There are some new exchanges that will probably take a share of the market. One of the more promising ones is tradehill.com. They offer a nicely polished interface, offer dwolla payments/withdrawls and have a "viral" component by giving a 1

I know that waiters in the US rely on tips, but I think it's unprofessional to deliver bad service just because they think that they won't get a good tip. Which is strange considering that people tip for good/professional service. Maybe the

I always find it annoying that you can't really restrict MongoDBs memory consumption. I'd love to run it alongside a ElasticSearch process and a small redis server on a machine, but while I can limit ElasticSearch and I could theoretically

>3- We got a 25% memory/storage reduction by shrinking our field names. YMMV. I knew how data was stored, but I didn't know what amount we would specifically save :P I really wish they just had an internal lookup table to do that. I don

I think that's the main point is that he created an app that was probably declined because it used private APIs (or required root access?). Also: he produced the first public implementation of what? A wireless syncing software? iSync on OSX

ok, that would still lead to a situation where my server crawls to a halt for hours and might never finish if I don't basically take it offline :(

does "auto compaction" mean that the compaction process is just automatically triggered?

I wish CouchDB would implement internal compaction. I'd love to use CouchDB and Elastic Search with the CouchDB River plugin. This would give me a nice REST infrastructure with a schemaless store (couchDB) and the ability to do complex qu

I always had the impression that people that say they 'hate Java', usually don't hate "Java: the language". Most people that dislike programming in Java have a negative sentiment because of: - the usage of XML (or now: annotations) to confi

I noticed OpenCL performance for bitcoin miners improve a lot (about 15%) when switching from Snow Leopard to the Lion Dev Seed. No real explanation, just an observation.

I decided to go paper-free a while ago too and I went for the cheap solution: I went for the the canon pixma mx340 (ref link: http://amzn.to/j2hNRZ , non ref link: http://amzn.to/k27SoI ) and couldn't be happier. I can scan over wifi on

I agree, another way of phrasing this would be: - XML is for documents - JSON is for data-structures Both of them do a great job in their domain, but you shouldn't try to mix them up and store data-strctures in XML or Documents in JSON

I used it a few years ago when it first came up. The concept is great. I'm not sure about the idea of attaching it to Azureus when most of the network protocol seems to be new-ish. The choice of using Java also for the "community server" wi

We actually have a show like that in Germany... It's mostly the same basics over and over again (cut the cigaretes, no Pay TV, Why do you have 4 Cell phone contracts, ...). It could very well be scripted though. Maybe I'll remember the name

Oh wow, I remember when fettemama.org was a really questionable blog back in the day (NSFW: http://web.archive.org/web/20080910005654/http://www.fettema... ). I guess we all grow up and start hacking our own blogging software in Go :)

put.io also supports "ftp’s, direct download links, many paysite links, basic http authenticated links" ( http://put.io/features ). So I guess fetch.io has less features :)

Isn't it still programms that the user explicitly has to install? If normal users keep their random application installing limited to the app store they should be fine. If you DO install "video players" from porn sites or download stuff off

It's the same model that Tokyo/Kyoto Cabinet uses. The difference is that Tokyo/Kyoto Tyrant is an available network interface :)

It doesn't seem to have a network interface. It is somewhat comparable to InnoDB or Tokyo/Kyoto Cabinet
