But Redis should have at least as much RAM as you have data and will only use the data from RAM. You cannot swap or store it on a slower disk, while Mongo can use a disk file.

Redis can backup or journal to disk, but this is just so the data is persistent between restarts, not used in queries or runtime.

* Updated based on comments: I originally wrote that redis requires as much ram as data (technically more) but I'm correcting this to state that Redis CAN use disk, but Salvatore, the man behind redis, publicly states that he does not recommend it as a solution.

This is incorrect. Redis can swap out to virtual memory when it runs out of RAM. Although, it should be leveraged with some care (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2606096)

Inside Google Search
For mission critical enterprise web apps you can always use the Citrix option. Run an obsolete, tested browser on an intranet server and let employees access it from their desktops (looks just like a local browser but runs remotely). Lock down the network access from that Citrix server to only authorized web apps to eliminate the security risk from unpatched security holes.

Then you can keep the main desktop browsers up to date without worrying about frequent regression testing.

A note: I'm 10 years removed from the enterprise. It seems to me, organizations who respond to change are the ones best staffed, skilled and tooled to weather change.

The FF fighters are in a tough place. It seems the momentum shifted and is on the side of rapid and responsible products closer to what is a SaaS offering, but desktop software is beginning to deliver updates near SaaS pace. Yet a major version number isn't reflective of features/functionality these days. It's a schedule. Perhaps that's the most unnerving aspect -- shifting rev numbers. It's not difficult, but takes a leap of faith and sales to your manager.

I'm guessing the organizations will have to make a major IT expenditure to meet the One True Path -- not buying into a vendor's plan, but making your own. A vendor should get you closer to your vision, but not dictate it. Ten years ago, enterprises got burned on web apps. You bought into a vision. Now, you can pick the best of the best and relatively cheaply, integrate them. I remember a multi-year, multi-million dollar project to get Siebel and JD Edwards to play well. I dearly hope it's not the case. There are young billion dollar companies running on commodity hardware and software with profit margin inbetween.

3 Tips For Managing Change
Yeah, much better uses for $6k....
Every time I see Blogger.com I'm always shocked that the site still looks exactly like it did years ago -- it's had even has less TLC than Yahoo! has given Flickr. It really speaks volumes about a lack of focus at Google -- in the time Blogger has atrophied we've seen the likes of Movable Type, Wordpress and Tumblr arrive on the scene -- so that's at least three generations of blog that blogger.com is behind at current count. Honestly someone squatting on a blogger namespace seems almost as silly as setting up a myspace page at this point...
Thank you for the link. I actually do remember reading that, and I guess I completely forgot it was even possible. After reading about it, I told myself that redis will be in-memory only for the solution I was using it for. I'd definitely be curious to see some real world performance numbers for redis using the disk VM before considering it an option.
My concern would be that if the wrong disks get imaged (either by real bumbling, or erring on the side of over-collecting, or calculated-hoovering-that-could-be-portrayed-as-an-honest-mistake-later), the disk data could then wind up in some broader forensic analysis pipeline, or long-term evidence archive, and then be eventually misused.

For example, if they think they may have imaged too much, do they promptly and irreversibly wipe the extra? Or keep it, just in case their assessment of its relation to the current investigation changes again? Could current or future automated criminal-activity-analysis engines be run against every old disk image in their possession, ignoring the details of how/why they were collected?
OpenBSD PF for example can do round-robin load balancing.
It's not about cutting edge or not cutting edge. The same inconsistencies are present in implementations for all the major specifications.

It's worse in most cases as there aren't fully built out tests, so it's even more difficult to converge implementations to the specifications.
Ask HN: Turning an Android app into a company
I have what I think is a pretty neat idea for a group of apps for Android and I'm fairly sure that there is a market for the apps.

Is it possible to take a group of apps that sell for $0.99-$1.99 each and turn them into a profitable company? It seems like you would need something that makes more money.
To be honest I see this as the canary in the coalmine for "enterprise" web apps.

If they are so brittle as to be this dependent upon browser versions, versus throw the new version on a machine and run it through your browser tests with say selenium, how can it be depended upon?

To me the root problem is internal web apps with atrocious testing, or more importantly lack thereof.
Regarding vector graphics performance, there's a weird way to use SVG that is sometimes much faster than Canvas: use string concatenation to build up a huge blob of SVG markup and then splat it into the browser all at once by setting innerHTML on an SVG element. We rely on this trick for UI performance in our web app. In fact, we do it on every scroll and/or mousemove. The amount of computation you can get away with in JS without noticeably slowing down the renderer is nothing short of astonishing.

