Author is not talking about "design" - he is talking about "UX design". Totally different beast. Former is, well, design, while the latter is how user experiences your product or service.

What you describe is actually a pretty good test if someone should be allowed to strike a deal - "can they describe it unassisted"?

And of course there was Google Video (before they bought Youtube).

In the end it is about knowledge sharing. You either tell someone that he might be headed in the wrong direction (he doesn't need to listen to you though) or you don't. If you tell him, he has more information on which he can base

Wait, you shouldn't tell him this, he should have learned that all by himself! I don't agree with the author's view at all. If anything, it angers me when I trust a mentor to guide me and he lets me waste a week before I figu

Of course, there is no hover on mobile, so you are probably optimizing traffic where it is not so critical.

Looks awesome - but please tell me you will have download-and-install option? Hosting solution is not acceptable to us and this could differentiate you from hundreds of others in this area.

When you say "out of date", you probably mean feature wise, not security and stability wise? For me that is an acceptable tradeoff for most of the packages. Most of the stuff doesn't evolve at such pace that I should have the

Genuinly curious: I thought you can't represent ellipses with bezier curves, at least accurately... What did you do?

Sure, but the feeling is different...

I think OP is missing the point. Browsers of today are taking over the space which Java tried to capture (remember "write once run everywhere" slogan?) but failed. They provide (mostly) unified development platform. But the catch

Great, thanks! If I understand correctly, a post with "remote work currently not possible" statement will be tagged as remote? (not that I have a better idea, just wondering how it works :) EDIT: postings are a bit difficult to re

How do you extract the tags, is it manually or automatic somehow? EDIT: Nicely done otherwise, thanks!

I don't know enough about your situation, but you should know that A) managers are just people and make errors in judgements and B) sometimes managers exaggerate stuff like that to get more from employees (12h days for instance). For A

It is a nice challenge how to rewrite such a system. One way would be to build a parallel system, identify all inputs and duplicate them to the parallel solution and then compare the outputs; in case of discrepancies fix the erroneous syste

The fact that this is not shows that not many people (here) agree. :) I personally have no opinion on DB schema because I never looked that deep, but last time I had to deal with WP its codebase was just horrible. And don't get me star

Absolutely agree with the sentiment. A few times I had to help out friends customize something I was horrified at the overall level of code quality. It looks as if a B-level programmer started it and C-level programmers helped... And I thin

Thanks for the info on HBase stability. I probably won't use it again (once burnt...), but if they really managed to pull their act together - good for them!

Curious: how difficult is it to replicate aphyr's tests? Can we beleive independent entities posting jepsen reports on some random DB?

by annnnd 11y ago
Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Seriously, no! Use mongoDB, PostgreSQL, even flat files if you must, but HBase? We used it in production about 3-4 years ago and it was a nightmare from both usage and especially maintenance point. Fortunately we had

Genuinly curious: did you try implementing realtime stream processing solution, using Storm or similar?

This. There is also a saying on a similar note: "It's OK to disappoint, it's not OK to surprise."
