When dealing with large amounts of data, with mysql you need to do alot of
tweaking to get it just right (database engines, etc etc...), and postgres
works great out of the box.
Negated logic in if statements when not necessary is against "politically
correct" software engineering standards. I used to use negated logic alot
when not needed before college, but when I made an B on my first few
projects because my if statements could be re-written, I soon learned the
wisdom of only using negation when necessary to the logic. This is one of
those cases where using if not DEV would get 10 points taken off. Perhaps I
just had an anal proffessor :)
