This is essentially ParAccel as a service. So it is one of those data warehouse vendors. As to the pricing, as always it isn't so straightforward -- it's $999 per TB a year if you …

I'm [dead] now, so there's that.

JSON is data. XML is markup. While so many key so strongly on the markup element of the name, XML is the structured markup of data into a document . Too many have some baggage that…

How is that rich? I pointed it out because that is precisely how I felt some would feel.

even if the 25 "bad" comments are at the bottom of the page because people will still reply to them and they will still be a part of the discussion. Here's a good example- http://n…

You "feel their pain" by tracing through this entire sub-discussion, desperately clicking down-arrow along the way, and then adding some masturbatory, zero-content noise comment to…

Intellectually lazy? That's a mighty big term for someone like you. Further it's utterly astonishing that you would equate writing clear and non-ambiguous code rather than nebulous…

An enormously complex rendering and JavaScript engine. Some laughably irrelevant, trivial comments. Quite a solid proof you have there.

Why do you think Chrome is eating Firefox's lunch? Humorous given that both webkit and from that Chromium are largely comment free. What nonsense are you arguing again? I've worked…

Two projects that are enormous successes, both with more contributors than any code that you've ever touched, I would wager. "Messes". Indeed. To your questions, while you're rheto…

That code fails to tell the programmer why it's in the application logic and not defined in the database schema Why isn't it a GUID? Why is it 32 bits instead of 64? Why is it sign…

Do you have github/sourceforge? I'd love to read some of your non-trivial code. Read almost any non-trivial successful project for good examples. The Linux kernel. Firefox. etc. Th…

Just to be clear, the person I responded said, in effect, that the code did X. They made code that did Y, and then realized it didn't do X. That is the story of a million ill conce…

I'm not meaning to insult you Sure you are. And that's okay.

I hope that caricature gives you some comfort in your utter mediocrity.

What a useful contribution.

I'll happily be "so brave" and reiterate a simple truism of software development -- comments are the battle cry of terrible developers. They are the crutch of people who can't read…

This is overly cynical. When people say "Why don't they just...", it is a sincere question, not a rhetorical statement. "Oh radiation...that makes sense". "Oh they had to bake the …

After the recent discussion about code-comments, that sort of code is exactly the sort that requires an explanatory comment. If the code isn't the clearest comment you have, you're…

This post was about iPad being (almost) ready to be the primary computer in some professional tasks Writing, which is in many ways the lowest common denominator of all computing de…

Isn't it ironic that anyone discusses it on Scott's blog and not on their own blog?

Blogging is dead. I ran a fairly successful blog (front paged here a number of times). I recently cut the cord and abandoned it. The blogging tail is getting shorter and shorter as…

It's very strange how you think you're setting me straight. I wonder if you really think you're enlightening me here. I am very aware of social nuances and cues. I have no lack of …

This is exactly it. This submission is about a restaurant removing the smartphone from one's person, and the post I replied to took significant issue with people putting their smar…

you have no problem with cell phone conversations at the table It isn't the lowest common denominator. It is the evolution of society, empowered by new communication methods. I nee…
