This was really well done. I'd just like to point out a few things, as someone who's watched Inception way too many times: 1) It is never said that 3 levels is the maximum depth of a dream until Limbo occurs. My interpretation has always be

Actually, the "regular consumer" has no idea that Firefox even had version numbers to begin with. Iterating quickly with nearly automatic updates was a huge step in the right direction.

By "link directly" we mean that a subreddit devoted solely to NSFW content appears as a default in a list of ones to browse from the moment the app is launched. You've always been free to add specific NSFW subreddits that you know about aft

For any curious devs: the distinction between this and the reason why web browsers (like Chrome, Dolphin, or Firefox) aren't banned, according to Google at least, is direct linking. An app is allowed to "browse" to NSFW material, but cannot

It took me five years (and counting) to get Vim to a place where I'm happy with how it looks and functions. ST2 gives me that out-of-the-box, and it's improving constantly.

Vim for whenever I'm running something headless or I'm ssh'ed into a server somewhere. Eclipse for any project that's an excessive amount of Java, which at this point is only Android apps. XCode for any project that's an excessive amount of

Just FYI, your site is completely unusable for anyone working at a company blocking Dropbox.

> It also means that when you change a function signature, the compiler can't tell you all the call sites you need to fix. You have to find them through testing. This is a large barrier to aggressive refactoring. This is a problem inher

I mistyped my original response. 1 million daily pageviews is still 10/second. The rest of my post remains the same, so 30 million monthly pageviews can easily be handled with 10 or so servers.

by Pewpewarrows 15y ago
Uh, what? 1m pageviews a month is about equivalent to 10/second. A single app server can handle that easily. Add on a redundant app server, two database servers, and some static/queue/mail ones, and you're looking at 10 servers _tops_ for t

I don't understand the comments from people on the blog wanting them to rush this feature and get it in ASAP. Like they mentioned, you still have Basecamp Classic. There's nothing forcing you to move to the new Basecamp before they take the

This looks like a great redesign overall. I'm still not entirely sold on how sheets are any better than breadcrumbs, other than being a different UX implementation of the same concept. But I'll adopt a wait-and-see attitude. Playing around

Sorry to break it to you , but scaling isn't hard anymore. The tools we have at our disposal today makes it trivial compared to companies attempting to do the same thing 5-6 years ago. As soon as you figure out the scaling from 1 -> 2

Just to play devil's advocate here: for almost everyone in the non-techie general population that I've seen use the Internet, Google's search bar IS the address bar. They want to get to Facebook? They type "facebook" into Google and click t

Google definitely holds some of the blame here, and I'm glad to see that they've been completely transparent and apologetic with every instance of Contractor shadiness that's cropped up in the past couple of weeks. But don't try to drop fac

Hah, I could always use more testers. When the project is good enough for a somewhat-stable alpha I'll let you know, thanks!

Way too many actually. I basically scraped every single Fabric/Chef/Django-related boilerplate and skeleton project on GitHub to see what other devs were doing, and learn from their mistakes and successes. I follow Disqus' dev blogs thoroug

The link at the bottom to the core developer site shows you how to implement most, if not all, of what they discuss here. Though it would be nice if they had links interspersed throughout the design text to their tutorials and API guides ab

While this plugin doesn't have Scala by default, it does include a Java linter/checker. So you could theoretically fork and expand it to do Scala as well. https://github.com/Kronuz/SublimeLinter
