I've found different use cases for Redis tend to require different configurations (persistence mode, key eviction policy when at maxmemory setting, VM vs no VM, etc). How much per-instance configuration do you plan to support?
I signed up, beta me! I have some fun possible applications for large scale redis deployment I'm happy to tell you about over email.
Me too, except it's every six months.
I'm sure it varies very widely depending on whether the male is a name star, an experienced professional, or just some guy who is psyched about the opportunity.

I never fully joined facebook. The account creation process just turned me off with it bugging me for my gmail account.

That and I am not interested in anybody from high school.
If you're lucky they actually taught you CS when they were giving you that CS degree. If you have a passion for creating software then don't worry, you're in a good place, but you've got tons of work ahead of you. Now you'll need to learn an entirely new set of skills. In terms of books I'd recommend Code Complete, Rapid Development (somewhat misnamed but quite good), and Refactoring. Having CS knowledge will give you a leg up because you will be able to apply certain skills and knowledge to hard problems that most programmers have a hard time coming by (compilers, low-level data structures, etc.)

If you're unlucky then you got a pseudo-trade-school education in Bachelor of Science clothing. Sorry to say that you probably got ripped off. But don't worry, if you have a passion for creating software then you can still use self-study to build up the knowledge and skills necessary to become a true software craftsman, and at least you're not starting at square one. Plus, a CS degree still looks good on paper and will help with job searches.

P.S. Learn source control inside and out, it'll pay massive dividends.
Not necessarily a good idea. On an average working day I'll probably use 5 different machines; I could very well trigger an action on one, go off to do something else while waiting for an email (if it wasn't instant, these things often aren't) and come back to it on a different machine altogether.

OK I'm unusual in my usage habits, but I suspect a complete IP filtering (at least without a warning about it) would cause issues.
That's awesome! I've been daydreaming about building something like this for a while now :).

I think a lot of us may have that "problem" as one of the requirements to submit to LAUNCH was to ensure that you did not have a web presence or public launch/description out there. Not sure if that is the same for the tables, but I think a number of us are playing it safe, just in case same rules apply. But your point is totally fair, in some cases (including mine) it's hard to know what is what.
I'm a paying customer and really excited about what these guys are doing. Am sure they'd get a lot of interest at launch.
This is what I want, and I'd love to work on a project like this:

One place to store my blog, pages, messages (long and short), emails, save my IMs and SMSs, pictures, albums, ebooks, docs, files of any kind, all in one place. My whole web presence in one place instead of spread all over the web. Like my own VPS but public, or at least where I can control its levels of privacy.

or perhaps myspace can adopt this idea, well, at least they have the right domain. Perhaps Mozilla? or Ubuntu? they sure would be great hosts, and this would increase traffic to their properties a thousand fold plus other ways of monetization.

We give programmers opportunities to showcase their skills, give measurable substance to their resumes. Right now we are having online programming contest. More features to come would be interactive puzzles.
Our goal is to connect talented programmers, especially new talents without a big network, with companies in need of such talents.

It would be a great opportunity for us.

> The hacker sees facebook as personal, and email/phone public. The average person sees facebook as a public place, and email/phone as a personal channel.

Upvoted just for this. Not sure if it's true or not, but it's a provocative thought.
This isn't creating some brave new world - levelling the playing field for all .. if you believe that you're quite simply bonkers :)

The injustice isn't that some people are being paid less - it's that some people aren't being paid at all.

On top of this there's one person, or company, who is wholly benefiting from the situation, while another takes a cut of the proceeds.

Logically, the system works because some people are willing to work for free. It's rotten.
You might want to take a look at Samuel Clay's NewsBlur project: https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur and see how he handles this problem.
Actually no it isn't because he got exactly what he paid for: A template-like design and a mess of code worth $2K-3K tops.

Instead of saving $22K what he actually did was waste time running an ego-stoking circus for two weeks.
I've done my fair share of it, and while I don't know that we ultimately tackled it 100%, there were plenty of gotchas.

