Redis is a particular product, not a catch-all for low latency in-memory data stores. So saying your product is a Redis (which you did, rather than making an analogy) was merely embarrassing attention grabbing marketing palaver which does

I don't think you understand Redis. Redis is also a key-value store, but implements a variety of structures, not just RTree, and has a large number of operations on those data structures ( http://redis.io ). Spacebase appears to be a signi

Product appears to have nothing to do with Redis and isn't even remotely compatible. Marketer uses buzzword to attempt to get credibility and hence immediately loses all credibility with actual market.

The good thing about the AppStore password timing out after 15 minutes is that you can hand your child the ipad/iphone/etc. and not get a surprise $5,000 itunes bill.

Maybe it's just me, but I find the e-paper Kindles to be absolutely terrible reading experiences. The text is still relatively low contrast, but the real deal killer is the refresh flash. It's jarring and disruptive and it is nothing like

Reading between the lines from both the posted note and their persistent failure to provide correct statuses: the ops guys over there are in full CYA desperation mode somewhere around 100% of the time, and a culture of 'it wasn't me', fuell

PHP is more expressive than python, ruby, or java. I see.

you are incorrect.

by Cloven 14y ago
I would say there's a difference. PHP is bad because it has a wide variety of objectively awful design flaws, its standard library is a conflicted mess, and it's unperformant. Implementing it into a modern architecture is highly correlate

I wonder what Microsoft's hardware partners think of all this. It's not just competition, they actively disparaged the others by saying that it was as powerful as all the ultrabooks out there.

Beyond the other listed benefits: Percona also provides support contracts quite inexpensively, which can be worth their weight in diamonds. I bought a support contract after our Percona instance started to slow down, and the level of quali

95% of even good developers wouldn't be able to tell when a sql sanitization function is poorly coded or has a hidden gotcha. Having the source is not nearly as important as trusting the upstream to be smart and to promptly resolve securit

"At scale in production, adding a new node took days to complete all the handoffs..." That's a bit of a headscratcher. What is happening during those 'days' and what is the primary limiting factor? I keep meaning to get into Riak, but then

"Today, however, Prasad no longer feels the need for the security blanket. “In the tablet version of the server, we’re still using Node, but now the clients are talking directly from the load balancers to Node, there’s no nginx.”" I thought

That sounds like a lot of fun to maintain and keep version control on, especially when they're written by different people with different motivations.

Nirvana, good point about ops/sec not being a be-all end-all, but I'd continue to argue that you're looking at the problem the wrong way. As the technical director for my game company, my primary concern is not 'whether the database has an

I think the Riak pages are not geared at the people making the selection, e.g., architect-level technologists. The wiki is full of marketing claims ('Riak is the most powerful open-source, distributed database you'll ever put into producti

Heavy Ruby is not designed for speed, and much of its heaviness causes slowness. It's entirely possible/likely that mruby will be in the same ballpark as luajit2 soon after release.

5 months to develop a trivial shell script? Where could you possibly work that this could remotely be true?

I guess that's what getting paid $45K to write a shell script does for your ego. What a shame.

So this compared Amazon's cc.4xl server @ 2.10 an hour against, e.g., Rackspace's 16G server at 0.96 an hour, and used its local storage in RAID 0 vs Rackspace's SAN storage? I'm pretty sure you couldn't have compared apples to oranges any

Have you looked at YCSB? It's a pathologically poorly designed benchmark. It essentially tests how good a developer is at implementing a Java wrapper around a toy object model and interfacing that with a database. A proper benchmark would

I'm sorry, did you really criticize my logic on the grounds that it would not fit into a dialog box? The fact is, the dialog box is intentionally deceptive. "This is the way forward people." Actually, the way forward is the direction we'v
