The background image in the e-mail collection form can be opened in a new tab. It's full-size, so you can see the ToC without buying to book or signing up.

I don't think Riak does. I believe its architecture is masterless.

The 55 mile range was calculated by Tesla's engineers, not Top Gear's. So, Tesla Motors should be pissed at its own engineers and no one else.

The overarching point is that there aren't recharging stations as ubiquitous as the fuel pumps and that it takes anywhere between 30 minutes and 12 hours to recharge the batteries. Was the point proven clumsily, yes, it's Top Gear, they're

Actually, had you bothered to watch to the end of that episode, the point they made was about HOW a car is driven and now WHAT car you drive. They drove the Prius as fast as it would go, because someone who buys a Prius will do that and at

How is flushing a write every 60 seconds orthogonal to consistency? If there's a server crash between the write to RAM and the subsequent flush, the data is lost, is it not? How do you guarantee the data is there in that case?
7.
by batasrki 15y ago
None of this is guaranteed by default. By default, writes are flushed every 60 seconds. By default, there's no journaling. How can one claim full consistency if the the former two points are true? Don't get me wrong, I love mongo. I'm build

Among major features touted are auto-sharding and replica sets. I don't know if the implication is that it's only for web apps/websites that won't need those

>Mongo is fully consistent Can you please explain this for a case where there are multiple replica sets, the database is sharded and nodes are across data centers? What's sacrificed? Something must be.

Yep, that's the one

To be honest, Mongo's execs have done pretty much the same thing. As I said in another comment, the Changelog episode on Mongo was very illuminating with regards to the marketing tactics of 10gen. I do like both, as well.

by batasrki 15y ago
The 'safe' feature isn't on by default, yet. Also, the benchmarks 10gen publishes are based on default setup, so basically, Mongo writes to RAM, therefore it's fast. I love Mongo and am using it in a few apps, but their marketing does blow,

Sorry, I respectfully disagree. If the market will bear it, you can charge for a service before "mass adoption"

This is certainly the reason I went to see it. However, not only was I underwhelmed by the regurgitation of the Pocahontas story, I was extremely underwhelmed by the 3D. The only effect that made me think the film was "realistic" was the

On an unrelated note, that whiteboard graph disturbed me a bit. Does every YC startup hope to get bought out? Why would that even be a goal or something to aspire to?

Better deal, maybe not. He could've and should've forced their hand by calling out those Republicans who were pulling for the rich and against the common man. The same must be said for the assholes who are voting down the 9/11 responders bi

Compromising doesn't mean taking their version of the compromise. Compromising also means doing the math. In what world does 13 equal 24? That's what I blame the democrats for. They're shit at compromising.

Well, 0 is slightly off. Ge extended the Bush tax cuts, so he quite literally cut taxes for 100% of America and not the talking point number of 95. Also, failing to raise the taxes on those top 2% puts a huge tarnish on the rest of his achi

It's because he specifically mentioned how net neutrality will be achieved. Sure, he appointed those FCC members, but he shouldn't stop there. Especially if you make it your mandate. So, when the members he appointed sell out and fail to se

Well, that's like saying we should destroy the original tools cavemen made because they aren't of any use to us now. The point of Geocities in current day and age is to show us where we came from, IMO.

Totally agree that Google should snap it up. If any company needs it, it's Google and passing this opportunity by would be a mistake on their part. Not to mention that Delicious could be sold at a lower price since they've announced that th

Well, I think the speed was precipitated by the fact that Yahoo had already shut down a legendary property, Geocities. It's easier to believe that they'll do that again with another piece of their tech than it is that they'll do the right t

I pretty much stopped reading after this line: "Web development thought leader Jeff Atwood...". That and the press release-type of comment above it. And I agree with everyone else here. Trusting your users to Facebook is a dumb-ass thing to

Figured that out finally. The enter key is tied to the first button on the form, that being the Paypal button, :/. There's a different problem now, though.

If you have a credit card form there on the page, why are you requiring a PayPal account? I was going to get this deal, but since PayPal is being a bit of an asshole to me personally, I can not. Can there be another way? Note: all this assu

Well, firstly, the fact that the TSA employee didn't challenge that statement tells me that either that employee isn't properly informed or he/she knows more than what is publicly known. I'm gonna go on a limb and say it's the former rather
