Treating your child with adult-like respect is one of the principles of RIE parenting. Worth reading more about, if you want to learn more about different parenting styles.
I'm so glad you asked this question. I rarely see people question assertions like this with regards to parenting or children's behavior.
Alfie Kohn's book, "The myth of the spoiled child", spends a lot of time pointing out that evidence behind claims like this are not only deficient of data, but are claims that seem to be made continuously throughout history of the latest generation of children.
I've run into that iOS push re-send bug a few times, but I've had trouble finding any information about the bug online. It seems to only happen to me for scheduled push notifications, but not immediate push notifications. Do you have any online resources that talk about this bug?
We haven't been able to reliably reproduce the problem and haven't found much about it online. I've filed a bug report here if you'd like to add your two cents:
Some friends and I have been working on this app for a few months. We wanted a way to track our football predictions throughout the entire season, and compete against each other on who makes better predictions. Let me know if you have any feedback: ryan@pickmoto.com. Thanks HN!
If you're interested in fitness and exercise, read "The First 20 Minutes" by Gretchen Reynolds (http://www.amazon.com/The-First-20-Minutes-Surprising/dp/159...). It's somewhat a review of the current state of scientific thought in exercise (tons of studies are cited throughout the book)
Agreed. I found the mapreduce criticisms to be a little off:
> Now instead of fixing a bad implementation or fixing the underlaying architectural issues, MongoDB is moving to Hadoop.
I don't think that's accurate. They have a new "aggregation framework" coming that is meant to replace mapreduce. It could be a wrapper around hadoop, but I couldn't find anything documented about that. I completely agree that a blocking mapreduce is annoying, however, does any framework have a non-blocking mapreduce? I haven't tried many mapreduce implementations out, so this is a genuine question.
The aggregation framework is meant to fill a gap between SQLs SUM, COUNT, AVG, etc without requiring a full map/reduce. The Hadoop integrations are unrelated and are just a nice little bonus that they added.
I don't believe RavenDB blocks. Instead, it returns the results along with a flag to indicate if any of the source data may have been modified while the operation was running.
You're right, all RavenDB indexing operations (including Map/Reduce) are done on background threads. When you query, it returns a flag (as you say) indicating if the index is currently stale or not.
