FWIW, I've found Coinbase to be pretty decent and reliable. And definitely the open source app is a quite surprising (in best terms!) decision. I haven't seen many (good) open source Android apps out there built on the latest design specs a

Sadly IceFloor doesn't seem to have an option to quickly filter out in a per-program basis. And Little Snitch, well…maybe a bit overpriced if it's just to block Spotify (hell, they should be the ones providing a setting for that).

In the question round-up, someone asked how the switch to a "direct connection" will fare (in comparison with the current system under BB7, I understand). No clear answer there. It's not like it's important for them, right?

My reason to be unexcited is that it is now just "another phone". The BIS (blackberry internet service) might've sucked in some ways but it meant tight security, and more importantly, roaming. If they want to keep the big paying customers t

I believe that it is possible to load apps via USB from a computer just enabling the "debug" features in the PB's settings. It's been a long time since I last used my PlayBook, though.

ITA Matrix is pretty good too. http://matrix.itasoftware.com/ Plus, if you know your way around fare codes ( http://www.farecompare.com/products/fare-display/index.html ) you can find dates with Matrix where these "cheap, special" fares a

There is already an impressive amount of work put towards the software monitoring the whole grid, as well as its frequency. I don't think engineering is the problem. It's not just "turn those and those supplies on when the show ends" but ac

I'm using the CM9 release found at MoDaCo, and still getting used to it while doing small tweaks. It took me less than an hour since I opened the box to wipe the original system (at least Huawei is way better at hardware than they're at sof

BlackBerry phones do use BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) as opposed to standard TCP/IP via an APN. This means that a secure link is made between your phone and RIM's servers (or directly to a company's servers — that why many enterprises

Unlike most people commenting here, I got a sub-200$ Android (Huawei G300). I got it a few days ago through Amazon just to try something new, and it's way better than I expected it to be. I first had an iPhone when it came out, then moved t

I'm three miles away and I easily get 3 Mbps. Check your line (mostly attenuation and SNR). I've got 53dB attenuation and a SNR (ratio) of 10dB. Plus, uptime is pretty good (over 13 days now).

NoSQL is targeted at extreme performance. So, yes, it sounds like a reasonable assumption.

But the premium for having it administered (and backed up, and having support, and the extra stack tools) is a bit too pricy, isn't it?

Redis does help with the big database crashing, read the post.

Well, it's intended to work with followers/ids and other calls. Twitter might go against you, but that would be disregarding your calls… If they pull the plug it will be because of features, not because of how you use the API :(

They don't need to know you replicate! ;) By the way, which fields (nickname, avatar, follower count, following count…?) are you storing for follower representation?

by adrinavarro 14y ago
With the right infrastructure and tech, the "mirror" DB shouldn't crash. And also keep in mind how many people follow a lot of celebrities… common point!

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Redis yet. I'd build it with two stages. First, a cache that holds user information (sort of replicating profiles), that is, follower count and etc. This would be shared among all users, and can go into a

And what about prior art? For example, you actually release a digital audio player but don't pay for the patent because you cannot afford it — you cannot be sued and somebody else can't claim a patent over it. Supposedly. http://en.wikiped

Apple what? Apple didn't really use OSM. The current OSM is pretty good, by the way. It's just a pity some data is still wrong (for example, many postcodes in Madrid, ES).

Yet, nobody has really gone the long way to bridge the gap between the quick and 'hipster' photo retouching like Instagram does, and real cameras (point and shoot, DSLR). I'm pretty sure that there's a niche market there. I have a hard time

Hm. I really don't know the specifics of this move or its market, but: I believe there are two ways for amazon of getting a benefit out of this, in some way. The first one is setting a reasonable interest rate (13% in this case) and make a
