That might be a point of Redis, but it's certainly not the whole point, as I don't care about it but Redis is still useful to me. And again, just because I can do it myself doesn't mean I should. I came into adulthood as a

This is definitely true. Bicyclists on public roads have (most of) the same responsibilities as drivers, which means penalties for breaking the rules.

The actual language differs from state to state, but in general there is no attempt by the states to revoke certain individuals' right of riding a bicycle. (For example, being pulled over for drunk bicycling can get your driver's

I don't think it's appropriate to consider bicycles as "first-class vehicles" in all situations, namely in the dangerous situations you list (speed limits >~25mph, multiple automobile lanes, etc.). Driving a motor v

I have modest needs from Redis -- basically I want a queue ~1000 items long, under 1MB per item. I could provision a couple of EC2 servers, get Redis going on them, set up some sort of monitoring, some failover mechanism, etc. $X/mont

When that timetable is 72 hours long, it's a slap in the face. We'd be talking about this a lot differently if MyRedis' sunset were six months out.

I was evaluating Redis Cloud at work, but this gives me real pause. This reflects very poorly on Garantia Data. Any suggestions for other hosted Redis services people like?

A car is still fundamentally a four-wheeled carriage, but it's disingenuous to use that to minimize a century of progress. Today we have bikes that can ride virtually any terrain, carry hundreds of pounds of cargo, soak 10" bumps

Data point: I bought a System 76 Ubuntu netbook 2-3 years ago and it was garbage. Bad power management, finicky trackpad, sticky keys on the tiny keyboard. I hated using it (so I didn't).

I don't see it that way at all. The Mac Pro has always been about the top 1% power users. The appeal was twofold: it was a bitchin'-fast machine you could stuff with as many cards and drives as you want, and it ran OS X. This ne

Wow. I had no idea about git pull requests, so I even googled it, and didn't see it on page one. My mistake, thanks!

I think what those users mean is that they want the project on Github. There's no concept of "pull requests" within Git. Anyway, most Git users aren't Mercurial refugees; I wager we're Subversion refugees and kids.

Well, if this is pronoucned "jif" then that means it's also "rejex". And what kind of world is that.

No, it's completely unrelated to rhyming slang. I believe it comes from the "Mc" which often begins Irish surnames.

This is equivalent to a Youtube video where someone demonstrates how to play a popular song on a guitar. Anyone against that is not on the same team as me.

No, no, no. I disagree strongly that APIs should be vague about what they provide. An API designer who deliberately leaves out documentation of important features (like pagination, sorting, etc), and fails to specify the format of what com

Happy birthday, NetBSD! My tool of choice for my first ten years of Unix. While Linux was scrambling from kernel update to kernel update, NetBSD felt pro on whatever scrounged hunk o' silicon I had powered up at the time. Congratulations

There were a few things I noticed: - You need to be using 'sass-rails', not 'sass', in your Gemfile for config.sass to work. Don't put it in the :assets group, either. - You must set config.sass.compress = false (or rather, you must not se

There is -- hypermedia. That's the practice of driving your API by following hyperlinks, rather than by constructing URLs and requesting them. There are several schemes of encoding link information in API resources. I like the Hypertext A

I'm OK with firing a developer evangelist for acting like that at a developer conference. Her job is to endear SendGrid to devs; clearly the opposite happened.

First, Ruby has no built-in way to accomplish dynamic scoping. Perl is Very Powerful. Second, refinements apply lexically. Consider a class A where refinements have been declared, and a class B where they have not. Class A code calls Cla

This kind of hot-swapping can be achieved on quite a few languages; certainly Perl and Ruby in addition to JS, and I'm sure there's a dozen more languages that allow you to redefine at runtime. The difference is that Smalltalk made hot-edi

In our post-moral world, we could at least pretend that's on the table.

Jobs and Wozniak were phreakers. America relied on the phone system at that time.

Huh, I didn't know that. The Aveo was the best of the "American" bunch but I did notice a lot of slop in the clutch response when starting from rest. It'd rev too long, then grab suddenly. Shouldn't feel that on a new vehicle, and pedal

I was on travel a lot this summer, so I had a chance to rent and try many cars. I was universally unimpressed with every American car I drove, pleasantly surprised by every Korean car, and unsurprised by the quality of the Japanese makes.
