Any recommendations for scaling Postgresql's best practices? Really appreciate it.

Why not start a Kickstarter for it?

Does she/he really like street food better? If so all the best to him/her.

Well I always thought that Scala itself is supposed to be the Erlang for jvm.

Is Akka supposed to do what OTP is doing for Erlang?

>CMS-style js libraries like Angular JS

CMS as in Content Management Framework?

And alcohol of course.

I wonder if it's feasible to hack the javascript engines (v8, spidermonkey, ...) to support languages CoffeeScript? In case the answer is positive how come nobody's doing that?

>they bought a good number of 50s era jazz cds to listen to in their bus.

It's may be because Rod Morgenstien (their drummer) is basically a Jazz Fusion musician.

Time to send Missionaria Protectiva to spread the Panoplia Propheticus among them!

Google Earth is still blocked in Iran.

Thanks for the pointer. Actually what I'm looking for is edit/add/remove functionality. Something suitable for making a web-based concept map.

Is there an HTML renderer example for this somewhere? I'm not sure how can I make a graph interactive with canvas?

What do you mean by "dynamic Lisp"?

>Combine the technological advancements of South Korea with a pool of 'cheap' North Korean labor and you've got the makings of an economic powerhouse.

China can do that because of in their political system the concept of Human Rights is basically none-existent. The ruling elite can treat some portion of their population as they please and they don't have to answer to anybody.

... and never ever act upon that desire.

You may try Programming Collective Intelligence if you haven't already (it's actually a O'Reilly book ;).

I need a web based wiki/concept-map hybrid.

Judging by online version calling this book a definitive guide is somehow misleading. There are still many crucial details about CouchDB that you cannot find in this book and you have to search for them in mailing lists/blogs/wikis. I think a title like Starting Couchdb with Couchapp fits better for this book.

What if those handful people had started/contributed to some open source project? Now they don't have access to their own code.

All three of them crashed my Chrome 4.0 tab.

Haven't read it but given the context of your question should be interesting. Thanks for the pointer.

> When a "glastnost" comes to China

I think it's more accurate to say: If a "glastnost" comes to China. There's no rule of thumb that something like that is going to happen in every undemocratic country.

I am a little perplexed here. His friend died and then as a way to restore his personality he created a female sex robot?!

I'm all for map/reduce chaining.

>start with a specific goal/project in mind and find out what steps are required to get it done.

Best advice you can get especially when you start learning to program.

It's so good nothing useful has ever been written in it.

Care to elaborate a little bit?
