Sure, a couple I can think of: - when JSON is the native language of your application, certain NoSQL implementations are beneficial. The value/need for this is changing with more RDBMS introductions of JSON datatypes. - speed/ease of devel

It would seem so, when I visit in a non-WebGL enabled browser there's an indication saying it is required.

Shay works like mad on this project, it's awesome to see this for him and the rest of people working together on it. I've been on the ES mailing list for a number of months now and not a single question goes by without an involved response

I'm going to throw in my opinion on the name thing. I welcome disagreement, especially in this specific case, but there have been 3 or 4 different occasions lately where I have seen something similar come up. Kim Dotcom legally changed his

You likely are already aware of this, and maybe your selected domain name is not your permanent long-term choice for the project, but "scoutapp.com" (also named Scout) is a rather popular analytics package. It may lead to some branding con

Totally random first-thought possibility but could the app implement something similar to Shazam (can't remember if that's the app's name or not - the one that listens to songs and identifies them) to "listen" to something and recognize wha

It is unfortunately almost impossible to know what is going on here - both in terms of readability, and what the site is supposed to do.

I guess I don't understand - is this meant to be an object lesson or warning to people against using the wrong tool for a given application? The author self-identifies their problem as: "The problem I have is processing a lot of data quickl

Is it possible to file suit, and then in the future retain legal counsel for representation? (i.e. is it possible Aaron has simply yet to hire a lawyer?)

Are you think of something like chef? http://www.opscode.com/chef/ It maybe doesn't fit the bill of simple, but it's not too dreadfully hard to get set up if you only want it to fulfill some relatively straightforward tasks like you descr

Thank you! The 0.5.4 comparison point is what I believe he was presenting at OSCON. That's a major improvement since then!

At OSCON Ryan had given a report with some benchmarking of libuv vs. the current node 0.4.x implementation. I was hoping to see some updates on that (libuv seemed to pay a pretty steep performance penalty in Windows environments, versus a

I'm a bit curious about this. If you have 140M concurrent users (since this was the original complaint) and you are NOT prepared or capable of servicing/monitoring/maintaining 1000 servers, that seems like a fatal flaw in your server manag

I agree. I have a feeling PG was implying something more along the lines of the Einstein quote, "Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler."

Looking into something very similar right now. What's your tradeoff been in terms of, for example, disk taken up by Elastic for indexing? How do you find Elastic in terms of how well it keeps up with indexing the data recently inserted int

This is an interesting idea, but my very naive question would be: Even if the datastore contained only password hashes (which is good), wouldn't it be (potentially multiple) orders of magnitude easier to brute-force password attempts in the

We're not at all, really, and that type of hyperbole is extremely unproductive.

How does that get around a number of email clients flagging the warning that 'this email contains links to external images' or things of that nature? (Gmail does it, Thunderbird does it, I'm sure most modern email clients have that). To me

Google "node.js upstart" - there are a lot of good examples on how to get your app to respawn after crashes, run on startup, etc.

Quoting you here: "I'd also like to point out that the scope of the risk isn't trivial. For example, URL-based password resets are only as secure as the mailbox they are sent to. i.e. a significant number of domains are stolen and threatene

I'm in the process of writing some code that is hitting these very scenarios and characteristics right now. The metrics we put on the API call showed a remarkable spike when we switched from plaintext (in development mode) to bcrypt hashes

Briefly playing with it, I only had the minor-est of nitpicks, and I don't suspect other users would necessarily react the same way as I did. When I began live-editing the CSS, the semicolons disappear as you start editing the text, then au

Citation? I haven't seen this number and I'm very curious as to how it was derived.

Title (on HN) is a bit misleading - maybe intentionally so, I'm not sure. The linked article refers to "Evrything", a specific service, having an API.

Articles like this make me grind my teeth. I know I should have more self restraint, and I can forgive/concede a few points made in this article. Generally though it's just a major rehash of old news. I was not surprised to find that the

This is a neat idea and I commend you for the effort this has taken and will continue to take. I have some questions for you about how you perceive people using the service: How do you bridge the code-to-voice gap; that is, someone calling

I apologize but I do not understand your post. Are you saying LA to San Francisco is 350 miles and currently a 90 minute train ride (233mph) - contrasted against Beijing to Shanghai (205mph). So the high speed rail in China is slower? I re

I feel as though you may have encountered the same problem as I did when starting my Amazon service. The micro instance - the free tier - is actually free, and if you run more than one, additional ones cost roughly $15/month. However, what
