    So far I see more value in ontologies than graph databases. When using established ontologies naming does not become an issue and exchanging / understanding data becomes easier. Yo…

    So the easy "instant" graphs offered by Cypher engines are just temptations then? Looks like a SQL foundation and a solid database engine is better (as always).

    We are actually working with semantics / ontologies. The graph database is just our engine for storing the data. I am starting to think whether an ordinary SQL database could be ju…

    Ask HN: Were Graph Databases a Mirage?

    Are graph databases abandoned but no notice was posted about it anywhere? I have worked with graph databases for about a year. I am becoming concerned about their effectiveness. Wh…

    I just use Notepad in Windows, and store everything in a single document. This single document also contains my diary / log for daily activities. Plain text is enough for me.

    Average is not the same as mode. 99.9% of people (at least) have more arms than the average for instance. So yes, theoretically 80% may be better at driving than the average, it is…

    I just switched from EC2 to Hetzner. I found Hetzner's approach much more customer friendly, you set up PTR yourself for instance.

    I had great fun setting up Postfix and Dovecot recently. However, I was very specific with always going for the minimum most simple solution. I do not have a dedicated database for…

    I have dabbled with the same problem with AgoRapide which offers queries through GET (although on a much simpler level than PQL / GraphQL). I just present the query in readable for…

    Thought so. I always wanted to build such a system, but usually end up recommending some sort of cloud service instead. > Did you notice that the demo site is throwing an HTTP 500 …

    ORM = Object-relational mapping. Never used it. First time I was introduced to an ORM (Hibernate) my instinct said to run away. Just too much complexity involved for little gain. I…

    It is nice to get some reminders why I still use a so called 'dumb'-phone. Very easy to use and with extremely long battery life. And if I lose it or damage it, the replacement cos…

    Good point, even more so because I use VLC myself because of the exact same reason, it plays anything. I just never thought of giving it URLs, only local files. (But the user inter…

    Never took the effort to reduce it to standard Internet size. But I will if I get 10 000 hits on the page tomorrow too. Amazon wants its dues. Yes, it looks really cool, expensive …
