Hair-trigger, there.
You're absolutely right. I have zero tolerance when it comes to cultural acceptance, denial, or apologizing for rape. We all know what the title is referencing, and it's implying that there are circumstances when "no means no" isn't true. The content of the article may be unrelated, but the title is still problematic.
Headlines like this are the casual references that makes tech a boys club. You don't think you're doing any harm, but by distorting an important argument about rape, you're undermining the sentiment behind "No means no" even as you use it in a different context.
Could we please stop with the intellectual terrorism on HN? People can't write a blog entry anymore without being labelled either homophobic or sexist. What's your take on humor btw? You know, like stand-up comedians making fun of white people or making fun of black people?
There's nothing funny about racism, sexism, or other discrimination. And if calling out people for being utterly insensitive and dismissive of minorities makes me an "intellectual terrorist", I'm happy to accept that label.

What is your usage of it? Saying it works for you might mean nothing at all if you do 5 ops/second on average and have Non-gamers are perfectly happy with a shitty graphics card too.
Does it matter? We do a pretty continuous 400k ops/s worth of Mongo, but I don't think that's necessarily going to fix anyone's issues with it.
How many machines is that?

Consider their great homepage scenario:
- click "try it out"
- type "tutorial"
Or the restriction-less API:
- collections simply come into being.
- store arbitrary objects without schemas
- create arbitrary indexes
- search by arbitrary conditions
Yes, this is mostly marketing and usability. No, you can't skip on those and rely only on technical superiority - you have to fight on all fronts.

My take on humor is that if you need to make racist jokes to be "funny", you're pretty bad at your job as a comedian. There's nothing funny about racism, sexism, or other discrimination. And if calling out people for being utterly insensitive and dismissive of minorities makes me an "intellectual terrorist", I'm happy to accept that label.

I am not discounting due to word choice, i am discounting because his points seem to be a rant based on the whim that software never has bugs or problems. For some mongo does exactly as advertised, for some it doesn't. It is the same argument that you can pose between eventual and immediate consistency. Also i will be the first to agree that Mongo does not hold up well to all points but to say that data gets lost is…
SO I think we're almost having two separate arguments here. On the one hand we're talking about Mongo working out of the box and on the other we're talking about developer skill. I'll agree with you that an unskilled developer is going to have a bad time running any Database, but I take issue with the idea that defaults aren't important. The default settings are the defaults for a reason. Whether that reason is ease…
I am not saying he is wrong, and i am not saying that mongo is wrong either. I feel, if you RTFM, that they are very very clear as to the state of things. They are not hiding anything and if anything they are providing and application state that is not ideal for said user too bad IMO. I am not going to setup a new linux box without changing the root password, or setup a wordpress site without altering the config and locking down apache. Did you know a linux system is not 100% secure out of the box, WHAT A SHOCKER.

With the default settings in MySQL if you shut down an innodb database incorrectly you will loose data if not the entire table, should we vilify them for the same thing.
