   Thanks for your response! I think it addressed my comments well. It does make me think about the fact that almost every major DB today runs out of process and that the market seems to have selected this pretty definitively. It seems li

   Okay I have been thinking about your response for a while... Database engines already possess sophisticated scheduling logic for query processing. We are constantly taking advantage of that, in different ways, when we delegate to the datab

   Thanks for your response. I think I understand your point re: cores, although I wouldn't have used the argument quoted above, instead I would just make the point in your response - we have all these cores, gotta use them. Since I found som

   I just remembered a philosophy prof. mentioning it. The phrase "the least integer not nameable in fewer than nineteen syllables" is a direct quote from Berry, I think.

   Honest question - before you complained, did you make any effort to understand the origins of Hacker News, and why it exists? Before stomping on a flower, you might endeavor to understand something about the soil it sprang from; as well as

    Loans don't really meet the criteria of "making" money, but just in case the posted is really more cash-flow oriented: A vendor recently told me he had taken out a short term bank loan based on my company's purchase order. If you think abou

    This is why I don't buy Apple products in the first place... their ethics as a company are not exactly news. Don't be surprised at what happens when you give money to a tyrant. Since I'm probably about to be downvoted out of existence by A

    This would be pretty brilliant, if it didn't amount to characterizing the people you're trying to reach as stupid and/or bamboozled into wasting their time.

    This is meaningless without comparing to non-developers, or the general population. For all we know from this data, developers may like beer less than non-developers. Combine this with the problems cited by jmduke, and I'm not sure it i

    "80% of everything written about SEO on the internet is bullshit" This is simply a corollary of Sturgeon's Law. It applies to every field and topic. The advice to not read anything seems like the wrong response. Did you learn which 80% i

    In my experience, it's hard to evaluate this with NoScript because you typically whitelist domains as you go. There is probably a Pareto distribution here... whitelisting a handful of domains will cover 80% of your web browsing. Once you

    I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but what many of those authors seem to have in common is, in my opinion, that they embrace the narrative fallacy. They tell a story that is plausible, seems to fit trends in real data, and satisfie
