sorry to be short -- everything Chrome has (or doesn't yet). I and my colleagues use just about everything. I see a lot of these things landing in the FFs landing in the last week, so I can't

Firefox was and is chided for feeling sluggish, crashing, and the likes. Most assume(d) these problems are related to the memory and process model. As well, the "memory bashing" was largely related to presuming the memory was &quo

I had a H.S. teacher admit to my mother that she was grading me on a scale that included how "distracted" I was by my girlfriend in the class. Little did she know that we had broken up months prior, and every guy in the class was

These mechanical benchmarks may be true, but FF still feels sluggish and the dev tooling still leaves A LOT to be desired. Even in recreational browsing, I tend to use dev tools and would get bothered easily having to open another browser.

You may not know what advocate means, but it can take steps to eradicate DRM, as if it is really always a bad thing. Do I think web video and broadcast TV are different? Absolutely; definitely; unequivocally, yes. Obviously. Maybe not for t

I don't mean to discredit Opera Mini, and I did give it credit for platform compatibility and maybe raw speed. There are numerous reasons the Chrome solution is better for modern, web apps. I can't say for sure about speed, but an

I think your feelings and assertions are valid, but I can't really blame Netflix here, which was my reaction, and I don't really think you meant to paint them in that light. I feel they are hamstrung between staying profitable and

As another child comment identifies, we should not confuse simple with easy. Clients want easy software, and they have little care or understanding of the complexity. That's OK, on its head, but it is our responsibility to share and te

I don't think it's the library; the demo uses `CustomEvent`, external to the lib, which is not supported in IE, as a constructor. I honestly didn't test any of it, but looking at the code was obvious it'd both not work a

Maybe not using Google -- using DDG (or worse)? The results are an order of magnitude richer with the former.
