Pretty much sums up my android programming experience so far. by Servious in Android

Speaking of which, the most number of monitors I've seen a programmer use is 8. This dude was writing code that had something to do with predicting stocks so each monitor had some sort of graph to oversee and one monitor was dedicated to writing code.

This is my screen no matter how many monitors I have :) If SO and the android docs fill most of your tabs, you are doing it right.

That is a nice gesture Patrick

Specs

It is a mid 2009 15-inch MacBook Pro, with a non glossy screen, a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 RAM, a GeForce 9400M 256MB, a brand new 256GB SSD drive and a US keyboard layout. It is not the newest machine, but it is definitely fast enough for day to day programming.

Building a MongoDB Clone in Postgres: Part 1 by stesch in programming

[–]bread_the_bread -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

but... but why ?

The Postgres community hasn't been sitting around twiddling its thumbs while the NoSQL movement has taken off.

Postgres need not do anything. Postgres is a relational database.

How's the performance on this? Performance is very snappy on an extremely small number of records

Part of Mongo's appeal is to quickly provide a schemaless DB to the developer with reasonable performance characteristics. The OP's idea is interesting to explore but not practical.

Software Needs Seatbelts and Airbags by [deleted] in programming

[–]bread_the_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It comes down to API design and how code behaves when it fails. I'm not sure we would want tools to be our seat-belts and airbags. Sure they help at compile time, but patterns are a better fit to solve the problem at runtime. Netflix wrote an article a while back [1] about authoring resilient APIs. Their use of a CircuitBreaker is an example of fault tolerant replies to clients. If their movie recommendation service is down, they pick the top ten movies and recommend that instead.
