This is a good way to look at it, I think. People often ask if I'd use CouchDB again if I was building another similar system - I would, but I'd restrict it to a subset of the problem that was best-suited to CouchDB's strengths/quirks. (not

There are reduce views there - both examples 2 and 3 use the built-in "_sum" reduce, which is equivalent to something like: function(key, values, rereduce) { return sum(values); } With regard to more advanced views: you'd be surpri

Even with all the supposed deterioration of HN, comments like this keep me coming back for more. Thanks, Bret!

Try following these instructions (if you're on Snow Leopard): http://superuser.com/questions/43531/installing-pygame-on-sn... Worked great for me.

This reads like marketing-blogspam to me. These two projects solve totally different problems, and the author acknowledges it, yet he still goes on to highlight benchmarks where VoltDB is 10-20x faster than Cassandra. Of course it's going t

I suspect that the wakemates themselves aren't doing the mobile dev work, but are outsourcing it and spending their time on the difficult stuff - getting the hardware operational and approved. In that case, if you've got the money, why not

That's a nearly Reddit-level non-sequiter ;) The "Picwing frame" is/was an actual photo frame - http://www.picwing.com/blog/?p=22 ; I don't think edawerd drilled into himself assembling a server.

If you're just remapping modifier keys, the Keyboard prefs pane works well (not sure if it's part of Leopard, though). If you want to map something to ESC, try PCKeyboardHack: http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/extra.html

That's true for the social plugins, but if you've authenticated with the site (e.g., click the "log in" button at the top of any CNN page and log in with FB), any 3rd party running javascript on the page will have access to all of the data

Yes, they're noise compared to Java, of course; but he didn't imply that Clojure was going to overtake Java anytime soon - both metrics were introspective. Looking at this chart, the growth does seem to be both exponential and rapid: http:

If your argument for why YC isn't worth it is the whole cash/equity/valuation bit, then you definitely haven't talked to enough YC alumni to get a feel for the real value of the program. OTOH, if you're saying that those who think they _nee

Would be interested to hear your take on Django+CouchDB - are you using a library like Couchdbkit, or rolling your own? Are you connecting it to the built-in admin?

It wouldn't surprise me, as that's probably a more lucrative market (teaching English to those in China or India); but when you're building and testing a product, it's probably better to be able to speak to your testers in your/their native

Huh. I'm on my phone, so I can't view the site, but I saw a 787 go over my head at about 7:30 this morning as I left home in west Seattle, which is just northwest of Boeing field. Strange that they're saying it's 10am. Then again, maybe I w

I don't think it's fair to say that google developed chrome to prevent users from blocking ads - adblock users make up such a small percentage and likely non-optimal demographic of Internet users that I don't think google's worried abot tha
