1. Obviously not *all* queries become valid! I can only guess that you are worried that all queries involving incomplete GROUP BY clauses will somehow have columns magically guessed for them and thereby become valid, but that's not the case at all. Only queries where the missing GROUP BY terms can be *automatically and unambiguously* inferred will be converted; if you have e.g. a table `tbl` with two unrelated fields `a` and `b`, then `SELECT a, b FROM tbl GROUP BY a` will still fail just as before -- I guarantee it. 2. The previous sentence also addresses this point.

I'm not sure -- but all the numbers quoted on the storage bench page are simply amazing anyways. Also the unTRIM'd performance numbers not anything what I've seen in the real world (I have experience with the vertex 2 pro, x25m and the 320). Performance was revolutionary in all cases and uncached performance for postgres is close enough to cached to not matter. They really are that fast and no significant degredation has been noted. What I *have* noticed with SSD is early burnout in the case of the vertex 2 and there are numerous reports of power event problems for the intel line -- supposedly they are on top of that for the newer drives (both the x25-m and e are hopeless).

Crappy language you can outsource to India/China, will not make outsourcing produce better code. It will still produce crappy code. So why bother 'optimizing' a language for outsourcing? Since either way, it will still be crappy. Why pander language design to outsourcing, since outsourcing will take any language, and produce shit?

Brave. I've read this is nowhere near as stable as the Win7 beta 1 was (I too ran it as my primary OS when it came out). This "developer Preview" is apparently pre-beta 1 and not feature complete (unlike Win7 Beta 1, which was feature complete). I'm sticking it on my Lenovo S10 when I get home. There's nothing important on that.

- http://www.grantgalitz.org/gamecenter/ - https://github.com/grantgalitz/GameBoy-Online Maybe you should have seen how much time I actually spent trying to optimize it so browsers work better with it. Like replacing switches with functions in arrays (and these function would be swapped out due to memory maps being different per-game cartridge). Also firefox doesn't like to inline (while chrome's V8 does). Edit: HOLY COPY PASTA ERROR

Scala is even better for small problems. Java is so verbose, that tackling small problems in it is time consuming, just from the amount of crap that has to be typed.

That's straight WPF. It's really not bad to use after the learning curve, and incredibly productive because it allows you to declare your UI in XAML. And actually, a button in this case is way more than just a widget (even though it looks like one with the default ControlTemplate). It is an abstract clickable object that can contain any arbitrary visual content. This is very powerful in that it allows you to declaratively compose complex UI's using simple components.

>Debugging a metro application works fine, but it fills the entire screen. This is likely going to be impossible to work with unless all developers have multiple monitors. You can debug fine in split mode. I've seem emulators demo'd in some of the other videos from build that allow you to pick the resolution of the device (and flick into portrait mode.. etc.). Looks a lot like the WP7 emulator.

Nah. I'm on a 1Gbps pipe at work, and it's coming in at 79KB/s average right now. And yes, I'm one of the network engineers here, and no, it's not my network's fault. This image is hosted on Akamai, so your results will differ by region as you're getting data from what Akamai deems the geographically closest server that has that image. I just hopped into a branch office that has multiple DS3s available and is only 15 miles away, and I'm downloading at 2.2MB/s there. If I looked around a little more I'm sure I could find something faster. tl;dr: it's not always the connection. Sometimes it's just a slow download server.

I've done DOM manipulation too, but general math performance is seriously lagging in JS. It was an experiment to see if it was possible, and it does run full speed in Firefox / Safari / Chrome. It's just a general thought that JS *could* be way faster if it had static typing. Oh, and https://github.com/grantgalitz/GameBoy-Online and http://www.grantgalitz.org/gamecenter/ "FTFY. If js is slow for you, then any scripting language would be slow for you." - Obvious hurt is obvious. This was only an experiment to push the limits, and by doing so, one could see there's not much room for performance, though day-to-day stuff is ok. The thing is Java is different, but yet similar in how it ends up executing. Java boils down to bytecode that runs through Oracle's HotSpot on-demand, in a similar fashion to how JavaScript is done (JS compiles to browser specific bytecode then to machine code on-demand (Well, some keep it as bytecode, while others do very cheap full-JIT)).

Yesterday, I had realized some code I was writing in Scala maps to Haskell monads, and so I finally understood monads. Now Scala doesn't need monads because it is written on a different base ( though you can write a normal monad in it ), but I realized what I was writing exhibited monadic behaviours.

