Nice to have but I'd stick with Solr/ES/Lucene for any serious string searching/autocomplete work.

Big shame the new $20 plan now only offers 2 cores versus 8 with the current plan. For my workloads, I don't need 2GB RAM or SSD disks, I just need the cores :(

I'm sorry but [0] and [1] are complete non-issues and I'm not sure I fully understand your point with [3]. The code is very far from terrible. Go look at Marionette's source on github - you'll find it's extremely ea

I use Marionette (a very light framework built on top of backbone) and love it - perfect blend of power and ease of use.

A very close approximation to patio11's vision of what tarsnap should be already exists: http://www.rsync.net . I use them with duplicity instead of tarsnap for exactly the reasons patio11 went in to. All the same benefits a

I pretty much agree with everything you've said but I think most of the worries are rendered harmless if keybase are clear and up front about the trade offs. If you have a need for cast iron privacy and security, don't use them. I

Keybase never has to know what your private key is or store it. So, yes, you are completely free to continue managing your private and public keys however you are used to. Of course, managing and creating your own keys outside of keybase an

You don't have to store your private key with keybase.

Probably me reading too much in to the email but I got the feeling that Cloudmade wasn't going to be around for much longer and worried what that would mean for leaflet development.

When I got the email that they were shutting down the API at the end of April, the first thing I rushed to check up on was the status of Leaflet.js (which I think had been sponsored by Cloudmade?). Fortunately, it seems it's now sponso

Why put yourself in a position where you need to worry about that happening? Keep the bulk of your BTC in a private wallet under your exclusive control and only use the intermediary provided wallet when you need to make a trade through thei

Of course it's futile. It doesn't mean you shouldn't do as much homework as possible to reduce the chances of an unknown unknown wiping you out (unless you just like a straight gamble, which is fine too).

Sorry I was being a bit sloppy. The point I was trying to make was that most people are better off outsourcing investment decisions to someone with more expertise than themselves unless they want to invest in an area they know particularly

You're both taking my advice a little too literally. There's a huge gulf between the impossible ideal of somehow achieving an "all knowing, zen mastery" over an investment and the "this looks fun, prices keep going

I'm sorry but for your run of the mill private investor that's awful advice. Unless you know what you're doing and have a very strong understanding of the investment, you are almost _always_ better off sticking your money in

>why not move it somewhere like Coinbase Frankly, that's not much better. Just move your BTC off the exchange in to your own private wallet. There's no excuse or good reason not to. Make sure your private wallet is encrypted wi

I'm truly sorry you've taken a hit but hopefully you can take this opportunity to learn from the mistake and in the future avoid investing large sums of money in something you don't fully understand. I know what I've jus

>Right up until gox suspended bitcoin withdrawals almost everyone was quoting the gox price for over-the-counter transactions. Every time the gox price was used it gave mtgox.com legitimacy. You are absolutely right about this and it cer

I agree with what you're saying in the abstract but in this particular case, I don't think it holds. Everyone knows Bitcoin is still in its infancy and effectively a modern day wild west. You don't need to be fully engaged on

Rather than enjoying some shadenfreude (directed at MtGox and its users, not Bitcoin itself), I'm bewildered by the users and upset that their stupidity has allowed this predictable fiasco to happen. Leaving the entirety of your BTC sa

I'd recommend kraken over bitstamp. Unlike bitstamp, kraken was immune from the malleability issues and didn't halt withdrawals.

In my case it was off by 55 miles so the address, lat/lng and postcode were wrong but other than that ok (my ISP is Andrews and Arnold). Why not just use Maxmind though?
