Tokyo is a big place. Living in Ebisu is worlds apart from living in Itabashi for example, but you'll need a bank balance to match.

Yes please! I've been trying to crack this particular nut for nigh on half a decade and still haven't made much headway, so it would be great to read about how you managed it.

Totally. Especially since the endgame in any web-facing EC2 architecture is to have stateless nodes behind a load balancer that you can scale up and down as required. Ideally you'd automatically recreate AMI snapshots whenever your code cha

If I'm not mistaken, Heroku runs on EC2, so you're already full-hog on AWS.

Sympathize entirely with your situation, been there before many times. However putting up with this sort of environment for more than a few weeks in the current market for dev work is completely incomprehensible to me. Everyone is hiring, a

Fantastic work guys, this looks amazing!

Agree with this on multiple levels, though in practice I find a lot of codebases where views directly call events on passed-in model objects. In simple applications I find the extra level of indirection isn't worth it. I put together some s

As a ruby developer I may not be that well qualified to ask about this but can you give me an example where you've had this difficulty? It would be good to know in case there's some low-hanging fruit in documentation that would make new rub

I'd agree. One of my big laments as a ruby developer is that the minute you step outside web development, pythons libraries kick the crap out of rubys, in comprehensiveness and maturity. See nltk and scipy.

Has anyone considered that this may be PR for the upcoming Prometheus? They have a TED talk on youtube, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Wow. Second the comments about feeling about ten years old again. I hope beyond all hope that this is actually happening in my lifetime. Questions for those in the know: 1. Is there any legal precedent on whether or not they're even allowed

A thousand times yes. It's about as user-friendly a git resource you're going to get. I would recommend having progit open when reading the man pages. Git get's a lot of stick for having impenetrable documentation, but once you have have th

It's clear that you don't agree with the principles behind gits design. Why not use hg instead? It's a perfectly viable alternative and provides many of the benefits.

+1, If you just take 2 hours and read the entirety of progit.org (including the section on internals) all of these workflows on top of git start to look unnecessarily confusing.

While I'm perfectly happy with the stock git porcelein commands (and generally don't like any attempts at simplifying them, including gui tools) other developers having a different workflow isn't the reason. I think having shortcuts and wra

Not necessarily. A possible solution for that is to render the same thing for everyone and then bring in the user specific stuff after page load via ajax. Fairly common practice.

As I understand it, google is putting a lot of resources into semantic search atm which may go some way towards fixing the problems you're describing.

+1 to this. I accept that the pg-anointed wisdom is that single-founders are less likely to be successful, but I wouldn't take advice like that as dogma. Assuming it's true 'because Paul said so' is a little weak.
