This is perhaps the most depressing response I've received to my article. As I said in my article this is far less about git and more about the chasm that has grown between Apache …

This was a good analysis of why the prominent CouchDB companies didn't spent time/money evangelizing the project but it didn't cover the dramatic difference w/ how 10gen handles Mo…

you know, it's really frustrating how reasonable you always are :) your expectations with coffeescript have always been great and in line with reality. i think the frustration isaa…

I wrote this, quite a while ago. MongoDB implemented an append only log which is not enabled by default. The rest of the article is still accurate, and the fact that durability isn…

on top of IndexedDatabase (which in Chrome uses leveldb).

It actually works with any file, it's just that HTML files get a DOM and jQuery to help you manipulate the page. It's conceivable to add additional tools in the future (YUI, dojo) …

node.js camp, which will be awesome, is a tutorial day where you'll go from zero to a functioning realtime application in one day. Joyent is doing a great job putting it together a…

More announcements soon, be patient and try not to be a dick.

this was part of my initial reaction. when CouchDB is under concurrent load it does a "group commit" style write anyway and can batch nearly as efficiently as bulk docs. the only a…

would you be willing to write up how your writes were outrunning the compactor in a little more detail in either a blog post or in an email to the apache couchdb dev list? we've be…

i find this whole thing a lot more of an experiment in clojure performance than CouchDB throughput. he doesn't attach a handler to the response on his writes and is queuing writes …

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if callbacks are so hard how come all these liberal arts majors write a shit load of working jQuery code? I think the real problem is tha…

traditionally durability isn't considered a sliding scale, it's a goal/priority which requires you to implement multiple features and fallbacks to handle everything from invalid wr…

it's easy to make something fast if you don't want durability, just look at memcached.

copied from my blog: @kristina for some reason wordpress wanted me to moderate your post so sorry for the delay in it showing up. >> Whoopsy, got your emphasis wrong there ….. Seri…

that's kind of like saying "we told you our parachutes won't open sometimes. well, not in our conference talks or in our marketing but it's on our wiki and we blogged about it". if…

wait, seriously? the suggested default step 1 for MongoDB is to acquire 3 servers? i mean, no other database suggests such a huge default configuration. even knowing that their dat…
