Summary of an article about how "SQL Databases Don't Scale": 1. Mentions RAID, not SAN 2. Mentions MySQL and only MySQL (with the exception of PostgreSQL once). 3. Mentions Master-slave replication as a killer scalability feature.

Being ideologically for open software and an open operating system is not the same as "hating Microsoft with a passion". Mixing these two different concepts into the same bag is misleading, as the first one represents an ideological convict

would probably like to avoid the expense involved in not only finding and/or designing a Theora decoder Not to mention H.264 was designed with hardware decoding in mind, while Ogg Theora was not. From reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/prog

Agreed. I also fund it hard to sympathize with these startups having ambitions to scale to Google-like sizes, yet are unwilling to pony up cash for a proper database system like Oracle or SQL Server. Seeing the amount of ugly hacks people a

While I mostly agree with what you say, I have to admit I find hacker news a tad heavy when it comes to overhyping whatever language fashionable this month. Also I have about zero interest in startups and venture capitol etc etc, unless som

Wow. A wrapper class for MD5 and SHA functions? A non-standard library for a standard library? That's it? I realize this is Objective-C and hence it even works on the iPhone which gives it some sort of pseudo-cool alibi and blah blah, but a

Protecting every single packet on the internet... Isn't this why we have IPSec? I would also say he misses the mark on why https/SSL is underemployed: Either you have to pay outrageous sums of money for wildcard certificates or you have to

I fail to see how doing basic HTTP operations from the command-line constitutes anything new, and seriously doubt anyone would care about this at all had it not been about twitter.

Windows 7 has lots of new features which appeals to the corporate market compared to Windows XP. You have more options for locking down workstations with GPOs, you have UAC which improves security. Searching for stuff is miles ahead of Wido

Why, because companies force Windows on their users Using the word "force" seems odd to me and seems to indicate you have a bias against Windows which is based more on personal preference rather than rationality. It is a companies right t

If you honestly believe that, you have either a) never worked in any company with more than 10 employees or b) have serious issues with reality. In either case, not the kind of person I would take advice from.

I'm not sayin MySQL is that bad, but I exclusively hear this kind of advice and anti-DB rhetoric from people running MySQL and MySQL only, who are complaining about scaling. MySQL may be able to perform better, as I haven't done in depth te

MySQL can hardly be called representative for good relational databases. That MySQL is underfeatured and performs like shit for any non-trivial query is hardly news.

Just for starters, your ORM will model an object for a row of data, how many times do you get the whole row when you're really interested in just a column or two? Does your ORM let you just specify the parts of the row you're interested in

I fail to see how using a proven solution like relational databases involves hassles with scaling.

That sharding is required once your DB exceeds what you have of physical RAM seems to be a irrevocable meme in the MySQL world. Seeing the amount of people generalizing that to apply to all RDBMSs makes me think they don't have any DB-knowl

To be honest I don't think google is being entirely fair here. Google provides me with a service . In that respect I don't care how that service is provided and on what technology that is based. It could be a giga-cluster of retrofitted Co

The fact that someone is complaining over a service Microsoft is offering rather than ignoring it shows that they have indeed done something well with bing. Now if they would only expand on their localization efforts so I could actually tak

views & stored-procedures being requirements are blanket generalizations that are arguable at best. I hate to break it to you, but for any complex data representation you will have to make abstractions to work with it efficiently and

Yeah. It's pretty much like MySQL all over, except this time they are doing something new which doesn't have any absolute, proven references out there, so you have to argue on a philosophical level why they are on the wrong track instead of

I would have called this "a story about the fall of SCO", rather that "The origin story of robots.txt".Robots.txt is really just mentioned in a passer-by sentence in the middle of whole thing. That being said, it was a interesting enough re

If that is a "smoking gun", I hope nobody from groklaw will serve jury duty, ever. This was reallly, really weak and an embarassment to read.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that his main complains about XML is 1. that it is verbose and 2. requires too much resources to process. And then he proceeds to writing 10 pages trying to express this?

My point was that in a world where users click anything blindy, including "yes please downloand and install malware", security involves more than just being proof to exploits. You may not fall for such silly tricks. I know I sure don't. How
