Why MongoDB is a bad choice for storing our scraped data
Scrapinghub Blog

MongoDB was used early on at Scrapinghub to store scraped data because it’s convenient. Scraped data is represented as (possibly nested) records which can be serialized to JSON. The schema is not known ahead of time and may change from one job to the next. We need to support browsing, querying and downloading the stored data. This was very easy to implement using MongoDB (easier than the alternatives available a few years ago) and it worked well for some time. Usage has grown from a simple store for scraped data used on a few projects to the back end of our Scrapy Cloud platform. Now we are experiencing limitations with our current architecture and rather than continue to work with MongoDB, we have decided to move to a different technology (more in a later blog post). Many customers are surprised to hear that we are moving away from MongoDB, I hope this blog post helps explain why it didn’t work for us.  Locking We have a large volume of short queries which are mostly write

A Trillion Dollar Math Trick
Gödel's Lost Letter and P=NP

How linear algebra can make databases go really fast Mike Stonebraker is one of the world’s leading expert on database technology. He started in academe at Berkeley, is now again in academe at MIT, and has launched a raft of successful companies. He is currently the co-founder and chief technology officer of at least three startups in the database area. One is called “Data Tamer” and is a joint venture with researchers from QCRI—Qatar Computing Research Institute—see this release. Today I would like to talk about his presentation at the TTI Vanguard meeting on “Ginormous Systems” in DC. His talk was on “Seven Big Data Megatrends.” By the way the word “Ginormous” is a real word–see here for the formal definition. I initially thought the Vanguard organizers had made up the word, but it is real. It should be obvious that Ginormous means large, actually really Large. This Vanguard meeting was dedicated to Ginormous sys

Desk Ideas
deborahwoodmurphy

Recently, I came across this great idea for a desk.  What is unusual is that the sides are wire baskets….maybe the kind that you use to burn trash.  I think that this would give someone a really great desk/work table for not so much money.  This got me started on some research to investigate other novel desk ideas.  First, here is the idea using the wire baskets.  It is a contemporary desk which does not seem to take up much space. The top could be a piece of painted wood, an old door, or panel from some home improvement project. If you have lots of money to spend and you want a really special desk, then look no further than Restoration Hardware.  Any airplane buff or pilot would probably love a desk like this one. This aluminum desk from Restoration Hardware would probably be as indestructible as you could find. Recently, I saw a steel desk at a local thrift store.  It was only $15.00.  I thought how great it would be if it were sand blasted to make it look new and then used in

Industrial Storage Solution
mrsadorable

I love the character features of our 1920′s bungalow but unfortunately our old lady doesn’t have huge amounts of storage space. I had been on the hunt for an interesting storage solution to use against one wall in our bedroom. I wanted something with decent sized drawers that could house shoes, gym gear – anything really that could need a hiding place! I was considering this drapers cabinet, however I think it would have been too large. So you can imagine my delight when we stumbled across 25% off furniture at Industria yesterday. They had a couple of options that might have worked but hubby and I really had a thing for the weathered steel look of the little beauties below. As there wasn’t anything exactly the right size the store manager kindly let us rearrange their shop floor. We put the four drawer and the two drawer side by side and voilà! I’m happy with the contrast of the metal with our wooden skirting boards and door and I really like that we could

Creative Storage Walls
mecc interiors | design bites

Storage is always useful, but it is certainly not something we always want to see front and centre in a space.  I love built-in storage walls as a practical and discreet solution.  While great for any setting, they are particularly useful in small spaces. Lighthaus, a new development in Toronto, designed by STAMP Architecture, Cecconi Simone, and Janet Rosenberg. Toronto-based Great Gulf Homes is in pre-construction with Lighthaus, a development of twenty (20) luxury townhomes in within the city.  The design team from Cecconi Simone devised some great storage walls within the model suite (shown directly above and below). More from Lighthaus… Mounting televisions into built-ins is nothing new.  What I love about the concept design, however, is the clever niches that are framed to provide artful showcases for books, sculpture, or anything else you might wish to display. Contemporary storage system from Acercbis. Built-in storage does not need to feature a flat facade, as demonstrat

Antiques haul
20 packs of paper

Happy Monday everyone!  I’ve had quite an eventful weekend!  Mac’s parents came to visit on Friday and Saturday so we were busy playing hosts – showing them around, doing some shopping, and going out to eat.  They also brought down their famous chicken dumpling soup so Mac and I had that for lunch today.  Yum.  And then he wanted s’mores so I had three of them.  Aargh!  Eating healthy is so hard for me!  I have no self-control whatsoever.  It’s been a little over a month and I haven’t lost any weight at all! So that’s my fitness update.  In other news, Mac’s mom loves collecting antiques so I found a cute little antique shop near our apartment (never knew it was there!) and we all went antique shopping over the weekend.  I walked out with a small wall cabinet and an old mason jar.  I know, I know – two items probably don’t qualify as a “haul” but I needed a catchy title for this post  :-) When I saw this little cab

Survival Of The Dumbest
Digital Minefield

Once computers were very big (an entire floor of a large office building) and very fast (or so it seemed to puny humans). Today, they are much bigger, not in real size but in memory and storage. They are also much faster—in real time. Their speed is beyond human comprehension, like the speed of light. Computer memory and storage have become so big, using it has almost zero cost. As a result, software makers feel free to be needlessly wasteful. Computers have also become so fast, the same software makers can afford to be mind-numbingly inefficient. Hardware doesn’t just grow in power and speed, it also adds new gizmos. Cameras, touch-screens, and the ever present Internet weren’t even dreams in the beginning. However, we still need software to operate the new gizmos. And wasteful and inefficient software cannot produce smarter computers. The overabundance of storage and speed subverts the incentive to improve software. Without the environmental pressure from limited resources (e.g., sto
