Maybe this should be "second-person tetris" since you rotate with the block. I would expect a first-person tetris to offer either a view from the POV of the blocks downward, or from the base upwards at the blocks headed my way.

You are overdoing Flash. Theres _no_ reason why something like job listings should be done in Flash when good old HTML would do.

The watch is redundant. Look at the Android phone for the time and bus data.

self-update: there's apparently some plugin development kit that will allow OpenGL ES access. "We have been working closely with a handful of partners as we refine the PDK's design and initial implementation, but we'll be expanding soon. A

I think you meant "Learn a new programming language in 2010" since Haskell is on that list. I cannot imagine learning Haskell to any "useful" degree in anything less than 3 months.

FYI if you are into the bleeding edge, redis has a virtual memory implementation as of about 12 hours ago.

Indeed! I made one iPhone app last year, gave it away for free, got a lot of exposure, and have been doing enough consulting to (finally) leave my day job @ Y! and focus on my own big (iPhone related) project.

Could you elaborate on your comment about targeting companies bad at capacity planning? I did not get that from the interview at least. Also, I am considering using them and wonder how I might be implicitly bad at capacity planning :)

Indeed, NS and SL look like similar offers (maybe not apples to oranges, but perhaps tangerines to oranges). Here's a SL offer similar to the NS Medium offer: SL Bare Metal: 8 x 2.0 GHz Core Bare Metal Instance 8 GB RAM 1000 M

I became interested in NewServers while looking for affordable dedicated server hosting providers. I am personally less interested in "cloud" scalability for my pet project, and more in getting a "decent" quality dedicated server or 3 for

Thank you for explaining how compaction works in greater detail. As I understand it, the "buffer" used for write queries (and more) while compaction is active is in-memory, correct, an ArrayList? http://github.com/mmcgrana/fleetdb/blob/ma

What is the point of this blurb? It has no real "meat" nor is it a review of any sort.

There is nothing new here. A DBA does not like that a database is subjectively misused, and then gets pissy and arrogant about it. E.g., "You’re just being lazy or scared of SQL." I'm not a fan or O/R-Ms myself but I do not feel compelled

I wonder how many people googled "ArrayDB" because of this.

This looks rather neat! I like to think that I know enough Clojure to decipher that the database and metadata is locked during compaction. Is this true? See http://github.com/mmcgrana/fleetdb/blob/master/src/clj/fleet... I wrote somethi

Neat bug but hardly what I would consider "crazy". The source code was available for tracing (and that's how the root cause was made clear). I don't consider a bug to be "crazy" unless the word "volatile" is involved :)

I am not sure there are any lessons here.
