It sounds nonsense to me to blame Wikileaks for making transparency opponents make more opposed to transparency. When you point out a problem, sometimes the people who don't want this problem to be solved will take even more radical measure

In comparison, I landed in china on thursday. Today is monday, and I have a fully furnished office (with furniture I selected myself), an assistant and 25 interviews with programmers scheduled for this week. The business papers

who uses MySQL as anything but a glorified key-value store when reaching large sizes? My assumption is both Quora and Facebook use MySQL this way. While you are right that this is not using it as a real database , I want to know if Postg

Those who commented in favor of postgres: What are some of the biggest deployments of postgres? Facebook has a gargantic deployment of MySQL and it just works. The author of the answer on Quora mentions reliable scalability as the most impo

That would be their end as a troll, b/c vandalizing open source projects is way beyond troll-ness, it's evil.

The error that shows up on the page actually has stack trace written on top of it.

It's just less simpler than the home screen with a nice background, however, there is no reason why anyone would open the dialpad to carry this experiment.

I agree with this, and yes I used the word 'clojure' to mean any frameworks/web servers/middleware that can be used to code in clojure. Just like when people say "php is good for web programming" most of them actually mean php, apache, mysq

Good point. My first thought was that "why would the keyboard be open by default?"

'So. Why is data a "poor sport"?' Because it's not data, it's just some hand holding a phone and the bars are dropping. No explanation whatsoever.

Oh, OK that makes sense. Never heard of that before:)

No, I didn't gloss over the details with the possible exception of deployment to EC2. Most of the stuff you listed are a prerequisite to web development. For most other languages/frameworks database connection would be included too.

Are you serious? 45 LOC is not a good metric btw, why are you omitting all that boilerplate configuration. Any reasonable tutorial on PHP/python/RoR would build something more sophisticated more concisely. Here is a python tutorial: http:/

If this is an easy way to create a web app that adds two numbers on Clojure, I'd say Clojure is not ready for web development yet.

It doesn't even work with style sheets. Can you specify what it works with?

Name one database that won't have scaling issues for sure. Scaling DB-wise is not only a good problem, it is inevitable if you constantly grow.

I said you can _crawl_ in the sense that it's technically possible & easy. Also I don't think you'd get into trouble if you use it for your own research and not disclose your results.

Is there a technical reason preventing the big guys (youtube/yahoo /vimeo etc.) from developing this kind of thing? I always thought running voice recognition on user submitted videos would require massive infrastructure. How are you guys p

I don't think it's a big deal but I guess the author wanted to point out an easy way to crawl this public info. There are similar ways to crawl public Facebook profiles too, so it's really not a big deal.

As of this comment it's exactly 3278. I wonder why you didn't bother doing 3-4 more trials before writing the comment :) http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/sitemap-3278.txt

And how is this news? Google has been trying to be too many things at once and failing in many of them for at least 4 years now. Also it was a very shallow blog post, an itemized list of what the author dislikes about the current status of

+1 quiet. You might have really good speakers. Always safer to make the videos louder, the user can always tune it down but can't tune it up beyond his/her speaker's capability.

Do I interpret it incorrectly or do you guys deliberately use VM terminology to describe your product? When you connect to a virtual machine from a browser you are not launching a VM, neither are you running any windows machines on Stac

Based on real life experience, IMO some people would rather extend the definition of "fad" to include Google and Microsoft than stop calling Facebook a "fad".

Half a billion is a nice number, but the number isn't what really matters here Right, what matters is the bigger number, 25 billion, which is what Facebook is worth.

While I agree with what you are saying, your analogy is not completely accurate. Switching GUI is nowhere near switching the kernel in terms of risk and the hassle that might come with the change. The main reasons for inertia are the linux
