I'm still waiting to be able to put my ELB in a security group itself so I can load balance my internal EC2 applications without needing to make my load balancer publicly available.

From what I've heard, other engineering disciplines (civil, industrial, etc) curriculum is based on actual real world work experience and jobs. They prepare you to work as an engineer. CS, on the other hand, tends to prepare you very poor

I think the moral of the story with this post is, "buy nice things for stuff that matters." I don't think $100 pens are important to most people who post here, but $2,000 mac laptops or cinema displays are. I spent $100 on a Timbuk2 bag b

You could do that, including figuring out your NAT/Firewall, how to proxy through apache to your app and have to worry about security. Or, you could just do this: show 3100 I dunno, I'm a busy dude and my time isn't free. So I'd ra

I've only ever used SCSS, mostly cause it was the "official" version when I first used it. I also think that SASS files look weird to me...for whatever that's worth. SCSS eing a superset of CSS is huge too, IMO, as one of the bigger push-

jQuery is popular because you don't need any programming experience to be productive. I was introduced to jQuery by our in-house web designer like 3 years ago because he used it and really liked it. He spoke HTML, the DOM and CSS and

I'm a self taught programmer and have been doing a lot of interviews with developers, both self taught and schooled lately. In general, self taught programmers seem to fall in to two categories. 1. They learned one language (PHP or C#), ju

I'll take that one step further and say that Compass makes CSS intelligible, reusable and efficient to write. The Compass people have taken the time to understand what the right cross-browser techniques/best practices exist for lots of com

This may be true, but there are a bunch of useful things IE9 doesn't support that even Firefox 3.6 does: 1. Text shadow 2. Offline applications 3. Multiple column layout 4. Border images 5. Web workers, File API, Geolocation A lot of thes

Nice to see well thought out, coherent computer science-based discussions on NoSQL presented in a well produced, informative and educational format. Great job!

When the change is made, changing the results of the HTTP GET to some javascipt comments explaining what happened and pointing them to some CDNs which offer the same service would be a good idea.

Understanding that a "concise, fast, scalable and maintainable" code is not always superior to "complex, slow, unscalable and unmaintainable" code is a big learning for me over the years. There are tons of "web developers" out there who kn

We have a great sysadmin at work, and I've learned 3 very important lessons: Have redundant everything. Backup everything. Provide tools to talk to production systems, databases, but make them read only and make it hard to mess with product

Am I missing something? If you have a server open to the internet, like a database server, it means it's open to brute force attacks. And who wants that?

Giving the "90% answer" in an interview just shows familiarity with technology platforms/software. Need a web app? Rails. Want a database? MySQL. Need queuing software? AMQP. Version control? Git. And giving these answers in an interview

Well part of the reason this is so exploitable is because with Wifi, packets are broadcast through the air for anyone to pick up. With modern switched networks, packets only get routed to the IP they're intended for.

Naming, oh god yes, the naming. Nothing is consistent with naming functions at all. My favorite example of this is the aptly named "parse_str" function: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php

This is very true. Apple products are luxury products which, IMO, are worth the money. UX, design and the "it just works" factor are worth the premium. But for most people, cost/availability is the gating factor so Android phones are totall

This is more a testament to HTTP caching and varnish than PHP, 4 servers or Mediawiki. If you can cache the entire page and serve it out of cache for most of your requests, you're in a very position.

This is a common pitfall when people start using Memcache. Memcache puts less load on the DB, which means you can keep the same DB hardware and scale up your pageviews...until Memcache craps out and all that load is now back on the DB agai

I think it's a fools errand to try to make one browser for every single type of web browsing user on the planet. I use the browser a lot differently - web development, checking HTTP headers, etc - than my girlfriend does - browsing faceboo

I'm pretty sure it's limited to H.264 and MP4, at least that's what Apple is saying on the tech specs page under "video formats." http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html I still don't like the idea of having iTunes on a PC be necessary fo
