The title 'MySQL 6.0 Nixed' sounds so negative; it should probably be something more along the lines of 'MySQL starts cleaning up their act' ;) I, for one, welcome the promise of more regular releases with open arms.

Ha, this might sound silly but I'm on Linux so I can't see your app through that link. What is it, what does it do? Curious.

I'm disappointed to see that each of these TypePad Motion deployments will be closed on it's own, instead of hooking into some kind of distributed TypePad Motion network. At any rate it's open source... looking forward to what comes out of

As far as I know: these REE releases/patches are for 1.8.7, a release of Ruby that isn't quite being actively developed, only maintained. Stuff similar to this is being folded into the official Ruby interpreter, which is now at 1.9.1 (1.9

I wonder what the overhead of doing this as Rack Middleware is versus just putting it into your layout. This is markup, it belongs in your layout files. You're really just disorganizing your app by putting this into middleware.

I feel like a complete jerk for saying this (partly because Sunlight Labs is a non-profit), but it suffers from what I like to call the snippet marketing syndrome: 4 - 5 lines of code being fancied up into a 10 - 30 line "plugin" with heavy

These are slides from a presentation I believe. Does anyone have the original audio or video? Nevertheless, they are fantastic. If anyone has links to similar presentations for other languages, I'd love to take a look.

I could build their example twitter client in Cocoa in roughly the same time and with roughly the same LoC metrics. I'm not saying that because I have a big penis, I'm just wondering what the true value of these cross platform tools are...

"GitHub must be allowed to use the code commercially without restriction, regardless of the license choosen." I'm not too crazy about this. Contests can be good and bad at the same time. "Here guys, solve this very hard problem for us for f

I love what Guido had to say about this when choosing a DCVS for Python: It's hard to explain my reasons for choosing -- like most language decisions (especially the difficult ones) it's mostly a matter of gut feelings. One thing I know is

Zack, I'm directing this straight at you since I see you're the author of this post. Honestly, posts like this are just detrimental to both communities. They're immature and show a complete lack of understanding of software development. Cho

I'm sorry, but the author is misinformed. His "points" are based on the common (mistaken) belief that Firefox isn't commercially backed. Firefox is commercially backed, just like Chrome. And he seems to think/imply Chrome isn't open sourc

In my opinion it's a step back. It looks like a cross between a domain squatting splash page and one of those sleazy software download sites. So while not terrible ... I feel like it's a desperate and rushed "look at me" attempt at a redes

This is not to say that implementing C# is a bad thing. Free C# implementations permit users to run their C# programs on free platforms, which is good. (The GNU Project has an implementation of C# also, called Portable.NET.) I don't get i

I think this would be a neat project for a GreaseMonkey script-- those who want to see it can, those who don't, won't.

It is based on architectural cornerstones such as column-store, bitmap indexing, hash join/aggregation, and page-level multiversioning Meanwhile... no DBA required . Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I know the github guys are on HN, so I'd love to hear how they arrived on those prices. They seem very reasonable if not cheap to me, and I'm very interested in the inside scoop.

Still nowhere near as bad as Rogers' outrageous prices in Canada. $60/mo for 500MB of data? No thanks!
