We're using Redis. You?

You're welcome. The reason we use it for passwords is because there's no way to know the application or the user account associated to it.

Well, it is actually monitored by Stella. What is the issue?

Thanks, glad you like it. We kept it as simple as possible to get it out the door and start getting feedback. It's built with Ruby and Redis behind thin and nginx.

I like the idea. What about if the definition was in the form of HTTP requests, something like: GET / GET /login POST /login user={{CUSTID}}&pass={{PWORD}} GET /search?q={{QUERY}} The monitors.txt file could

I found Play easier to grok, it runs out of the box (and didn't require a bunch of dependencies that fubar'd my Ruby), and I really like how routes are defined in a text file: http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.2.3/routes As a s

Play is awesome. I'd been out of the Java biz for a couple years but I did a bit of work for a friend recently and took the opportunity to give Play a try. I prefer it over Rails.

Ah yes, of course we didn't implement our own bcrypt!

Similar, in Ruby: module Utils extend self unless defined?(Utils::VALID_CHARS) VALID_CHARS = [("a".."z").to_a, ("A".."Z").to_a, ("0".."9").to_a, %w[* $ ! ? ( )]].flatten VALID_CHARS_SAFE = VALID_CHARS.clone

Flickr allows you to choose a license when you upload an image, including limiting commercial uses. How you charge is a separate issue.

Every great product starts out as a dream but only a few begin with great fanfare. OP is talking about the more common reality of launching something new. As a wise advertisement once said, it takes time to cook a chicken .

Regex syntax can get nasty at times but after all these years it's still the best tool we've got for what it does.

Do you have references for those claims?
143.
by delano 16y ago
Perhaps that's true. The opportunity to generate a profit is a significant motivator for a lot of people though. That's not true for everyone and those people will write and release regardless. But for those that it is true, they will spend

Does that decrease net freedom? Edit: you added the comment about SQLite after I replied. The problem with public domain is that it's messy. It has a specific legal definition which is not the same across jurisdictions (and in some places i
