"It turns out that socket operations that fail in python-memcached don’t return an error or raise any exceptions."

...Whats surprising is that this went untested for so long.

Re:Are we going back to Client Server technology on Thursday August 04, 2011 @07:32PM (#2848260)

Yea try scaling a legacy client server application. And you will know why its dead.

Are we going back to Client Server technology

from the self-post dept.

I was just reading about Parse, a new startup on Techcrunch. There's kinvey that is doing similar stuff. While the idea is cool and definitely brings speed to creating mobile apps. But I feel we are going back to client server, except this time the client is Mobile. For now they are offering APIs or SDKs which let you store data in the backend without ever building a backend yourself. My guess...

Re:PhoneGap 1.0 Launches Today on Friday July 29, 2011 @03:54PM (#2823508)

I like PhoneGap, but I like Appcelerator better simply because it creates native apps vs most other cross-platform frameworks that do most of the UI rendering inside a browser component/container. They do this by compiling the framework code (i.e JavaScript) to Objective-C. And the apps created in Appcelerator can be as visually impressive as the ones written in native platform, this is because the framework gives you the ability to create native UI components. Checkout wunderlist, they have used the framework to build their iOS apps and Android app and its a really beautiful app.

They only support iOS and Android right now, that might not be a problem for some, but honestly iOS and Android are the only relevant platforms for now.

But for folks who think cross-platform does not work and creates low quality app should checkout Appcelerator. I think CNBC's latest app is also built using this framework.

Re:Rails 3.1 shipping with CoffeeScript on Wednesday April 13, 2011 @07:53PM (#2444762)

Express/node.js is the closest. LearnBoost runs on it, if I am not mistaken.

Did not see this coming. IMHO one problem does not kill another problem. Dont see CS as a solution at all.

Re:Nginx 1.0.0 is out on Tuesday April 12, 2011 @09:30PM (#2440291)

Nginx is a thing of beauty, definitely scores over Apache. - ease of use - simplified configuration, I dont need a 500pg manual to get a grasp of nginx - speed, speed, speed - what else do you want :)
