   I was actually about to use Posterous, but the campaign brought my attention to Tumblr, which previously I thought was just a tumble-log, not a blog with complete features. After checking out Tumblr, it was not clear to me that Posterous w

   Agreed. The UI isn't even that good. They paid a company to tell them to copy Facebook, but ghettoed it. The funding definitely went to people who were not ready for this. They had 4 developers on this, you'd expect more polish. Just fe

   If you plan to have no redundancy, you probably aren't building anything valuable enough to care about losing some data anyways. The extra hours of my life I get back due to productivity from using mongo over something like mysql is worth

   I don't think syntax is really that much of an issue. The fact is if you might expand to real-time apps later on, you'll have to write new abstractions all over again for stuff like fetching data, whereas if you started with something like

   Curious though, if you are a Pythonista, why not use something like gevent or tornado?

   A lot sites these days don't do joins with relational databases anyways. They just use mysql or postgresql as a key value store.

    4) For web apps at least, it's nice to get data back in json format that you can give to the browser immediately without having to build your own json object each time. MongoDB saves you development time at every level. Add to the fact th

    Use 2 collections (tables). Users - id - events_attended (array of event ids) Events - id - users_attended (array of user ids) If you want to get events a user attended, do a query like: 1) get the user.events_attended array 2) events.find(

    This kind of BS is why I quit IXDA. Hypothesis with no convincing evidence either way being passed around as fact.

    I think this is the first homepage for a travel site I've seen that doesn't hide the calendar picker. Whoever is designing this site knows what they are doing.

    How will it compare to jQTouch and sencha touch in terms of file size? Looking forward to it.

    I use it on both sides (client and server). There's some code sharing between server and client side, but it's not a huge productivity boost that one should switch to a language they may not be comfortable with on the server side. Organizi

    I really don't see the point of using frameworks (libraries are fine). You should write your own. It's a lot easier than you think and you get full understanding and control of your request/response cycle. Learning and mastering somebody

    there is definitely a need for this. I hate sharing word documents. How complicated will the flows be? Seems like in the screenshot it's just sequential. Will there be more like Visio later on where you can create loops and decision poi

    I think the right scroll bar is difficult to use in most browsers without a maximized window. There needs to be a better UI for vertical scrolling, for example grow the right bar as your mouse moves closer so there is more surface area to
