HN comment order"Tokutek claims to improve MongoDB performance 20x. It is unclear if this also means losing 20x as many documents." ROFL.
Protip: each of the things has a (occasionally humorous) description, so don't just blow past everything because you're excited to find a use for the 500 Pokémon you had memorized by heart ten years ago (no personal experience involved here at all /s).
Lots of fun, though don't miss the comments. Some are gold: > Tokutek claim to improve MongoDB performance 20x. Unclear if this also mean lose 20x as many documents.
Thanks, this was pretty funny. I also didn't realize how many different Pokémon there are today, definitely more than in the first Pokémon game on that clunky grey Gameboy I had :)
