Just because somebody can make a 3D animation of something doesn't mean that they can build it. I know it's a "concept", but so is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE4Wn0cjrO4 (German, but video speaks for itself)

It wasn't my reply, I just thought it was an interesting one. The original post lists a lot of samples, the reply adds some more information to those, the "reply" moves this into almost to an argumentum ad hominem. I'm just saying that it w

No, I'm happy to believe you. It just seems that assumptions like the "the code doesn’t check to see if the destroy action is called by an HTTP POST or not." are incorrect and still in the post. There also isn't a proper answer to that co

Please read the whole comment I linked to. I was talking about things like the OP saying that browsers could delete things by prefetching (GET requests) or that update_attributes does a double assignment which are simply not true

After reading the article, also read this comment: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/09/22/security-lessons-learned... The comment negates some of the statements made in the post

What I really like about PostgreSQL compared to e.g. MySQL is the support for partial indexes ( http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/indexes-partial.ht... ). Especially when keeping normalized data, it allows the easy creation of an in

Because the US spends so much money on production value that we can't compete and just dub stuff. While these dubs are really high quality, I personally find awful to watch them since a lot of jokes or puns get lost in translation :(

For us in Germany, these "more teaching, less research" universities are actually a separate kind of institution. While "regular" universities are mostly research oriented, "universities of applied sciences" have only a small bit of a profe

In my benchmarks, hpricot has a better performance for simple link extraction (and regexp has an even higher one :D)

I always am annoyed when I read that CouchDB can "scale up and down". CouchDB has NO internal concept of sharding. The only thing it can do is repliaction. Riak and Cassandra can actually scale up and down, CouchDB can scale up and down a

Finally somebody using JFS... I could never figure out why you read so little about the filesystem. Seems to be fast, mature and not all that CPU intensive. I also wonder why they're not using something like gluster fs to replicate data o

Riak e.g. does also have a REST interface ( https://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/REST+API ). Could you elaborate what else ist part of the "full stack app dev"? Futon? p.s. please don't use "Rails" when you mean "Ruby". Kittens are dying e

I have no idea why they don't use something dynamo based like Riak or Cassandra which actually can automatically shard data and scale really well... CouchDB only supports replication, no sharding unless you use third party libraries.

Well, it is true for at least some of the states. For the other ones (I'm in Baden-Württemberg), it's usually 500 Euros + 1xx Euros of fees per semester. Also: I recently read an article (sorry, no link) about student loans in Germany.

The question is if those startups are willing to pay in relation to the hours they want (and I don't think one should keep this relation at a linear scale)

That's the advantage of having a hosted solution.But from a technical standpoint, wouldn't that work with e.g. Riak too?

Isn't it a bit of an overkill to basically add a dynamo layer to couchdb? The only thing that made CouchDB separate from most other document stores are the incrementally generate views and maybe the MVCC append-only approach or the REST i
