Good on you to build a tool to scratch your itch! As another poster highlighted, hosting other people's content is tricky. Its certainly not a business I would rather be in. I bet …

Mind sharing your secret chicken adobo recipe?

Yeah I'd grab the URL and feed it to curl on the command line to start inspecting the HTTP traffic and start from there.

Great points. I did have the thought about attending meetups - which is a good approach. My first reaction was just that I dont want people to think I'm leaching off of them - I wa…

I have a solid amount of web app backend and Android experience. I am currently trying to build an iOS app and I have, what I think, are some basic questions that any experienced i…

Another solution is wal-e[1] which handles continuous archiving. It was built by the Heroku guys and as such is battle-tested. I use wal-e myself and its indispensable and easy to …

I wish I could +1 this a million times. I develop a Ruby gem for the QB API (Online & Desktop)[1] and I've come to realize their whole API is a mess. I've also worked with the Xero…

how does this compare with 0mq?

Did you look at beanstalk? It has both of the features you're looking for: the ability to set a delay and when a job experiences an error it will be placed in the "buried" queue (w…

This looks great but how does it compare to FullCalendar? [1] From what I can see there is zero documentation, an area which FullCalendar excels at. It will be hard to use this plu…

By traditional I assume you mean the setup where you have an HTTP server which reverse proxies (either doing it itself) or to HAProxy which in turn proxies to the actual Ruby appli…

This is a good post all about using PG Schemas and Rails/ActiveRecord. Ideas could be adapted for Django, etc. http://blog.jerodsanto.net/2011/07/building-multi-tenant-rai...

I love this method and have almost the exact setup. I do the same for JS too. In the footer of every page: $(document).ready(function() { if (V.Views.orders_index) { V.Views.orders…

cache-money is probably the most full-featured and battle-tested (coming from Twitter and now taken over by ngmoco). However its biggest drawback is that its hard-wired to use memc…

Thankfully the Heroku guys have open sourced WAL-E which manages all the tedious parts of setting this up and keeping it running. https://github.com/heroku/WAL-E

Well said. Both of these are spot on and are our main gripes as well.

Also the MySQL query cache is not very granular, it gets cleared on every write to that table. Thus, we've seen in practice that with it enabled MySQL has poorer performance as its…

In 1998 "The Atlantic" magazine wrote a great article about the relationship of Big Business and Prisons, known as the "Prison-Industrial Complex"[1]. Its a sobering read and reall…

I live in Lower Haight and recently joined our neighborhood block on NextDoor.com [1] A lot of my neighbors have been posting about recent break-ins. There has been a good number o…

I'd be very interested in purchasing this book. Please keep us updated when its available.
