He exaggerates. That's just his style. We accept it, and we generally ignore what he says. Mongrel is nothing but hype most of the time. It doesn't offer particularly advanced features that even nginx and lighttpd…
The MongoDB query looks just like the execution plan that'd be generated behind the scenes by the query evaluator of any relational database. Except, of course, the MongoDB query isn't optimized nearly as much as the…
I found http://www.korokithakis.net/node/116 to be closer to my experiences.
Most of the debt problems in the US are the result of poor decisions made by Republican governments during the 1980s and the 2000s. These Republicans get the bulk of their votes from rural folk, where the density of…
Maybe that's why reddit is so damn slow most of the time.
I wish that somebody would solve the "funny" problem with xkcd. You know, make it so that they're actually funny.
There's no excuse for a modern mail client, regardless of how it's implemented, to take 30 seconds just to open the display that's used for composing an email. Yes, that's how slow GMail is for some of us.
I've seen code written in India that disallowed any email address containing one or more digits. This was on a site accepting email addresses from the general public, as well.
Have you never used Visual Studio or Eclipse? They easily let you navigate and search your own code, plus any other libraries you might be using and that you have the source code to.
It's good to get the word out to highly-technical audiences like one you find here, so that we can test it and report any bugs before the final release.
Are you a small man, in stature? I'm 6'5", and my thumb is about as big as the entire keyboard on a Blackberry. I try to press one key, and I end up pressing eight. That's why those devices are near-unusable by me.
No, I think Microsoft actually got it correct. It's a much better user experience to have usable applications running on a real computer, than it is to have half-baked web "applications" running on some remote "Cloud".
Where is the value in Apple? Its ability to trick Americans into buying very expensive, yet very restrictive, products that most of the time they really don't need? That's actually a very harmful thing, from an economic…
It makes sense why he's saying that. The people responsible for large, important data sets usually have lots of money to spend storing that data. Since they care about their data, they know better than to get involved…
"Durability" in that sense has nothing to do with how the data is stored, or how long it's available for. It simply means that after a transaction has been reported as having been committed successfully, it won't ever…
The huge rise in Objective-C's popularity isn't natural; it's only a result of Apple basically forcing all software targeting its popular mobile platforms to be written in Objective-C. Maybe the Perl community just…
The best Flash-blocking extension is to just not bother installing Flash in the first place.
Browsers should just display content. Filtering proxies should filter out ads and other unwanted content before it ever gets to the browser.

That sounds a lot like the Angelfire site builder that some people used to create sites way back in 1994.
No thanks, Zed. I'll just continue to use PostgreSQL. It'll scale better, it'll be more reliable, it's a real database, and it's released under a truly free licence. Take this NoSQL crap back to Rubyland.
It's too bad you're using a .ly domain. The mere association with Libya, and the fact that you're dealing with invoicing, makes me very uncomfortable.
That was a terrible article. It was all over the place, spewing nonsense in all directions.
