   I definitely would have used Lua in this situation. The Lua runtime is tiny and lightweight. You can write pretty nice config files in Lua which look pretty similar to Zed's too. http://windrealm.com/tutorials/reading-a-lua-configuration-f

   So you want bookmark sync integrated into the browser, but you don't want the bookmarks stored anywhere where google can get at them. How could google put your bookmarks somewhere that they don't have access to?

   Why don't you write your own extension to sync your bookmark to AWS? (encrypted of course)

    I wanted to learn the NATO phonetic alphabet to help me spell words during support calls. I whipped up this quick app to help me learn. I figured if anyone would find it useful, the folks at HN would.

    I like this. I live in Iowa City and have been thinking for a while now that Iowa City is sorely lacking a good place for entertainment info. Goiowacity is widely used even though it's terrible. If you're looking to collaborate on this or o

    Would it be possible to reuse an existing HTTP caching solution like squid or nginx for the caching since s3 exposes a REST api?

    It seems like a giant can of worms to introduce mod_php. Do you allow sessions? Replication? How do you handle caching? These are non-trivial problems at CDN-level loads. Offering 100% availability is crazy difficult once you add dynamic co

    One of the most successful projects I worked on used static HTML generation. It was a company-wide system status site, so it needed to be up no mater what, no matter what type of issues we were experiencing. Using this approach we didn't ha

    It is almost certainly a bug. Fact: mAutoCommit has a setter bean property. mAutoCommit looks like it can be toggled to true/false to enable automatic updating of some configuration inside the setValue(Object) method. I'm 99.9999 percent su

    It's nothing to do with concurrency - the event bus pattern will alleviate much of the pain around event-driven programming (the FSM's you were referring to) and decouple the event handling machines. In my experience, moving to an event bus
