I'm not the biggest fan in the world of Solr (I prefer ElasticSearch), but "play nice"? Did you have problems shifting content from MongoDB to the index?

com·punc·tion/kəmˈpəNG(k)SHən/ Noun: A feeling of guilt or moral scruple that follows the doing of something bad: "spend the money without compunction". A pricking of the conscience.

Yes, as is the case with anything similar. I think it's admirable, but it would be nice if the community could congeal around one choice so that I can actually convince an employer to use it.

I don't know Github's reasons, but I can tell you mine! Unnecessary statefulness for what should be a script sucks. Running a whole VM just to run an app is immensely irritating. Also, Vagrant breaks in the same ways the usual bundler mess

I use this in Emacs on a daily basis, gives me all the completion, "go-to method definition", and refactoring power I get in Eclipse+Java.

That's what I write Clojure for, and end up with something faster and cleaner anyway. I even get to use Netty if I want. It's a bit misguided to make it a matter of taste anyway. There's nothing to discuss if you're making a decision on t

Independent of the community and boundary pushing aspects of Node.js, I don't recommend it to people because it commends an incredibly irritating pattern of programming. I get the impression that Dahl knew ahead of time that he was working

If you think that's cool, imagine how easy vocabulary is in Hebrew or Arabic once you know the patterns. The verb/noun/adverb patterns tend to be pretty consistent, so if you know the noun for "book", you can just apply the verb pattern to

I learned Hebrew when I was much younger, I'm no longer even remotely functional in it but I can tell you that it has a lot of patterns that can be carried over from other western languages. The primary novelty in it would be the K-T-B [1]

>I am not entirely sure why you need multithreading in a text editor for example. People often interact with APIs in Emacs or with things like git repos. Being able to make non-blocking calls to HTTP APIs and such would be rather nice.

Coffee in proximity of sleep-time will keep me up all night because I have a messed up circadian rhythm as it is (28 hours). I usually "downgrade" to tea later in the day and maintain a consistent melatonin regimen. Melatonin is well-attest

I don't think you can make a normative statement like "better" about this as far as comparing the two goes. I can say that my productivity as a programmer has traditionally been very bursty and requires long blocks of time and isolation. Th

You're looking for a do-it-all know-it-all walk-and-chew-gum developer for basically free. Also you're not looking for a developer, you're looking for a technical cofounder. I'd keep cracking on those Python courses if I were you two. Prett

I got my first credit (as in line of credit, not debit/bank card with VISA logo) card at the age of 16. More common than you think. On the other hand, I was living on my own at the time.

I like novel keyboards quite a bit. However, as someone who spent the last 20 years training the muscle memory for programming in QWERTY and 10 years using Emacs on QWERTY, this is completely unusable to me.

There are a lot of angles to approach this from. There are core principles and foundations to design, much like engineering. Cultivating a personal sense of taste is important as well. Start by doing some reading on the fundamentals of desi

Lamson isn't an open source alternative to mailgun and sendgrid per se, it's an open source alternative to writing your own library for email. With that said, specific functionality is more a question of learning lamson, and tying in librar

I don't know if it provides precisely the functionality you're seeking, but Lamson was designed to address the need for an easier to setup, but still programmable and powerful mail system. It's designed to be able to use ORMs, databases, an
