the problem with unanswered view is that we haven't denormalized the answer scores, which makes the query take literally 2-3x longer.

database denormalization is awkward, but soul-crushing full second queries are brutal. Indexes can't save you. I blame Boyce-Codd.

lambda, the forbidden dance! Oh wait, that's the lambada.

consider how *crazy* hard it is to write code that takes 200ms, vs. constructing a SQL query that takes 200ms, which is trivially easy.

note that I'm really anal about db performance. I consider a query that takes 50ms "slow" and one that takes 200ms "friggin' ridiculous"

none of this language crap matters when the database is such a gaping performance blackhole. It's a sick, sick, joke.

queries are expensive. Let's go shopping!
