Huh? No, you don't need a plugin to set cookies. They will just email you a link to a page that presumably has a timeout and will set your session cookie so that you get logged in.

Oh, I thought the original article was saying that MongoDB itself would not send an error down if it was "full".
123.
by agscala 14y ago
This has nothing to do with the client library, so it would not matter which language you use to interface with MongoDB.

This is all anecdotal, but frankly I have noticed a serious decrease in Facebook's quality since their IPO. More often I have ads thrown (not so coincidentally) at the top of my feed, and I feel like Facebook has practically started beggin

Looking at github's top languages, it sits at #11. I thought it was higher than that, but it's still nothing to sneeze at. Maybe saying it's widely accepted isn't entirely appropriate, but it certainly is gaining a lot of traction.

I'm not the hugest fan of coffeescript, but I don't know if you can consider it to be an 'exotic' language at this point. It's quite widely accepted.

I thought that the whole point of converting these latency numbers was to convert them into something meaningful. Distance traveled by the speed of light is just as abstract as the original number itself.

This article makes Quora sound almost like Digg back in the day, with a select few users who work together to ensure they control most of the content on the site.

Not only is the best time to write tests an unsolved problem, but also the method in which you write tests. I think TDD is a joke, but unit tests are still valuable.

I really like the last point you made there. I wonder what Google has planned to fight for the top? Google's Nexus line is their first step into the battle. They're obviously trying to get involved in the media game but they know they're l

Ditto. This is the kind of claim that, if explained appropriately, may convince me (and others) to buy one despite the price point.

Looks cool, but the ultimate tactic for landing page conversion is actually having content . Why bother with a empty landing page like this? Would it really be so bad to wait a little until this company actually has something to show for i

I couldn't find any nested comments, but I think it would be good to not flatten them so that you can actually see the conversation directly, like we're doing now
135.
by agscala 14y ago
If you had nested comments, then maybe you can make the claim of being similar to Google Wave. The design is great though, and the formatting on posts is excellent

When I'm browsing products on Amazon, I've found the reviews there to be very helpful and they've saved me from buying a lot of terrible products. And on the flipside, I've never bought something because of good reviews that all turned out

I'm glad I wasn't the only one completely confused. I have no idea what he was trying to say, I can't imagine what his book is like.

I don't learn the syntax or function names in languages or libraries or frameworks, I read about what that it's particularly good (or bad) at and tuck that away in the back of my brain. When I have a problem and I get to pick what I want to

I'm always blown away when I hear about the sheer volume of incoming email that some people have to deal with. I may get 10 a day, but apparently getting hundreds isn't all that uncommon. It's unreal that a product like this even exists. T

It seems like a lot of people are building a product just because it's cool to build a product and they somehow forget to actually provide value. Then they're surprised when it fails. I don't get it.

Right, but does opening more than one window for a single application count? Two chrome windows for instance.

I love this project. It's everything that I'll never remember on my own and more.

These slides are so sparse, it's really difficult to catch even the main point.

I think the silly part is why would you run 12 miles, get bored, and then WALK home? Shouldn't you just run home?

Agreed. Also it seems like it's finally coming full circle around back to styli again. It seems like they're now being advertised as a new feature, which I think is kind of funny. Granted, they aren't using resistive screens anymore, so it

I wish this had a timer on it. I don't know which metric it would result in, but it would be fun to race against other people nonetheless
