devmach··on Page Speed Service
just out of curiosity i checked some of my web based application :

- orginal : load time 5 seconds *

- optimized : infinity....

I think they have to optimize their optimizer...

* : all js & css & image files about 900kb and the connection is 1Mbit adsl.

devmach··on Pronounceable IPv6 addresses, WPA2-PSK and hashes
I'm normally not that rude but in this case :

My dear friend, if you still didn't noticed : there is a people in the world, wo can't speak english or their mother tounge isn't english and for your suprise they are majority. Claiming this list a "pronounceable" is not only nonsense, it's also recklessness. I can't imagine a chinese tries to pronounce "rad" or "lad" : most of them can't pronunce right because of their mother tounge ( and that' perfectly OK )

If we use this list instead of numeric addresses, we all f*cked up...

devmach··on Agility.js - Javascript MVC for the "write less, do more" programmer
"persist" looks like easy to modify, i'll re-built it for my needs.

One suggestion : maybe not perfect but, for html templates you can do what jQuery does: templates/html in <script> tag, user just gives the tag's id. this way, one can store all templates in one file.

devmach··on Agility.js - Javascript MVC for the "write less, do more" programmer
I liked agility.js. But why are you using REST by default ? I know it's "cool" (= you can read this "other's use it" or "it's cacheable/more easy to understand" etc.) but i really hate when someone dictates me something.
devmach··on Ewww, You Use PHP?
Because of the lack of documentation (v3), i begin to read source code to understand... At the and i found myself while writing my own framework :)

Really, Kohana needs more documentation....

devmach··on Parallel script loading for improved page load
with using someting like headjs, you have some pros :

- you don't have to put tons of <script> tag on your template. just pass the parameters to headjs*

- you can load js files and "after" run some function and this function hasn't have to be in another js file or document.ready(). you can do this operations any time after full page load.

* Ok, i know : one should compress and merge javascript files..

devmach··on Ewww, You Use PHP?
I could live with sun+java but oracle+java? no thanks... it can be technically perfect, i really don't care...

> But if you considering building anything today on PHP (when you have sooooooooo fucking many better platforms) you are incompetent and plain stupid, because it will be a big technical debpt for the whole project.

I think we have a bunch of stupids like facebook and mailchimp... Php or any other programming language is a tool, a proven one. So if you can do some amazing things go for it.

"You use X then you are an idiot. Y is for masters !" approach is childish and proves that you can only use Y technology.

devmach··on MongoDB {name: "mongo", type: "db"}
Something which doesn't exists on any other zillion blogs, something is not " MongoDB 101 "...

If i want to install MongoDB on Ubuntu, i would use google, first result for "MongoDB ubuntu install" is MongoDB's web site ( http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Ubuntu+and+Debian+packag... ). I think it would be better to follow these instructions.

The point is : If one wants to be useful for others, he/she should be write about use cases and possible implementations (eg. " our e-commerce solution and how we using mongodb")

devmach··on Iran set to launch its own Internet
What i learned from this article : Even monkeys can push some random keys on keyboard and write articles... Well, i think we call this article useful..
devmach··on MongoDB {name: "mongo", type: "db"}
This post is useless.. Some excited newbie writes his first thoughts on MongoDB, which you can't gain useful information.
devmach··on Team Fortress 2 now free forever
I've installed Steam again changed download region. It looks like works now.
devmach··on Team Fortress 2 now free forever
Is there some other way download the game other than stream? With 16Mit connection, i can download only 17KB/second and it suspends all the time... Such times, i think that who designed and/or coded such a system/program should stop working on IT subject... I can understand low download speed (server load, too many downloads etc), but why suspend the download ? and why not f*ckin' auto-resume ?
devmach··on Apple R&D (1989): Mousing is faster than keyboarding, but users don't believe it
Ok, so what ? You can write faster with keyboard or move faster with mouse, but do you really need to be so fast ?

I'm really curious ( and not trolling ) : Don't you guys need to think "before" and "while" coding ? Or you just type as faster as you can ? I need to design and "try" code on my mind and then write it, i can make some last moment corrections while writing. Most of time, my code works as i designed and i'm spending much of my time with designing not writing. So what's the matter ?

devmach··on Apple economics: a free laptop every year.
But backups doesn't solve the other problems on the list.
devmach··on Apple economics: a free laptop every year.
Why should i buy every year a new laptop ? even it's free ? every time i buy a laptop , i have to;

- backup my files / projects

- destroy my personal files

- sell my old laptop to someone and hopefully get my money

- copy files to the new laptop

- set personal settings ( wallpaper, mouse speed etc )

- and optionally : get used to new keyboard layout

- hope for a fix if there is a some hardware/design error.

for programmers, i think old but working laptop seems fine to me.

devmach··on Tout – How My Weekend Project Turned into a Real Lean Startup
Not so important advice: Please don't put your picture on every page (braintrust.co). It's kind of disturbing : it's company's web site not yours..
devmach··on Microsoft Takes Legal Action Against Barnes & Noble over Android
Sure... But as i see, the patent system in US is a mess. That can make my business fragile : I develop some app and then some troll sues me, so now instead investing in innovation , i have to invest my lawyer !

Maybe you have to do more paperworks in other Countries (ex. Germany) but your business is not in danger because bad use of patents. Sure other countries have also patent trolls but the system is not bad and currupt as US.

That's why you never build your business in US...
