That's an interesting observation. I wonder if that's true of normal economies as well and that final agents of economy, people, would ideally want in-game/in-life situations in which they can "win" for value to be produced.

Ah right. I probably can't see it because of my AdBlock. Cheers
In most small to medium sized businesses and startups the developers and IT admins have access to absolutely everything!! Developers can see things and run reports that even the CEO cannot see. IT staff often have access to all the passwords and data of all of the users too. I'm certainly not saying its 'right', just this lack of security from internal staff is more the rule than the exception.

I think I see your point, and it has merit ... but ... :)

in a way, the 'find' program is like what you envision, except it's just for files. That means that someone somewhere along the road, had the same idea/problem (but limited to files) as you and whipped up a parser to produce that meta-data. That particular parser proved to be so useful to so many people, it became it's own program.

There's more than 40 years of sofware-"evolution" contained in unix, and apparently retrieving structured on the command-line has only proven universally useful for files. Unix has outlived many at the time more modern operating systems, and I think it's partly because it lacked a "grand unifying vision".
Instead it has a "small, quick&dirty unifying vision" of which "flat text processing" on the commandline is a central part. It has turned out to be the greatest common denominator for being able to write programs, that might be quick and dirty oneliners, but ultimately they got the job done. And only those tiny little utilities that proved to be universally useful were developed into bigger more stuctured programs.

I'm not saying you idea is without merit, but it does apply the principle of "this concept A is useful for this particular problem-set. Let's apply it natively to all problem-sets so it can be useful there too!" ( in a way like Java did with the OO concept).

When simpler visions and concepts are actually implemented in the end it usually turns out one has been replacing witchcraft with voodoo.
Hey, if I search for "foobar" - https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=foobar then there's no yellow box, google doesn't have any relevant ads!

But if I search for "life insurance quietly" - https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=life+insurance+quietly - ADS!

This is a total non-story, caused by not understanding keyword matching algorithms. If you add words to a query, it turns out your query becomes less related to potential keywords that have been targeted for adverts, and this drop in relevance might be enough to cross the threshold where adverts are shown at all

Some good points, not all correct.. but we're seeing some major sites out right now that, if I were invested in them at the VC level, I'd be looking at the CTO to justify their decisions for using Heroku/AWS without at least a non-cloud backup. I may even be looking to fire someone.

>> Kudos, you also worry about hardware all of the time

Patently untrue.

I haven't thought about hardware once in three years because I have an admin whom I've personally trained that worries for me. He knows how to scale hardware and software because I've showed him how to do it properly, and he has earned my trust.

I get to spend every minute of every work hour coding solutions. If you're a business owner and YOU still worry about hardware, then you need to fire your admins and hire rockstar-level admins. My admin spends no more than 2 hours a day on colo management because he does it the right way.

>> Congrats. Inevitably, a UPS will overload, a switch will die & you'll eat some downtime too. It happens -- build redundancy into your application / service to ensure that thy facility is irrelevant when the time comes.

I use external DNS to handle dynamic re-routing to an alternate colo should connectivity or power to this one fail. Even with this setup, it would cost more than 2 times as much to do what I do on the cloud, even if I used EC2 committed instances.

What's important is NOT to have NO downtime. What's important is to be PERCEIVED to have no downtime.

Customers should never see downtime from you. It should be transparent to them, giving you a 100% uptime public personna.
I don't think they took into account the bot farming which causes a huge disparity between normal users farming and them getting 6mil gold/hr.

i dont know why nobody ever talks about pyjs.org. to me it takes the best ideas of gwt, simplifies it, and then lets you use python instead of java. sure its a little bleeding edge, and not being heavily developed (because it already works good enough?), but who cares. i dont need the worlds fanciest framework with new features every five minutes. i dont need pythons metaclasses for browser apps. i just need simple, bare bones widgets that wrap html and to be able to write python. javascript is fine, but python is just so much more productive. syntactic sugar counts. readability counts. and python will never run native in the browser so we all need to move on.

pyjs works great now, and makes one highly productive. it just needs a bigger community of users (and developers?). so anyone asking the types of questions raised here should try it. then you can bash it on hn, right? :)
I've tried to tackle this very same problem. I've been doing a lot of UX work for a native Mac OS, which would allow you to design similar to PS but use a preview using a Webkit engine.

You can check out the mock I've been working on via my Dribbble site (http://cl.ly/HOrs) and the larger version is attached below that shot as well. If anyone is interested we should definitely sync up and tackle this problem.

