Yes! The ability to be outside, pull out your phone, and get an almost-to-the-minute awareness of when it was going to rain felt magical, right out of Back to the Future 2. I used this countless times. So much of weather forecasting, at tha

For me, in college, it was Age of Empires. We'd have late-night LAN sessions with roommates and friends and when I eventually crashed into bed, my brain would continue strategizing for battles, determine necessary resources to mine, et

Interesting ... curious what the replacement cost of these membranes are as compared to installation and ongoing maintenance of wind turbines. Also, as always, curious how having these membranes in the water would affect the local ecosystem

If Deis was that valuable, one could assume that EY agreed to this arrangement because they are low on cash and needed the money. How often is a company, in effect, acquired twice?

Perhaps. My experience (a data point of one) wasn't like that. Why would you risk team productivity until the deal is signed?

If you are interested in the Jekyll / Github approach, you ought to check out Octopress ( https://github.com/imathis/octopress ) by Brandon Mathis. It includes all the benefits of this approach, but with a nice out-

This may be true, but it also makes the common assumption that your time (or the time of your team) is somehow worth $0 dollars. But, I imagine that you would be the first to say that your time is worth much more than $0 dollars. Put anothe

You realize that was resolved 1.5 years ago, right? Also, it was a driver-level implementation. Comments like this make you sound more troll and less informative.

"Every single time we went from the 2-node primary site to the 3-node secondary" ... Can you explain what this means in terms of MongoDB?

Yes, this. It is really stretching it to say that you can effectively "game" on your TV when airshare'ing from your iPad /iPhone to your Apple TV. It sucks.

Sort of ... but there are pretty serious limitations. 1. You are locked into Rackspace as your provider. MongoHQ provides multiple cloud providers. 2. They force you to shard. This increases operational and application complexity ... and ma

Considering MongoDB has only been around for the "last few years", I think it is maturing well. You are certainly free to call it the PHP of Databases, but there are a lot of developers that have learned to use it and are quite

People who swing hammers all day look at screwdrivers as the most confounding things. Why would you ever use a screw when you have nails?

Man, I need to go break the news to our customers that are successfully inserting millions of documents per hour (and their apps running nicely ... probably an app you have used) to inform them that, in all reality, they are "failing m

Aphyr did the same "Call Me Maybe" posts for other databases as well, highlighting their shortcomings. MongoDB has issues, but other databases have their rough edges as well. It all depends on how you use them. For a group of peop

Th oplog is probably the most underrated feature of MongoDB. There is all sorts of neat/useful stuff that you can do with it. Using it in Meteor and with River for Elastic Search are just a small part of what all it can do.

KTVU is borderline comical ... they were making wild assumptions that, even using basic logic and common sense, could be dismissed. I was really surprised how unknowledgeable they seemed. Much better to just report what you know and not try

I really like the term "schema-ish" and I think that most people probably want something like this. They will inevitably still have a defined structure for their data, but they need that extra bit of flexibility to keep the overal
