& smoke! Anyone dares to admit?

fedd··on Redesigning the country selector
when I enter russ it shows me Brunei Darussalam first. I guess it's politics! ;)
fedd··on Watch Me Make Mistakes
> I think the conservative approach is faster, but it introduces more errors

interesting. i use 'conservative' and sometimes get surprised how could i write and send such non-corellated or repeated sentences so close to each other.

fedd··on 10gen's response to MongoDB's slams
right. read the doc beforehand, and for financial data use the time proven relational dbs. they're "slow" for a reason.

for massive user generated content where big numbers of statistics come into play, and noone would die if you lose their hard-composed 140 char tweet, use transaction- and lock-free, easily-sharded, rarely flushed to disk stores.

fedd··on Don't use MongoDB
have users of foursquare run into problems? were they serious? did someone lose money? let's ask. it would answer whether to use an eventually consistent db.
fedd··on Michael Arrington on Racism: The Game
no longer available. i guess you're trying to show us some people influenced by some western subcultures? see the words 'in general' in my post
fedd··on Michael Arrington on Racism: The Game
i'd say, we russians dont even understand these race problems. in general we dont give a damn on races and ethnities.
fedd··on SimpleGeo To Be Acquired By Urban Airship
It means making a service not for consumers but for other services is a bad business nowadays?
fedd··on What it means to be non-blocking in node.js
how do experienced people compare one (or 8, by the number of cores) threaded node.js performance with java's asynchronous IO servlets?

fedd··on Lamer News
i started to make a reddit clone too to demo our mety db - http://vsetec.com/uncensor/ (dont click the spammy links, the site is sorta unattended now).
fedd··on Why VC's invest in Pigs not Chickens
the same amount of money has different 'utility' for different people. losing $10K, a poor guy loses more that a VC losing $1M. it's not that a guy won't be able to buy the next porsche.
fedd··on Why VC's invest in Pigs not Chickens
As VC firms are not about charity, but profit, I can only understand that they think they are able to buy those who invested their last dollars much cheaper.

If I were a VC (or when I become one) I wouldn't trust desperate people, those who bet everything and their arm on a deal. I understood that the article describes these as pigs. Such people could actually be even dangerous.

fedd··on Do you want to sell sugar water or do you want to change the world?
reading the title, i thought that the article would be about the difference between the master of sales that sells lemonade since his childhood, and the nerd that can't speak smoothly but has disruptive and needed project and working skills. and that investors start to prefer the latter.
fedd··on What frustrates me the most as an entrepreneur
really? not everyone becomes a VC because they are afraid that it's very hard?

what i see, people don't even know that it's hard so you have to enlighten them. i see people think there are some other barriers, like connections, friends of parents, university, money, etc

fedd··on Node.js - A Giant Step Backwards
so adding a callback runs it if there is a result. thanks
fedd··on Node.js - A Giant Step Backwards
I can't understand why.

Why?

fedd··on Node.js - A Giant Step Backwards
can Deferred work so fast that it don't call some of callback functions because they were not added yet?
fedd··on Google Please Hire Me
how would he sit on the inflated round armchairs in this suit? i mean is he dressed appropriately for a technology company?

fedd··on Chocolat - the new editor
i sometimes need to use the split window to show me 2 or 3 code chunks that are sequential, so that they scroll together.

i mean, not 3 different, distant parts of a document, but like one longer part of a document, where a core function with several recursions and nested loops is defined, in many lines, and i want to see them all.

usually i print them out and then inspect.

is there any editor to do this? maybe chocolat will?..

fedd··on Another Airbnb Victim Tells His Story: “There Were Meth Pipes Everywhere”
i'd say, i'd feel unsafe there even if such a story didn't happen to me... or, while there are houses of thin wood, maybe you are allowed to wear/keep a gun?
fedd··on Another Airbnb Victim Tells His Story: “There Were Meth Pipes Everywhere”
sorry, do you have metal doors there in SF? as we do in Moscow, Russia. the doors that can be opened only with the help of special forces
fedd··on Stop A/B Testing and Make Out like a Bandit

edit: hallelujah, the db is up now, after 30 minutes. can somebody upvote me back now? ;)

fedd··on A Billion Dollars Isn’t Cool. You Know What’s Cool? Basic Human Decency
that's what i'm saying, so that's also why the company is responsible, i think
fedd··on Why God Hates German Words
i think the problem is not you using plain words, but for you mentioning the hell.

i think in ancient times, mentioning Hell, Helheim, trolls was also only for brave men, and Germanic grandmothers were against it

fedd··on A Billion Dollars Isn’t Cool. You Know What’s Cool? Basic Human Decency
and they are. like, you know, a pub is responsible when you slip on the wet floor there and break a leg.

some people would say that you should have eyes and be careful, but would we listen to them, or sue the pub that forgot to put 'caution wet floor' sign?

fedd··on Reading Hacker News is not launching
you're right! yes, i guess i am doing it already. my complains was just about this particular site, where i haven't worked much enough yet
fedd··on Reading Hacker News is not launching
got you. i should go to where i am already known... :)
fedd··on Reading Hacker News is not launching
i don't know, what kind of work?

did @antirez of Redis do those things? i guess the audience just liked his project and that's all. if my work is BS and we get some attention with some tricks (edit: in a good sence of the word!), we would just agonize longer before everyone including me understands that my work is unneeded.

let it be as naturally as it is but thanks anyway

(addition: be us a consumer web startup we would agree. our audience is hacker and web engineering crowd, so the help would be just upvote my posts :)
