or if its a lot of money -- you're probably under-valuing what you're learning (assuming a semi-rational labour market..)


I dont usually bring it up, but curious - am I the only one who finds a blurb like this a bit unseemly:

  If you enjoyed this post, I’d be humbled if you’d follow me on Twitter.


I think it's an intentional play on the infamous "you should follow me on twitter" sign-off popularized by Dustin Curtis[1] and propagated by bloggers who don't understand the limitations of split-testing.

It struck me as a little strange, as most people say they'd be honored to have your attention, not humbled.


You just might reconsider (and that is what bb is banking on), at the end of the day having to police the number of repos you can have is a pain(esp in a startup, where people are seemingly forever going off to hack away on random stuff). Sure bb isnt as pretty--current redraw notwithstanding--but unlimited repos is very handy indeed. just saying. Inline commenting was missed (we moved from gh to bb a few months ago), but i see that has been released too.


In my humble opinion, in the vast majority of cases, yes. Because " C ", " D ", " C# " should be easier for search engines to disambiguate (at least working with Lucene, it is, and I imagine Google etc are similar-ish).

As for Java, Python the context in the page likely to point to its intended audience (and it helps they have been around for ages etc). Otoh, " go " is likely to be used in a lot of literature, including other programming related texts.

Try searching for something with clojure, and then try go -- the quality of results is usually substantially different, and my unsubstantiated hunch is that not all of it has to do with lack of go-related content.

Seems to be getting better though..


It was kind of interesting comparing the quotes from the various network operators. For instance, this management-speak gem could apply to any product at all:

"Etisalat aim to enrich the user experience and improve the life of its customers by providing enhanced services across a complete portfolio of devices and operating systems. Firefox OS will provide an open source platform to our customers and various ecosystem players, such as application developers, to experience innovative services. Thanks to this strategic initiative, the industry will benefit from a sustained growth in mobile data and the development of cutting edge applications, as well as the promise of affordable smartphone devices that provide an enriched customer experience."

I saw them but those are but single datapoints (and apps seems to vary wildly in requirements). would be handy to have a slider so you could answer the 'what-ifs'. also, was an early beta signup, really liked dotcloud, but have to agree this pricing is pretty complicated :(


Ruby logging ~3x as fast as Python, is this normal?


These are the results using the basic options, probably it could be optimized


wow. i didnt realize what an aesthetic achievement the dropbox sync checkmarks were until i saw the google drive ones...


Now I'm curious. Do you have a screenshot? (I don't have Drive yet)

EDIT: never mind, I can see them in the graphic on the announcement blog post. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OmO4AEPzKVE/T5bIDxKcD6I/AAAAAAAAJH...


funnily enough - it records the text in GA as a custom event http://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?utmwv=5.2.8&ut....


You'd think -- but the 10gen guys weren't surprised when we were struggling at this level (periodically), on a RS with two AWS large instances and relatively large objects. Absolute ops/sec in and of itself is relatively meaningless tbh.
