I coded, a lot, on things just beyond my ability. IMO this is the path to success in anything: practicing, a lot, on something just beyond your current ability. It's not always the most fun though, because since it's just beyond your abi

Wait what? Is the author suggesting that antirez stop his efforts on Redis and switch to working on MySQL stored routines? It says, "It’s just proof that antirez has options about where to spend his time." And then it switches gears to t

This is a huge and awesome milestone for the Cassandra project, and a big win for all its users. Congratulations all around for getting it out the door!

This is awesome! I'm also extremely jealous that you got to travel around the world and talk to smart people about interesting projects. Thanks for doing it.

Because they market infinite scalability, insane speeds, and they have a nice API. But people don't realize that, while the speed is fast, you're driving without a seatbelt, and the scalability story is more or less false. They do have a

Hah, it's crazy how the things we saw in science fiction are becoming a reality! Interestingly enough, the (unattributed) background music in the video was played/recorded by Adrian Holovaty, one of the original creators of Django: http://

The nice thing is that Amazon can basically continuously and automatically A/B test different price points for each app. Drop the price by a penny, is revenue better than projected over an hour? Ok, drop it by another penny, etc.

I'm getting an "Error establishing a database connection" on that post. Kind of ironic. I agree about your point regarding IPC, but that's something they can always add later. It's unfortunate that they've gone the callback route instead o

Why would you hack in and limit your own admin privileges?
