This is hilarious! The voices are excellent and its just so bonkers absurd with the random junk on twitter being shouted out into my headphones. Instantly shared this with everyone :)

"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers." I took that to mean "Our programmers are building products, not thinking about building programming languages"

Am I mistaken, but this kinda looks like XForms. Why not just use XForms? Edit: Obviously I understand that XForms isn't a viable option these days, but that is kinda my point. Why isn't XForms an option? Those reasons appear to a

Does anyone know if the FastCGI implementation is complete i.e. it supports FastCGI processes in all three roles; Responder, Authorizer and Filter? I've always wanted to use FastCGI more but most implementations (in Apache and Nginx at

Incorrect. When you view a html page, the browser fetches the javascript, css and images in the page automatically.

The author CLEARLY has no idea what REST is or even why REST is used. How the hell did this garbage make it to the front page again?

I see what you're getting at but when Ruby/Rails was all new and shiny a couple of years back I knew an awful lot os junior/inexperienced devs who quite permanent jobs to go freelance/consulting for ruby/rails jobs

This is probably the soundest advice and agree wholeheartedly; the market appears to be saturated with inexperienced developers. This means, at somepoint (probably about now actually) there will be a very real need for good/great rails

This has been my perception too; over the past couple of years we've been inundated with recruitment agencies trying to pass on these Ruby/Rails devs like its the new hot shit and all I've ever seen in my experience is spaget

URLs are opaque in REST. This is an awful lot of article about URL design that doesn't matter (or is changeable at a later date). Remember, HATEOS means you can punt on decisions like this until later, and that's a cool thing!

One of the many reasons I like uncluttered and ornament-free interfaces is precisely because they are boring - these are tools at the end of the day and tools should strive to disappear; they are, after all trying to be extensions of myself

I disagree. Firing via email or pre-recorded voicemail saves YOU the embarrassment of having to sit through the employees sobs. In my opinion, firing is a failure of management, and one of the consequences and fixes to ensure a failure like

You're not a victim! Youre inability to control your costs, given the tools, alarms and general common sense doesn't entitle you to some magic off button! Learn to use the tools appropriately and you won't incur unexpected co

I hope so too. I really like the idea of Tick-Tock OS releases; first one is features, second one is performance/refactoring

Man I LOVED Tiger; best OS upgrade ever. It truly felt like a brand new machine and the features were not only useful they felt futuristic!

If you don't want it crawled, don't put it on the public internet. You're just participating in an arms race.

Living in the uk all my life and having switched adsl providers pretty much every 12 months for the past 10 years I can honestly say the above is utter nonsense. Yesterday bt wholesale can be a pain sometimes (the company that manages the l

Apologies, this is my ignorance re: scala but I have no idea what you just described, although to these ignorant eyes it appears to be a lot more complicated to read and understand than a simple if err != nil check! however, I will go and g

Personally, I don't believe error checking is line noise; it is part of your business logic. Forcing me to acknowledge and deal with error cases requires that I write more robust code, that I acknowledge the failures and errors that ca

A very large array of mysql databases. Basically, each month we fire up a new fresh database and start streaming data into it. Were currently pulling around 700Gb a month. Our reporting tools/systems run queries across this array. Its

Yes, and injecting JS into the page for easy analysis/collection. The delay is dynamic, based on captcha rates, proxy load and historic captcha costs. It constantly checks the current running costs and throttles the number of requests

Its a very single purpose system, so probably not amenable to general purpose crawling (though we do have a separate system that is based of the design of our core system that is a general purpose web crawler/indexer)

The packages don't state if the number of pages are per month, day or hour? We currently scrape well over 5 million pages an hour for a lot less (although, much like you we are geared up for such loads) but it would be interesting to s

The Linux kernal dev community is a community of rough tough programmer bastards. If you can't handle the knocks there, maybe that's not the community for you? I'm sure there are other less abrasive communities you can join?

Agreed. A single chart clearly illustrating the point you are trying to make vs. an interactive do-hickey that I have to twat about with and then infer meaning from, IMHO shows a huge disrespect for time of the audience. After all, its the

"The secret of twitter is rampant gossip" Fixed that for you. To me, rampant gossip, innuendo and Unverified "news" appears to be the draw. Couple that with the opportunity to participate in what is largely an unpoliced
