Derek, Do you guys have a timeline on that? As I said, I don't mind sitting down and trying to knock it out but schedule wise it won't be in the immediate future. If you guys are already on it (as in someone is currently working on it), I c

Yeah I was a bit confused by this as well. I haven't looked at the rails code in vcap yet but you're right in stating that this is a solved problem. I think they were going for something a little more generic for code reuse reasons? I plan

If anyone is curious, I did a post about plain sinatra apps and some of the gotchas with Cloud Foundry here: http://lusislog.blogspot.com/2011/04/sinatra-noah-and-cloudf... Sinatra support is pretty basic at this point but it promises to

The electoral college ONLY applies to the president. The president can't (despite best efforts) unilaterally make laws. The role of president has very little legislative power (IMHO) as it should be. The fact that people blindly use the wor

pedantic rant. We're not a democracy. We're a federal republic. Democracy is mob rule.

This is actually perfect. Filesharing sites don't register on the average user radar. Online gambling sites? Joe Schmoe's everywhere are about to get seriously angry. It's sad it came to this but maybe it takes something as overreaching as

Yes, I apologize. There are a few things that raise my hackles when it comes to discussions of "income inequality" and "rich people". 1) The presumption that wealth is gained at the expense of someone else. 2) That wealth is always given an

True. Obviously if we both work for the same company, there's a fixed set of money they pay for our two salaries (generally speaking). Should I perform better, My salary might go up at the expense of yours going down but alternately your sa

Wealth isn't a fixed pool of stuff. Me having more wealth isn't taking away from someone else.

It was Ted who said it and he was pretty much wrong. The issue isn't the platform you develop ON in that case. The issue is lack of a proper per-developer testing environment. The issue would be resolved with a copy of VirtualBox, Vagrant a

It's not a matter of "it's wrong to use X". It's a matter of "I don't want to spend my time working in Windows and dealing with all of the headaches and banging my head against a wall with the differing OS paradigms." True story. At my prev

Let me quite honest and say that if someone Agnes an employment contract, as a developer, that prevents them from writing unrelated code in their spare time or lays claim to any code written outside of the office, that person is an idiot. I

I actually was pretty fond of this: https://github.com/newsapps/beeswithmachineguns I don't remember how I came across it but it's the same concept: fire up a swarm of EC2 instances to pound the shit out of your site.

Sadly, these types of strategies don't work for me. I have to have an itch I need to scratch before I can really learn a programming language. Eventually when something annoys me enough to write code to deal with it, that's when I deep-dive

Wow. That was an amazing post. Having a penchant for ancient greek due to misplaced enthusiasm for seminary, I was seriously enthralled. I didn't realize I might have a latent typography fetish.

Oh now that'll be nice. Wonder if they'll let let me future import ;) I seem to recall some restrictions in how they implemented the VM for AppEngine.

Google only supports 2.5 for anything python related. Take a look at the python protobuf client: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=66&q=... Don't expect google to upgrade anytime soon.

Look at ohm and ohm-contrib on GitHub. That's an awesome layer for redis. Essentially they do what your describe which is use an additional keyspace for storing indices you want. It takes full advantage of the native redistribution datatype

Actually it's one limitation about CDMA that I hate. I would love to use one of the reverse lookup apps to get details about unknown callers but I can't because the operation of receiving the call means it can't simultaneously do the lookup

Talk and data at the same time isn't technologically possible on cdma. How do you figure they'll pull it off?

I'm not talking about local development. I'm talking about getting the running code on the server and deployed. Want to run X ruby gem or Y python module in your codebase? Better hope it works with the antiquated version of python or ruby o

What would be nice is if RVM allowed a package option for an installed Ruby + gemset. RVM doesn't work for me on my servers because it break idemopotence but I'd love to install RVM on a testbed, type 'rvm package' and get a tarball that I

And look where Python is on the various distributions. Behind. Constantly behind. The day a distro decides to use Ruby for system level stuff like they used python is the day that Ruby on that distro is DoA.

The ability to install multiple versions of the same gem are pretty much key to the migration path of any ruby app. Just because it doesn't fit in the package manager world of some (read: all) distributions is not the fault of Ruby. I can't

I'm approaching it from the business perspective. If sipport staff are getting calls for poor performance then the product isn't working. End of story. Business units don't care about shades of gray and degraded service. It's binary for the
