• Could a hashing algorithm be used to save space in a database?

  - by Zubair

  I have been using git a lot recently and I quite like the concept of how GIT avoid duplicating similar data by using a hashing function based on sha1. I was wondering if current databases do something similar, or is this inefficient for some reason?

• What are the benfits of a standalone Windows .exe vs an installer?

  - by Zubair

  I am trying to make an application as easy to deploy as possible for Windows and I am trying to choose between packaging the application as a .exe or using an installer. I was wondering if anyone had opinions on the relative merits of either way? My preference would be to use a .exe as it would be just click and run for a user.

• Is there an efficient way to query a document database?

  - by Zubair

  Since document databases store records in tree like structures the fields will never be at set positions. Does this make querying a document database inefficient, or would indexes just be used as with a normal relational database?

• Network bandwidth bottleneck for sorting of mapreduce intermediate keys?

  - by Zubair

  I have been learning the mapreduce algorithm and how it can potentially scale to millions of machines, but I don't understand how the sorting of the intermediate keys after the map phase can scale, as there will be: 1,000,000 x 1,000,000 : potential machines communicating small key / value pairs of the intermediate results with each other? Isn't this a bottleneck?

• Returning an error code in Erlang

  - by Zubair

  I'm writing some Erlang code and I'm very unsure whether I should let everything fail fast. One problem I find with fail fast is that for the developer/user the exception generated is pretty meaningless. Any idea what I should return which would not give esoteric and hard to read stack traces?

• Is Pseudo typing in Erlang the way to get types?

  - by Zubair

  For example, to denote a String I could use: {string,"hjggjhhggJ"} and a list would be: {list, [1,2,3]} : I guess I have found that I am running into situations where I need types, for example to distinguish between strings and lists and I am not sure how to proceed. I do however want to use whatever technique I choose everywhere in my Erlang application for consistency, and not just for strings and lists. Any advice?

• Against the use of "if" statments. Is there always a "clean" alternative?

  - by Zubair

  I have recently seen alot of activity saying that "if" statements should be banned. However in some of the alternatives people are just doing an "if" statement but discussed as a "case" statement, or as an overloaded function in pattern matching languages. Is it really such a clean solution to replace a well understood concept with a more obscure one?
