That didn't answer the question. Just because you don't store credit card information doesn't mean there aren't steps you still have to take to protect cardholder data. PCI compliance applies to both storing and transmitting cc info.

While I understand that real-time full-text indexing is a much more difficult problem to solve, I've got just under 1.5 billion tweets "indexed" in TweetStats. And I'm one person. Granted, given the 30MM/day number they must be growing that

That acquisition didn't actually happen. It was just rumored and TC never updated their article.

Sadly, no, you can't. Facebook seems to offload older data to systems that are inaccessible to third-parties using the graph API. Their "Download Your Data" feature has access to this tier via async methods. Reference: http://bugs.develope

Just because the repository is empty doesn't mean the forkers didn't modify the code. I've forked many a project, modified it locally, and not pushed it back up for a variety of reasons not limited to: laziness, abandonment, and shameful co

We've been pretty happy with the scalability of Mongo where we use it for RowFeeder. We've got over 1 billion documents over several terabytes. The main challenge we encounter is our indexes are much larger than RAM, but given that we index

I completely agree with this statement. In the software industry (and other tech industries like InfoSec), these type of certifications are fluff that anybody willing to spend a few hours studying a book can pass.

"most" being the key qualifier there. And there's no requirement that they do, so no means by which to qualify them. Some of the best never do go through that process simply because the state of the art is advancing so fast. I'm not sure an

But it does ensure a minimum bar for those licensed to practice professionally. So, theoretically (heh), even the worst licensed MD/architect/etc has met the minimum requirements for practicing. I'm not saying they can build an 80-story sky

"is there a process by which you can weed out the good Civil Engineers from the bad ones" Yes, this the process of licensing. In those professions you mentioned, all people who (legally) work in the field must undergo a process of training

I've been wanting (to build) this for a while. I have lots of different clothes, but usually stick to the same set of outfits. Whenever I try something new, I have trouble knowing if it "goes well together" without some sort of outside conf

As a former web application security guy, and now developer, identifying and disclosing vulnerabilities on websites is still very much a troubled area. Most companies don't have proper security@ email addresses set up or monitored, and stil

Yea, makes sense. That limit almost seems to fall along the lines of "Nobody should need more than 16MB for inline map/reduce results." ;)

Not really a big deal to just output to a new collection and query that.

Completely off-topic, but the first thing I thought of when I saw this was R-Studio, an old file/disk recovery software. I was surprised to see that the R IDE has a trademark on "RStudio" (in both US and Canada) given that the former has be

Would you be able to use real-time updates for this to avoid polling? http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/ I'm not sure if it notifies you on friends changes or just the user that authed your app. I assume the latter.

Sadly, Chrome has started not closing properly on me. It starts with tabs not closing unless I close them twice. Then if I quit Chrome, the window disappears but the process is still running and I have to force quit. Most up-to-date 9.0.597

Cool idea - I have the same problem and once started tracking a "last contact date" in my OS X address book. Then I had an AppleScript that would go through and check that date and give me 3,6,9 month reminders. I'd love something that woul

As an aside, selling t-shirts is how Peter Shankman (creator of Help-A-Report-Out) got started with his own advertising agency. He saw an opportunity (Titanic) and capitalized on it by selling t-shirts that said "It sank. Get Over It." Brie

Ah yes, I can confirm that. It's totally hosed when you're logged out since it redirects to the logged-out search page, instead of the integrated one when you're logged in. It also breaks the parameter encoding when it redirects. Nice.

You may want to look into royalty/revenue based financing. I don't know if your revenue is where it needs to be for that (i.e. revenueloan.com's typical investment makes $1-5MM in revenue), but something to look in to.

I can click back just fine on Chrome... Wikipedia annoys me like this with the mobile web client. If I click through a Google result to wikipedia, it redirects me to m.wikipedia.com and I have to hit back twice to get to Google.

LinkedIn is pretty stingy about their ToS. You even agree to a on-site code audit if they feel your app is in violation (Section 1.8). I haven't used Cubeduel, but I wonder if they're displaying user info in violation of: "Data gathered fro

The processes section intrigues. As the "CTO" in a 4-person startup, I'm constantly juggling between getting $hit done and documenting what the heck I did to get $hit done. Seems to be a fine balance.

As I realized after Twitter's "developer" conference last year, the era of the Twitter hacker is coming to a close (see http://twitter.com/#!/dacort/status/12005978721 and http://twitter.com/#!/dacort/status/12032959629 ). If you are not
