mid 30s for my child heading to UNH as well, despite major "scholarship" award.

Also, he very clearly states he borrowed code from 2 of his other projects that made it faster/easier.

Am I the only one that finds it annoying to have each layer's stats in different units? We have: TB/mo, reqs/sec, queries/day, reqs/min, searches/day.

How did we survive? Skills, connections, and some luck. It wasn't that everything vaporized, just a lot of fluff companies built on VC with no profitable business model. Just as wh…

You don't mention where you are located and if that matters (i.e. remote work OK or not).

Aside from spam, I mean marketing emails, what email do you send or receive that needs HTML?

Very nice, thank you, definitely using this in new code.

Very nice and thanks! Writing a replacement for Xively/Cosm/Pachube was on my TODO list, but now I don't have to. I'll take this for a spin later, and hope to contribute if there i…

locate indexer cronjob should never be enabled on a production box. Problem solved.

Probably nobody is looking at this thread now, but just in case... I've had similar code I use in Flask apps for awhile now and this project inspired me to turn it into a legit Fla…

Yeah, it's more of an advanced topic for commercial prod sites, but worth mentioning as trying to do the migration prior to a code push is also not going to work (no migration to b…

That technique used for migrations will fail with a real production app where you want to avoid downtime. The process outlined is: 1. deploy new code to prod 2. run migration on pr…

Well all these threads are just pure speculation anyway. My point was that he was hinting at a Facebook Platform style initiative that is very different than just making an awesome…

That was a very nicely written piece and he had me going until this part: "We're on the cusp of what I think is not The Next Big Platform, but rather simply The Final Platform – th…

In your analogy, sending is not free. Both Netflix has already paid postage to deliver all of the letters (their CDN/bandwidth costs) and each recipient has already paid for their …

Same here. Coincidence? I think not. They even added details about how much Drive data I have, a passive threat that it might not be safe if I don't cough up for the paid account.

I have no mix - can't stand the glossy, especially for code work (or anything dealing with text). Glossy is great for photos and watching video, which I do very little of on my lap…

MyBatis (formerly iBatis) might be a good option. It's been years since I used it but it's a lightweight alternative to Hibernate: http://blog.mybatis.org/

Webvan was the best thing born of the 1st dotcom era, sadly it was unsustainable. Their timing was perfect for me - I was car-less in SF with kids and the local grocery store had r…

For example, I have real-life experience from this event: http://programming.oreilly.com/2007/07/365-main-datacenter-p... And that was a top-tier datacenter at the time. Good luck …

+1, I've been working remotely from Portland for 11 years now, great place to live but tech jobs are scarce vs. Boston, NYC, SF.
