Is this a remote proxy to a local database? API-oriented development may be a flexible model, but how does this yield acceptable performance?

Oh, Wired... This article does not cover audio files at all, and there's a single passing mention of MP3 players. It's a rambling history of a company that markets to the "audiophile" gadget crowd. Reads like straight PR.

Accurate results for technical topics brought me to Google, and all the extra query formatting that's required these days is somewhat irritating. Another peeve is that the search box on the results page (with Instant disabled) routinely dro

As someone running 5 server processes in development for one project, this hugely simplifies all the terminal juggling on my local box, and centralizes the associated commands as part of the codebase. It's a little like a "bundler for proce

It's an amusing idea, but I'm not sure how interesting this is without a performance history or measures against similar automated predictions.

I came here to say this too. Other headphones have come and gone, but I always have a pair of MDR-7506 around. They are incredibly sturdy and well designed, and while they may shape the sound slightly, are very detailed (including decent ba

I can confirm that Paperclip does work with Rails 3. Some recent merges and updates broke it for awhile, but I think things are back to normal now. (If not, a pre-March fork of the rails3 branch will do in a pinch.)

I think at the most basic level the "installation" process simply sets up shortcuts to existing web apps in Google Chrome. There's the ability to install serverless (static file based) things too; the example given is browser-based games.

More documentation on Unicorn is always nice, since it feels a little sparse in places, and sometimes I'm left wondering whether I've overlooked something in my production setup. Could have used a little more discussion on signals (e.g. USR

I use chef for about 10-15 slicehost nodes at work (in production for about 3 months now). It's worked well thus far but requires writing some bootstrap scripts for installing chef on a fresh instance and a fair amount of diving into the DS

I really liked the idea of Facebook Lite, but it always felt significantly slower, and content was often quite stale, rendering a product that seemed awkward to use and possibly even incomplete. This eventually drove me back to regular Face

I don't use my real name on facebook either, and I know many other folks who do the same. Indeed, I might prefer to use my real name on NewsTilt but NOT facebook. As with many of the login complaints, this is probably only an issue for a sm

Yep, keyword bookmarks have had a significant impact on the way I search with a web browser. Their use eliminates the layer of complexity of visiting search hub services (like DuckDuckGo or YubNub) and feels more responsive than using a sep

Exact correctness aside, I call solo artists "bands" just to keep things simple. In Aphex Twin's case, he makes it pretty clear that he's just one feller, so I didn't realize it was a common misconception. There are plenty of other similar
