Why using boost is overkill? You use std::XXX and the STL, do you consider these too? For the two cases you mentioned, boost comes with nice functions to solve them (lexical_cast, which uses stringstream and the boost tokenizer).

tokenizer<> tok(s);
for(tokenizer<>::iterator beg=tok.begin();beg!=tok.end();++beg){
cout << *beg << "\n";
}

It surely beats the C approach of handling pointers my hand, or the ugly interface of strtok / strtoX (X=l,d,etc). At least in C++ you can use the same function for any number type.

I see the need of C (or ASM), but with char/string manipulation it loses any battle with any other language, except probably speed.

Would you compare Goliath to EM HttpServer or other options?
but it's better than nothing

Is it? I'd be afraid of a backlash caused by some minority of users who had e.g. bought tweetie but never actually tweeted using it (just for reading tweets or whatever), had changed twitter accounts since, etc., plus the people claiming to be part of this group in an attempt to get something for free or whatever.

Realistically, they're probably going to have to do something about this much-hated "feature" for everyone anyway.
that sounds like a good workflow, thanks for the comment

Pff, it's only available for people in the US.
I'm building a web-based IDE for Raphael in CS. My big pain point: when users define a function, JS Shell returns the JS version of the function. If the user types in a function name without calling it, they see the JS definition. Since one can't go from JS -> CS, I can't figure out a good way to keep JS away from the user.

Fearing iTunes-Like Domination, Hollywood Plots Netflix’s Downfall
My fiance and I write mobile apps together, so we have a pile of iphones and androids, and one Google Voice number that rings them all. It's like a throwback to when a family just had one household line. Except sometimes we're not together so we both have to guess who should answer based on the caller ID.

Even worse, all of our text messages go only to my email inbox. Luckily, we get fewer than five a month.

It does really annoy our friends, but most have figured it out after two years of this setup. Mostly we just communicate via email and gchat.

It is pretty crazy when the phone rings at home though, Gizmo goes off on both our computers, the landline and two extensions start ringing, and the three mobile phones.
The original example is actually kind of bad and doesn't demonstrate puppet's abstraction facilities.

You can define a custom resource, for example "system_file" that provides a default "root:root, mask 444" permissions such that you just have to define a source and destination for every file, overriding the default permissions when you want.

define system_file($mode = 444, $owner = root, $group = root, $content = '', $source = '', $ensure = 'present') {

file { $name:
owner => $owner,
group => $group,
mode => $mode,
ensure => $ensure
}

if $source != '' { File[$name] { source => $source } }
if $content != '' { File[$name] { content => $content } }

}

So in the article's example, it would look like this:

system_file { "/etc/ntp.conf":
source => "puppet:///ntpd/ntp.conf",
require => Package["ntp"]
}

Or even

system_file { "/etc/ntp.conf":
source => "$configfiles/ntpd/ntp.conf",
require => Package["ntp"]
}

Where $configfiles might be the puppet server or some other location. One of the things you get with puppet is access to any of the local host properties that can be discovered with facter, so you can dynamically configure something like a source file.

Experiences with wireless carriers in the United States seem heavily dependent on location and personal travel routes, which is why anecdotal evidence about coverage is generally not very useful. Comparing their coverage maps, it looks clear that AT&T technically has more network coverage:

AT&T: http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/#?type=voice

T-Mobile: http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx

If I lived in an urban area (where T-Mobile is likely to have already deployed both standard 3G and HSDPA+ coverage, and AT&T's network has a higher than average proportion of heavy iPhone users), my experiences with either carrier are likely to be different than if I lived and stayed in the suburbs or rural areas (where T-Mobile is more likely to either have EDGE coverage or nothing at all).
I very distinctly remember my first instinct when learning how to ride a bike was to turn opposite of the fall. The same could be said for when I first learned how to drive on snow. It only takes a couple bad falls before your instinct changes with bikes and cars, but I don't think people make that realization with burn out.
That, and the dependence on a stable data connection to initiate a call, and sometimes DTMF (dialpad) doesn't work with automated systems (reproducible, so i'm not crazy). To alleviate the slow messaging sometimes i'll use GV's SMS gateway which for some reason is faster than texting with the GV app itself.

Kids aren't for everyone. For that matter, neither are marriage, startups or traveling. The only difference with kids is there is no "undo" and you can't quit. If you don't want to live a selfless lifestyle, don't have kids.

