    Great discussion on noSQL, MySQL vs. MongoDB :)

  2. Andy Holland says:

    Does /dev/null support sharding?

  3. Andrew Leslie says:

    I love this! So many guys at one of the companies I work at want to do
    Mongo DB.

    “MongoDB is web scale” – 5 minutes of pure unadulterated joy for any
    software engineer.

    Примерно так все вчера и происходило :)

    …you are going to blow some project to hell because you get a woody
    playing with software like it’s a sex doll…

    Can’t believe MongoDB Inc managed to raise $400M with a subpar technology
    that can hardly scale past a handful of servers. Obviously the gullible
    shareholders haven’t seen this video. MongoDB bites the dust hard in nearly
    all benchmarks featuring Cassandra and even more so with Aerospike.

    my dick is an excellent database, it handles joins really well and scales
    when needed

    The funniest part is that people who actually use mysql/mariadb are just as
    clueless as the mongodb ‘tard. NoSQL is great where it makes sense, but
    mysql never makes sense.

    Of course most people who use mysql think that the relational in relational
    database has to do with how tables “relate” to each other and also use PHP
    making them epic retards.

    If you need a relational database, Postgresql is the way to go instead of
    using that crappy under-featured buggy mess known as mysql.

    Just saw this for the first time. It has harsh language in it but made me
    laugh…

    I know that my SQL friends will get a kick out of this…

    This is so racist

  12. James Bibby says:

    I’m a noSQL fan, but this shows some of the tradeoffs… and a little bit
    of a laugh. NSFW really.

    Does /dev/null support sharding? Is it web scale?

    This video being four years old explains a lot. I’m never using a
    relational DB again if I can avoid it.

  17. jakx2ob says:

    I heard ENGINE=BLACKHOLE in MySQL is pretty fast too.

  18. Andrej Ricnik says:

    Oldies, but goodies … :)

  19. Jonathan Gros-Dubois says:

    Its funny. But I think it’s wrong to say that a particular technology is
    never applicable. NoSQL has its purposes (for example, Redis makes a really
    good lightweight session store). Also, I think SQL has a LOT of drawbacks –
    I really hate dealing with ORMs – They feel redundant. That said, it’s
    really important to be able to query the data in complex ways. I haven’t
    done enough work with NoSQL to know how effective their query ‘language’ is
    but I’ve heard good things about Cassandra.

  20. MrAdnan252 says:

    Any respectable financial institution knows to use KDB.

  21. Bradley Batt says:

    /dev/null is a good choice for a small, bootstrapped startup, but once you
    get beyond a certain point it really doesn’t scale well. Do you really want
    to be maintaining multiple servers and configuring /dev/null on all of them?

    If you are serious about web scale you need to go with a true DaaS solution

    That’s just weird

    “If that’s what they need to do to get those kick-ass benchmarks, then it
    is a good design.” LOLOLOLOL
