Cool efforts so far. I can see the use case for wanting to find information across multiple sites. Couple feedback points. 1 - the ui in your screenshot on the home page ( https://recalll.co/theme/flat/img/sea

Curious, is the: SELECT DISTINCT(email) FROM parent; The actual query you run in production, or similar enough? That could be a very expensive query with a very large amount of rows, even if indexed. (Large, being in the multi mill

Which is most of them that have enough traffic/data to need this tool in the first place. MySQL generally tends to perform badly at massive scale with foreign keys. (i.e., when your doing 30k queries/second)

True. But it's sunny. You cruise down the road on your bike, feel the breeze from moving in the air, and we have a lot of bike paths too. I commute most days, usually several miles. The only time I prefer car or train is when its ra

Your comment and the parent comment are exactly how I feel. I've now lived here for almost 15 years. I've traveled all over the world, and LA is still my favorite city of them all. It's a cruel mistress one day. And a wondr

Oh surely he will be fine. You would be a fool if you did as well as they did now, and ended up in really dire straights on a personal level. Having said that, I agree. It was likely a huge mistake to turn that down. FB has whats app, and

Agreed. If you are going to be a healthy (to yourself) consultant, you have to learn the art of saying no. I used to be very paranoid about saying no. I actually recall the first time I did. I was running very low on sleep, and had been

This is cool. I have been through the pain of removing UDID from a large production application. So on the surface this seems like a great idea. Has anyone read the decisions surrounding apple's desire for people to not use a UDID? I

The author touches on a lot of reasons I think go continues to be used. For me, its the simplicity really. This ultimate simplicity, and encouraging programmers to write simple code (sometimes, I know, at the cost of having more tedious co

And, Nespresso usually fixes all problems for free. After all, they are in the coffee business just as equally or more than the coffee machine business. They have absolutely satisfying customer service skills.

Where I live, Nespresso makes a superior experience than I can find within a 3 mile radius. (fwiw, Los Angeles) Yes, if I go to my absolute favorite coffee shop in town, it is superior to Nespresso. But, in comparison to instant coffee (in

This was a great read, really enjoyed it. I am a big fan of Nespresso. It saves me a lot of time, a little money, and consistently provides (for my tastebuds) better coffee than I can get within a 3 mile radius of where I live. (somewhere

Very cool. Going to try to learn some basics this weekend! Exciting times watching (from a spectators points of view) the evolution of Rust to this point. Sounds like more exciting times ahead.

This is cool. Curious what the advantages over something like systemd-nspawn? Just easier time setting it up? Also, ubuntu has a project called JuJu. Could be confusing I supposed. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juj

Yeah, or even before scrubber, just a way to tell how far through the track you are. But scrubber would work well too. Logging in would be cool, or someway to see what would be in my feed. Often I start my day just playing my feed on SC t

There is a time when I would have agreed more heavily with this article. However, I have grown up a bit. If your not enjoying your job, find a different one. Yes, there is parts of the job to dislike. But its possible to arrange yourself

This is great. It runs noticeably smoother than the SC main website. I could see myself using this when I'm listening to SC in the background while I am working. Would be great if there was a basic way to see what percentage or time

It depends how you frame the time in question. Is this 4 hours and 30 minutes of heads down, in the zone, productive work? Or is it a mixture of emails, conference calls, and coding? In my experience managing and being part of various teams

It takes experience, experimentation, and what works for one team or individual, may need to be altered to work for another team or individual. I like to break up tasks into what I hope is achievable in 4 hours. Always assign yourself as m

If you have spent six months, is that just occasionally tinkering and reading things online, or actually using it fairly regularly? If you have developed software in go, and after a couple months you aren't finding its saving you time,
