use the source, luke.

Can we not start using that term here?

The boxee software itself hasn't been updated in a year at this point.

I honestly don't care for all these extraneous bits and pieces if they can't even ship the base system in any real timeframe.

After many years, the sad truth is that wysywig editors are only as useful as the output generated when users copy and paste from word documents, which is what I have found the vast majority of input from actual end users to be.

Not supporting wysywig is a tactical advantage in my book.

So not supporting pasting from Word at all, and then forcing Word users to learn something like markdown (no easy feat for the average computer user) is better than supporting pasting from Word in most cases, and letting them edit with a UI that they're familiar with?

I've gone the markdown route in the past, but recently also put a WYSIWYG editor in a project. The client was insanely happy that he and his employees didn't have to deal with teaching/learning markdown and converting Word documents to markdown anymore. Pasting just worked.

We've had great success with using ElasticSearch to index our couch db databases in near realtime into it's lucene indexes, and then querying those.

It allows each tool to focus on what it does well.

Looking into something very similar right now. What's your tradeoff been in terms of, for example, disk taken up by Elastic for indexing? How do you find Elastic in terms of how well it keeps up with indexing the data recently inserted into couch?

I would be greatly interested in finding out more... what problems did you run into? Where did you spend most of the time?

This is definitely the direction i see things going.

Node.js is also perfectly suited for it, and I recall hearing that it's also on the core team's mind.

Here's my project: https://github.com/bergie/noflo

i always thought scruples sounded like a breakfast cereal loaded with sugar and wasted sentiment.

god. thank you.

I have never met an ORM that didnt eventually rub me the wrong way.

As they say, familiarity breeds contempt.

I can name a hundred things my wife does that annoy me, but that doesn't mean I'm not worlds better with her than without.

True, but some people might be better off looking for new partners---and new alternatives to ORMs.

or just moving on.

php itself does break backwards compatibility, and it doesnt really help.

I feel that there is something in the ps3 scene that might have triggered this, that nobody is actually mentioning.

Recently a custom firmware (rebug) was released that allowed PS3's with hacked firmware to connect to the developer only version of the PSN used for testing and development.

Even more so, they have figured out how to trick the dev PSN to allow them to 'buy' PSN games. They also figured out how to break out of the sandbox with certain games like the call of duty series, to allow patched games to play with regular players.

I personally suspect that this is the intrusion that they are referring to, and they are busy retooling the network to stop this from being possible.
