Last week we saw a few interesting announcements from some of the cloud providers. Also, there were some ‘must read’ posts published by Microsoft, Amazon and Kinvey. In addition, there were some announcements on new release from Hortonworks and MongoHQ. Yet another important news was t... Jan. 20, 2013 09:45 PM EST Reads: 1,893 |
 Estimates of poverty in the Philippines vary, but it's realistic to say that 40% of the country's 92 million people fall below a poverty line no matter where it's drawn. Another 20% or so struggle to have more than one meal a day. About 25 million fall into an emerging "middle class," ...Mar. 14, 2010 05:23 AM EDT Reads: 7,075 |
Recently, a blog post appeared on the www.techopsguys.com talking about our technology and our position on SSDs.

 One of the coolest parts of the new SproutCore View layer is its ability to use aspect-based programming to add behaviors to views.

I hate writing HTML. Wait. Let me rephrase that. I hate writing and reading HTML.
Compared to Ruby, Perl, and even SQL code, HTML is just so… verbose. Crafting open and close tags is taxing; nesting is error prone; and it’s difficult to simply glance at HTML to grok its purpose. CSS... Apr. 14, 2009 05:56 PM EDT Reads: 850 |
I've been thinking for a while about this proposal.
There are a couple of probably show-stopping problems with it,

I get the right tool for the right job mantra. I've used it time and again in my analyses, but typically with regard to which components to use in a large-scale complex distributed system.

I'd say there are two questions you have to decide before you can
tell the best approach:
1: What do you *want* that to parse to?
2: What other cases do you need to deal with?
