I was reminded of this: http://hybratech.com/products/orb It is a different concept, but similar enough. After a couple of years still not available.

The best part is that the plagiarized site is a nominee for a css design prize? Infinum is one of the top developers here in Croatia. Nice to see them responding well to this.

This is much more powerful than forever. It is a higher level tool. Forever is just here to make your script start again after a crash. This looks like a complete production deployment tool. And it seems great. One of the problems newcomers

But, doesn't maintaining both implementation complexity and product usage complexity low require either more development time or better developers?

There are 3 different concepts in play here: - rsync algorithm - rsync protocol - rsync program The algorithm is fairly well described here: http://rsync.samba.org/tech_report/ The protocol documentation is non existant (AFAIK), and basic

Can anybody confirm if the 20% in google still stands? And, if it does, is it really 20% of the regular work hours? In my experience, 20% usually comes to something like: "Work on the important project 100% of the work week. After that, wor

Maybe that was my point. I am not sure. You see, a new technology was considered and eventually chosen because it was a different kind of project. And so it happened that Node was a perfect fit for the job and a good opportunity to try it o

We were used to building stuff in static, strongly typed languages. We had powerful IDE support, stable libraries, old and proven frameworks. There was always the right tool, the right library, the right idiom, the right way. There was conf

One thing to note is that there is no standard library. Most of your code will be dealing with modules. The most important thing is to get those dependencies right. Node comes with node package manager (npm), which is a great tool for the j

This is great. I was just searching old HN stories trying to find the very first story on node.js. I thought it would be fun to read all the comments again and see the reactions. Still haven't found the story on node.js, but this is in the

In the paper No Silver Bullet [1], Brooks makes a distinction between accidental complexity and essential complexity. He claims that most complexity remaining in contemporary systems is essential. Moseley and Marks disagree with his premise

Are there any good and relevant articles on dropbox architecture or implementation? Are they open about it, or is it more or less a secret?

by Ygor 15y ago
Do you know of any other implementations of the rsync algorithm other than the actual rsync program? And where are they used? Do you know how and where dropbox uses rsync? There have been some tries to port the rsync program to other langua

Has anybody looked through the code of the rsync program itself? Looks pretty intimidating. Would be nice to see a comment from somebody better versed in this style of programming. http://ftp.samba.org/pub/rsync/

For those who haven't read it yet, this paper has a lot to say about the cause of programming complexity, Out of The Tarpit: http://web.mac.com/ben_moseley/frp/paper-v1_01.pdf They say that the only essential complexity is the one inheren

The success of WhoAPI and the like is really helping the situation improve. There are a lot of great developers and motivated people here, a huge potential. Congrats to WhoAPI.

I don't get it. Why is Google so careful with opening more stores like this? It seems pretty clear that such stores are extremely good at selling products to your average customer. Why not open dozens, even hundreds of them, all over the wo

Yep, using the word simple to describe those languages is not really appropriate. What I was getting at would be more in the lines of "confined to a single paradigm and style". And again, not saying either of the two mentioned are. It is mo

Which of the two approaches would you consider better for the JVM and/or .NET as a platform: 1. Make the most popular languages, c# and Java, more complex by adding more features such as functional and dynamic support. 2. Make the "core" la
