Very nice and clever. I like it it fits seamlessly into the text.

Surely if you write with expounding in mind you'll take that into consideration in your text. You DO write the expanded text after all...

Agreed. I'll ping when ready :)

"mySql" is dead to me. Literally. Anything Oracle touches becomes a potential legal liability. Its Maria DB now and although I do maintain a legacy 100GB+ MARIA db, I will never use it again for new projects. The thing about postg

Its not just that. I waited patiently for 9.4 to come out as I needed just that functionality of indexable JSONB for something I'm working on. It was pointless for me to start the project without it. 9.4 came out better than I could ha

Out of curiosity what does it matter if your postgres download is via http or https? Is there any benefit of hiding your download from prying eyes?

It looks like in 9.4 PG went after the document databases and now they are after Oracle. I don't know why I get excited with point releases of postgres, but I do.

I want to pay people a monthly salary - as normal everywhere else. I just don't want them to work HARD for it, just SMART. They can choose their hours, and if they don't need to communicate - there's no need to overlap with a

And what's your impression of this arrangement? What does your colleagues think?

I actually come from multiple backgrounds. In the last 20 years I've done mostly startup environments and a bit of corporate in 3 countries/cultures. I've also done a fully remote startup which later evolved (and died) into a

1. Task estimation depends on the task really. I always thought a feature is debated, decided upon and the outcome speced to some degree, wireframed etc. Duration can be estimated by the developer. Over time people learn to estimate more ac

By the title I thought I'd hear some compelling arguments for Apple to ditch it's os and create a new one. I'm more of a Linux person myself but from what I'm reading osx could use some improvements. It turned out to be

Yes, that is always an ideal but the right kind of people make it unnecessary. I've been involved with hiring for other companies as well as working with remotes. Its very hard getting the right people for both scenarios. In fact getti

wasn't taken as accusation at all :) I am looking for critique and holes, caveats and best practices. That's why I posted. I really appreciate your reply.

My expectations are not unrealistic. I don't even care if someone who can achieve a task in 20% of his time is paid for 100% of his time. The task was completed, that's all I care about. That, and that the person is happy and s&#x

ALL drugs should be legal. At least in the sense that using is not a criminal offence. Once drugs are legalised, regulated, quality assured by the government, and of course taxed, a large proportion of crime will be eradicated. Why would I

If your setup makes sense for you, its fine - stay with it. focus on real problem, not ones people on this thread think you have :) I'm not one of those mongo bashers. I've used mongo before for the same purpose you do - time seri

In about 4+ years using Softlayer, I didn't have a single problem with them. The bill at the end of the month was reasonable for the amount of servers and traffic, and even one time where an errant worker on our app generated terabytes

Here are a few suggestions based on 6+ years in adtech (which have just came to a close, never again thank you): * Use a Queue. RabbitMQ is quite good. Instead of writing to files, generate data/tasks on the queue and have them consume

To be fair, people have made worst games in recent times. The fact we are hanging on to ET as The Worst of all, is a bit unjust. If someone can screw up a game with today's technology they deserve the title even more than a game create

This movie launched my love to computers and I owe my career to it. I was in awe how broderick got to hack all computers, have the adventure and get the girl. Perfect, I'll have some of that please. I still want to thank him one day.
