>My last job paid $9.10 an hour and I was expected to review my email daily as well as visit the company website occasionally to do these little quizzes and courses.

Mongo is fine until it's not. It's been fine for us for many months, but once you hit its limitations, it's pretty horrible. We're in this situation right now and we're seriously considering moving back to MySQL or Postgres.

Basically, "it doesn't scale" unless you throw tons of machines/shards at it.

Once they fix a few of their main issues such as the global write lock and fix many of the bugs, it could become an outstanding piece of software. Until then, I consider it as not ready for production use in a write-intensive application. Knowing what I know now, I certainly would not have switched our data to MongoDB.
Your analogy doesn't work because "mathematician" is a research position. You should compare mathematicians to computer scientists, not programmers.

You could make the same analogy and prove any side of the debate depending on the job you choose:

If you do plumbing, does that make you a plumber?

If you do painting, does that make you a painter?

If you do physics, does that make you a physicist?

If you drive vehicles, does that make you a driver?

Really, the debate here is that some people consider the word programmer to mean "computer scientist" or "computer expert", while others consider it to mean "person who programs". It's a debate on the meaning of a word and this kind of debate cannot be settled, because the word has multiple meanings. Everyone's right in their own way.
So true: If you can program, you are a programmer. How you came about this knowledge is insignificant.

However, the post was about the fastest way to learn programming and books are a terrific way to do that. Not the only one. Maybe not the best one for you. But for many people, books work great!
Maybe unlikely in this particular case, but plenty of college professors write their own books and then make them required reading for their students.
Funny that you should bring up the whole synthetic meat thing. Techdirt just recently had a post with a link to it :

What do you mean? You can map each dynamically typed function/procedure onto a statically typed function/procedure that is used in the same way. I do not see how a translation could be cleaner and more structure preserving.

Our goal was to efficiently prepare a bright non-programmer to an entry level .NET support job. Python and Ruby are great (I hack in both daily) but each is a diversion from the stated goal. By contrast, K&R is only 228 pages and is a good introduction to C#.
1) No one said we are trading ALL of ACID. D should never be traded, period, except for transient data or cache.

2) We don't even get the performance guarantee. See the pastebin post about how the write lock affects performance and how synchronization with a slave can go awry.
That one's a bit tough since it really only affects people who are working far apart -- at which point you can just agree on what time something is.

For example, it's great to think of noon as being the middle of the day no matter where you are. There are clearly advantages the other way around as well.

DST is just disruptive, though. "Hey everybody! Let's have two ones o'clock this morning!" That created all kinds of confusion in my house last night when things were running at one I didn't expect to be running until two.
Same with dividends for non-Australian countries.

But let's look at how incentives change when these "double taxes" were removed:

1. No capital gain tax: Encourages speculation because speculation is "tax-free". Prices across commodities, properties, stocks and bonds will all rise, and may result in even more speculation.

2. No dividend tax: Encourages investment into companies who pay out high dividends because dividends are no longer taxed as much. Buying goods for the sake of capital gain would become less advantageous than buying goods because it pays out passive income that is tax free.

3. No corporate tax: Companies no longer store their money overseas as repatriating money from overseas no longer costs any taxes. Encourages investment by companies rather than hiring more workers, paying more wages, or paying out taxes, because further profit from investment is not taxed, but the other three activities are. Encourage creation of more companies (at least on paper).

4. No employee tax: Companies will be able to get more employee per dollar, and encourages companies to hire more employees because they can pay $100000 and the employee will now get $100000 instead of $60000. There will also be the effect of wage inflation; Every company wants to hire more employees.

Of all the double taxation that exists I advocate getting rid of (2) first.

Upppss... sorry fredsanford :-( What were you at when this ugly sister showed up? (trying to understand the source of the problem)
So first of all, the concept of "double taxation" is something you have to be careful with. In general, a given dollar will be taxed more than once because it is spent more than once. However, that same dollar also counts towards the net income of the country more than once. Double taxation is when the same income is taxed more than once, which is a bit different.

