I was a big fan of Meteor early on, but the decision to go Mongo and only Mongo killed my interest. I can't think of anything that I can do on Meteor that I can't do faster and better with a set of tools that I assemble myself.

It's probably too late. The work they've done with blaze is wasted since react and angular(still) are dominant. The work they've done with MongoDB is wasted since most of the world wants SQL. So what do they really bring to t

Here's the reason that it doesn't work. Imagine that your village has a 1000 people and someone is torturing you to find out "who is your cell leader." At first you are resisting, and so you name random people in the vil

Read an article about this a while ago, can't remember exactly where. This is location dependent. In places where there's tons of water cloth is better. Where there's little water, disposables are environmentally better.

Funny, I just came back from visiting two companies that do excellent outsourcing work for us, one in India, eternussolutions.com and one in Poland, www.soldevelo.com. The secret? We've built a long term relationships with them, have r

Yes, it's a classic case of premature optimization. * As you mentioned, you get most of the benefits from gzip compression. * You pay a major debugging penalty for having your code minified, since it's much harder to figure out wh

I never understood why software estimates are so bad when other fields do so well. When a contractor gives you an estimate of how long and how much it's going to take to do a remodel, he's invariably on time and on schedule, right

Well, you know about our "free" lunches and amazing hardware "given" by the company, fancy offices, etc. Now you know where the money comes from :-). Seriously though, there are companies all over the place, from startup

Which is one of the reasons major communication systems should be distributed and standards based like email, rather than proprietary and run by a single company.

1. Codes should be like passwords. If they're guessable, they're no good. 2. All operations, including signing in, verifying the account, etc should be rate shaped. The more you try, the longer you have to wait till you can try ag

How is it that Google doesn't penalize them for this? I thought it's considered a big no-no to show people something different than what you show the crawler.

That's one of the reasons I use Firefox for my personal account(s) and chrome for work. Almost never have to deal with this issue. Periodically, I do need to switch on the personal side (I have 4-5 different google accounts), but i hav

The Model S was highly rated by Consumer Reports, but the predicted reliability is only average. Specifically, the 2013 had a much worse than average rating for Squeaks and Rattles and Body Hardware. This will certainly affect the price. Pe

Just another form of Knuth's "Premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it) in programming." Or my personal variant Most optimizations will end up in things being slower.

That's an old school build approach (it was 2003). The modern approach is: apt-get install (or your OS equivalent). It's 2014. I can't remember the last time I needed to install a package from source. Worst case scenario I
