On several of my modern projects, there's not a single piece of static data that can't be cached forever in a CDN. That's because server-side code is not getting really good at managing the initial build of static assets and the delivery of

Regarding Django and staticfiles; Rightly so, because they're not ready for production and being taken over my the CDN. You need to sprinkle some django_compressor on it first but still that doesn't get the cache headers perfectly right. Or

The point was that; what difference does it make if Apache/Nginx is better when it's only doing it once. Or, more specifically, once per revision of the code.

Is Nginx obsolete now that we have Amazon CloudFront?(peterbe.com)

I've added it to marketJS. I hope I did it right. Great website by the way!

I admit. I haven't thought much about this. Because I'm weak on marketing I have to use the product as my weapon by making it really good. How about, the people who play Angry Birds as a target audience.

Have you tried the tutorial? The purpose of it is to give you a preview of how you earn so that you can do that yourself from there on.

Good point but... What? So far, the only skill is to know stuff and know it quickly. I was thinking about somehow incorporating that you race against other players somehow. Then, somehow you could use strategy to try to be smart and swift o

I would love to build something with PhoneGap or something similar. Just limited time. Building something like that would mean having to more or less re-write the backend as a front-end data store. In fact, there is a mobile responsive desi

Avatar? Could do, but it might feel weird since there are no other avatars to interact with. Here's an idea: You start out as an avatar of someone looking shabby and poor. Like, broken shoes and dirty t-shirt. As you progress you start look

The game starts with the tutorial. You answer three really simple questions and they all give out lots of coins. So, very soon you're on your way somewhere with your coins. I am working on a "Awards" feature. What I think I will do then is

It's not a bad idea. It can be more than one item. For example, 5 sacred jewels or something. However, I want the game to be quite open-ended too and it's hard to explain a goal like that.

That's inspiration for this! I loved that game. I thought I'll try to replicate some of that but add a web spin to it.

Target market: Everyone who enjoys wasting time on the interweb. Why? Games become more fun if you manage to get yourself (emotionally and time-wise) involved. I'm aware that "addicted" has negative connotations; like a "drug addict".

Having reached out like this, it turns out that a number of people have hit bugs. I've received all tracebacks by email and will work on it this weekend. Thanks for your patience!

People who try it like and have fun. However, they don't seem to get hooked and unable to stop. Technically the game is shaping up nicely but it needs a gamer's psychology brains to make it more fun and addictive. Please help.

Well done 10gen peeps! Keep up the good work. You deserve all the credit you can get. There's still a lot of work to do to catch up with established RDBMSes but you're definitely getting a bunch of things right already today.

I use MongoDB and to do that I use MongoKit. Works really well. I also use Redis for the caching (note: not as a database) For both Mongo and Redis I use the sync libraries. So far, I don't have any slow queries that would require me to as

The search input box is long and it's not clear if you can but when the input box is long I suspect that I can type multiple words. I'd love to be able to write "fox or news" or "fox news or paper"
