I'd donate to support it (I already donate periodically to wikipedia and I'd happily donate more).

I see where you're coming from but when I put myself in that statement it just doesn't work. My now self, with nearer to 10 years experience would tear my 5 year experienced self to pieces on all things technical. I'm doing things now with

I don't think it's easy to do. You can change a commit message, but even that's not easy (you basically need admin access to the repo files). If you want to edit the contents of the repo I think you need to read > filter > rewrite t

Actually, while we're on the topic(ish), how does one do it back the other way? Ie, stream from audio input to a file (I was looking into it earlier today). Best I could find, you had to install some wrapper drivers or something.

I became a father 2 weeks ago and that's the thing that's struck me most. We're only 2 weeks into it and we are giving everything we have night and day to look after our daughter. I don't recall ever hearing my parents using it against me o

And worse again, I just discovered that there's no way to delete a Gravatar account. Even if you unlink your email address from the account it still keeps it linked behind the scenes (you can sign in with your "deleted" address).

Personally I did it by joining the Clipper Race - http://www.clipperroundtheworld.com/ . The Challenge went under the year I decided to do it unfortunately and Clipper is the next closest thing. Toyed with the idea of trying to get on a b

Your hard work is definitely much appreciated. I switched to Vim a week ago and Coming Home to Vim has been like a bible.

My Go teacher once told me that the truely great players will hold a game in near perfect balance throughout. Concerningy, are the computers really at 4 dan now? I ain't never going to beat the machines.

I can definitely sympathise. MacBook and backup drives containing all my photos and music taken from a bookshelf. I foolishly thought it would never happen. Needless to say I now have offsite backups but it's a horrid lesson to learn. DONT

It's actually not as bad as that anymore. Adobe CF has traditionally been pretty poor (though it's better these days) but there are great alternatives now (Railo is a top notch open source alternative). I wouldn't ever expect to convince an

Yup, just as I say, I'm sure there are solutions to these things if you know the answers. I did look long and hard at the time though. We were using a version of Django where the auth/user stuff had just changed and there were no good examp

I'm not an expert on it but we used it for half a dozen projects and I have to say I found it to be all of those things. It's a typical scenario really. On the surface it gives you a great framework for creating a website that works in a ce

In this case you're generally better off querying once to get the parent data, collecting all the child keys from it and queuing a second time to collect ALL the children. The technique you've described is the reason early ORMs had a bad re

Sounds an awful lot like the teachings of Jef Raskin. I read The Humane Interface years ago and I seem to remember him talking about modeless interfaces. Definitely worth a read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Humane_Interface

Having built the system I can probably answer some of those questions. The cloudfront solution won't work because you need to push from s3 and as we found out during the previous sale that can take up to 20 minutes. That's no fun for anyone

I've used both fairly extensively now and there are definitely pros and cons to each. I haven't done any solid benchmarking, but RS feels faster. It's also much easier/faster to get up and running whereas AWS has a bit of a barrier to entry

But it says "Replication is done in parallel with executing transactions instead of serially after commits, so it's supposed to offer better performance as well as higher consistency and availability."....

Or even more of a bottleneck if you're waiting for several writes to finish on different machines? As you say there aren't actually any details on there - might be interesting once there's another article with a bit more meat on it.

Really? I just tried in google and got a whole lot of maps of South (and North) America, many dated from the year 1836....

Weird, no? Could be the timestamp on the server wasn't correct when the content was uploaded or something, but what are the chances of that?

But that's the bit I find strange. The datestamps in the images would suggest that the conversation took place recently (march). The wordpress splitting suggests this is not the case.

Any idea why most of the images are in the uploads/2011/01 folder and some are in the uploads/2011/03 folder? Probably nothing of course...

There's a lot of ignorance going on in the articles out there. I know nothing of the internals of the project but it was commissioned to replace a system that has frequent outages (including a major one last week). Teething issues, while no

Putting aside the obvious geekiness (which, of course, we all love) I think this is a stunning example of how the whole family can get involved in creating something absolutely wonderful. Truly an inspiration.

While I agree with the approach described, in practice things can be a little different. We decided to start using python in our agency a couple of years ago. We really love it but since that time we've really struggled to hire good people.
