Don't bet too heavily on this...HitTail is having a rough time with Google's (very slow but incremental) roll-out of removing the search phrase from the inbound referrer headers...

You should write and if you do I want to know where you put your writing.

This is a great comment and I can echo much of its sentiment. Another commenter wrote something very similar to mine. There are three things that I consider to have had the largest impact on my life: 1. Learning to Learn - sounds obvious an

My experience was similar. When I started Crossfit I was following my small portion eating habits and didn't really focus on getting enough protein, fat, or carbs (my thinking at the time was carbs and fat were bad, I had no distinction abo

It is. Add 2 hours of oly/power lifting and metabolic conditioning in 5 days a week and it's like working a second job :)

If that's how you're training, then it isn't necessarily the volume/intensity but your diet that's holding you back. I train as an advanced Crossfit athlete 5 days a week and it's very intense exercise! Diet is more important than most pe

There is definitely a pop-culture around programming - but specifically around web application programming; the culture of "web developers" often reminds me a lot of high school social dynamics. What I've found is that the older and more ex

Pyramid's ACL + Traversal is unmatched. I love Traversal (makes building RESTful API's super easy).

by Ixiaus 14y ago
This is false. Pyramid was not known as "repoze" which is a project to port interesting/good pieces of code from Zope to be standalone libraries of code. Pyramid used to be known as repoze.bfg or just bfg. It made liberal use of modern "l

Pyramid is amazing - I use it in production for my startup and it's solid, flexible, and very modern (I love Traversal over route mapping).

I never said you weren't helpful! I think you're being pedantic - asking for sources on everything! If you ask for a scientific opinion on why something is bad or not for you; you can come up with sources for both sides! I'm telling you str

I'm glad you're so skeptical but honestly no, I do not have citations, nor do I have the time to find the original source s that provided that information to me many years ago.

Most people think bread is a carb, which there are many carbs coming from it - you also get gluten in that mix. You're right that it is a protein [gluten] and not a carb but this is a classic example of an unhelpful HN comment thread where

What you've written here is pretty much what I meant to write in my comment. What is the name of your book by chance?

by Ixiaus 14y ago
There is a major misconception that all carbs are bad. Specifically bad sources: refined sugar, high-fructose corn syrup (much worse than sugar), grains (wheat - gluten, is the worst, worse than sugar; rice, etc...), and legumes (particular

This. Far too many people believe fat is bad and don't understand that simple carbs and fat are the most easily converted to energy for the brain .

It also sounds like you're addicted to caffeine. You're probably addicted to Gluten as well. The paleo/primal food lifestyle would probably interest you greatly. (notably, sugar is my most major vice - I kicked gluten, caffeine, alcohol, an

It took 3-4 years of learning Erlang and Scheme first before I could fully grok Haskell concepts. Monads aren't as bad as you think they are, read this if you haven't: http://ertes.de/articles/monads.html Haskell's strengths: it's succinc

Didn't see this till late, good response. I agree with your point on hiring a jack-of-all-trades; only problem is that they are really hard to find!

This is precisely what I've discovered too - however, it has begun to morph over time; I now think it's less shaped by how the "leader" does things for people and how the people joining the effort do things for the company .

Interesting. I can vouch for the speed of leveldb on a five node cluster - I'm using it in our startup on 5 dedicated machines with around 12GB of RAM, running on FreeBSD. Riak version is 1.1.4; Riak 1.2 is supposed to have a lot of level

LevelDB is known to have heavily degrading performance when you ask for a key that doesn't exist.

Your test isn't valid if it was all on one box - the disk I/O is going to be really nasty with that. Your test would be better on three different machines.

If you want just a single node, use Couch or Mongo - Riak wasn't built to work reliably OR quickly on a single node; Riak gets all of its fault-tolerance, low-latency, and great performance from > 3 node clusters (preferably > 5). W
