I would love to see this feature implemented in a similar way for Emacs.


Adding support for other editors was something I am definitely mulling over, maybe version 2


We (emacs) already have like 5-6 ack modes, I beg of you, don't add to the list. Just find which one you like best and offer improvements.


That is true, but we don't have something like this peep open style, with a nice mac feel to it. Or am I missing one? I like this polished style instead of a fully integrated version in emacs.


Are you an Emacs user?


Yes, but features like ackMate, projectDrawer and visual style make me use Textmate quite a lot (for Ruby dev), which is a pitty because I'm used to my emacs shortcuts. I know most (all?) features are implemented in Emacs, but often in a more spartan way.


You haven't really absorbed why Emacs does things the way it does. Spend more time tinkering with Emacs Lisp and you'll see what I mean.


Trust me, I have been tinkering a lot with Emacs lisp, and I really miss some nice visual features. Spend some time tinkering with Textmate and see what I mean ;) I am all for leaving the mouse alone and efficiency, but working on a mac makes me a sucker for eye candy as well. Take for instance again peep open, which is in my opinion a nicely styled plugin, for which I would love to see a 'find in project' equivalent.


I am an experienced TextMate user, and when I went back to using Emacs after a hiatus with TextMate, one of the first things I did was import everything I liked about TextMate into Emacs.

The functionality you mention exists for Emacs.


Instead of telling me it exists, please show me a visually appealing 'find in project' plugin/package. Which got this whole discussion started in the first place...


Visually appealing is relative, if you like the way TextMate et al looks and value that sort of thing, Emacs isn't for you anyway.


Already exists in the form of ack mode, which is better integrated with the editor.

http://nschum.de/src/emacs/full-ack/

There are others, but this should suit anybody's needs.

Edited to provide examples.


Defunkt has actually ported a lot of cool textmate features including find-in-project over here in textmate.el: https://github.com/defunkt/textmate.el/


Does this release add any features that would keep you from going for a NoSQL solution? How does it for instance compare to MongoDB in terms of raw performance and scalability? (Not mentioning of course the difference in schema-less and relational design)


I have found Apples to Apples (fsync off in PgSQL) and doing key/value store in PgSQL, PgSQL performed on par with, or slightly faster than MongoDB, using my admittedly not fully baked KVPBench app - http://github.com/gmr/kvpbench.


FUN FACT: (and you probably already know this but many do not): "fsync = off" is postgresql-ese for "please destroy all my data". Don't do it. Ever. The 9.0 docs are finally improving the language here to indicate that you must not set fsync off if you value your job.

Setting "synchronous_commit = off" nets you 99.9% of the performance improvement without the possibility of corrupting your entire database.


You might enjoy my fsync related photo:

And the presentation it came from:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/31669670/PostgreSQL-and-NoSQL


Very cool presentation.


why don't you publish the results of your benchmark?


I've been trying to find time to do a more in-depth test with multiple servers and include the scale out part of each system. I plan too soon.


Where was the dba-running-with-scissors photo taken? Also, could we get the performance charts in your slides without the 3d-perspective? It's hard to tell relative performance from the angle.


Outside our office in New Hope, PA. I'll do better graphs when I release the higher concurrency stats.


Interested. I'm in Amsterdam.
