Joyent's decision to publicly shame one of Node's largest contributors with a passive-aggressive blog post instead of approaching him privately speaks volumes about their maturity.

I'm not sure if 23andme's management team is totally out of touch or if they have genuinely mislead the public about their product's effectiveness. I'd assume the latter. They could have easily done periodic check-ins wi

You should try using a backend-as-a-service if you aren't comfortable with databases/scaling/etc and would like to get the app out. Parse (parse.com) would probably work great for you. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get th

I use emacs for anything with S-expressions and vim for everything else, but you should be careful with information overload. It's very easy to get started with LightTable if you want to play with Clojure, so I'd recommend that ap

I disagree and think that this is best done in userland. Adding native support for features that aren't critical can retard future development significantly.

Am I the only person who thinks that being on the buying side of this is a losing proposition? How many of those people at $1mm per head will make it through your technical interviews and fit in well enough with your culture? How long do th

Avoiding errors by using primitive data structures instead of objects and threading them through functions. Sounds like functional programming to me!

Not only is WebGL not declarative, but how do you handle rendering text and having the browser know that it's text? While HTML/CSS has serious compatibility and expressive issues, it's moving in the right direction very quick

I find that pairing more during a kick-off / design phase of a project has been beneficial to my team, but I don't think pairing yields many benefits once design goals have been well-defined.

Do they still use RDS? Were they able to stay on a single RDS master?

Another method, if you decide against a statically generated site, is microcaching [1] with nginx. Your backend only needs to render the page once each second and subsequent requests see the cached version. You should be able to easily hand

You could simultaneously apply for jobs and also to an MS program at good universities. Go through the job interviews, visit with your potential professors, and then go with your gut feeling.

For the last 5 years, I've gone to the gym once or twice a week (usually just once). I do powerclean or snatch -> squats or deadlift -> bench and then I leave in around 45 minutes. When I explain my routine to friends and coworkers,

Another thing to note is that typical memcached configurations have a short max key length (256 or 512 or something like that).

Rails, by default, uses '<table-name>-<id>-<updated_at>' for the cache key of an activerecord object. When an ActiveRecord object's `updated_at` column is touched, then all of it's cache keys will invalidate. I don't

This was also my first thought on the departure. The announcement did look ambiguous on whether Ive would be the final sign-off for software UI. I certainly hope he is, for the reasons you mentioned.

I've been using NodeJS in production for a few years, and I'd agree that is probably not the best way to write an application with many layers of business logic. That said, it's wonderful for networking, child process management and handlin

I'd just like to say that my athletic performance, body composition and mental clarity have been far, far better on paleo than any other diet. I'd also recommend the two books gxs mentioned. Of course, not all digestive systems are created
