Bad Behavior complements other link spam solutions by acting as a gatekeeper, preventing spammers from ever delivering their junk, and in many cases, from ever reading your...
The Straight Dope: Does it take fewer muscles to... →
sidcto:
Dear Cecil:
I’ve heard from all sorts of places that it takes 43 muscles to frown and only 17 to smile (the numbers vary), but I can tell you from experience that spending half an hour grinning is a lot more tiring than half an hour of not smiling, which is pretty much the same as frowning. Is the whole idea bogus?

I’ve been hearing this for years. Supposedly...

NoSQL Basics, Benefits and Best-Fit Scenarios →
nosql:
Curt Monash, author of ☞ DBMS2, writing about NoSQL databases:
Rather, NoSQL DBMS start from three design premises:
Transaction semantics are unimportant, and locking is downright annoying.
Joins are also unimportant, especially joins of any complexity.
There are some benefits to having a DBMS even so.
I disagree. NoSQL databases design principles are in my opinion:

RavenDB Looking for a UI →
nosql:
Probably inspired by the ☞ Redis logo contest, RavenDB is looking for help to create its management UI:
Another problem is that the UI is already becoming cluttered, and we can’t really offer high end UX with the type of options that we have in a web interface without a ridiculously high investment in time and effort. But I still want the no-deploy option, so the next UI for RavenDB is...

Sierra Leone: A Safe Place for Expecting Mothers →
doctorswithoutborders:
In Sierra Leone, there are no ambulances, and many women are too poor to afford a bus ticket, meaning they must walk for hours in the tropical heat. For women already in labor this is practically impossible, and thus, not surprisingly, home births are the norm.
By encouraging women to come to clinics sooner, MSF is helping more women in Sierra Leone deliver children...
myNoSQL: CouchDB for Android. iPhone Next? →
nosql:
CouchDB got quite some press with the announcement of CouchOne Mobile[1]. In the light of the changes in Apple policy[2], I am wondering if the iDevices (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) are next.
Anyway, I think there are additional ingredients to be added to the mix to make CouchOne Mobile…

The complete story of the ☞ Scrabb.ly, a multiplayer online Scrabble, built during the 48 Node Knockout. The only part about MongoDB:
As soon as we came up with the idea, we knew exactly the right tool for this application. MongoDB geospacial indexing was a lifesaver here. We are able to store every tile thats placed on the board by its x,y coordinate and query a bounding box whenever...

MongoDB Auto-sharding and Foursquare Downtime →
nosql:
Foursquare is one of the companies that we’ve previously mentioned as being excited about MongoDB geo support added with version 1.4. It looks like they’ve also been the users of MongoDB auto-sharding feature included in the 1.6 series, but that didn’t work so well for them:
Starting around 11:00am EST yesterday, we noticed that one of these shards was performing poorly because a...

Andrew Brehaut contributing to the list of possible CouchDB improvements:
However, despite the ease at which the core logic is able to be implemented, I have run into a number of issues that cause me to be exceedingly hesitant to recommend couch to another developer, or to consider using on another project of my own. There are 4 major points that I will examine in more detail:

Haumana Dao
The name of this blog is actually a brand new word. If you do a search for haumanadao, ALL of the results will be related to me. For Haumana Dao the results are same when these two words appear together. This is a conjunction of two actual words, Haumana and Dao. Dao is an alternate spelling to Tao. I am not sure but I believe the difference in spelling is “regional” because the two...