> I hate having to type to search for programs. It's inefficient, and most people imagine they are much quicker typing but studies show again and again this is a cognitive illusion (illusion of more difficult task == feeling more productive when completed). I'm sorry, but that is just not true. On OS X: Cmd+Space -> type first two or three letters of the program -> boom! How is that slower than navigating to /Applications and poking around with the mouse until you find the right program? On Windows the mouse UI is even worse. The hit areas on the entries in the Start menu are so small that you have to be very careful if you want to find the right program. And scrolling in a menu? Yetch. Of course, launching apps from the Win7 Taskbar and OS X Dock is much faster. Is that what you were talking about? If not, please cite the study you mentioned.

JS has a severe issue with having numbers run through as "js numbers," which are slow and inefficient. Which is why I'm complaining that js sucks to begin with (yet somehow I still wanted to do an emulator in js. :/ ). TL;DR Let's feed the troll today and see what happens.

Well, if I'm going to get crappy code as a result, I would rather that code be done in an easier to read language; not an esoteric language. This way, if I do have to do updates to said crappy code I don't have to wrap my head around unnecessary concepts that were implemented badly/incorrectly.

>Since we have now learnt that elements are copied during every reallocation, it would be a much wiser choice to store pointers to objects in the vector rather than the entire objects. This improves performance Note how it also loses performance by spilling all your objects throughout address space instead of keeping them all tightly together. This of course loses performance on accesses to the objects which are not measured by author ;) It would be a much wiser choice to use std::deque in such a case.

If only... The any method isn't supported in L2S queries, only the contains method. Edit: [msdn documentation](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738550.aspx) Edit 2: apparently it is supported in L2E, but it isn't in L2S Edit 3: also check the posted link under the subtitle "Using Expression Variables in Subqueries", it gives an example along the lines you used there. L2E I know replaces L2S pretty much, but I still use L2S a good bit, .dbml seems to be a little lighter than .edmx. I could be wrong there, but it seems true... Could be personal preference and confirmation bias.

> The interesting thing is that non-Java developers have no problem picking up Scala. I think it more a social problem of the Java ecosystem and not that Scala is hard. I think you've missed a key point from the article: different people have different strengths. I'm assuming you're not implying that *all* non-Java programmers pick up Scala easily (and, if you are, I would be interested to see where you've read/heard that), so I'd speculate that, rather than it being a fault of the Java culture/ecosystem, it's a fault of a type of people *involved* in that ecosystem/culture. People in Java who pick up Scala easily probably share attributes with those outside of Java who also easily pick up Scala, and it's these shared attributes that allow them to pick Scala up easily, not necessarily their background. (that said, I also think the 50% mentioned in the article was completely pulled out of the quote's author's ass - not imply that it's greater or less than the true percentage, but that I highly doubt the appropriate research was done to back up that number)

On multiple occassions Microsoft stressed that this isn't just another layer and that it sits directly on top of the kernel itself. Now I won't lie to you, until yesterday I thought that Win32 was the kernel. Perhaps what they mean is that it sits on top of kernel32.dll and doesn't use user32.dll or gdi32.dll.

no I dont, I'm just going off of what others have said about it being syntactic sugar. the docs do say it's all native, so that also makes me think its just auto-ref counting. if you used strait C++ you could always manually refcount the same objects.

I like how you pull out one case where they had a good, up-to-date API before and decided to keep it, and conveniently left out all the bits where they've updated their API to keep up with technology moving on. Secondly, "stick it in another thread" is a seriously horrible workaround for slow functions. With a decent API, threads should barely ever need to be used unless your program logic actually requires them - distributed processing across cores, etc.

This is fine for a tablet or a phone, but not for a PC. Windows 8 does away with none of those, and looks to improve on most of them. I think you might be missing the point. *Metro style apps are not for desktop use*. The Start Screen is not just to house Metro style apps, it just replaces the current Start menu. It can be used to launch your apps just like you would hunting via the start menu, although with the dock and the start screen searching, there's virtually no need for that.

I won't argue with you on that point, even Microsoft admits that for some types of applications the chrome-heavy look of Photoshop or Visual Studio is the correct UI design. However, they also need to deal with the fact that they are bleeding customers like mad. Most people aren't like us, they neither want nor need a rich UI environment. They need something that is simple and elegant and easy to maintain. Microsoft has already lost the mobile space and it will takes years to get it back. If the same thing happens to the desktop space then they are screwed.