So what? I'm on AT&T and have a 3G connection everywhere but inside concrete bunkers in my city. But that says nothing about coverage. You can say coverage is about HAVING "bars"; better coverage refers to having more area with bars. Coverage of an entire carrier can't be determined by a single case.

Additionally, measuring "bars" is useless to the measurement of coverage (1) because the bars on one phone could mean something totally different than the bars on another phone (see iPhone reception miscalculation) and (2) because how many bars you have, or signal strength or reception, is determined in part by how close you are to the signal source. So what if you have perfect reception if you live right next to a cell tower?
The new Optimus V looks like pretty much the best deal in the country for a smartphone right now, but I did see people complaining about losing their data connection when the phone idled.

I'm on T-Mobile prepaid for ~$25 a month because I already had a gsm phone (iPhone) but otherwise I'd probably switch.

Given the handle I assume debating this with you is a losing proposition, but - it's not a matter of how far you fall, relatively. The middle class person who falls into poverty may lose the ability to feed themselves. The wealthy person who falls into the middle class does not.

That said, I would rate it as highly unlikely that a truly wealthy individual could end up falling into the middle class through anything short of titanic ineptitude.

I bet that your 1993 486 had 256KB of L2 cache on the motherboard, so from 256KB to 2MB is less than 10 times, for 500 times the RAM and 2000 times the hard disk size.
But read the article - the author didn't find a better job, he stopped working altogether. Yes, he was futzing around on his "farm," but he wasn't being paid for it and wasn't working a "job" in the traditional sense.

Moving jobs is always an option, yes, but people who are truly burned out won't suddenly be better because they changed jobs - the issue goes deeper than that, and a mere change of venue won't fix it.
But if that were (legally) true, wouldn't that mean we couldn't have copyright at all, even with the enumerated power? I mean, if there was an enumerate power saying congress had the ability to regulate political speech I'd assume the first amendment would have taken precedence over that. But then again IANAL.
Yes of course not cloud in particular, but web services in general. It just gave me pause because if Google messed this up, how many other services with less man power that we trust with our data have similar vulnerabilities?
Javascript is understood by most developers these days. CoffeeScript is pretty.

(Edit: I don't think that "pretty" is a bad thing. I just... when is it the most important thing, or even high up on the priority list? Pretty isn't bad, but if it means learning an entirely new syntax and immature toolchain, its value for all but personal projects is unclear to me. I see that others value it differently, and I'm trying to understand why.)
Not sure why everyone is so negative. Yes, it's a "bad deal" in that you're getting paid way below what you're worth.

But normally, if you want to move to the Valley, you either have to try to find a job before you get out here, or you have to get enough money to live for a couple months, then find somewhere to stay, and then find a job.

Not everyone has enough savings to support that. Not everyone likes that level of uncertainty. Instead, you can work below your market rate for 3 months (ie. not really long enough to be significant), get a cool experience, get a bit of equity, not have to find a place before getting out here, and then have plenty of time to line up a job and a permanent place to live.

I can definitely see how a rational person would accept that deal.
A generic welcome message doesn't improve the communication of a product's offering nor improve functionality in this case. This is valuable real estate that is being given up. Additionally, you want the product to appear stable, successful and applicable to the perceived user's problem regardless of where the user comes from. In short, it looks desperate and inefficient.

What I would do is subtly tailor an interface to two major user's persona expected to visit on press day. Then set up A/B testing on conversions and use the traffic to your advantage.

I vaguely remember that in my previous career in grocery management that diaper companies did something similar. I don't remember the brands/companies, but one brand would be positioned at the high end while another was at the low end. The high end had all the 'features' - moisture sensors, velco tabs, etc. This allowed the one company to garner more shelf space, and thus eyeballs, which brought higher market share.
It is not. Unless for trivial things, using C++ for a system with 48KB of RAM is completely non sense (48KB is quite good amount of memory for plain C but not for C++).
Generic rant from someone who doesn't actually understand (and perhaps has not even heard?) the arguments people make against C++.
Is your only basis for feeling that people that like CoffeeScript don't "get" JavaScript the `class` syntax? If that's the case, it's a minor feature of CoffeeScript. I'd say the rest of the features it offers fall on the dynamic/functional side of things more than the strong+static typed/classical OOP side ( list comprehensions, splats, treating everything as an exression, etc.).

evma_httpserver is definitely an alternative and one we used early on at PR. Having said that, we migrated away from it because it didn't provide us with the flexibility we needed to do keepalive, pipelining, etc - it basically provides just a very thin layer on top of an EM connection, hence the minimal API and functionality.