Capital gains in general does not involve double taxation. Some examples:

If you buy property for $100,000, and sell it for $150,000, you'll pay capital gains taxes on the $50,000. Here, $200,000 of income is involved and $200,000 is taxed.

Say you invest $100k in a store, and build it up to $100k/year in revenue. You sell it for $1m. The business has no assets to speak of (you lease the space, etc). You're taxed on the $900k. Here $1.9m of income is involved and $1.9m of income is taxed.

Where you do run into double taxation is with corporations. $1m of corporate income is taxed once when it is earned and again when it is distributed as a dividend. But that's because the corporate income tax is double taxation, not because capital gains is double taxation.

Also, there is no double taxation when paying salaries. Say you have $1m in revenue and $400k in expenses (salaries and rent). You're taxed on the $600k of net income, not the $1m in total revenue.
> if Einstein hadn't proposed his theory of relativity, someone else eventually would have (especially as the evidence for it accumulated) though it probably would have taken several decades

Perhaps someone else would have worked out Special Relativity within a decade, e.g. Minkowski working off Maxwell's equations.

> Einstein took about 10 years to generalize his "special relativity". A better mathematician could have done this much more quickly

General relativity, however, is such a huge leap over special relativity, relying on both the "happiest thought in Einstein's life" (i.e the equivalence of gravity and acceleration) and complex math I don't understand, that it alone might have taken decades to "generalize" from Special Relativity.

Anecdotes like the one from the article that ended with "The one thing that didn’t flinch was MongoDB" don't convince me one bit. When something else between the end user is a bottleneck it would be silly to assume that is the only problem in the entire system. Who is to say that if the load balancers hadn't been configured differently, or higher spec'd that their MongoDB wouldn't have become a smoldering crater?

I'm sure there are things that have just so far eluded my imagination, but it may also be better to look somewhere a little more developed. There's a huge untapped population here but not much buying power yet. The big players like Facebook and Google and Yahoo are already pretty entrenched here too so it's not like you've got an open field to play with.
"would our phones still be wired to the wall and owned by ATT?"

I doubt it because Motorola and others were already making cell phones when AT&T was broken up in 1984 [1][2].

Also, of the 7 Baby Bells that the original AT&T was broken up into, most have merged again. There's only Verizon and AT&T left. On top of that, now AT&T wants to merge with T-Mobile USA. But has mobile innovation halted in the last decade?

Software still isn't eligible for patent protection, as I've said several times before (look at my comment history). Copyright protection and trade secret protection are available for software, while patent protection is available for "business methods."

The whole issue is that one wouldn't reasonably believe that checking someone's driver's license to verify that it matches the name on the credit card they used to purchase goods at an auction qualifies as patentable subject matter. Yet, in 1999, eBay received a patent for a "Method and apparatus for verifying the identity of a participant within an on-line auction environment." [Pat. No. 6,466,917]

As we move more and more brick and mortar business functions to the virtual world, people are able to get around the prior art by inextricably linking their business method with a device--a computer or, as patent attorneys eloquently say:

"a client computer to present user interface information specifying an identity verification interface for obtaining personal information of a user and to communicate personal information over a communications network; a transaction computer, coupled to the client computer via a communications network, to implement a transaction system that facilitates transactions between the user and a further user, to receive the personal information from the client computer via the communications network, and to communicate the personal information over the communications network; and an identity verification computer, coupled to the transaction computer via the communications network, to receive the personal information from the transaction computer via the communications network, to perform an identity verification process to generate a verification result, and to communicate the verification result to the transaction computer over the communications network, wherein transaction computer makes the verification result available to the further user via the communications network and responsive to a request from the further user for information concerning the user." [Pat. No. 6,466,917]

I find it intractable for one to reasonably believe that the virtual environment is so extraordinarily different from real life so as to justify awarding patents for routine business methods. The problem with business method patents, quite bluntly, is that the Supreme Court absolutely blew it in Bilski by not articulating, precisely, how much of a transformation is necessary to consider it "inventive."

