Given the inherently small foot print of Redis, your data sets are HUGE. Looking forward to reading the Mongo article when it is ready and how it is performing.

For 4 years I tried to run my WordPress site off of Apache + PHP. For the first 3 years it was Apache+Prefork+mod_php+WordPress (default setup for any on RedHat-based or Debian-based setups for the longest time). Any time I would get a stor

I wonder how many people got up in arms when they saw the "Monsanto" and thought a patent-hoarding Satan was running around Wikipedia erasing programming language articles. This wasn't really a valuable comment, but I couldn't help it.

Whenever there is a new web framework released there is the requisite number of people that role their eyes and say "why?" I love the fact that folks are still innovations and trying different patterns and approaches, even if that means fou

I thought building of the straw man of "people use Notepad" was slightly inaccurate and unnecessary - the software looks very slick on its own. Yes Basecamp and nameless other pieces of software might already do this, but you could argue th

Did some hunting for a good jQuery upload plugin a week ago for (self promotion warning) imgscalr.com. valums ajax-upload seemed like it would be the best fit, but I couldn't get a full-screen Drag and Drop target working and had a hard (im

Thanks for reposting - I hadn't caught it the first time through and thought it was a good read. Started off easy enough (loved the simplification), but as soon as we got to SHA-1 snapshot names and "Rewriting History" with the redoing of s

The article isn't buried in numbers, but the message is in there: don't stop adding value. I've been a WooThemes customer for 3 years or so. I have bought 10 or 12 of their themes and the one reason I do it is because they never stop updati

Have always wondered what tracking these types of things would reveal in my life; love that you took the time to make this happen. Would be more than happy to purchase your app to reward your courage in jumping ship and working on this. Kee

Agreed. Google shared with us early last year that the revenue split on Adsense is 68% ( http://adsense.blogspot.com/2010/05/adsense-revenue-share.ht... ) - meaning you keep 68% of what they are paid to run the ad and they keep 32%. You can

Noticed that as well; about half way through he introduces the thermo-dynamics issue and the implied (but useless) truth-ly-ness of fat people eating more than non-fat people, then spends the entire remainder of the article stating, re-stat

Was it hard writing this comment while waving your arms so wildly about? How about some of your own facts/links/corrections showing where he "clearly doesn't know what he's talking about".

+1 to the Play! Framework; as someone who did Struts/Java EE 5/EJB3 for a long time, not needing descriptors all over has been awesome. From reading this thread I see Java doesn't get much love, but for us poor saps that spent 10 years usin

I absolutely agree there. They have this policy of doing admin work for free as long as it takes less than 30 mins -- and I've never asked for a fix that took longer than 30 mins, these guys are quick. Everything from debugging connection i

rory, you got so hung up on my reference to drug that you decided to ignore the point. The paragraph "Like, I'm uncertain if he's saying..." neither of those summaries were what I was saying. I re-read the article twice to see if I was mis-

tomjen3, That kind of thinking turns too easily into "Well, if my 1 act of kindness can't change enough, why start". It all matters.

gkoberger, You have compassion for the human condition and an ability to put yourself in other people's shoes. That is a skill that is lost so easily today. I don't know that many people that still can do this. As expected, lionhearted's mo

zbanks, Interesting point, and that might explain why sites like HN and reddit (primarily technical and occasionally quirky) are still maintaining relatively high quality content. I suppose it's the jack of all, master of none curse. I woul