I think you you have here is off to a good start but is definitely too basic if you are intending it to take over PS. Would be great for simple prototyping sites though.
ya. non-story. I see other examples of things that have the right side empty and others that have something even when you include "quietly". Weak sauce.

But not everyone using heroku / aws / etc. have this same guy, trained by yourself, available. Thus, they use a service that makes that aspect of it invisible to them.

Downtime still happens irregardless.

Admittedly, I don't worry about it as much as I'd let on -- but there's still some aspects that I dig into by choice to make certain everything is in good working order, and that there are ample replacements on-site to mitigate the 'worst case scenario'. As a CEO, I fight on behalf of my users & clients daily, even if that means wasting mental bandwidth on what might be defined as someone elses' job.

In a perfect world none of us would have to worry about hardware or downtime. Heroku is responsible for Heroku, and AWS is responsible for AWS -- and every user thereof is responsible for themselves and their operations.

Colo. might be the answer for some of them, but it's not a perfect world either.

Briox using BootStrapToday for complex Project Management
I used to write 10-20kloc projects in javascript. Don't know if its large enough for you but i dont feel any problem to maintain large js applictions written by good programmers. Try CoffeeScript anyway.
BTW "jQuery programmer" sounds obnoxiously we are javascript programmers.
Based in Tel Aviv, Israel, Briox is developing an application platform, Riversip that is used to deploy many different mobile applications. They are successfully using BootStrapToday for Project Management in a way that is commendable and which makes us worthy of a pat on the back.
Hard drive maker moves into the wireless arena
Fair point -- it's unfair to stereotype Java developers. In my mind, I meant "most developers" and I happened to be talking about Java. But that distinction wasn't clear.

It's obvious that (in the OP's case) using JavaScript didn't help the problem either -- but that was my point. Bad design is bad design. I am not making a strong claim that JS is better.

Also there's a saying that in America great family wealth is typically squandered in three generations. This isn't always true of course, but basically when you're born with a silver spoon in hand, you do have plenty of doors open for you. But you also tend to have less ambition, less grit, less will to survive or die trying etc. Obviously there are many many exceptions but generally it helps to be a self-starter and many self-starters come from less means.

You can bet that they'll integrate this with SharePoint. I don't necessarily think direct revenues from Yammer had anything to do with the decision. This isn't the first aquisition they've done this with - see Fast Search And Transfer a couple of years ago. The SharePoint product line generates huge revenues for Microsoft, so they could easily justify spending a lot of money on something like this.

So now we'll have another huge addition to this already humongous monstrosity. But I guess it's a good thing for Microsoft if they want to grow SharePoint into a SAP-like product that is everywhere and impossible to get rid of. Seems like a sensible purchase to me, although at a somewhat high cost. I think they paid 200MM for FAST a couple of years ago, for advanced search features.
Cool :)

Yeah, that was amusing and caused me to rewind the audiobook and verify what I'd just heard. Reamde "rips off" Google Earth, but that just basically ripped off "some sci-fi novel" anyway so it's okay. Kind of like the moment in the Ready Player One audiobook where Wil Wheaton reads about future Wil Wheaton being elected as basically co-president of the Internet.

Can anyone with any ember experience comment on the differences between the two? I've been doing Ember for the past few months and my team is about to convert two Backbone projects into Ember for consistency. Based on what I've read, I'm starting to wish we had gone with AngularJS instead of EmberJS, but I'm sure each has it's pros and cons. At this point in the game, I think it's a bit too late for my team to switch frameworks unless there's a really compelling reason to do so.
Yup.

Especially when you consider that MS lost a lot of good talent by putting some hiring on hold and especially by forgoing nearly all raises, bonuses, and promotions for about 2 years during the recent economic downturn. Even while they had tens of billions of dollars in the bank. They should have used that war chest to project their strength while everyone else was showing their weakness. Instead they made a cowardly choice and drove a lot of good developers elsewhere.

SQLite should absolutely be used in production, where it makes sense. The one area where sqlite has a big disadvantage is concurrent writes. If you have read-only data, cached data, etc. then sqlite can happily be used in a high traffic production system, with millions of rows and many GB of data. It's also a good store for configuration data, or something like an admin backend. The portability of sqlite database files is a really nice feature.
Also don't try to analyze arguments in an incident report manner, "which misunderstanding started this, why did it escalate, how can we avoid it". Doesn't work.
