Since postgres has basic json type support now, and PL/Javascript exists, it's only a matter of time until an extension appears that lets you deploy javascript applications directly to the database. Who needs CouchDB or Node.js when you can

If your options (1 option = chance to buy 1 share, at a price that's typically fixed when the options was issued) vest over a three year period, it means you would be issued 1/(12*3) of your total options per month, for three years. A commo

I just bought my ticket for this. Don't think I've ever stayed in a tent that has gigabit internet before, should be interesting. The list of talks and workshops is diverse. See some of you there.

Looks nice, but there's no way I'd run a closed source binary only server as a critical piece of infrastructure like this. Planning on selling licenses I suppose? I would have loved to have a poke around in the erlang server code. Cowboy/ra

Those graphs are absolutely vile. I kept wondering how anyone who chooses hard-to-read shonky 3d bar charts like that could possibly perform a decent statistical analysis.

It's not that simple. Could have been a convertible loan, which defers setting a valuation.

Signed up; around 40% of pictures in my feed are photos of cups of coffee. Is this normal?

Yep i use watch as bookmark, and as such the feed is useless. There needs to be a Star/Fav thing, and leave watching for important stuff. I've often wanted to write and broadcast a note or short msg (not a commit), that is deemed more impor

I have a (mostly working, neglected) implementation of SPDYv2 in erlang (github.com/RJ/erlang-spdy). I've been following the mailing list about the v3 spec. Notable differences if you are updating a spdy library: * various fields changed si

an equally amusing solution is to just turn off fsync - DB calls should speed up, and data is buffered by the kernel before being written to disk, instead of in the app.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable discussions about cross-origin requests, same-origin policy and all that jazz. Having implemented SPDY/2, they could do a lot worse than just ratifying SPDY (v3 by now..) and perhaps clarify some of the

I like go and erlang, but the title is a troll.. Nowhere in the presentation does it compare the pros and cons of the go approach to how erlang does things. Sometimes selective receive with erlang's pattern matching is really useful. How ab

Yep, they undid the crazy 8 bytes of body that wasn't declared by content-length, back in hixie-76. The current protocols play nicely with HTTP aware proxies now. They introduced plenty of other crazy things.. but at least it works with pro

This is just one reason that providing a good, robust API is so important: people will just page-scrape. In the early days of audioscrobbler/last.fm, I added comments to the HTML of our pages, asking people who were writing scrapers to get

I think I have more KDE code on my computer than GNU code. Both are undeniably useful, but no one is insisting on calling it KDE/Linux.
