I think being 'easier' in a Rails app is debatable. Facebook authentication certainly isn't 'hard'. IMO OpenID is an awful user experience, I much prefer using Facebook. But that point is certainly debatable as well.

I wrote the aforementioned article. Being an intern implies a temporary/part-time position or a student position, however the dictionary term is: "A student or a recent graduate undergoing supervised practical training." I think that's abso

The difference between that and bootcamp is that the end-goal used to be to get a certificate that in theory could get a job. Bootcamp is different because the goal is for the engineers to be bootstrapped to the point they can use google to

I really wish I could agree with you, but in my experience, ActiveRecord is just way easier to deal with than Mongoid.

RDS is awful. The interface is shitty and buggy, offers graphs that you can't do anything with, the backups cause our system to fail every night, EBS backing has serious spiking problems, you can't access the replicas and it runs a shitty c

where does postgres need to catch up? and what knowledge gap?

Postgres has had solid replication since 8.4

I should've noted in the article, almost all of those are optional extensions to Postgres

So I know for a fact that disqus can export into XML, not sure about livefyre, but... you probably know how I feel about them after the article haha

I don't think you were at all. Many people mentioned the same thing you did. I'm new at blogging, so I'm trying to take in everything and produce the best content I can, so I love the feedback! I would love to see a follow-up article too by

Your understanding is correct, but those 'other features' is right where Redis becomes interesting. If you just want a better memcache, use membase.

tabby, I've also updated the article to mention the fact that KEYS may not be a solid use of the system. I would appreciate any feedback!

by dickeytk 15y ago
doh! I got it backwards. You are right that hashes are more efficient: http://redis.io/topics/memory-optimization However, for this particular problem, the docs do say: Don't use KEYS in your regular application code. If you're looking fo

YES! It's a winning powerhouse.

Yes!! Thank you so much. That's exactly the point I was trying to make.

It's no authoritative source, but I'm obviously not the only one that thinks this: http://www.webdevelopment-blog.com/2011/07/puma-on-redis/

Thanks for linking the antirez article, I actually haven't seen that one before I wrote the article. I put a link to it in the article. As far as they keys thing, it's obviously been a major point of contention with my article. I know the w

Right, I know what the docs say, however, it's fine to use this for cache invalidation (but maybe not other use-cases) in production. The docs also say: "While the time complexity for this operation is O(N), the constant times are fairly lo

Codes are just randomly generated then stored in a postresql db for later reference. If there is a collision, it adds a digit.

I guess Twilio has UK numbers in beta right now. Maybe I could clone the site and throw it up on another Heroku instance and use one of those.

It appears to me (in my 1 minute look at the site) that it's a server-side framework. backbone and knockout are client-side EDIT: I think what I just said is incorrect since the article makes a backbone comparison

Trouble is, without accounts, how can I tell who the originator of a conference is? My goal is to keep the UX as brutally simple as possible. I'm really against having payments get in the way of using the product in ANY way since I feel tha

No problem! I MIT licensed it as well, so feel free to hack, change, sell away! If you have any questions about it, let me know.