1) Respect etags / last_updated tags. This will save you a ton of bandwidth, for one, and keep you from getting banned by the feeds you're pulling. It's important. What I ended up doing was a different method for new feeds vs. ones I already knew about -- on the initial parse (and subsequent ones too), I would check for an etag or last_modified indicator. If I can't detect anything, I set a poll frequency to something like a half an hour. This kept me from slamming servers that didn't properly implement etags, while I could check headers on the ones that did more frequently.

2) Hang on to your sockets. Opening / closing sockets is expensive for this particular task. What ended up working for us was queueing entries and using the same urllib handle for as many as needed polling at a time. Otherwise, we were flooding the box with open sockets.

3) Use a task queue. My environment was Python, so I had the beautiful Rabbit and Celery to work with. Never ended up having to scale, but the intention was that using a distributed task queue, it was built such that we could just add other nodes to do the fetching tasks if we needed to.
I think a lot of students coast through a CS program and expect to be good at programming when they are done. A student should always have a personal project that he is working on outside of school (even if it is really small). Something that he cannot ask the teacher for help with. That way he has experienced unguided learning and has something to show off at job interviews.
That idea shows a lot of potential and I am very interested to see how it evolves.

Apparently those rates have plummeted due to the wide availability of free amateur porn online.

Edit: Interestingly, whereas open-source code expands the market (and rates) for programmers, open porn destroys the market for porn stars...

I completely agree.

If a company treats the people involved in its business relationships as cheap, expendable commodities - the company is not going to shine.
Who has time? You have your whole life to study it--it's not exactly time pressure.
I'm not sure how current the quoted figures on Wikipedia are, but if they're accurate it looks like the agencies we used add a little bit of a premium to the rates (most of our guys and girls came from adult talent agencies). I can definitely see how non-agency guys wouldn't be able to command as much though. I guess a lot of them have to start off "gay for pay" just to break into the industry.

Was it indexing the faux-enum columns? First thing I would do would be to drop the index if there is one considering it will add very little to the selectivity of the query.

Call me crazy, but I strongly suspect that the feedback system virtues that helped Stack Overflow contributors develop their writing skills will not manifest on writers.stackexchange.com.

Many writing queries fall into the taste or reference citation categories, which aren't amenable to the correctness criteria of SO. Not to mention that there are already plenty of writing resources on the Web, so I'm skeptical of the new launch being able to distinguish itself.

Not true.

Generally, a female porn actress will make less than $1,000 for a standard scene and a few $100 more if it includes anal. Male porn actors make around $200-300 for a scene.

Also, it's not "an hour or so of work". A scene can take up to 6 hours to shoot, and a full day never includes more than two or three scenes. There's also time spent pre- and post-shoot.

Of course, the famous actor will make more, but just as in every other industry, there are very few of them compared to the total.
$2,000 per scene are what studios pay to contract girls. Typical shoots are like $500.

I wonder about that. I view our (lack of) reaction as mature, not passive. People died in Greece and they burned all kinds of things. They still have a huge debt to pay back. We're taking it like grown ups and having an election.
Yeah, to get on the main stage you need to LAUNCH for the first time on the main stage. That's the 1.0 competition.

For 2.0, you have to LAUNCH something new (i.e. a pivot, version 2.0 of your software) on the main stage for the first time.

The reason for this is that if you launch on the web the no one will come to the event.

As a group the startups agree only to have landing pages and to do very private betas---and no pre-briefing the press.

This means everyone is in their seats for the presentations and there is a LOT of energy in the room.

Conferences like DEMO let folks show boring stuff on stage that everyone has seen already... that why folks say it sucks so much. Well, that and the $20k price tag and absurd contract.
I agree. My daughter, a sophomore in high school, sent me a paper for review before printing. I made her re-write it from scratch. The problem was that the assignment was simple but vague: write a 1-2 page paper on the civil rights movement, At first glance, that assignment description doesn't sound, bad, but 1-2 pages to a high school student can be interpreted as "fill 1-2 pages with words".

I had her pick 3 points she wanted to make, do a little bit of online research on each point to develop a paragraph on two on each, and then add real introduction and conclusion paragraphs.

It's a simple formula that they teach in schools, but they don't reinforce when they give writing assignments. The assignment would have been clearer if the teacher had asked for 3-5 major influences on the civil rights movement. Sometimes you get what you ask for.

