    At some point free markets become fiction. There's no financially viable way to start competing businesses in markets as entrenched as mobile OSes. Otherwise this would have happen…

    Until it does ;) But I still agree - if the benchmark was in memory, Stoolap might be optimized for speed. Sqlite is optimized for persistence, so you have to benchmark on disk and…

    Not a security expert and also curious about implications: I always considered it the best solution to have both: VPN encryption and TLS encryption over the VPN. Different OSI Laye…

    I checked the source of the original (like maybe many of you) to check how they actually did it and it was... simpler than expected. I drilled myself so hard to forget tables as la…

    I would really be interested in an actual comparison, where e.g. someone compares the full TCO of a mysql server with backup, hot standby in another data center and admin costs. On…
