The issue probably comes from the fact that web browsers try to render HTML even if it’s not perfect. HTML isn’t super strict, so browsers will still display pages with small mistakes. There was a push to make HTML stricter with XHTML, which enforced rules like case-sensitive elements and closing tags, kind of like XML. But it didn’t really stick. Browsers had a hard time with those stricter rules, so HTML’s more relaxed approach stuck around. For some time I really tried to use XHTML when createing weh pages, but then I asked my self why all of the trouble when browsers don't follow the standards.
I was working remote before COVID. I'm not based in USA. Remote has given me opportunity to work with people that for sure would never come to my home country.
Maybe this is like a chicken and the egg problem? I see it in my country. Investors would like to come and build a factory, but there is no work force. So they go elsewhere.
It all depends. I consider my self to be generalist at the place where I'm at the moment. But if I were to switch companies at some other place I would be considered an expert.
This could work if you have people that know how to operate your server. I guess that it is not the same if you have your own rack in some data center and AWS servers. What about routers, networking and all of the other things?
He does "disclose" in related blog post [1]: "I don’t work for Neo4j anymore, why am I here defending them? Well… that and the fact that I still have a dinghy load of vested shares I have to sell so I can buy a place in the Villages and begin a new life as a golf cart driving day drinker."
This seems like a series of post on benchmarking results from different vendors so if he "disclosed" it once I don't think that there is need for another one.
Yes, running a benchmark on your data is the only way. I've taken a look at both benchmarks (the one from OP and the one from Memgraph). They seem like different types of benchmarks and different approaches. But I still find it interesting that although the numbers in OP's are not so much in favor of Memgraph it turns out that Memgrpah is faster than Neo4j in large number of benchmark queries. So yes, it all comes down to type of benchmark and data that you use.
I've also noticed (from OPs tweet https://twitter.com/maxdemarzi/status/1613075177704677376) that he used Enterprise version of Neo4j, but it doesn't say which Memgrpah version was used. I don't have experience with this two databases, but usually ENT versions are somewhat better than community ones.
Wow. Didn't ever think that there is something like this. I've heard about UML, but I've always thought that it is something related only to programming.
At company where I work we have few people that are working in developer relations team. One of them is in change of posting things to company profiles. There is no pressure on anyone to post/share/copy-paste tweeets, etc. If someone wants to do it - it is fine.
