Why you're expecting something good form a "market place"? Even Zarathustra spake that it should be avoided. So, "walk proud, William Blake" if you've decided to come here. ^_^ You have basically two strategies - being what you are or being

Oh, come on. the same bullshit as openssh 0-day. Have you ever tried to imagine how many audits have been done on SSL protocol and most common implementations by all those corporations, banks, and other organizations with a lots of money an

You forget bandwidth. With local servers it is free. ^_^

You said web projects? That's right. In corporate world the ratio is around 90% ^_^ And everyone should be happy - without BS projects jobless ratio among mediocre coders and ctrl-c-ctrl-v sysadmins will be much higher.)

As far as I know, even clojure-contrib requires lots of jars, and I guess Scala is also very costly, but let it go. I appreciate your innovative idea and amount of work you have done, so this small efficiency issue does not really matter. b

Someone want to implement something like that without 100 jars of dependencies and 8Gb of memory required to just run, in old-fashioned C/Lisp way (or more modern nginx-way)? Update: on top of Plan9?! ^_^ Or, at least, in more suitable Er

What to do? I whish I could say you should use Percona Server with XtraDB. If we were using SSD as storage, then I would recommend it.

There are two big ideas in REST. First one is in realm of system engineering, and second one in the realm of programming paradigms. Using HTTP[S] protocol allows you to pass through almost every heterogeneous network. That means any highly

Yet another self-promotion article. Oh, we stuff data in memory and then when it is time to write changes on disk everything got frozen! MySQL suck, buy our solution! Nice guys.) First, it is useless to store data in memory if you want them

There are more than one loop expression. Idiomatic usage of a for loop doesn't include changing counter variable in a loop's body. ^_^

It isn't just FB's problem, and it is not becoming a new Yahoo (it is becoming a new MySpace). ^_^ The vision should be a little bit broader (and scarier to those invested in it and its clones) - OK, every teenager in the world already has

In the good old times, when sky was more blue and trees were taller, there was two almost distinct approaches to use SQL database. They call them OLTP and Data Warehouse. Some vendors, such as Informix or IBM even offered a different produc

You need not to be a genius to immediately notice that doing i-- inside a for loop is.. OK just not very smart. ^_^

So, there was someone who expected that x86 win32 apps will run on ARM? ^_^ So, that rumors about miserable average level of intelligence in US aren't just rumors? ^_^

So, it is a Heroku clone, but without all its clarity that matters and visual beauty that sells. ^_^ And Power (can't tell how I hate that stupid primitive branding for idiots by idiots) is an attempt to be like AWS - disk-image based hosti

Someone pays money for such primitive writings? May be I can get some part-time job? ^_^ One who wants to learn how to sell fruits or vegetables should visit some big Asian bazar (local word for a marketplace) and take a look. Most of selle

No, I have no doubts that well-funded commercial enterprise can keep its code up to date, I considered from the Open Source, community-driven point of view.

Tomorrow they (Oracle) will decide to "slash the costs, do restructuring and refocus on their core businesses" as Cisco recently did, and guess what? ^_^

The trick was about giving free licenses to big and popular open Java projects, such as Spring, Hibernate or JBoss. That was a million dollar idea.

If it will be a closed platform, it doesn't matter. I had a lot of experience with Solaris (x86 only - people tried to run Informix/Oracle on a cheap hardware) starting from Solaris 7 and onwards. It was always a problem even to install it

by schiptsov 15y ago
Point taken, thank you! So, if it OpenSolaris based, then nothing to see here. Community is too small. Who will write and test up-to-date drivers for all new hardware that vendors are pushing to the market each half-of-year?

Qemu-KVM + SPL + puppet + some monitoring? Yeah, Amazon should start looking for a PANIC-button. ^_^ Update: Oh, come on. I've clicked to the TECHNOLOGY link and what I saw instead of technology review is load of BS. SmartMachines? OK, even

Over-simplifications and over-generalizations are ones enemies rather than friends. We didn't say that Visual Basic is an assembly language of an office or AutoLisp is an assembly of construction business. Repeat after me: Javascript is jus

Obviously, replacing a sitting desk with a standing desk is not the answer. The answer is (surprise! surprise!) do pauses after each hour and take 10-15 min. active recreation. Exactly the same as it was in a school or college. It is not ab

Yes, we did! That is why we love Erlang but not Node.js, Lisp/Scheme instead of Java, Python3/Ruby instead of PHP, C but not C++, Postgres instead of MySQL, postfix, but not sendmail, Emacs instead of Eclipse, vim in terminal window and ne

1. Read a chapter from The Mythical Man-month each day before going to bed. ^_^ 2. Assumption that when a large project with lots of coders involved grows (and matures) the number of bugs (per line of code) decreases, is very naive one. (se

Numbers of lines of code and improved readability alone are worth switching. As a consequence, less code means less consumption of resources, for Java it is very true.)) Just by looking at the code one could see that Clojure makes the devel
