Actually regarding Judah's defeat from the inhabitants with the iron chariots, it was because they were afraid of them and not trusting God (see Judges 2:1-3). They did defeat them latter on (Judges 4:3,15)

I find the auto-correct to be over-zealous. If DDG decides that what I've entered is a typo, It will only show me results for the "corrected" word, so I'll have to quote uncommonly searched words. This usually happens wh

I found these two papers very eye-opening. They talk about the limitations of reductionism in science. P.W. Anderson, "More is different", https://www.tkm.kit.edu/downloads/TKM1_2011_more_is_differen... R. B.

Part of the problem was due to the Django package we used to interface with the Postgres search, it wasn't designed to handle large tables. I don't recall how long the index took to build (hours? a day?), but the queries themselve

At least for our use case Postgres full text search wasn't good enough. Indexing and searching 1M records was troublesome, and its advanced queries weren't as flexible as we'd like, so after a while we started using Solr, and

I like Prometeus.Net, they have good prices and great support. In particular, their XenPower ( http://xenpower.com/ ) line is hard to beat.

I tried many times to uncheck all the checkboxes to convince LinkedIn not to send me email, but they ignore them or create new ones, so now I just mark them as spam.

I like it, and I think I'm going to use this in some of my sites. Just a minor correction though: You should add the tag rel="nofollow" to the links so that the search engines won't accidentally follow them.

Actually I think programming is profitable because of two things: * Not everyone can program * Of those that could program, only a small part of them *want* to program The combination of these two conditions limits the availabi

Exactly. I purchased the 1.5 ebook version, and was also going to buy this one if it was priced reasonably, but won't bother buying the paper version.

The point is not about avoiding SQLite when it makes sense to use it, but to have the same DB in the development and production environment. SQLite is much more permissive than, say, Postgres, and these differences mean that bugs could go u

Not quite. One thing that is easy to miss is that "more is different" [1], that is, although we might understand the elementary components of a system, when these interact in a large number new phenomena can emerge (e.g. phase tra

Seconded. They are a bit more expensive, but to me it's worth it. On the negative side their control panel is subpar, but there are tutorials to side-step that.

I don't regard the lack of practical multithreading as a problem. We routinely use multiprocessing and IPC via queues for parallelism, and for me the main limitation is Python's excessive memory use: even atomic data types are obj

One thing I cannot stand is that google tracks links in my email. It's one thing to track links in the search results, another very different thing to track links in messages, which to me is unacceptable.

Well one could argue the world is quantum, so that would give you lots of examples! But more to the point: * The colors you can see on a puddle of water with a bit of oil on it is due to interference [1] * Certain butterflies wings colors a

They also clearly missed the internet revolution, but managed to recover. Big companies have trouble adapting to new paradigms, but it's not impossible for them to do it, especially when they have so many resources at their disposal.

We use Sendy [1], because it makes using Amazon Simple Email Services (SES) easy and it's much cheaper than competing services. There are a few free software alternatives to Sendy to use Amazon SES, but it's inexpensive enough no

It seems that too many times I have to install a plugin to revert some design decision I don't like. This sounds like one of those times.

As a developer, I recommend that you read "The Non-Designer's Design Book" by Robin Williams. It teaches design fundamentals, and it made me much more aware of the principles of good design, and I think it would be a good starting point.

I prefer RIES [1], that does pretty much the same thing. You can download its source code (C, GPL licensed) [2] or try it on the webpage. Oblig. (relevant) xkcd [3]. [1] http://mrob.com/pub/ries/index.html [2] http://mrob.com/pub/ries/sr
