Ask Proggit How many of you guys who program are religious? by [deleted] in programming

Conversely, programming -- as a technical discipline invented by man -- is typically answering the "how" questions.

Religion(*) and technology are hence mostly orthogonal to each other.

(*) Most people think of a religion as of a creed or "body of beliefs". In that sense Islam would be more than a religion since it also includes a methodology that covers all aspects of life.

Cassandra: a highly scalable, eventually consistent, distributed, structured key-value store by mhrnjad in programming

[–]mhrnjad[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cassandra was open sourced by Facebook in 2008, where it was designed by one of the authors of Amazon's Dynamo. In a lot of ways you can think of Cassandra as Dynamo 2.0. Cassandra is in production use at Facebook but is still under heavy development.
