I don't think that this search has any smarts behind it -- it just matches on strings. So .net would include both the framework and the tld listed in the posting. For example, check out what happens if you replace .net with .org: ht

Great stuff. Where do you get the data? I'm working on a geolocation-centric visualization in webgl that would be a good fit for this kind of realtime(ish) data.

Is the price of the g2.2xlarge instance included? I couldn't find that anywhere... that would be another .767 / hour. They REALLY need a killer app here to demonstrate the use case where this is worth the price. You need an appl

I'm not so sure that it was node.js that revolutionized paypal... seems like the gains were from switching to a more agile process (and adding some supporting tools). A lot of the fixes seem pretty agnostic to the actual platform that

apparently the matching algorithm isn't particularly smart... those are just the job postings that have the word "go" in it? http://www.indeed.com/jobanalytics/jobtrends?q=scala%2C+groo... edit: yeah, it

It sounds like you know what you are talking about, but I'm confused as to which portion of this product you are unhappy with. Is it the "wave to disable" feature? If so, I tend to agree -- that seems like a bad idea (it si

I believe the point was that there aren't any equivalent programs for a Bachelors at a respectable school (this is a Masters program), not that GT isn't good.

Cool! I was actually planning on doing the exact same thing this week, but you beat me to it. I just wrapped up a visualization of github activity -- ( http://github-wargames.com ), and thought that doing a visualization of simul

If the author chooses to do this, absolutely get rid of the log scale. The chart makes it look like 95% of the DoD civilians are on furlough. Its 50%. The author is simply trying to show too much on that chart, and s/he is inadver

I personally think the author did this because otherwise the DoD would so heavily dwarf everything else that you wouldn't be able to see whats going on. But I agree, intended or not, this has the effect of heavily exaggerating the pro

Ah, that chart on the bottom is on a log scale. I wasn't expecting that... and if I didn't look closer I would have completely misinterpreted it (for example, it appears that the DoD is mostly shut down).

Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to finish getting this completely working properly in FF. I assume that's the browser you were using (sorry about that).

Yup, that was the intent. It mimics the war room in the 80's film WarGames: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086567/

I've been fiddling around with a realtime(ish) geo visualization of github updates. Fans of the movie WarGames might enjoy the theme: http://streams.robscanlon.com/github Its a work in progress!

Not that there is any right answer here (that's the whole point), but my interpretation is less a technical one than the ones suggested so far. Being fast gets you to far away places, but being responsive gets you places where you want

It might be worth noting that in the tutorial. While this has a lot of great benefits for people that move a lot of data around between their servers, it doesn't really improve security at all.

What I find the most amazing about this whole thing is that it was designed by the same architect as the "death ray" building in Las Vegas. You would think they would have learned from their mistake. http://www.busines

I don't often say "wow", but this is just amazing. And I was actually struggling this week to get the appropriate css transforms together for some simple 3d effects on a website of mine -- this will make things a TON easier.

True, it works great for the average dod user (and in an enterprise in general) because they have a helpdesk that sets everything up for them. Once its configured it works fine, which is consistent with the message of this article. Good lu
