Unless I'm missing something totally obvious, many of these reasons might as well be said for SIP.

I realize this is totally derailing the original topic, but I'd just thought I'd correct one incorrect assumption you've made: Fortunately, all ingredients in a recipe are usually given in 'cups'. Not even remotely true. Especially with "

Metric is design by committee, as hacker's we should consider that a mark against it. Just like http really. We should all be rolling our own protocols.

A "cup" is a much easier notion to get your head around than "about 50-70 ml". This opinion can only come from exposure. Whenever I see "one cup" in a recipe I'm 100% baffled. A big cup? A tea cup? One of those larger coffee mugs? Trying

Custom functions mean no caching This only applies if you are using a sub-par database. While caching computationally heavy operations is not always a good choice (since they will need to get updated when more entries are added to the dat

Not too mention that sharding probably is one of those things which might seem clever when your database engine doesn't even have hash joins. I mean, when your DB can't join large result-sets quickly and efficiently in process, why care abo

Too many people think MySQL and its limitations are representative of this technology; it isn't, not by a long way. This is about as true as it is sad, but when your only exposure to relational databases is the least mature and featured o

If the DB can't guess up a good query plan, why not let me simply feed one to it? You speak like good databases wont allow you to override the query-optimizer. Look up optimizer hints. Most real database-systems worth using allows this, b

I guess this is a good place to mention Britney Spear's toxic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9S4O974qQo I find it hilarious because of the total mismatch between the music and video.

Alternative take: Windows 7 beta is such a popular download that with the current demand even MS is having troubles hosting it. I think the rumours about Microsoft's near imminent death is greatly exaggerated.

My point was more that adding RAM isn't to be as good as having an actually good DB which doesn't rape your disk and CPU by using inefficient lookup methods, employing overly broad locks and which fails at transactions. His IO-problem is be

So as long as Moore’s law can give us capacity jumps like that, we can keep the entire working set in memory and all will be good. I'm not going to say "this guy does not know what he is talking about", but what kind of shitty database ar

There is a case to be made for a resilient RAM-only distributed databases, but using memcached is not it. Agreed. With the risk of sounding offensive, these kinds of ideas seems about as informed and rational as some of the arguments I he

Windows has been built to be easily and centrally managed for sys-admins since the days of NT. Linux on the other side has been built modularly and to be absolutely hackable to anyone with a root/admin-account. There is no question what I w

As someone who mainly write (and get to maintain) C# code these days, I have to say C# (nor any other language I've seen) sadly doesn't stop people from writing utter shit code. It does no doubt seems more prominent in the PHP world though.