Given how clunky SVG can be, it's surprising that this technique works so well. I believe the performance gain comes from batching everything you want to render into a single ginormous round trip between JS and native code. With Canvas, you don't have that option, so you have to cross the grand canyon with every call. The equivalent in SVG would be making a series of tweaks to the SVG DOM, and that's even slower. Much better to rebuild the entire DOM yourself in text and overwrite the old one.

As a bonus, you can take the same approach in IE using VML. Though the markup is different, the SVG and VML models are close to isomorphic - not close enough to abstract over without an annoying impedance mismatch, but much closer than either is to Canvas. Thus this technique affords a good way to get graphics performance out of both the modern browsers (SVG) and the pre-9 IEs (VML) for as long as the latter are around.

People seem to like downvoting you. Anyway, I agree with you on the mostly-the-same part, and I think it's a derivative work anyway. The article's "You're just copying what was copied" is an interesting argument that I agree with but it's not really relevant to the copyright laws--again applying to a programming example, just because you bought a licensed copy doesn't mean someone can copy your copy without a license.

Weeeeel, osx was on an 18 month cycle of releases up until about 10.5ish. Then they toned it down, mainly I think due to there not being much to do oswise. (COUGH, memory dedup in the vm subsystem COUGH).

'Digital Universe' Projected to Grow by 1.8 Zettabytes in 2011
The Take by Naomi Klein is a really interesting documentary about workers in Argentina breaking into the factories their corrupt bosses closed down after the economic collapse and working them themselves (sometimes having to barricade themselves in with the police outside and smuggle the product out the back of the factory to complicit neighbors who took it to distributors for them).
This review would have been much better if it was "60 minutes with my ChromeBook". He's complaining about 20 second boot time - on the first boot, when it's busy initializing profiles and whatnot. Had he timed the system after restarting, he likely would have measured a boot time around 5-10 seconds. My Cr-48 takes somewhere around five seconds.

A rushed, nonchalant review is hardly better than no review.

Hm, is there an archive of old versions of units.dat anywhere? Occasionally units get deleted from it - I used to keep old versions but I'd forgotten about this some time ago and haven't done so in a while. (Also that was several hard drive crashes ago so I no longer have the copies I made.)
The core issue is this - enterprises can reduce testing and maintenance costs for their internal apps because they can control and standardize their browser enviroment. Sites that cater to users at large (like a yahoo) have no control over what browsers their users choose. So, they have to bear significantly higher testing costs.

I haven't heard a persuasive argument for enterprises to change their web development practice and bear significantly higher testing costs. So my expectation is that they will continue on the path that they have been on traditionally.

My current project is Blogumbus (check it out at: blogumbus.com). It's a type of blog search engine with a graphical layout.

The most important thing to me was the availability of domain names. I wanted a dot com, not a .ly .me .whatever else. My intended audience includes lots of people who aren't necessarily the best with computers, and that audience still thinks dot com is the only thing out there.

Now I'll tell you the story.

I knew I the product had to do with blogs, so I tried to brainstorm names that had blog in it. Obvious things like combining two words, e.g. blogcloud or blogstar, were all taken.

It suddenly occurred to me that I my product would help people "circumnavigate the blog-o-sphere" while I was out sailing with my dad. This made me think of bloggellan (from Magellan). This name had the unfortunate side effect of two g's next to each other. So I brainstormed a bunch of other explorers and settled on Blogumbus (for Columbus).

I'm not sure yet how good of a name it is, but it's at least tolerable.

This old debate again? I suppose it's been a while since I've argued it, so I might as well jump in. :-)

It's incredibly naive to say that crappy code that gets the job done is generally good. Ok, sure. Sometimes you just have to roll up your sleeves and write an ugly hack to get the job done. But if you keep it up, you spend more time maintaining the ugly hacks than you do coding new stuff.

So here's my advice:

1. Stop. Breathe.

2. Think about what you're doing before you do it.

3. Do it.

This has worked wonders for me. It's incredible how easy it is to not write crappy code, and it pays off. And for the record, I'm one of the biggest instant gratification junkies I know. I'm not saying one needs to write good code because I don't want to get things done.

It's only weird if you think about it.
Consulting can be a dream or a nightmare existence and rapidly flipping between the two depending to whom, when and for how much you sell your consulting services.

With such a wide range of skills, you need to define what you are best at, enjoy the most and who your potential clients are and then go out and network, market, etc. In my experience being a jack-of-all-trades doesn't pay well enough. You need to clearly define your specialization and of course the value you bring to your clients.

The biggest risk to your dream is getting used to a high spend lifestyle (because you can afford it) and then having a drought of well paid work. The frustration and panic can be debilitating.
