Good advertising should benefit both the advertiser and the advertisee. The biggest problem that I have with Google's targeted ads is that my interests are apparently so narrow that I just see the same ads for Stormpath and Pentaho ov

The thing that lets people create 1200 calorie monstrosities is what makes Chipotle my favorite fast food chain. No matter whether I'm trying to add or cut weight I always know that I can tailor a Chipotle meal exactly to my caloric &

Yeah as the article mentions, Basque cider is totally different from Woodchuck or even the drier brands that you get in the US. The only time I've seen it Stateside is at a Basque restaurant here in NYC (Euzkadi).

Security is a matter of layers, like an onion, it's not just an either-or. Any sensible database or database-like software does not come with authentication disabled by default. Yes, your DB should be behind a firewall, but if RedHat

I love Postgres but its support for sharding, multi-master, and most forms of scaling that aren't just "buy a bigger box" is still way behind most of the NoSQL solutions. Lots of use cases don't need that kinds of scalab

That's a bit misleading. Each of the teams are a for-profit enterprise and pay taxes on the huge amount of money they bring in.

This sounds exactly like what SheetJS does. Where are the gaps between what patio posted about and what you are asking for? Just the JSON output and working as a service part?

I only go to London on business travel so price isn't as big of a deal but I take the Heathrow Express for time purposes. In morning traffic after the red eye from NYC it's much faster than either a cab or the tube.

You should try to figure out why you make the decision to pick up the penny even though you know it's "irrational". Is it because you think pennies are good luck? Do you like having a penny in your pocket to mindlessly play
