It sounds nonsense to me to blame Wikileaks for making transparency opponents make more opposed to transparency. When you point out a problem, sometimes the people who don't want t…

> How do all the Chinese/Korean/Indian people in the US do it? A lot of those come via green card lottery. That still means it's hard.

In comparison, I landed in china on thursday. Today is monday, and I have a fully furnished office (with furniture I selected myself), an assistant and 25 interviews with programme…

who uses MySQL as anything but a glorified key-value store when reaching large sizes? My assumption is both Quora and Facebook use MySQL this way. While you are right that this is …

Those who commented in favor of postgres: What are some of the biggest deployments of postgres? Facebook has a gargantic deployment of MySQL and it just works. The author of the an…

I'd say most important is LAMP and that unfortunately Postgres starts with the letter P.

That would be their end as a troll, b/c vandalizing open source projects is way beyond troll-ness, it's evil.

The error that shows up on the page actually has stack trace written on top of it.

It's just less simpler than the home screen with a nice background, however, there is no reason why anyone would open the dialpad to carry this experiment.

I agree with this, and yes I used the word 'clojure' to mean any frameworks/web servers/middleware that can be used to code in clojure. Just like when people say "php is good for w…

Good point. My first thought was that "why would the keyboard be open by default?"

'So. Why is data a "poor sport"?' Because it's not data, it's just some hand holding a phone and the bars are dropping. No explanation whatsoever.

Oh, OK that makes sense. Never heard of that before:)

No, I didn't gloss over the details with the possible exception of deployment to EC2. Most of the stuff you listed are a prerequisite to web development. For most other languages/f…

Are you serious? 45 LOC is not a good metric btw, why are you omitting all that boilerplate configuration. Any reasonable tutorial on PHP/python/RoR would build something more soph…

If this is an easy way to create a web app that adds two numbers on Clojure, I'd say Clojure is not ready for web development yet.

It doesn't even work with style sheets. Can you specify what it works with?

Name one database that won't have scaling issues for sure. Scaling DB-wise is not only a good problem, it is inevitable if you constantly grow.

I said you can _crawl_ in the sense that it's technically possible & easy. Also I don't think you'd get into trouble if you use it for your own research and not disclose your resul…

Is there a technical reason preventing the big guys (youtube/yahoo /vimeo etc.) from developing this kind of thing? I always thought running voice recognition on user submitted vid…

browse through the family names at your convenience: http://facebook.com/family Search the public statuses of Facebook users (this is done via the API): http://youropenbook.org/

I don't think it's a big deal but I guess the author wanted to point out an easy way to crawl this public info. There are similar ways to crawl public Facebook profiles too, so it'…
