If you are on call/scheduled for the deployment you may be required from time to time to come online and deploy in off-peak times. This type of maintenance should be extremely rare - in that it requires making your service entirely un

Swift should theoretically deliver faster apps with less message passing overall and other big improvements. At the end of the day the latest phones need to keep up with competitors and added features and resimplified experiences that are m

Pretty sure Snow Leopard was a release aimed at doing just that, rewriting a lot of the core system libraries for x86_64 and also clearing house on a lot of old cruft. No new real features were delivered with the release.

Well this is rather upsetting, it seems extensions still cannot add stored properties... Back to using objc_setassociatedobject and objc_getassociatedobject it seems for extension properties, sadface. Also seems you can't override exi

I use a really simple spreadsheet to handle this backlog for my small dev team, it allows us to select the really critical things to work on for a sprint as we can sort the backlog depending on what is happening that month by weighting diff

The main thing that comes to mind is why they do not deploy these kind of changes to a small slice and smoke test the slice before deploying to all users? This seems to be a pretty common routine for services at scale nowdays...?

That may be true, but it will not be until you descend the stack you start to code like someone who understands what they are doing. For instance I started off with PHP in high school and was using arrays with each entry as a string with a

Will be interesting to see the difference in how Go and Nodejs grow considering the module system and time of reaching popularity will be similar

This was one of the most interesting things the post detailed for myself, makes so much sense - we do a substantial amount of allocs and reads for NSDecimalNumbers, etc in our payment based app and I can imagine the heap savings and mem wri

The Dropbox integration may very well make it that easy, simply drop into your Dropbox folder and hey presto. Although waiting for it to sync to AWS might be painful, I wonder if the iOS and Android clients do local syncing like the desktop

I agree, the whole post seems to be written by someone writing a sad and sullen reflection of their last decade or two. I think having a mix of both startups and high profile tech companies in one's CV is great backing to do your own startu

I agree with the article to some extent, however I do feel like a lot of people find if they don't have something to tinker with on the side get incredibly bored. I know I like many others need variety in the types of stimuli I find in my

I'd be really interested in seeing if you benchmarked fsync at every query vs your fsync every second policy. My main beef with fsync every second is just that you will never, ever get a "this is what the server looked like when it went dow

Giving more "engineering" tools to devs is finally getting more attention which is awesome. I'd love to use this kind of tech but don't want to move source repository host and also want something that would work with my stack and intricatel

Does this execute domready as a headless browser or is this just parsing the markup directly into a DOM tree? I'm sure there will be a few sites that this won't be reflected accurately just because a lot of the content might not be there un

What's to stop people visiting the demo page and copying the markup, stylesheets and JS? I guess $10 is less valuable than your time of 1hr writing the equivalent but I'm also sure you'd have to invest time to customize the deck anyhow to m

Looks similar to what Kue http://learnboost.github.com/kue/ already does. I wish node had less fragmentation and more consolidation on these types of libraries/frameworks. Nice article breaking down the features and patterns of queue/tas
