But do you expect many people to want to maintain a software project, but not know or care which one?

Obviously trying to contact the author or previous maintainer of an abandoned project can be difficult, but then even this wouldn't help much as they'd still need to transfer ownership to the new maintainer(s). Maybe you could offer an 'ownership escrow service' for your target audience too. That would be potentially very helpful for people that really want to wash their hands of a project.

>"Like the author, I really cannot wrap my head around this. While I understand that duplicating documents across collections may make querying faster, what about when you want to change the document? "

That's a trade-off you have to analyze to see if it is worth it. If that data is not maintained often then is OK to have duplicated data. One thing you have to realize is that there is no a silver bullet in the CAP theorem and you always would give up something.

The other thing to realize is that not everybody needs a distributed database and most problems will live happily with an old-fashioned relational database.
> If you're going to say "hey, I've got a solution to the hard work of mowing a lawn", we need to have a long conversation.

Heh, it's not a way to reduce the hard work, but a way to actually get a return on all that work.

Also, I am completely envious.
If you are writing lots of joins in SQL, that might be a good use case for a graph database like Neo4j. Neo4j treats relationships as first class citizens, so really anytime you care about relationships in your data you might have a good graph use case.

One way to think about relationships in graph databases is as materialized joins. Relationships are modeled and stored explicitly so there is no join at query time, only a constant time graph traversal. There are differences in flexibility of data model, ease of expressing traversals in the query language, etc but I think traversal vs JOIN is a good way to compare relational vs graph.
I usually ask what big challenges will they be tackling in the next 4-5 months. Then try to use that as an entry point into discussing technical details at a slightly deeper level. In many cases it works well. In some cases it does not since people say that the roadmap is sensitive.
My gut is that it shows a lack of phrase turning expertise, but admits the possibility that converse could be true. To put it another way, I suspect it's more likely an example of poor writing rather than a well honed expository detail.

> I have to say that I did not experience a single data loss that was a result of the database misbehaving.

Okay, but numerous people have experienced data loss using MongoDB. You can spend 10 minutes on Twitter and find someone talking about it.

> Memory leaks weren't a huge issue for us as well. After stabilizing the setup I have to say it was basically a fire and forget part of the stack for us.

"After stabilizing the setup"? So basically you worked around MongoDB's stability problems instead of choosing a solution that didn't have stability problems?

> The role of MongoDB was to act as a fast-insert and aggregation framework for other parts of the system.

Sure, but there are other solutions that can do this without MongoDB's issues (i.e. Cassandra).

> After a while, the setup became to expensive to run, at this point we turned it off for a cheaper solution, but in terms of functionality, it functioned pretty well.

Sure, you can build something stable on sand, but it's going to be a lot harder than just building on a solid foundation.
Not sure if you are the author or just sharing. If you authored this I would highly recommend mentioning which "kindle" this is applicable to as the first topic. There are multiple generations of kindle e-readers and kindle tablets. It's not readily apparent up front as to which this is applicable to.
> Even when faced with this clear evidence, people consider TrueCrypt as being safe.

I don't understand. If your definition of 'safe' requires that no vulnerabilities can ever be discovered in a product, you're going to have to give up and never use a computer again.

Having some high-end crypto experts and some of the best bug hunters audit your product and then fix the discovered vulnerabilities puts you at the higher end of the security spectrum.

> VeryCrypt is under active development, so the situation is much better since the issues can be fixed in the future releases.

Counter-point for consideration: any non-maintenance code changes may introduce new issues that weren't part of this audit.

My introduction to programming was one semester of Pascal in high school (2 years before college). There was a second semester class as well where the teacher just handed us an intro C book and told us all "Go learn it. Make up your own assignments and I'll grade them. I'll be over here teaching the first class if you need help."

I think schools are way too coddling when they teach kids "Pointers are scary. That's why you'll only learn Java here." I don't think my classmates where particularly gifted and yet we all survived C with minimal assistance.

My understanding is if you had widespread, conditional joins. I haven't ever implemented though, so somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here:

Example:
News Feed
- JOIN with my friends
- JOIN recent posts
- JOIN topics / keywords that I tend to care about
- Filter by people I interact with more
- Filter out shared posts from sources I ignore
- Sort by some combination of recency, likes, likes from my friends

The idea, it seems, is to be optimized for wide joins.

It appears to me that the main difference between a resume and the proposed alternative is that the alternative is an API to access a data structure.

Furthermore, I think it's an insult to the past Democrats like FDR if you compare them with the likes of Hillary/Obama.

The left leaning presidents of old did not openly participate in corruption of the US Constitution nor did they willfully undermine the American worker for the benefit of Wall St.

Obama? He hired the architect of the Mortgage Crisis, Henry Paulson, as his Treasury Secretary. That's like hiring El Chapo Guzman as the head of the DEA. And it doesn't end there.

I think the entire political spectrum has been captured by corrupt oligarchs. There is no real right or left anymore, just a group of vicious oligarchs battling for supremacy using the old colors so that people accept them.

I read this. Which meant nothing to me. Kindle e-reader? Do all e-readers have the same OS?

Granted I may not be the target audience. Presumably some one looking to jailbreak their e-reader may have recognized this right off the bat. As someone who recently purchased a cheap kindle fire tablet, and was interested in the possibility of jail breaking, I was confused.

Edit: great post though! I researched previously in jail breaking kindle e-readers with not so much luck. Ever since I saw AWS use them as displays for snowball devices I started to see potential for other uses. Will have to try this out.

There are two paradigms with databases. Normalization for high volume insert/update transaction requirements (faster writes). Denormalization for (faster reads), typically used for data warehouses and reporting.

NoSQL is designed to support both of these scenarios well. And with lower overhead requirements by not having to update a central store... It is used in particular for Big Data solutions. Rather than having to be optimized for one or the other as an RDBMS would require.
GitHub is happy as long as you upload the public key to GitHub. Git though uses pgp key servers to verify the signature.

Yes, you pay for it. But at least it's an option.

> Regarding feminism, I think the problem is that internet-feminism (and indeed, most forms of feminism you see in the media) represent a very specific and strange brand thereof.

"Internet feminism" represents pretty much the entire range of feminism; if you disproportionately perceive some particular segment, its probably because you have a disproportionate reaction to it.

> As an interesting aside, I'm "surprised" they haven't taken up the cause of getting more men into nursing...

I'm surprised you think that they haven't taken up the issue of men in nursing , since its been a fairly common theme in feminist circles (including on the internet) for quite a number of years, including especially the idea that the lack of men in the field is directly tied to the same gender stereotyping that leads to disrespect for the field as "women's work". (And, frequently, this discussion also treats it as a failing of early waves of feminism that this issue was neglected in the past.)
