A merry HighScalability to all and to all a good night:
- Santa: 3.7 million appointments; iPad2 == 1986 Cray 2 6 processor super computer; Watson: 200 million pages of natural language content
- Funny: a cautionary tale about storage and backup. Where is my data? I’m kinda big deal after all! I should have listened to my postdoc, he can build cheaper storage than you can.
- Nothing stirs up more energy than when someone says they are abandoning and old beloved framework for a newer sexier model. Feelings of betrayal and abandonment leak over everything, which is always a good draw for reality social networking. Here Paul Querna tells why The Switch: Python to Node.js. And here we see the response on Hacker News. Python got the job done for cloudkick, they were acquired, but they wanted something more going forward, a trophy wife if you will, after the first wife put them through law school. Good discussion all around. You may find something that helps in your own platform decision. Or you just may find it entertaining.
