Another semi-useful one is <base>. Most probably have never seen it, but it's an easy way to direct all your relative links to a separate server. One can use it for simple load balancing.

I had a wrapper as well, unfortunately the source is closed in this case. But it wasn't a generic wrapper like yours. Basically it had a put operation that could take a huge sequence of data and persist all of them. The get operation wou

I actually use tokyo cabinet from clojure as well. It's interesting that the author explains his code bits.

Hah. Don't waste your time on any of those... You'll probably meet the wrong kind of "programmers" at those events. I would say stick with the language meetups (Ruby, Python, etc) and attend SuperHappyDevHouse. Also visit coworking faci

well the cool thing about greasemonkey was that you could do a little more than just inject javascript code... for example, you could make cross domain xhr calls as well, and it did so by jumping out of the security sandbox to do this. I'

by catch23 18y ago
In firefox, the only way to do cross domain xhr was to access a javascript object outside of the browser sandbox, make the call, then send the data back. I'd be pretty confident that google chrome's version would have the same security lim

wouldn't it be easy to verify? just have an external proxy and start comparing html pages from a normal connection. If there are differences in the html dom, then that site should be flagged.

The ioDrive isn't that expensive though... you don't need a million dollars. Their 80gig model is around $2500 so anyone who is building one of those "ultra-fast" gaming rigs probably wouldn't mind dropping $2500 to speed up the slowest p

well holding up the 10Gbps connection isn't the problem really, i don't think it manages the balance pool as effectively as nginx. I don't believe haproxy supports unix domain socket balancing either.
882.
by catch23 18y ago
I've found that nginx still performs around 10-15% better than haproxy. I was using the stable version of haproxy, so they may have improved speed with the experimental versions. One nice thing about nginx is that it can use local unix so

Well in the end, he was actually comparing compojure to wordpress, which is still wrong, but a little better. Clojure is a pretty nice language and if you need to do anything related to concurrency, it's probably the best fit. For example

Why do you use your control key down there? It's hard for any finger to reach it... you should be using the control key where the caps lock key is, your hands will thank you for it.

Here's one obvious use case: social apps. Most apps on facebook, myspace, etc don't really require perfectly normalized data, most of the stuff is just for fun, or games to generate ad revenue etc. Plus, you don't have to worry much about

I use an in-memory tokyo cabinet as a memcached replacement on my rails system. (well actually it runs merb, but close enough)

What? Where do you live in Atlanta? I've spent the last 7 years in Atlanta and I can tell you that it's not as tolerant as you think. I spent about 3 years living in Canlen Walk (Near the intersection of 85 & Buford Hwy), 4 years on

by catch23 18y ago
Erm, I guess you have a higher threshold for tolerance. Every time I board Marta, I'm usually mocked by someone of African American decent there. And almost every time I have to explain that I grew up here, I'm as American as you, yada ya

As an Asian who has lived in Atlanta for 7 years, I can definitely tell you that it's not friendly to live there as an Asian. Well, it's better than some places, but it's definitely crappy compared to the Bay Area or Boston.

I lived in Atlanta for 7 years. (went to school at Georgia Tech too). I moved there when the population hit 3M. Honestly, I did not like the startup scene there, I moved out and now live in the Bay Area. I'm an Asian American and there

Plus developers generally have pretty wonky setups that are crazy different from each other. Ever tried doing paired programming at a small dev shop? I couldn't type on anyone's keyboard, everyone had their own key mappings, keyboard layo

fortunately my domU xen instances will not need KDE, however they will gladly welcome a stable xen 3.2. I've been using backports since then, but I'm glad stable is done. I seriously doubt many are using debian on their desktops...

I think it's mostly as a way to smooth out their financial numbers, even companies with tons of money in the bank still uses short term debt on daily basis... at least that was how a business owner explained it to me.

Check out hackerdojo.pbwiki.com. We're trying to do something similar.

You should checkout superhappydevhouse. They have hacker parties that alternate between the bay & city. Also, some of us are trying to create a hacker space in the bay: http://hackerdojo.pbwiki.com/ I should note that I met my 2 cof

I thought this was relatively newsworthy because there are so few coworking facilities in the south bay area (Palo Alto / Mountain View) compared to San Francisco proper. The Bay Area startup scene needs a hacking / coworking facility of o
