True | __j_random_hacker | null | 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.

True | merlinm | null | 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).

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).

True | [deleted] | null | 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.

"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)). | null | 0 | 1316011696 | True | 0 | c2jtb7u | t3_kf4hn | null | t1_c2jtb7u | t1_c2jt5pv | null | 1427599075 | 9 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

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?

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. | null | 0 | 1316013109 | False | 0 | c2jthlk | t3_kf43e | null | t1_c2jthlk | t3_kf43e | null | 1427599151 | 23 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

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) | null | 0 | 1316013372 | False | 0 | c2jtiro | t3_kf2xi | null | t1_c2jtiro | t1_c2jsctk | null | 1427599166 | 5 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

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.
