    i made a statement of fact. you claimed i didn't read the article. you called me a smartass. you made claims about measuring disk latency that could not be more wrong. but most of all you said i was wrong.

    then i call you out on it USING THE SAME PHRASING YOU USED, and then you attack that... YOU WERE WRONG. you are probably wrong more than you are right, which has helped you develop this accusatory defense mechanism. i do have a wife. i do have dogs. you might want to consider putting a little more about yourself on the internet... perhaps then someone could find you and educate you, monkey.

    first you replace "your" with "you're".... it takes a special kind of moron to do that.... then you claim measuring disk latency is something that is in some way more difficult or different than measuring any other kind of latency.

    how bout i did read the fucking article? how about i never said it was about network latency? how about measuring disk latency is no different than measuring ANY latency? how about db latency using optimized table handlers ends up becoming exactly a problem of disk latency?

    it's not just that is has rebar, it's also the implementation of the rebar. if it's ever exposed, then it's more susceptible to rust. many structures from before the 70s would have exposed rebar that ended up being the cause of early crumbling.

    mapping latency in a system using colored maps representing throughput has been a tool of db and network sysadmins for many many MANY years.

  11. Re:What language for business logic? on Objective-C Enters Top Ten In Language Popularity · · Score: 0
    if the application can be written so it just requires generic variables (such as PHP's variable implementation) where sanity checking is part of the application and not the platform, then it should be very easy to write your own translator in any language you choose.

    if the application relies on the platform to enforce variable types, then additional code will have to be inserted for platforms that don't provide such strict typing, a much more complicated task.

    i prefer to code in PHP for business logic apps and roll my own type checking, same as i prefer to code in C for server daemons and roll my own memory management...

    the marketing world is not about winning... it is about keeping the spin going... making sure everyone is confused enough to be convinced they had it right from the beginning.

    the best bet is to only ever use it in OSI sense, but also to capitalize it (i.e. "Open Source", not "open source")

    this is exactly my point... the spinsters in the industry push these ambiguous words like "open", "free", "proprietary", etc., like political spinsters push words like "liberal", "conservative", "socialist", etc.

    i am not willing to stand by and let lawyers effectively copyright and redefine the word "open". either way they are wrong... something isn't truly open if it comes with terms and conditions.

    Definitely not open source.

    this is my point... it IS open source when "open" is used as an adjective and "source" is used as a noun. you are using "open source" as if it meant something different than the sum of it's parts. it might not be the "open source" that you're talking about, but you can't truthfully say "it's not open source"... the source was made open.

    burglary is always premeditated. There's no way to accidentally burgle someone's house, or do it in a fit of passion, or in self-defense.

    NO way?

    "hey, look at that house... they left their back door open... hey look, a purse sitting on the table... hey look, various loose electronics."

    there are different laws dealing with crimes of "opportunity" that would apply to my example... i'm not sure why you think "accidentally" could apply, or where you got the idea that accidents imply a lack of premeditation.
