I don't get it. Why does God always have to be so vague about things?

This prototyping story sounds to me like admittedly shooting yourself in the foot if your prototype turns out to be worth a damn. Basically, you're saying mongo is an excellent choice only when your storage backend is a moot point. I c

Having recently rolled out riak into a production environment I can offer some off-the-cuff bullet points: - Mostly easy to work with. Mapreduces can be a big pain to troubleshoot because you can't console.log() in your JS. Didn't

Well, I was going to say something similar, but I really just think he means Amazon's problems are easy compared to googles. That being the point, I don't think his phrasing is worth taking issue over.

I agree about the tone. The information makes a nice enough point, but the tone is a bit much. Edit: Also, is it normal for a post to get so many of its comments deleted? I thought we collectively moderated through scorn and disapproval, so

I think I understand where you're coming from, but think you're going too far. When you see people asking for legal advice and getting well intended information that is somewhere between useless and dangerous, it seems natural to

yeah because writing a filesystem was pretty trivial back then.

Half agree with your post, but I can see why you are downvoted. To me, in grief, platitudes and comforting words seem like a useless distraction and annoyance, but I wouldn't then go on to suggest your way of being around the grieving

More likely he's referring to the services people use to see where on the internet their ads are being displayed.

One assumes the fact that it just launched is partially responsible for that. We should see it take a more stable, but lower, position in the next month.

I can only wonder whether he is accomplishing anything with this. Not judging, I really have no idea. He seems a little immature and kind of obnoxious, even if his goals appear to be laudable. Maybe that's what it takes to get the attention

Any chance they could render textures, geometry, bullets and blood spray really fast?

Man, talk about not getting it. I don't think EA deserves to be voted the worst company in America by a long shot. But I do think they need to be publicly shamed to the point that they actually listen to why people don't like them (I don't

Uh, I'm certainly curious. Want to just say whatever it is that you're alluding to?

I dislike this not for what it is by itself, but for the door I fear it opens in the industry. When Activision thinly disguised their DRM by calling Diablo 3 an MMO, it was a notable and large step for the industry in the direction of remov

I don't blame him for being a bit frustrated though. I doesn't say anywhere that it doesn't support firefox. Was only able to move around and kill things when I switched to chrome. OT: Gamers tend not to have a lot in between hatred and lov

Rather than close these sorts of "not constructive" but clearly useful questions, it would be a lot better if they created a place for them. Something like knowledge.stackexchange.com, where the utility of public questions and upvoted answe

I don't think the downvotes for justin are merited. That site is remarkably ugly.

vagrant is a tool for automatically setting up ("provisioning") new vms, according to scripts. For instance, once you have scripts that download and compile apache, php, python, and perhaps mysql and postgres, you can automatically create a

I think you and others are really being overly sensitive about this. Yes, they probably shouldn't have called your favourite browser outdated, but it's obvious that it was an oversight, and consequence of taking an informal tone with giving

The best outcome for users is being able to search one site listing all possible ads from many sources. Unless craigslist starts bringing in others results, and I'm not saying they should, it's still less useful for apartments than padmappe

Is there enough legroom? I tend to unconsciously wrap my feet around anything within reach while I'm working, and not being able to do that actually kind of impedes concentration.

What I am witnessing is someone trying to inform people, while effectively censoring himself by delivering in such a way as impedes its delivery. You obviously have a vested interest in seeing your "message" be received, so stop ignoring wh

Open message, "Create filter from this message," add an appropriate label, check skip the inbox and automatically label and your folders are good to go. I wasn't keen on gmail's insistence that labels were all I needed either, but I find th
