I think you guys are talking on different tracks here. jsprinkles brings up a genuine concern. However, he goes ahead and calls your skill unmatched in your domain and I respect that. Honestly, that was a bit of a shocker but I will accept

Why did mongodb drop 30 docs from its index? Did PG drop any? Does this not matter?

This is my biggest concern. This means that whenever you want to run a simple HTTP server, you need a signed certificate. Well, thats a huge hassle. So its likely shortcuts will be adopted to make HTTPS adoption more practical for everyday

Spot on. However, I cant think of a single achievement which was not created from unfiltered group brainstorming. Then again, I do things differently.

Its clear, closures actually solve the problem of random array access in high level languages. You are either after 1 value or all of them. These are 2 very easily optimized access patterns. Out of bounds array access isn't a constant threa

Honestly, these are quite possibly some of the most incoherent arguments I have ever seen: "At least, I'm assuming that he's including these companies in his false-nostalgia..." - great assumption "Where "major differences" would have been"

I like. Word splitting is very interesting. Today, 2012, I would be hard pressed to provide a reason to use this technique. Splitting an index is a classic complexity/resource trade off (your index has a very predictable compact footprint).

SPDY is here to increase efficiency between browser and server (this is sometimes called scaling). 'Dynamic network typologies' as presented is moving the network routing stack to a software CPU. Not sure I would bridge these two technologi

Nothing. You are correct in missing an important part of this discussion.

You arent seeing the bigger picture here. If you choose this level of efficiency, after getting dropped off at work, 'your car' will simply locate the next closest customer. If you want to spend the resources on your own private car or a mo

I didnt really pay much attention to the points regarding commenting style because it seemed like the real point here was the direction java was going in the late 2000's (or more importantly the ideas being sold). In this context, this post

I like the self awareness here but I kind of cringed at some of the points made by the author. LMAX is definitely a counter to the one size/approach/design/trend fits all thinking in software. I guess its true when they say execution is eve

So you are saying that adhering to memory bounds and limits (and possibly SLAs) should be ignored in favor of having your software crash because its easier? Sure, I can see it as a possible strategy in some cases. But to go ahead and cite t

Great write up. You really nail the essence of a true data driven approach (DDA) to solving problems. Simplification of the data world view can lead to great things. The key to your batch computation example is proper data modeling IMO. Thi

Zeke was my theory and algorithms prof in college. Kind of hard to wrap your head around these sort of problems.

That would only be a risk if we were talking about a typical high school multiple choice test. I would think that a cheater would be filtered out by this point in their career (this point being applying to a high tech company). However, col

For me, this blog post represents a step backwards. They open up saying that the 1 hour interview provides absolutely no indication of how well a prospective candidate will perform. Hopefully most people will agree here. Then they go ahead

I thought this was very well written and clear. These authors bring up a very valid point. Not really sure if the web can reinvent itself. Java applets and Flash both failed along the same lines. Maybe the web (and HTTP) is only good for re

Is it me or is it a growing trend that 'academic' papers are omitting their publish date. Its frustrating to read a paper without this context.

This makes me really excited about the future of the 'desktop' ( => tablet). Microsoft has really nailed it in terms of user experience and performance. This is a good example of out innovating the competition and no other company is be

Right, the justification here is a bit blurry. The framework they present is pretty much J2EE redux. If you are going to take this angle, stick with Tomcat and its huge enterprise base. Unfortunately, this is far from reinventing Java for t

yup... Autonomy is a huge name in the enterprise biz. This blogger got it completely wrong when he said they are an SAP rival. Autonomy is Oracle's biggest threat now and will likely start making inroads on its biz.

Ive used idol very extensively for approx 5 years. Its like combining oracle db with google search and then adding language analytics. Basically its a very advanced db (these were the first guys to really get nosql into the enterprise). You
