Linkbait aside there are some reasonable points being made here, specifically "Failover means downtime" about HBase. We run into this pretty much every day in one of our customer facing applications or APIs and it's quite fru

You can use SaneTimeField to store sanetime objects in your Django app.

I believe someone is working on writing up a more detailed post about this, but I'll throw the sanetime library out there. It's pretty slick and even has built in Django support. https://github.com/HubSpot/sanetime https://sanetime.readt

Drunkasaurus! Oh man, 2009 was a good year :) I'll echo what skates and iba said -- battlecode was probably one of the most productive things I did in school. when everyone else is trying to teach you how to properly to document your precon

Totally agree. I can't tell you how many times I tried to close apps on my android phone by swiping upwards after I started using WebOS.

Good stuff! Reimplementing old hardware on an FPGA is a really fun and enlightening exercise that I would highly recommend to any CS people with some extra time and patience. I've been working on an FPGA based GameBoy implementation in my s

Indeed. I wrote a similar framework in Actionscript / Flex a few years ago, actually with a lot of input from the Scratch team. I've been thinking about porting it to JS recently. Glad to see someone beat me to it :) Edit: Here's my old Act

Very impressive stuff. For what it's worth, I played around with the new audio reCAPTCHA a bit. - I heard 50+ distinct words, plus the numbers 1-9 - Numbers are not written out anymore (e.g. "nine" does not work, it must be "9")

That was my point. For example, TortoiseGit presents "revert" instead of "checkout" (e.g. on a file, not a branch). "revert" in git actually means something else entirely.

I use TortoiseGit (and was a long time user of TortoiseSVN before that), but I find it to be a poor substitute for the command line. I feel like they tried to make the names of git commands more user friendly, but having already grown accus

Not sure why you're getting downvoted -- this was my reaction as well. Particularly the lack of any sort of top or bottom border makes the app feel very cramped. Also, some of the mouse interactions I've become accustomed to in Win7 don't s

This is really neat. One of my favorite Windows design features (there aren't many) is the way icons in the taskbar are highlighted with their primary color when you mouseover. This seems like the perfect solution to replicate that effect e

Not sure how this stacks up against other fair use guidelines, but I'm pretty sure a 3-10 second sample is within the allowable limits of copyright law[1]. However, there are other qualifications, such as reduced quality that might disquali

If you're into this kind of thing, you should check out Battlecode ( http://www.battlecode.org ). It's primarily an MIT competition, but in recent years we've opened it up to the general public. Also, several YC alums are former devs.

Time zone support! This has always been one of the most painful things to manage IMHO. Also this little gem caught my attention... * The if template tag now supports {% elif %} clauses.

One minor critique... the example placeholders are of the form "example.com" but it seems to reject domains that are not fully qualified (e.g. " http://example.com ) Neat idea though.

Most of that software has been rewritten several times over now, but the competition lives on (it's called Battlecode now)! We actually open sourced a bunch of the code base last year if you're interested in checking it out [1]. Additionall
