Well, aggregation in MongoDB allows you to write sql like queries, and before 2.6 if aggregated result was > 16mb it was throwing an error, but now it gives you a cursor. Now you can fetch the results and send to another collection. For an example aggregation query in mongo have a look here: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/aggregation-zip-code...

MongoDB Definitive Guide 2nd ed is pretty good

With this release aggregation framework got super powerful. Now it returns a cursor. Now we can get the aggregation results and iterate over them. No more 16mb result limitation as well...

days do not have an upper bound; therefore you see 8bits on the most left position. Hours can be at most 24, so 7th bit is not present, minutes&seconds can be at most 60 so 8th bit is not present etc...

My post was just an alternative to the main thread.
I do believe in hard work, and being consistent but Elon Musk's case is definitely extreme.

"If other people are putting in 40 hour work weeks and you’re putting in 100 hour work weeks, then even if you’re doing the same thing you know that… you will achieve in 4 months what it takes them a year to achieve."

Have you read "Outliers" from Malcolm Gladwell? There he was mentioning that most of the successful hockey players have a pattern in their birthdays and I found it quite similar:
"in any elite group of hockey players the very best of the best 40 percent of the players will have been born between January and March,30 percent between April and June, 20 percent between July and September, and 10 percent between October and December."
"The explanation for this is quite simple. It has nothing to do with astrology, nor is there anything magical about the first three months of the year. It's simply that in Canada the eligibility cut off for age class hockey is January 1. A boy who turns ten on January2, then, could be playing along side someone who doesn't turn ten until the end of the year and at that age, in preadolescence, a twelve month gap in age represents anenormous difference in physical maturity."
