Siri and I are not getting along well this morning I don't know why

She's busy trying to figure out your password.

She's got to be doing something, because I just clarified the disaster in that other thread and it took me like two minutes speaking very slowly to get that post out.

Databases scale vertically. That means, it’s a lot easier and more cost efficient to buy a super beefy machine for your database, than it is to spread the database over multiple machines with sharding or replication.

Why Postgres? That seems like the least logical choice for this.

Not the least, it's better than something expensive or even MariaDB. It has great performance. If you never needed to scale, it might easily be best. But, as he's already found, he needs to scale.

Ya I guess I didn't mean least. It's obviously better than Oracle or Firebird. I just meant out of the plethora of options ( I was thinking Elasticsearch or Solr) this seemed like it wouldn't be considered.

Yeah... CouchDB, MongoDB, all kinds of things that seem like they'd be better for this.

Good that someone is doing this. There are people who like Unity and will want to have it keep moving forward even if more slowly.

It wouldn't be bad if a few things were changed. It was just super slow to do a lot of tasks.

Not really meant for people doing a lot of tasks. It's kind of a "one task at a time" interface.

I just meant a lot of tasks are slow. Not a lot at once, just a lot of the normal things you would do were slow.

Oh, got you man 🙂

2 more GB of RAM and an SSD that thing would run Win7/8/10 no problem.

Yep, no more miserable computer.

Our travel is cutting way back for the year, though, so after mid-May I'll be roughly stationary for some time.

Do you know where you will be stationary at?

Dallas

@scottalanmiller things like bootstrap are all about mouse vs finger, pointer vs touch

Westinghouse

@travisdh1 No, yeah that's a good point.

Just didn't think about it like that.

No surprise there. It's just the NVidia Shield in a different box. Nice for what it is, but really underpowered.

It's rather odd that we have such a low standard on consoles vs other hardware. Tablets are obsolete at 6 months old, but console are still relevant at 6 years old.

From the impressions I got, the Switch is mostly tablet anyhow...

It's built from the guts of one, literally.

@mlnews What I read of that article seemed like "We have no news, we need to talk more about this thing from last week."
