A good friend of mine started programming in the 1980s and was a heavy user of IDMS at the beginning of their career. As relational systems got more popular (read: Oracle showed up) network databases seemed to end up forgotten.

These days, there's a renewed focus on the limitations of relational database systems - or rather, there's a focus on their limitations for web-based applications. NoSQL is all the new hotness, and things like Neo4J are gaining traction.

Do you think we are moving towards a world where we'll use both relations and graphs? Relations in one system, graphs in another?

For web folks, RFC 2616 could/should be considered required reading. I'm wondering which RFCs gave you the most "a-ha" moments and why?

And, which RFCs do you think everyone should read and why?

Hi HN, I have a friend who is starting to blog and who blogs from many different blogging engines. Keeping track of passwords/email/accounts/etc. is turning into the usual headache.

My question: do any of you know of a good "aggregator" that they could log into? I.e. log into one place and see all the different blogs that they work on across twitter/wordpress/blogspot and so on.

Anybody? YC idea? :)
