    Sounds a lot like what Redis is doing with Redis Cluster, except this one is already in production.

    I came to this conclusion over a year ago in the only blog post I ever wrote before realizing blogging wasn't my thing. http://resopollution.com/blog/2009/02/3-misconceptions-about... Essentially, it is better to have a fast snappy app w

    I'm using Pylons as well. It's the perfect balance between using something too basic like cherrypy / web.py and something way too spoonfed like "django". It removes the need for writing my own MVC which I would have needed anyways, and doe

    > With regard to patents, VP8 copies way too much from H.264 for anyone sane to be comfortable with it, no matter whose word is behind the claim of being patent-free. This is the scary one. The other points are simply a matter of impro

    Well I'd make the bet that Apple will eventually support WebM, namely because of Youtube (because I'm betting Google encodes Youtube videos in VP8). VP8 has the best chance of becoming the HTML5 video standard since Mozilla flat out refuses

    The flash support is absolutely key to this thing being adopted. If I'm a video company, I'd bet the future on VP8 and HTML5 with Flash to support older browsers.

    I love Python the language and all the great libraries that come with it. The reason I chose JavaScript for server side has a lot to do with V8. Also, if you follow best practices for coding styles and use JSLint, javascript is very power

    I think what you are really talking about is the DOM, not javascript the language.

    I personally disagree. None of those why's are all that important except for the buffering because the end user is in fact the only term in the equation that matters. Advertiser reporting tools are not crucial. They will advertise if they

    Basically, as of today, HTML5 video isn't ready. We all knew that. The guy goes on to say that technology moves at a fast pace and they haven't ruled out HTML5. Google's rumored VP8 release at I/O will help catapult it into prime time. DRM

    good thing is if you are making an browser MMO game you can much just require users use a specific browser. Unless it's dead simple to get it to work in IE, I would not even bother.

    ugh, I feel for you, 16x16 sprites look really cool no matter how far in the future we go. FWIW I've lost all my old work too. I wish Dropbox was around back then.
