Awesome framework. All the quirkiness of ASP.NET is abstracted away from you (though you can still get to it if you need to). As a Rails developer you'll feel right at home with controllers, views, routing, and tests. The annoyances: - Ac

If you have a Rails background and couldn't stand classic ASP.NET, MVC is a godsend if you're ever forced to write a web app on the Microsoft stack.

If you think college is about the books and classes, you're missing the point. Most of the value is from meeting tons of new people your age with backgrounds very different from your own, learning to live on your own, and getting the piece

Having to install a plugin is kind of annoying, but Voxli is one of the simplest-to-setup, easiest-to-use voice chats I've ever used. Inviting someone to a chat via a URL is really convenient and I could really see this taking off.

Works! I'm new to Justin.tv but here are two tips: * Choose the second entry from the "Recent Broadcasts" list. * Don't worry about the meter showing the video as only 2 minutes long.. after the 2 minutes are up it wraps back to the beginn

I found the original linked page much more descriptive than the Ajaxian summary: http://www.cjohansen.no/en/ruby/juicer_a_css_and_javascript_... Juicer is written in Ruby. You need Java too if you want to use JsLint and YUI Compressor.

Not to be a naysayer, but I don't know that there's a lot you can do except run it yourself on a large, popular site that people have heard of. Companies like FriendFeed will use memcached cause LiveJournal/Facebook use it, they'll use MyS

Even easier for a startup. All the fun employees benefits like "2 weeks notice" don't apply until a company is a certain size.

Thanks for sharing. That was very educational. We store data in a really similar way at Spock, pointing all our reads at a big MySQL table which essentially just has an id column and a really big text column containing all the values, JSON

Even if you had a bad YC experience, it wouldn't be to your advantage to go public with it. You'd burn bridges for little gain. The only people who seem to bad-mouth investors are ones who've already made more money than they know what to

Another reason this happens in my opinion: If you graduate from a good college with a marketable degree, you get sucked right into a cushy job at a large company. If you never got that degree and don't have that job, you're not giving up a

Microsoft does some crazy things for backwards compatibility. Here's one of my favorites related to the Display Control Panel: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2006/01/10/511201....

I'm willing to host a South Bay one sometime but I have a day job so it'd have to be an evening or weekend. Email me if you're interested (email's in my profile).

In a sentence, he loved Rails, joined Muxtape despite it being written in PHP cause he believed in it, felt unproductive and missed Rails, so he took a day to rewrite in Rails.

Seems like a no-brainer from an engineering perspective. - They use 7: It says "7.0" when you look at the version number on the About Windows dialog, which nearly no users look at anyway. - They use 6.1: All the programs that have a hard-co

$20 glasses? What about $8 glasses ordered online and shipped from Hong Kong? A friend of mine got these and they're definitely cheaper-feeling than your typical $130 pair, but at 8 bucks a pop, you can get a whole bunch and you're bound

Pricing's more or less been announced though I guess it's still not "official" yet: * $0.10 - $0.12 per CPU core-hour * $0.15 - $0.18 per GB-month of storage * $0.11 - $0.13 per GB outgoing bandwidth * $0.09 - $0.11 per GB incoming bandwidt

Wow, that's a great summarization of all the persistence technologies available. I found the stats at the end to be deceptive though. You'd have to code support for 3 different native client storage APIs in JavaScript + use Flash in order
