In Topic: Laptop Suggestions

18 April 2013 - 05:50 PM

Just graduating college and going into the software field?  If so, I'd go sleek and slim for your personal laptop.  You're likely to end up with a big bulky powerhouse from work, always nice to have something more portable too.


In Topic: Will mysql connection functions really disappear from PHP?

Earthenware- that error is related to too many local sockets being opened up in the same port range.  If this is something you're seeing normally under your traffic patterns, you might want to consider using persistent connections so that you're not constantly spinning up new sockets.

In Topic: most eficient way to do a dictionary search

Yeah, MongoDB would work for this.  Reason I'm suggesting it is that you're basically trying to do that with the earlier suggestions - get everything that looks like it could be a match (Map) - and then filter out just the ones that you want (Reduce).  Doing it with just MySQL and PHP means that this process in single threaded/single instance orientated and won't scale well to huge datasets - might not be an issue in this specific use case, but if it's a learning project, might as well go big.  

Mongo runs a single thread per instance in its map/reduce handling, hence the idea to shard it across multiple instances.

This sounds like a problem for map-reduce across a few shards.  Any reason you're picking MySQL?

Barracuda's e-mail security service might be what you're looking for.  Depending on your size you can buy it from them or buy a fractional license from a reseller.
