Having more MongoDB-specific technical info might be a call-to-arms for other MongoDBAs who might offer their ideas/thoughts. You could also use that as a hiring/scouting opportunity. Does 4sq have an engineering blog?

What kind of projects would you be most interested in? We're open-sourcing RetroCrawl ( http://retrocrawl.com ) if you might be interested. I know Prenup ( http://github.com/nodejitsu/prenup ) will probably want help but they're not direc

Sounds right, we watched the video and Schell actually says social games "probably" make more money from lead generation. Thanks for the links, Teej. I was really curious about that.

They're probably running 1+ Mongod process/node per core - not exactly ideal though.

Call them, tell them what you're making, and ask for a sample. If it doesn't work, "adjust" your story. Most suppliers will gladly ship out a sample if it is likely that you would buy in bulk in the future. Some will gladly ship to hobby

http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Use+Cases The author's project requirements list transaction support. Meanwhile, MongoDB explicitly mentions it is not suited for transactional systems. I agree, he needed an SQL db from the beginning.

That only works while your cursor is inside the browser window though. Outside the browser, it stops following you.

I think that he blogs internally a lot @ Google. But he might have quit that too, IDK.

+1. It's interesting to see it in this form; otherwise, you could miss interesting opportunities that aren't in your local area. I referred one non-local (WRT to me) person to an interesting post because of that.

I liked the "drop privileges in Python for Tornado apps" article more. But even then, you would want to chroot/jail the user for more control over permissions.

The thesis of the article is that treating children as special without them first working hard to deserve or earn it leads to narcissism. The example of Mr Rogers is added for sensationalism. A similar message might be found in other count

Writes are saved to an in-memory table first and are burst to disk asynchronously. But, when the burst happens, the writes to disk are sequential - this is key. No reads to the disk are done before writes (which occurs in MySQL).

Does anyone know if there will be hosted videos at some point? I'm not able to watch the live streams :(.

We'd love to host you at ElusiveHippo.com - it's like Heroku for nodejs apps. Email me at van@elusivehippo.com and I can set you up with a beta account.

If they had more money, they could try to buy up Heroku or ElusiveHippo. MediaTemple is the new SourceForge.

After being a long-time python guy, even with this syntactic sugar, I still find the node.js asynchronous callback paradigm to be more elegant. But Swirl is a lot cleaner than Tornado's original async_callback. Nice work!
