Spent a couple of hours this evening on a small parser written in CoffeeScript: https://github.com/biilmann/coffee-toml Error handling is rough and it still doesn't handle groups with dots [alpha.beta], but appart from that it should be f

The move really did fix their problems back then. There were a period where they were really having visible scaling problems, with response times often getting painfully slow - apparently especially due to slow I/O. These problems completel

Nice! Didn't know that. That's really handy!

Love the gesture typing as well, it's really impressive how well it works. I've only been using it in english so far, and feel crippled as soon as I have to write a message in other languages. Is there any way to quickly toggle between diff

We use mongodb for the analytics as well yes. It's a less obvious choice there than for the CMS part, but it's a good enough fit, in-place updates can be really handy and we prefer not having 2 different databases. We don't index custom fie

We're using it for Webpop ( http://www.webpop.com ) and have generally been very happy with it. We were very well aware of its characteristics when choosing our DB, and didn't go in expecting any magic Web Scale or somehow getting a HA setu

Great idea :) From Webpop we'll offer a free project and a startup template ( http://app.webpop.com/themes/startup ) for anybody accepted into the program. For some people this might be enough to completely skip the Linode and buy one more

I have a small hosted service in beta, making it dead easy to push events via Server Sent Events (with fallbacks). http://www.eventsourcehq.com/ It's fully open source and can be self hosted as well: https://github.com/eshq/eventsource-b

Bootstrap and Zurb are actually quite different, in my opinion. Both are based on solid resets and (now) great, nestable, responsive grids. Bootstrap is great for when you're not a designer and you need to get something out there that looks

As a self-taught programmer I started out with completely the opposite level of confidence, and considered myself a really lousy programmer. I always assumed there were all these "real", "professional" programmers out there that really knew

Haskell is actually awesome for something like Comet or just about anything where concurrency is involved. I'm launching a small Haskell-based product called EventSource HQ ( http://www.eventsourcehq.com ) taking advantage of just this. Han

Nice to see more people discovering EventSource. I've launched a small hosted service based on my open-source, Haskell-based EventSource Broker, making it easy to take advantage of the EventSource API without running into any of these issue

Agree, Server Sent Events is an incredibly simple API, has none of the problems with proxies, security and complexity that websockets has run into and is perfect for the typical case where Ajax is fine for sending events to the server, but

We're also aiming to solve this with Webpop ( http://www.webpop.com ). we dont do inline editing, but on-site editing where you navigate to the page you want to update and click edit, we then highlight all dynamic content on the page and br

You'll work with a template language to define what parts of the page the client should be able to edit. Webpop lets you work with structured content, pull the content into your templates and define exactly the HTML used to present the cont

It's pretty much what I mean when calling Haskell hard to learn. For me it's also been a steep learning curve, and my experience hasn't been altogether different than yours. I started out maybe 5 years ago following tutorials, reading up on

My benchmark was mostly a parody, since Haskell just memoized the call and never really did the work. The point of the article was more the difference between the languages that really tackles concurrency (Haskell, Clojure, Go, Erlang) and

Couldn't agree more. I'm actually starting to become very skeptical of my own use of compass and sass. SASS makes it extremely easy to generate loads of really complex selectors that are very tightly coupled to the HTML they are styling. Mi

In a democracy you supposedly need enough of an education to work checkout in Tesco, to also be able to take informed decisions about who should lead your country and to vote in referendums on important issues.
