no way!

The main flaw behind this blog post is wanting to measure the effectiveness of a pair-programming activity as mere output

This is a great piece of advice. Thank you very much. I'll try and investigate this opportunity.

Anyway, if you're interested most of the code in the web-service relies on:

http://github.com/alediaferia/prefixmap

If you look at the Documentation section do you manage to find the API post you're looking for?

Can I use that as description for the service? :)

This an API, jQuery autocomplete is a Javascript library. Typeflow is inteded for big amounts of strings to autocomplete. It lets you push a list of strings to the typeflow API and exposes an endpoint for querying it via an HTTP API. You can easily make it working with Twitter Typeahead or jQuery autocomplete leaving the computation of the suggestion to the API.

Thank you for letting me know. I don't have an iOS device handy to try but I'll investigate anyway to make it working on mobile as well. Should work on FF and Chrome desktop though. :)

Honestly, Softpedia decided to write a review about it. We didn't even reach out to them.

The project is currently unmaintained, and we may open-source part of it.

I remember the time when I implemented this and even more with a friend, all on our own:

http://nemboapp.com

We've never had chance to push this though...

Why?

This is awesome resource. Thank you for sharing.

The author must have been undergoing some bad moments so far. The post seems just the outcome of a more complex series of inputs. Most points are not valid from my own personal point of view but still may have been good points if written in a more objective way.

BTW, the post is gone.

Yeah, that's my concern as well.

I don't think I'll put much effort in this project since this is barely a proof of concept but there's a couple of points I would like to dig if I ever find time:

1. How to reduce collections generations?

2. How to take advantage of the machine cores to execute the Map/Reduce operations?

I'm not afraid of porn btw.

The snark and heavy handed moderation helps keeping content useful and correct.

As a little side node I'd personally rename main.go to core.go. Plus, I think there's room for splitting main.go into more little pieces to ease maintainability.

Changelog features awesome stuff: https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.5

Despite being always interested in seeing benchmarks comparing new languages I don't feel like basing my choices on such benchmarks. From my experience it's usually a matter of how comprehensive is the ecosystem surrounding the language. Anyway, great article.

Why not making this list open source? I mean, this is not complete at all and you won't be able to fill it in all on your own. Just my 2 cents :)

Tried EventMachine in the past but not with this particular use case. Actually my nginx+passenger configuration allowed for 12 workers, but I may have counted wrong the running instances at the time of the deadlock. Anyway, what is interesting to me is trying to understand how actually Rails handles and releases MySQL connections. In fact, even with the timeout dance I implemented I didn't seem to succeed in releasing MySQL connections.

I'm sorry for the broadness of my question. When writing it down I was thinking about utility softwares for sharing files or for taking notes that nowadays have usually both client-side applications and web-based ones. Of course specific control software for manufacturing or computation-heavy programs where not in my mind. Regarding File System access, this is one of the biggest advantages I see in a client-side application. Though, we are going towards the sandboxed apps way, and we may lose control over FS even on the client side. HTML may also eventually get more access to FS in future iterations. I do agree also that HTML+CSS+JS is somewhat painful compared to the desktop UI toolkits.

Let's add the next thing I won't have time to play with. Anyway, this is a great post and I look forward to the whole guide. Keep it up!

Yeah, I imagine with digicert I'd get a smoother process but unfortunately they have way higher costs which currently we can't afford.

Well they could at least be clearer about this. So it's all up to them if your startup gets featured. Good to know. Thank you.

This is a huge amount of tech resource. Don't know if it will actually bring to something working on the other platforms, but for sure it will help projects like Mono which deserved a little help.

Well IIRC tray icon notifications on Windows will only be shown for a limited amount of time. What if the user wasn't at the PC at the time?

I see your point. And I agree with it. I'm not suggesting to override user preferences. But there are some specific cases when a tray icon application loses most of its functionality from disappearing. The Windows API could at least let the developer know when the icon gets hidden: this way the user could be presented with a one-time dialog that informs about the user experience change that happens when hiding the icon.

Or, this could be an app permission requested to the user.

Just my 2 cents of course.

Wonderful piece of advice. Plus I didn't know about Followerwonk at all. Will try to follow all of your suggestions.

I appreciate that. Thank you.

I'd really like to receive some feedback about this service I'm building with a couple of friends.
