I presume the only thing I would like to check out on FreeBSD is dtrace. The 2nd thing would be perhaps something related to ZFS.

That FastCompany wattermark on the pictures sure was annoying. Were they afraid that pictures of 20 year old tech might be stolen ? Really ?

The title is about owning a server but all the points he makes are about owning and managing a whole Data Center by yourself. Of course that complicates matters ! What I don't understand is why wouldn't they take for example collocating the

The only thing missing for these Javascript/HTML5 iPhone apps is a way to package them so you could publish them on AppStore. I know people can bookmark the app but the AppStore is also a great venue for people to discover your app. Another

I'm surprised I can't use my developer account to upload a book to iBookStore directly (or some song on iTunes for the matter). After all I could just put an app that shows the book via iTunes connect, or even put a generic book-reader and

You guys did hear about A/B testing didn't you ?

What's surprising is that the legacy system still works after the reimplementation. The guy might know what he's doing and this way he really understands the domain now.

I was planning on getting a Dell Mini 10 to put OSX on it but literally a day before paying for it Apple release some update that killed support on Atom CPUs. Nowadays I think it's working again but it showed me that perhaps it won't be as

How cheap do you want that computer ? Because pretty sure you could get an older Mac. Also -- HTML5 and Javascript-level frameworks such as phonegap.com seems to gather some following. You might want to look into that. I've written a few ap

The difference is that Opera Mini uses Opera's servers as some caching and compressing proxy server, it doesn't actually connect to nytimes.com like Mobile Safari in the demo. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Mini and especially ht

I might have come out as patronising, sorry about it. I do imagine the situation less safe than the US for some reason. Anyhow, moving to the US wasn't just so he could be safe or whatever but so he could really contribute to the field.

I don't really know how safe Russia is as a country but would it be wise for a teacher there to just accept $1 million without taking some precautions ? Personally I'd say the first precaution would be to move with the family in the US, pre

Heh, interesting argument, I haven't looked at it like that. Although I still see JSON as a great accomplishment not for what it is technically but for the following it has (ie. the social aspect, the actual developers using it). PS: I'm ac

Yeah, I've also wondered about that. Plus that I see JSON as a minor format, it's not like someone didn't think before: "let's just wire some lisp over a socket and eval it on the other side". The same about the guy that invented Markdown,

Whatever the Coffee-shop or Lounge I'm into has, usually some form of lounge or ambient music. When at home I don't have a particular style. If it's quiet, I'm OK with that. When it's noisy (usually some neighbor's dogs or own music) I just

Well, it depends how you view the original question. Sure, you could eventually find some purpose to the 48 cores, but that implies an active search for such a purpose and basically a side-project. I dunno, I might just collocate the server

I'm pretty sure the first such device will be a future iPhone. It looks to me that the current mobile corporations (let's say Nokia) are so used with business as usual and the tight lockin they don't want to make this step. iPAQ "blue dock"

"Hello world" must go away from all language examples. It's irrelevant how complex doing hello world in Java is since no user actually cares about stuff visible in text mode starting a decade or more back. Of course, Java won't win a brevit

Not so sure about that... It looks to me that A/B leads quite easily to a local optimum. But it's better than no method at all.

Don't take this the wrong way but on every comment I've read from you, there is "A/B" :-) Not sure how Zynga's effectivness might be against your religion, but "A/B" is part of you somehow: religiously or not.

This would be great if: 1. They provide some way to upgrade the software and actually bother maintaining it a few years. Not like people buy TVs at the rate Android is evolving. 2. They provide some way to install 3rd party applications 3.
