You can also figure out what foods (and quantities) make you less sleepy. I recently found out that rice works better for me than wheat based carbs.

I would love to use Redis in non-web apps. Sqlite and Tokyo Cabinet are great, but the data structures manipulation of Redis feel much more familiar to coding, even without a data mapper.

Maybe the Redis codebase is too closely tied to the fact that the complete db has to be loaded in memory?

This is extremely cool. And I had no idea that was possible. They never show the actual needle in this article, but here's a video of playing a vinyl by holding a sewing needle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LpMmt4V14g

I just discovered this through a mailing sent by ngmoco to developers. While Mobage is not specially interesting to me, I'm definitely captivated by the technical approach. Sadly we can't look at the code. Having an engine where the platfor

It's a shame that this hack is necessary; it would have been so easy for the language designer to simply declare that any tab characters used as indentation result in a syntax error then someone else would say that it's a shame that TABS

Interesting, thanks! But here is it's baked in (like appengine). Isn't the point of PAAS like these to let someone else worry about the sysadmining?

Duostack automatically manages horizontal scaling of your app and vertical scaling of your database. Auto-scaling is a killer feature, platforms like Heroku or DotCloud do not support this. Can someone explain how this will work, and the

If this was their main business model, maybe Adobe would focus on quality vs quantity? this urgency to add new features and force users to purchase more sluggish versions after each OS upgrade is not doing it for me. Fireworks used to be an

An important part of spending time with “weird” languages is to acclimate yourself to seeing syntax as the least important battle you face; the broader ideas are always more important, in my view, than the low-level syntax. This article i

Seriously, dude, nobody is out to get you. I'm glad you made Pow. Pow looks awesome. I don't control what gets voted to the top of the page, and I'm probably no happier than you are about the sprawling nerdwar that resulted. Seriously, du

Thanks for building and sharing it. By the way, I didn't completely understand why I would use it instead of Thin until I had it running and had read http://pow.cx/manual.html . Maybe the mechanism I described in the first paragraph of the

I love this. You simply create a symlink to your app, and boom, the app works at nameofthesymlink.dev. Even after a system restart . And pow is clever enough to only start workers if the app is accessed and shut them down when idle. This i

+1, I'd like to know that. In the meantime, you can access a new app the first time by entering http://myapp.dev (including the http:// ). Looks like after that, Chrome treats myapp.dev as desired.

Fixed with restarting my machine. And it's worth it.

But should Redis really be part of that list? I feel like the strongest point of Redis is that it realistically allows devs to forget about any complex relational models living outside of the code logic, like the ones referred in the articl

No idea. But crossing this with the "Member Since" date is stunning. I did a quick lookup for three accounts off the top of my head: 03/2008: ~2700 04/2008: ~8800 02/2011: ~627600

since you're familiar with the topic, does this look lightweight enough for say, mobile applications, or does it require massive processing power?

Are there any definitive resources to understand how Rails uses metaprogramming? I once failed in an attempt to understand the scope of metaprogramming in Ruby by searching for information in the pickaxe book (but gave up way too soon to be

The table of contents is impressive. Looks like a good pick even for moderately experienced developers, interested in taking Sinatra to the next level. Has anyone built working apps using this guide?

tptacek, are you claiming you are aware of critical vulnerabilities in Redis?

Incomplete picture, but a nice approach to help developers understand which database (from the NoSQL jungle) fit their tastes and requirements. My NoSQL knowledge is very limited and I'd love to see more databases from this list under the s
