Good question, I would like to know this as well.

I would say that your argument is one that can be fixed by a number of means: 1. Removing the local copy of the DB. 2. Removing the need to use MongoDB. #1 will let you have your responsive clients while #2 will let your application scale.

I believe no one until I see proof. When it's just one guy's word vs the other, it's kinda hard to believe either side. And no, I didn't downvote you.

They fear a weakening of the patent system. We fear a strengthening of it. Our goals and fears are at odds. Our interests are misaligned. In a perfect world this company would exist to invent and license new ideas. In our imperfect world th

I can't wait to see what the report of it didn't work actually says. It's quite possible that one of the services that the website hit couldn't handle the traffic which in turn caused a bottleneck in other systems.

I'd use Balanced Payments over the others. Great bunch of people, good customer support to the point of almost telling you how to write the code line by line, and well, dunno what else to say.

But unfortunately SS only worked when more people were joining the workforce than were leaving. Also, the life expectancy was not as great. SS is an inter-generational transfer of wealth, decided by our parent's parents but paid for by

Skip 9 but you have 11? Obligatory "this ladder goes to 11." Really, what's the point of removing a wrung on the ladder if you're only going to put it back at a different/higher place. You could have steps 2, 3, 5,

Like Erlang's GC what all with the 5 9's of uptime it was designed to handle. I mean, come on, the GC algorithm it uses may be battle tested and far simpler than the GC beast that is the JVM but simple is bad, right?

Isn't HornetQ the queue that allows one "ack" to speak for the past five messages. That is, if I were to lose one of the past five messages I sent, I would never know because the system would consider the message delivered. T

I went C++ -> Python -> Scala. Still do Python. Don't do C++ anymore for the same exact reasons he mentions. The guy is a C++ hero and to hear him say those things means a lot. I encourage you to keep playing around with Scala. H

You're making strong assumptions about his methodology vs a guy that is only looking at public ally available exits. I would be remiss to say that his data most definitely supports his position.

I am at once in awe and jealous of the kinds of things these people must know/be able to do. It's too bad that this kind of skill and knowledge could not be used in a more legitimate manner with such a high profit potential to the

Great idea except you don't namespace anything! I like namespaces because one library or css import from another won't ever stomp on each other. I've seen 'ui', 'button' and 'red' in several othe

Wish someone would do that for Postgres.

You have to show proof that you've been harmed in some way. Unfortunately, and via circular logic inanity, because the "harm" that is befallen you is unknown to you, you don't have the ability to prove harm. Someone with

It's a tough position other companies are placing on SO. On one hand you can't alienate a portion of your community by closing all API/programming questions which are of a more proprietary nature just because they're of

You can do all of that with a SQL DB. In fact, Postgres works as an amazing key-value store if you want it to. They've even got some damned good performance in hstore compared to many use cases of Mongo. I use MongoDB and SQL DBs every

No, I think he had it right. There's "enterprise" and then there's logically abstracted away in a meaningful and helpful manner. One is not the other. There's far too many bits of code I've come across with Fac

Being a recovering C++ programmer who wrote some very clever code while younger and very dumb code while older, if you think Java gets out of your way perhaps you should try Scala or Clojure. Talk about getting out of the way, these LAn gua

There are managers who excel at investing money and unlocking value. Just because most managers in assets and investment vehicles afforded by those whose worth is not of a sufficient level does not mean they do not exist. People who can, do

Scala has both Futures and Promises which are inherently much nicer than that async call. That's what happens when you allow things to compose. Glad c# gets something.

Sounds in many ways like your management, instead of empowering you with autonomy, purpose, and control over your projects took it away. Developers should call the shots on a number of things. This doesn't always mean running to use th

Yes, Android's Garbage Collector is a one legged mule. Slow, crippled and needy. Scala, on the other hand, generates a ton of little objects. I'm a full time Scala dev but if I were doing Android I'd probably for the foreseea

You're still a student? The first year at a full time gig is going to feel a bit overwhelming. You'll have so much you have to catch up on, either technology wise, development practices with a larger team-wise, or just design-wise

I blame ignorance and not malice. Then again, I wouldn't want to blemish a prosecutor's high conviction rate by invoking basic human liberties like expressing an opinion. Just think what might happen to the children.

Pfft. Drove the bus off a cliff, into the ocean, through the fires of hell and into my living room. Fortunately, you can now install a few different Linux distros on their UEFI @#$% loader.

Regardless of the kinds of reform we would like to see, the fact that America still considers software nothing like "math" or prose will continue to allow these types of litigators to press for a long, long time. Zombie debt colle

Pensions are a joke. I hate to say this but look at the teachers of Mass as a good example of just how much so. 20 years ago teachers paid 2% of their salary into the pension, today they pay 10%. Do you expect that in any reality today&#x27