Thin would be an alternative to Goliath as well, although we chose to switch to a different parser and also to add the Fiber logic/wrappers right into the framework.

The way I think about it is: if Thin is an app server, then Goliath is more of a minimal framework which you can use to go from start to finish in if you need to bring up an API endpoint. That includes, configuration, routing if you need it, validation, etc.

The pricing scheme is (number of users * $0.001 * C) where C is a multiplier that has changed with time. On top of that a significant portion of total revenue comes from archival accounts.

Assuming the fee as a function of users is linear and started at zero, the average user is paying 1/2 of the current price. So if the current price is $9.25, the average user is paying $4.625 per month. So they have made 9250*$4.625 = $42,781.25.
Doesn't seem that Facebook, Twitter, or Hot or Not would emerge from that class, since the business models were not clear from the start (or now for that matter).
Take the lead.

A team must be flexible enough to compensate when sh*t hits the fan and a founder still has priorities to hit the road and continue to build corporate infrastructure, secure investments and make sales. There is no choice--giving your "baby" to unknown parties at a critical stage is introducing too much risk into the equation with no known potential for success.

Before departing, have a strategy session to collaborate and prioritize issues with the technology. If possible, call in as many favors as possible to bring spot expert assistance on core issues (i.e. a database guru for multi tenant join optimization) to give your existing team a boost.
As I understand it, they don't believe that the 1st Amendment was meant to supersede the Copyright Clause itself, but they acknowledge that they exist "in tension" so they try to find a balance between the two, rather than jettisoning the Copyright Clause in favor of the 1st Amendment.

That said, IANAL, so listen to grellas if he corrects me.

Of course it's a straw man argument. Again, I never said that the solution was to force children to fend for themselves from 12 years old, or your latest number, 13.

What I said was: "What's evolutionarily normal is to have children who are surrounded by, and interact mostly, with adults, in a group where many of the people are your family. The adults bring you up to their level."

And "How can you learn that stupidity leads to crisis if you're never allowed to make your own decisions?"

Children from impoverished backgrounds in the United States are raised, such as it is, with incredible differences compared to children of well-off parents. They have a "30 million word gap" in terms of words spoken to them. They are not asked questions that cause them to think. They do not receive adequate nutrition.

You can't compare a poor child whose parents ignored him with a middle class child whose parents let him make his own decisions, like whether or not to do his homework, go to bed at a reasonable hour, earn and spend his own money, pay for some of his own bills, prepare his own lunches & do his own laundry, make dinner for the rest of the family, clean his room or not, work at a meaningful apprenticeship, date who he wanted when he felt ready to date, get piercings or dye hair, wear what he wants, etc.

In short: you are a troll. I hope you are joking but if you don't realize that you are a troll, you seriously need to deepen your thinking on subjects because you're just flapping about on the surface of a topic but you think you're making waves.

We've been extremely happy with SQL Ledger - http://www.sql-ledger.com/

It's open-source and it's PostgreSQL-backed, so it's easy to automate various bookkeeping phenomena by attaching triggers to SQL Ledger table changes that propagate elsewhere, or vice versa. Its interface is very web 1.0-ish, and in virtue of that, very fast and responsive.

It's definitely rather low-level in the sense that it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot with it. It's like programming in C instead of C# or Java. It requires understanding double-entry accounting and GAAP at a fairly erudite fundamental level, because unlike QuickBooks, there are no glossy splash screens or inline thought balloons to teach you Accounting 101. It's also lacking in many high-level features such as a payroll module, and has fairly rudimentary stubs for many others. It is, however, quite good at managing parts, assembles and inventory if tangible goods are your thing. It's a little more problematic for a service company; outside of AR and AP, I tend to think of it as little more than just a general ledger. That may not be giving it enough credit, though; it does have quite a lot of features.

Nevertheless, it is a great tool for a startup comfortable with using home-grown open-source solutions.
You don't need calculus. The mean price per user is $9.25 / 2, so they have taken in about 9250 * $9.25 / 2 = $42,781.25.
