Pros/cons to consider in a few contexts: * Custom domains - if you ever want to allow custom domains (ala Tumblr, Posterous, etc), it's probably easier to go w/ subdomains. The URL recognition will be much easier. * Security - if you ever

"..failed enhancement of a new approach to timeline caching" I hope this is not a testament to scalability of Cassandra or Redis. Ref: http://engineering.twitter.com/2010/02/link-cassandra-at-twi... http://github.com/twitter/haplocheirus

From the beginning, I thought Brian's and Gizmodo's best defense would be to say "We collaborated to try to find the owner through a large platform." How well that will work with "$5k for exclusive access" is questionable.

Based on how blatant these "leaks" are getting, I'd say that Apple PR cooked this leeway into the NDA to elevate buzz. Another example from 24 director of photography: http://twitter.com/rodneykiwi/status/8243364709 Everyone is saying "it

This works even cooler when you want to minify your code: MyLongClassName = function() {}; function(_c) { _c.prototype.method1 = ...; _c.prototype.method2 = ...; }(MyLongClassName); This allows something like YUI compressor to shorten _

Not sure why everyone thinks that Starbucks is taking this step from a position of weakness. As far as business is concerned, I think it's a good strategic move for them to explore this growth channel regardless of their brand's strength.

RAID helps if disk is the bottleneck. If it's the network (EBS is network attached), then you're SOL and should probably try a bigger instance instead and hope fewer people share that physical host.

Yep. Every developer/company that attaches itself to a larger platform (Apple Appstore, Facebook, etc) needs to ask "What would I do in the future if I were <platform company>?" and then build a strategy to account for that. Company
