OK, I'll give you that. It can get real hot and sweaty instantly on the platforms. The change of temperature with the air-conditioned subway cars is brutal. Still beats traffic - I never feel like murdering the guy in front of me because of

+1 for ditching your car and moving to a place where you don't need one! huge expense that traps you instead of giving you the supposed freedom

Commute is a considering for where we live. If my commute were to become 45 minutes of suck, I'd move. All I am trying to say is that it's possible to commute a long distance and look forward to it.

3000$ laptop, are you crazy?! Mine is less than half that price, that is new. Get a linux netbook for half the price of a cell phone if that's a concern. Nobody steals anything from Russians on the subway because some Russians carry guns :)

IMHO, there's nothing shocking here for anyone who ever sold or built enterprise software for the .gov. The things involved in these deals are very complex. Google needs to hire some amazing enterprise sales people and not push its "we're r

Try to get that running on something like Heroku. Lucene is like renting a private jet to bring your kid to school every day.

Yes. But don't confuse with mongoid_fulltext. It doesn't do any regexes, it uses map/reduce where each n-gram is indexed separately.

by dblock 16y ago
Scale depends on what you're trying to do. I definitely think that mongoid_fulltext will work for 100K documents if you're trying to do relatively simple autocomplete. But this technology is not meant to compete with solr or any other dedic

Great feedback. I've edited the post "Even small and silly as this one, open-source contributions are very valuable. I know how excited Sebastian was that his first open-source project had a pull request. I know how users will love to see a

Sorry, I didn't realize people see it like this. I'll remove. Update: removed. I really just want to tell a very simple open-source story.

I encourage YOU to make a small contribution like this to any open-source project. Even if it's as silly as a favicon.