The nice thing was that, afterward, my daughter said that this way was a lot easier. BS'ing is hard work! One of the things I've noticed in both school and the workplace is that a lot of people expend more energy trying to avoid work then it would take just to do the work in the first place.

>Neither banks nor consumers should get them

Most of these are high street banks (equivalent to S+L) that were making housing loans. You want to tell pensioners that their life savings are gone and the government is not going to do anything?

It might work - but it also means people will stop putting their money into banks, which means no credit cards, no business loans, no mortgages, no saving, no insurance.
So everybody will only deal in cash which means no taxes.

Admittedly ireland is probably closer to a 12th century barter economy than the rest of europe - but I don't think it really wants to go there.
I've seen this kind of attitude a fair bit from postgres users and admins, especially as relates to replication. I was told it was a feature I didn't need, didn't really want, didn't understand, etc. I could accomplish the same thing by rsync, there were third-party patches to do it, etc. None of them actually solved the problem of wanting a live, hot spare that I could do reporting or reads against. Eventually they got defensive and hostile, accusing me of trolling or being a MySQL fanboy.

Now, of course, Postgres had a rudimentary replication implementation, and it's a great new feature and we're all excited about it, etc.

I'm not trying to say anything I'll about Postgres itself, or even the core developers, but this attitude doesn't always help.

I am interested in becoming a CIO and would like to know, do you think it is better to focus on management training or getting a technical foundation first.
"Big bonuses are still the norm at American banks even though it was their bad bets that led the U.S. to its current economic mess."

I agree wholeheartedly, but there are _so_ many people who readily (and hastily) blame "dumb and poor" people who shouldn't have gotten mortgages, Fannie and Freddie (US loan guarantors) who backed those mortgages, and one rogue liberal US representative (Barney Frank) who somehow bullied the entire 500-member legislative branch and then President Bush into allowing more mortgages to be handed out to poor people, thus causing the worldwide financial crisis.

Seriously, that's what people actually believe. What can be done to convince them that it's way, WAY more complicated than that?
Well, bang out 100,000 words and you have a novel. (Also known as the James Joyce approach.) You can't fail at novel writing. A weld or solder joint can leak or disconnect, but a novel can't suddenly stop being a novel.

Whether you can write a novel that is compelling or sellable or worthwhile is another story (pun) altogether, of course.

MIT OpenCourseWare Launches iPhone App for Video Lectures
There's a great book written by a civil servant in Ireland's foreign ministry in the 80s.

Sure, it can take 6 hours if you're doing more of a scripted type scene, but every shoot I've been to has been ~45 minutes of filming cut down to a 30 minute scene in post (it was all reality porn). There was definitely some waiting involved though.

I'm not saying you're wrong about the rates (and it does seem like they've dropped a lot lately after looking into it), but I'm either grossly misremembering or we paid a premium for our talent. I believe it was the latter, because the company definitely liked to spend money.

As far as things she said that you are not happy with, try to stand back from it, dissociate your self from it, consider it as feedback, did anything she said actually pertain to you, or is it her interpretation? If it is something directly about you, do you wish to carry on the same way or would you like to make a change based on that feedback? I know this sounds clinical, but that is what will help, if you are having trouble with separating the emotions from what she said you might try using visualization to dissociate yourself from the emotions.
There's no reason Facebook Connect should leak any information more than anything else (like your Gmail inbox).

> Besides, why would I want my friends to know that I'm not confident enough to approach someone I had a crush on?

Using Facebook Connect does not automatically equals spamming user's activity stream. Besides, this wouldn't be the most embarrassing app on Facebook by a long stretch.

Actually, I'm not fan of Facebook myself (and I don't have an account), but I must admit Facebook Connect would be perfect for this webapp. As @vessenes mentioned this would solve quite a few potential problems, like matching (different email addresses, spelling errors; while with Facebook it's unique account id). But also seeing your crash's avatar could be much more engaging than just typing names. And since SecretPoke's business model seems to be paying for extra crushes, I'm going to bet users presented with their full & interactive contact list are more likely to make an emotional decision and take out their credit card or agree to spend their Facebook currency.
