Good catch! I wonder why? Any idea how to get around this?

Based on the description I think we can safely assume the company name starts with a letter 'M'. ;)

I have found WYSIWYM concept (What You See Is What You Mean) and WymEditor[1] in particular a very useful solution, at least for website editing. Previously I have used Xinha, FSCKEditor and similar, but there was always some problem with t

Rate limiting is not the only thing they could have done. They could also notify users of failed attempts and ask them to confirm it was their attempt (once they were logged in of course) - the offending IPs could then be blacklisted. Of co

That's an excellent point! :) I was so used to thinking of this system as an ORM that I never checked if the term still applies. So... I guess it is OnoRM now. ;)

The problem is that ONLY obscurity shields users from exploits - and it's not much of a shield (it never is). So yes, it is "more" security. And no, it doesn't help much. Arguably it makes matters worse because the c

It's actually both. Term "data abstraction layer" describes its function while term "ORM" describes how it is done. Unless I am misunderstanding these terms? But we are going a bit off-topic here. :)

Sorry, poor choice of words... I have build an ORM on application level above MongoDB. This level lets me specify data model in a simple JSON and the system then automatically performs all (high-level) data input validations, displays a pro

MongoDB slow? Could you post a benchmark to support this claim?

Come on, give MongoDB a break. I use MongoDB and I am proud of it. And I have used numerous SQL DBs (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MSSQL, SQlite) and HBase from noSQL camp, so I do have something to compare to. Yes, it was overhyped (and is un

No. Well, not technically... There is a UX bug in Linux. Not the only one at that, but they don't count much in Linux-land.

Interesting study! The question is of course how applicable the results are... I realize Facebook and Twitter are not around long enough to perform a similar study on their data, but I wonder if it would be possible to test just some of the

Sure - and you can test types in your unit tests using the OP's technique. :)

Seriously, have you seen what they do in extreme sports? I think a bit of Red Bull won't kill those guys, but lack of concentration might. :) I agree with you though.

Great article but terrible (misleading) title. :) Unfortunately, the info is mostly helpful in hindsight. One must have had an experience with a so-called "UX expert" to really appreciate this article, but I'm not sure it wou

Agree with you 100%. One could use this system for asserts though: assert(type.isObject({}))); assert(type.isNumber(NaN)); // fails assert(type.isElement(document.createElement('div'))); assert(type.isR

What is that all about? The site makes a claim of making a search through 150mio records a big deal. Ok, it is not trivial, but any decent DB with proper indexes would have no trouble doing that. Am I missing something? Also, they want me t

Nice! But I didn't get that information by looking at your site (as apparently parent didn't either), so you might want to look into that. And while you are at it, where do I find more information about the process, about the comp

I would argue that it is not prediction that is failing with economic systems; it is the lack of interest to change anything (from those who could) that triggers the consequences. After all, rich didn't get any poorer with the last cri

I have always wondered why so many people like dynamically types languages... I mean, if I have a variable I ALWAYS know what kind of data I expect in it. If I try to use different kinds of data in the same variable then something is clearl
