You will have to create an attribute for your json, where you'll store the json utf-8 encoded. If you want to index on parts of that json blob you'll have to pull them out into their own separate attributes and the recombine them into a sin

I really wish GA tracked all the metrics exposed by the timing spec, instead of combining them into one overall value. It's great that this reports numbers from actual users' machines instead of a headless render process on a monitoring ser

Right, that makes sense, thank you for the explanation. I guess interopertability between the two services implied to me they could speak eachothers' protocols in entirety (at least ideally), so i pictured gtalk talking to the aim chat room

What about interoperability with aim chat rooms?

Interesting to see json schema used. I was just using it for something similar in my own api framework (although mostly for validation and serialization, not just discovery) and the public interest in the spec seemed mild at best. Good to s

Google instant is where google shows you search results as you type, going beyond auto completing your query. Some people like myself find that annoying, and it's doubly annoying that google actually resets your preferences back to what IT

I've used ORMs before i worked at myspace. NHibernate specifically. I've also used sql alchemy on the python side. NHibernate was in a professional environment, sql alchemy was a bunch of stuff I did for evaluation purposes, so you can disc

It's interesting to hear that has worked well, obviously this wasn't a small project. Your point about knowing how to use your tool definitely rings true. Also interesting that you had a use case where data loss and integrity actually matte

Query results you will normally adapt to specific object properties, and at that point the only thing that can bite you is if your query starts returning columns of a different sql type, which of course you can't catch compile time anyway.

There is one thing that I think can help with the sql overhead you mention - if you have a rock star dedicated sql person that can take all this work off your hands (that's not me btw, i've just worked/am working with such people). I think

The difference at a high level is that sql has a syntax and set of capabilities that is quite unique, and every single database vendor has its own extensions or differences driven by their particular approach. To really replicate all of thi

Things like lazy loading is a red flag to me that you are doing something wrong, so if your framework allows you to do that that's not necessarily something to brag about :). Random IO that is triggered by merely accessing a property withou

My experience is from writing a bunch of middle tier code at MySpace in the 06-07 time frame, the myspace hey days when they were pushing more traffic than google (true story). Anyway, the user facing product might have sucked, but we did s

Sure, I'm just trying to speak up for some of the less popular technologies in today's dev community :). SQL server has the downside of costing money, but i think it should be in the equation when making technology decisions today, it's a v

Wrapping both caching logic and database access in an ORM like system is no doubt the right thing to do. Letting front end developers write queries to be converted by an orm and reviewed by a DBA later - in my opinion that's not the most ef

Tying yourself to LINQ is one thing, tying yourself to MS SQL Server is completely fine if you're ok with the licensing fees. SQL Server is probably one of the best enterprise databases out there right now, I imagine right behind oracle.

If you are building anything more complex than a blog site and expect to take a decent amount of traffic, to the point that you may in fact care about optimizing at all, going with an ORM that writes sql for you is a really really bad idea.

Aren't metrics such as "seconds on an ec2 instance" not particularly meaningful because you get highly variable performance per instance based on who else is using the actual hardware? Am I correct to assume that m2.2xlarge instances are sh

I've read a number of discussions about python editors on stackoverflow and some random blog posts, and netbeans seems to invariably be missing from the discussion. Why is that? I've been using it for the past couple of months and I definit

For what it's worth, another 2c from another web developer - for me memory isolation and COW for module dependencies would be less useful than a single process and a lack of GIL (hold the flamethrowers for one second please) - allowing me t

That's $86,700 per year, not cheap to say the least. Is that kind of setup good enough for some level of PCI compliance? I think they still require that your servers are physically secure.

That's definitely false. We've had Microsoft's TFS as the source control system when I started working there about 4-5 years ago (I no longer work at ms). We also had two levels of stage servers, several for the dev code branch, and a coupl

Eric Schmidt has mentioned several times that google is very fond (focused on he would say) of the "hockey stick" projects that are created by developers and not by the managers on up, and as users discover them, experience exponential grow
