Got it now? Don't patronize me. You wrote a screed justifying bombing the hell out of civilians because you didn't like their speech. Somewhere in your moral bankruptcy, you wrote So, in an Islamic country, take away Islam, and there's n

you do not have any hard evidence that this happened Apart from the fact that Madeleine Albright admitted it when she was Secretary of State. You are just being deliberately ignorant now. Oh, and a jackass. That liquidation was not the d

The comments also apply a lot to Iran and Iraq If you think Salafist Afghanistan, Kohmeinist Iran and Baathist Iraq had anything in common then you know jack shit. That's like comparing Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia and the US colonies in C

The US hasn't "done the above" because they tried and failed. The Afghan Army were supposed to be the US's local stooges. Why the US failed was because US troops were true believers in massacring innocent Afghan civilians. Their relatives s

Except Iran was nothing like Afghanistan; it had democratic institutions that Iranians had been fighting to build since 1906. And nobody "took" territory, Whitey arranged a coup d'etat. Which destroyed the Iranian democratic institutions.De

I don't think any advice you can get from highscalability.com can be any good, because their whole mission statement is crap. They talk about getting 10 million concurrent clients only; they don't talk about scaling in any other dimension.

Assuming lifestyle businesses fail at similar rates as venture-backed companies Why would you make such an assumption? You can't argue with math. I can when you get the math so wrong, like above.

Formats are straight forward these days. Just write out JSON, XML, HTML5 w/ microformats or even Yaml. And when my data grows to multiple terabytes in size?

by ucee054 13y ago
I don't think this is true at all ... you use the same query irrespective of the size of the data in the tables. So the size of the datasets is irrelevant except for surfacing performance problems. In the example you gave you shouldn't have

I never thought of SQL as declarative or like Prolog. Look at the different forms of relational calculus (SQL is intended to be basically syntactic sugar on top) or look at some research papers by Fariba Sadri - hell, look at the earliest

Why should one use a database instead of just saving the data to disk? Expressed in English, this says "YAGNI" of all the advanced RDBMS features. Answer: Yes I freakin' AM gonna need it eventually

by ucee054 13y ago
I don't think pg understands the issue at a gut-feel level. There is a lot of benefit to processing your data using a declarative language, which is what SQL is. It's basically prolog, with less recursion and more separation of code and

I'll say it slowly point-by-point so you understand: Point 1: Fuck your "edification". Grandma doesn't want to be "edified". She wants to not starve . She isn't starving because of fertilized crops. We have fertilizer entirely because of

save you from dying of hunger The reason I'm not dying from hunger is because of mostly Fritz Haber and partly Norman Borlaug. The work of everybody else is irrelevant. So, two geniuses. And Fritz Haber wasn't working in "theory", he was

No, the application comes first , the theory follows. I don't know that Maxwell would have been anywhere near that discovery if it hadn't been for Faraday's work first. Go take a look at first year engineering PhD students, and see how the

The example from the article is really ignorant and self-defeating. Maxwell didn't come up with anything himself, he just formalized and turned into Greek squiggles what Faraday had discovered. And Faraday's claim to fame was working for Da

No, she carefully constructs her counter arguments so as not to make stupid mistakes like you just did. About women being the "property" of their husbands, that's because the husband was liable for the wife's crimes, due to Coverture , w

When somebody says "The right to bear arms is ... the _most_ essential right.", he or she is repeating that claim from the US Founding Fathers. If America were being ruled by some sort of King George and the Founding Fathers had their revol

I was talking about product research. No you weren't! You were talking about the later stage: "going mainstream", which means efficiency, testing and deployment. But when I mentioned testing and deployment, you said Who cares about that?

Note: That is essentially what the Boston Bombers were doing. If Robin Hood were alive in Nottingham today, I'm sure he'd be called a cop-killer.

that's the point of a network. Wrong. The point of the network is to transmit data. Who cares about that ? Who cares about most efficiently getting to systems that work? Grandma, Aunt Tillie, the engineer, his boss that pays his salary,
