The thing that I've found that makes MongoDB super easy for folks migrating from SQL is that it is easy to add indexes to arbitrary fields, and they work the same way as they do in MySQL. It's just a b-tree and if you can setup MySQL indexe

It doesn't matter how many people are mining, coins are generated at a fixed rate. The difficulty to mine coins is varied automatically to assure this. It's this difficulty that affects miners when more folks start mining. In effect they ar

Noticing that on our TiVo as well. It drops off almost all of season 5, 6, and 7, with only 1-2 episodes from each for a total of 100 episodes total. Last I checked the TiVo guide wasn't updated with the info on Netflix availability, so I c

That's why I bring up the fragmentation issue. I actually found coffee to be very pleasant to use, and if it was more standard I would jump head first and never look back at JS, but as it is, I got very frustrated jumping back and forth, an

It just totally fragments the node developer community. Imagine the confusion when you're working with or contributing to two different libraries that have different indentation or documentation standards. Now make the language different, a

tmux is pretty amazing, I use it almost exclusively over screen or byobu. The only thing that beats it is iTerm2 on OS X in terms of ease of splitting, tabs, and ability to scroll each pane using mouse scroll wheel, etc.

I doubt it, most of these sites tend to be behind Akamai or some sort of similar CDN/reverse proxy network. This actually serves two purposes: 1) provides some security by sufficiently isolating the actual system from public access (it can

All these bitcoin articles are getting more than old. Here are some major issues I've been seeing with all of them: 1) Assigning some fixed dollar amount to coins for the purpose of demonstrations in the article. This will never happen, it'

Nice, I just hope it stays up to date and the creators can turn their energy towards long term maintenance unlike http://visualjquery.com/ . Visual jQuery used to be my go to resource for years, until it became woefully out of date.

Small nitpick, but Hudson was moved to Eclipse, not Jenkins. Jenkins is the community fork of Hudson.

If that's your concern, than you should provide fragments (as they are intended to use) within the list of 30 posts i.e: http://example.com/pages/1-3#2011-05-12-screw_hashbangs_buil... Otherwise your argument doesn't make much sense, link

Data structures. I could understand control flow, looping, etc, but until I took the time to understand data structures, I was always copying example code and trying to guess at what would work. You can self teach yourself alot by learning

Initial observations: 1) The user experience could use some work. The initial message that shows the login/pass info is volatile, and is gone after a page refresh. Not only that, but it's flat out wrong. (the username is 'admin') 2) Apparen

This is pretty much par for the course with 90% of the 'cloud' offerings out there. This is also true with various hosted application platforms where you can add a custom domain for your blog or whatever. There's just no way to ever rely on

I'm somewhat surprised it isn't further west. As a midwesterner turned west coast resident, I keep getting the feeling that there's more people here than there really are. It doesn't help that alot of the tech/hacker community is west coast

Absolutely. While I'm more on the 'information wants to be free' side of things, I'm not sure what the ethics are of borrowing from some other sites JS. If it's really just to learn then fine, but how much copy/paste before you're in need o

Sounds like supergenpass which was implemented in Javascript as a bookmarklet, which is pretty good idea, except that any website with malicious code could grab your master pass from the DOM, and then they could use that for your account on
