Thank you for the answer. Did you ever do or would it be possible for you to do a benchmark on relatively large corpus of how fast can you count, say 10 million words? Or 100 million? I'm really curious about how well does this method work

The graph on main page of MapRejuice shows ~300 jobs per minute. What is "a job"? Is it one iteration of "map" or "reduce"? So, if we are to assume you're doing word count - can you count up to 300 words per minute? On 6.5M visitors site?

Yes, but that actually proves the point. I don't mean that it actually costs banks $2 to handle a transaction. It's what they charge small businesses for a transaction. If you're Apple and can negotiate a 5cent (or whatever) fee per transac

You could easily pay 2$ per transaction + % of the revenue to credit card processor. So, 2$ price tag = 0$ profit, or even loss. Also it's probably about 8 times simpler to get one $15/month subscriber than eight $2/month subscribers. It's

There was literally a flood of those in Russia about a year ago, whole Russian Internet was filled with ads about those. It's nothing, seriously, it might affect in some way some of more impressionable people with self-induced hypnosis ("th

Actually, I think they could get traction, but for that to happen that would need to release an API to check if user "donated" to my blog/service/etc. Therefore I can create a "premium" zone accessible for a smallest fee ever. That would cr

I'm assuming most compilers don't ship nasm/masm/whatever with them. How do compilers do actual "assembly to executable" step?

Its really unclear what are you trying to achieve. My wild guess would be you're trying to build a Markov chain generator (generation of random texts from sample base text). Other than that, here are unclear parts: "to a hierarchy of patte

Here's the stats from Russian search engine Yandex of "java" query. Compare "absolute" version ( http://wordstat.yandex.ru/?scmd=abs&cmd=months&text=... ) with "relative" one ( http://wordstat.yandex.ru/?scmd=rel&cmd=months&

Use non-blocking IO, like PyCurl.Multi interface (or any other Curl.Multi bindings). You'd have to generate DELETE cmmand URLs to call from some S3 library, the rest is up to Curl (to call those URL). It's not a trivial task, but reasonably

Good to see the project developing. Now it's quite pleasant to work with, instead of Java's version. Have you ever considered TinyCC for backend instead of gcc? It's quite slow to compile. "Hello, World" takes 4+ seconds to compile.

CQuery is directly colliding with Yahoo's YQL ( http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/ , look for "CSS Selectors"), which was there loooooong before cquery.com was even registered. Idea about "tracking changes on pages" was there for ages. For ex.

This may be a dumb question, but I really can't imagine. What reasonable real-world process would need more than 1400 HTTP connections per second (which is the worst performer) on a single process and single server?..

2 vs 6 orders doesn't seem like enough. There are people in affiliate programs that don't change anything and yet one day they have 20 orders and 0 the next day. It seems like something doesn't work, but it's back to normal next day - just

Not "adds", but "provisions". Personally I provision instances for less than 1 hour, which would still increment server ID that was used for analysis in the article. Also "instance" != "server". 1 server = "x" instances, which might be prov

Just a heads up for guys that are new to this: seeing that this is scraping - you can get your IP blocked from Google.

(..as a user of GMail) What's that "spam" thing I keep hearing about? I really wish Google could share their spam filters with the rest of the world. I hardly see any spam.