This is for Congress to decide.

you seem pretty cool, but you just seem to be chasing trends basically..
We are all engineers and MongoDB is open source. Maybe the easiest way to evaluate the project is to review the source code. This will give at least some idea about quality of MongoDB - of course MongoDB can still be a great product even if code is not written well but it is important indicator.

What is your comment about code written? Is it maintainable? Is it modular? Doe s it seem well written?
It's Apple. All they have to do is issue a beta and they'll have plenty of people writing to the new API.

The cost of buying Growl isn't just the dollars used to take ownership of the company. You have to integrate the people and the code. For a feature as small as this, it's just plain easier to implement internally.
It sounds like you'd enjoy looking into "the paradox of choice" (the econ literature, not the junk science book with that title). There is a good bit of evidence that too many choices reduces utility and induces irrational behavior
The easy answer is, focus on making products that involve a hardware component. For example, you could pirate the app for that new Jawbone product, but it is meaningless without the hardware.

The Universe as quantum computer game - a personal point of view
I left back in May. Now I'm in a spot where the culture is entirely my own creation: working for myself. If it works, then I win.
I don't see how non-knowledge-based work is gone forever. Sure, we have roombas, but we are a long way from me being able to tell a robot to clean a messy room, or to properly lay out merchandise that has been messed up by customers. Heck, even at high-end SysAdmin rates, I can assemble servers cheaper than I can buy them from Dell.

I mean, I think a some of the barrier to unskilled employment right now is cultural. Having someone clean your personal space is seen as extremely crass. Heck, expensive software engineers are expected to clean up their own cube. Even having a secretary is kinda weird these days. Man, it's really nice to have support staff, but culturally, we seem to look at it like owning slaves.

But really, I think most of the problem is just that the economy is in the dumps. It's hard for anyone outside of the top 20% skill-wise to find a job right now, doing much of anything. It's an employer's market.

>And even if they did have the necessary educational background for retraining, who would pay for it? Education in the USA is already absurdly expensive, and the employer sure as hell won't be picking up the tab.

This is the economy again. During the dot-com boom? anyone that looked like they might be able to become qualified (including a 17 year old me) could get a job learning to become a computer programmer or a sysadmin. These days, companies don't want to take those kinds of risks; but I think that has more to do with the economy than with any structural differences in the computer industry.

I mean, do you really 'train' a SysAdmin? that's not really how I've seen it work. You get a kid who is into that sort of thing already and throw some books at them, and it sticks or it doesn't. The cost is that the kid is going to make some mistakes while learning, you don't know if the kid is even capable of becoming good, and even if you pick the right kid, the kid doesn't break anything too expensive, you get them the right books, even then, once you have built a pretty good SysAdmin, well, they might just leave for a better paying job.
SIGMA SPORT 28500 Puls Computer ONYX BALANCE
Ha! Fair point. I thought it was an interesting trial in that all updates to our user data wound up being published into MongoDB. All the other tools we'd tried for this purpose, CouchDB, MySQL with both MyISAM and InnoDB and even "thousands of .js files in a hashed directory structure" didn't perform as well. It allowed us to shift the load from our MySQL database to "something else" as during our spikes we were getting killed. It was a read-heavy workload in that case.

The thing that struck me about the original post was how it seemed some of the complaints were just normal things that people learn when dealing with clusters under load. "Adding a shard under heavy load is a nightmare." Well, I mean, duh. If you add a shard and the cluster has to rebalance, you're adding load. It's like how you're more likely to get a disk failure during a RAID rebuild. The correct time to add a shard is during the off hours.
>But I think Google should anthropomorphize theirs too.

They're likely working on it. I'll bet they're also preparing their legal team for the inevitable lawsuit from Apple.

This should allow people to be more vigilant and people are more likely to be paying attention to incoming messages on their phones than on FB whereby I have to be logged in first.
