You will have to create an attribute for your json, where you'll store the json utf-8 encoded. If you want to index on parts of that json blob you'll have to pull them out into the…

Any word on when boto will support this?

I really wish GA tracked all the metrics exposed by the timing spec, instead of combining them into one overall value. It's great that this reports numbers from actual users' machi…

Right, that makes sense, thank you for the explanation. I guess interopertability between the two services implied to me they could speak eachothers' protocols in entirety (at leas…

What about interoperability with aim chat rooms?

Interesting to see json schema used. I was just using it for something similar in my own api framework (although mostly for validation and serialization, not just discovery) and th…

> Also, Moore's law is still relevant in the mobile market meaning that people replace their phones fairly frequently to get better hardware support. A mobile phone from 5 years ag…

Google instant is where google shows you search results as you type, going beyond auto completing your query. Some people like myself find that annoying, and it's doubly annoying t…

I've disabled it in preferences probably at least 4 times now, last time being just yesterday. Today I go to search for something, and sure enough it's back again. Check preference…

I've used ORMs before i worked at myspace. NHibernate specifically. I've also used sql alchemy on the python side. NHibernate was in a professional environment, sql alchemy was a b…

It's interesting to hear that has worked well, obviously this wasn't a small project. Your point about knowing how to use your tool definitely rings true. Also interesting that you…

Query results you will normally adapt to specific object properties, and at that point the only thing that can bite you is if your query starts returning columns of a different sql…

There is one thing that I think can help with the sql overhead you mention - if you have a rock star dedicated sql person that can take all this work off your hands (that's not me …

The difference at a high level is that sql has a syntax and set of capabilities that is quite unique, and every single database vendor has its own extensions or differences driven …

Things like lazy loading is a red flag to me that you are doing something wrong, so if your framework allows you to do that that's not necessarily something to brag about :). Rando…

My experience is from writing a bunch of middle tier code at MySpace in the 06-07 time frame, the myspace hey days when they were pushing more traffic than google (true story). Any…

Sure, I'm just trying to speak up for some of the less popular technologies in today's dev community :). SQL server has the downside of costing money, but i think it should be in t…

Wrapping both caching logic and database access in an ORM like system is no doubt the right thing to do. Letting front end developers write queries to be converted by an orm and re…

Tying yourself to LINQ is one thing, tying yourself to MS SQL Server is completely fine if you're ok with the licensing fees. SQL Server is probably one of the best enterprise data…

If you are building anything more complex than a blog site and expect to take a decent amount of traffic, to the point that you may in fact care about optimizing at all, going with…

Aren't metrics such as "seconds on an ec2 instance" not particularly meaningful because you get highly variable performance per instance based on who else is using the actual hardw…

Well, except for this part of the post: Burt had a questionnaire to which my answers were : -I was given permission to use the camera by Carl, a superior. -The tape I used was mine…

So if he handed off all the copies of the video he had to google, where did the video in the post come from? Is it a totally different video?
