News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This is terrible analogy. We're more like neighbours, and US is a bully. We made a decision not to have much a fence before we were friendly neighbours. We regret that decision, and are planting a hedge and reaching out to our other "neighbours" for support.

The whole neighbourhood thinks you're assholes and bullies, we're all scared. But that is bring us closer together as result, so there's some upside.

Racism? Oh man, visit any other country that is more homogenous.... lol. Everything is relative.

Consider, ever so briefly, that people don't all learn the same. You do you.

Is it defensible (patents etc)? If it's easy to copy then it would be best to partner with those who need to invest the least to get this to market.

Feedback: Where's the video demo? I don't want to install it to see it in action and decide if I want to install it.

Is there a video of it in action?

OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD

Right off the bat the author has embarrassed themselves. They seem to be oblivious to the fact that the majority of content on the most popular platforms is created using smartphones (Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat). Smartphones have actually democratized content creation and in a way that laptops and desktops never could. This should be obvious, not sure how this ever got upvoted.

Go take pictures with your laptop OP.

Re:Relicensing CockroachDB on Tuesday June 04, 2019 @08:47PM (#20100597)
Couple questions:

1) Is CockroachDB actually popular? Like sure they have a couple big users, but is it gaining traction?

2) Would it be as popular as it is if they'd started with this license from the very start?

How much is oil per pound?
It's an interesting point but it's worth remembering that Uranium is far more valuable than oil by weight. Many people wouldn't mind sitting on vast amounts of Uranium.

Also, keep in the various oil disasters. Dealing in oil also comes with it's own risks. No need to switch from that analogy. In this light, likening data to radioactive materials seems to me like spreading fud...

Hi Cockroach Labs Engineer here,

On the feature FAQ joins are describe as 'functional' which doesn't inspire a lot of confidence but maybe it's just a perception thing. What exactly does functional mean?

A SQL db without joins sounds a lot like just a NOSQL db with a familiar query dialect.

Where's the video? I kind of expect an announcement like this to come with a video demo that is impressive or else why bother?
We use statsd, graphite, redis and node as well. You might be interested some of my projects relating to these:
