I don't really understand the obsession with using HTTP methods. OP brings up a good point that using only GET/PUT/POST/DELETE to only represent CRUD is extremely limiting, but suggests that using even more obscure HTTP methods would be les

Although I do think this guy is naive and should reserve judgement until he has had real time to reflect, I don't think there is a tremendous difference between managing people's perceptions vs. managing a career. As it has been since ancie

Since most of these laws are written by politicians and not economists it's more likely that they want to appear tough on immigration to avoid "dey took our jerbs!" style anger from the electorate. It's sort of like how clubs force people t

Here is an excellent resource which made me a convert to uwsgi: http://nichol.as/benchmark-of-python-web-servers . Setup is a bit more difficult, but if you are already using nginx it isn't so bad.

But then I think you are giving up the main advantage of using mechanical turk over just roughly matching pixels. It is possible matching pixels will get the wrong answer where a human, with the context of being human, will know what the im

After struggling through using sbt and Maven/Ivy I can say it is categorically worse than what I have used in other languages including ruby-gem python-pip clojure-leiningen (a jvm language) and node-npm. When I say worse I mean doing what

This is true. I think couchdb tries to be all things to all people rather than just focusing on being a great data store. It's a database like mongo, it's a mobile database like sqlite, you can use it to host apps with couchapp, you can use

It's interesting that couchdb gets little love (as evidenced by google trends), but it has document storage by index, easy enough to install, copy on write so has no global lock, sharding with bigcouch, and all client access is entirely RES

Also, CouchDB is all REST, so many people just write their own drivers.

hmmm, I suppose I've always associated it with some manner of debriefing, i.e. a mission post mortem. But, to avoid confusion I've updated the title.

So... should nobody use ec2? Or any host for that matter? Sooner or later you're going to have to trust some third-party.

And the arms race continues. I expect this will work only as long as law enforcement doesn't recognize it's a ram only box, after which they'd just keep it plugged in or drop it into liquid nitrogen to preserve the bits if they cared enough

Personality will make more people love you, but will also make more people hate you. However, both drive page views and attention.

It doesn't have to be theory. Very basic python scripting could help anybody. For example, my sister wanted to reformat the naming of 500 or so photos. Time to do this by hand: 30 soul crushing minutes Time to write a python script to do th

Hash sort is surprisingly fast: for x in [0 ... VA.length] ind = VA.get(x)-1 VA.swap(x, ind + VA.length) for x in [0 ... VA.length] VA.swap(x, x + VA.length)

It hurts people's innate sense of fairness though. When you see the people who manufactured the crises repleting their losses with money from middle and working class american's it is upsetting and does indicate the system has problems.

Although a less descriptive name allows you to adapt your service more easily. If amazon started as onlinebooks.com it would have made the migration to online everything + AWS + kindle + everything else more difficult.

I haven't found Android UI to be that much better than html and the rest, you still have to say where everything goes and then write the code to tell it what to do. Browsers are at a disadvantage because they need to have a ton of security

That is a very good question, but I think we differ on the answer. The moral of the article doesn't seem like he should have cared more about marketing, usability, business relationships or all the other cruft involved in forming a business

In my experience, "correct" is often subjective.

I'm saying if I wrote a "REST API" and everyone understood what that means, what would it matter whether or not it checks every box laid out by the originator of the term.

It is odd the designer decided to compile to lua. It's probably because it's easier to knock out the language fast that way. Although usually when someone wants to do this they compile to C and use gcc from there (this is what go did in the

I'm a logic fan so I like prolog a lot, though for many people admittedly its greatest attribute will be expanding the way you think about programming. However for some problems you might want to go right to constraint programming as you me

Very elegant, though in some cases 0x0 is addressable, in which case, the abort never happens.
