I skimmed more and read less of the original article as I went along, but from what I got, it just seems like he's trying too hard to make a clean, academic argument regarding the publishing industry. It's been around so long that it's ful

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that InfoQ interviewed a team of really smart guys doing exciting and challenging (and computationally intensive) data analysis on a sparkly new-ish cloud host that's supposedly doing great things for sca

I'm not saying eval does scale, I'm just saying it's not evil. Of course, if I want to actually manipulate the parse tree, I should parse the string first. But if I don't need that kind of power, there's no sense in contorting my code to

That is so far from anything I would ever want to see on a slide (unless it's just meant to poke fun at such code), I don't even know where to begin. When you program, do you think of it as an exercise in bending your mind to the whim of th

Just xml files in a horribly tall folder hierarchy, you mean. Hand-editing xml (especially with a foreign schema) is retarded.

I'm about halfway through this. Not sure I liked it at first, because his style seemed a bit too heavy-handed, as if he were a 16 year old with a really big thesaurus, trying to allude to as many different things as possible. It's grown o

Too much of desktop linux has strayed from his #5, and it bothers me to no end (yes this means you, hal and dbus and gconf).

The best ones I've seen really aren't that gifted --- they just make an effort to structure what they want to say in a meaningful way, and use the crap out of the chalkboard.

We'll be looking at many ways to cut networking overhead over the coming weeks, including socket communication (though I don't know if MySQL supports this).

We talked to some datacenters, and they said they've been playing with SSDs for a while (I don't remember whether they're offering this to all their customers yet). One interesting thing one mentioned is that with traditional SSDs, they se

The new garbage collecting firmware is probably only effective for consumer use, not enterprise, as these firmware chips (we think) need some downtime to operate properly. We haven't gotten our hands on them, but we don't think they'll sol

I wrote the benchmark, and have never developed on a Mac or with the Cocoa framework. I started with a C application because I was familiar with the MySQL C api (specifically, their prepared statements), and that was very fast. Adding thr

Don't learn python in order to redo the site. If you're hiring people that would that much rather have it in python than PHP, you'll probably end up making novice language mistakes that will make them end up hating the codebase and want to
