Yes! The ability to be outside, pull out your phone, and get an almost-to-the-minute awareness of when it was going to rain felt magical, right out of Back to the Future 2. I used …

For me, in college, it was Age of Empires. We'd have late-night LAN sessions with roommates and friends and when I eventually crashed into bed, my brain would continue strategizing…

Interesting ... curious what the replacement cost of these membranes are as compared to installation and ongoing maintenance of wind turbines. Also, as always, curious how having t…

If Deis was that valuable, one could assume that EY agreed to this arrangement because they are low on cash and needed the money. How often is a company, in effect, acquired twice?…

Considering MongoDB has only been around for the "last few years", I think it is maturing well. You are certainly free to call it the PHP of Databases, but there are a lot of devel…

People who swing hammers all day look at screwdrivers as the most confounding things. Why would you ever use a screw when you have nails?

Man, I need to go break the news to our customers that are successfully inserting millions of documents per hour (and their apps running nicely ... probably an app you have used) t…

Slower than Postgres ... ha.
