Thank you. This prompted me to take a look at my codebase. About 20,000 lines of code. I barely knew C++ before I started out. Very excited to note this and a bit more confident now that I am planning on pricing my product.

I really applaud the companies' commitment to phasing out the plastic beads within a few years time.

Matlab was my first real programming language. I guess the real "power" of Matlab is the collection of toolboxes (which carry a separate price tag for each) and the graphing capabilities and built-in vector functions that are easy to use. I think it was conveniently entrenched because it was the cheaper than Mathematica(?), I can't be too sure but there weren't many alternatives with a similar set of features.

I want to chime in that I have been using a similar setup: nginx, ngx-postgres, postgresql 9.2.4 in production for a while. It has been very snappy and rock solid till this point.

I used android async-http to talk to the server from my app to have everything online. This is an intranet app so latency is not really an issue.

I shall be adding some killer features tonight (JST): grouping, windowing AND pivoting from inside Tables with a couple of clicks on average.

Please raise issues and let me know if you face anything. Glad to iron it out.

I work for a supermarket in Japan...doing some IT grunt work + db admin + CRUD apps. Itching to try out new things...preferably remote.

Trying to get pgxplorer.com off the ground as a side project to "vacation" profitability.

Depends on your case but I would suggest choosing a payment processor that enables conbini shiharai (payment at convenience stores like 7-11, Lawson, etc.).

Do not underestimate the power of conbini. ;-)

I don't have any questions per se but I was genuinely sorry when I heard TinkerCAD was shutting down. Very glad to know you guys have revived the project.

They do (according to a post I saw on here a couple of months ago). But for people who don't know, they have an open source VM called HipHop (https://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php) that consumes the PHP.

This certainly seems promising and one can also probably piggyback on 3D printing by offering FEA services before printing. Prediction of failure loads and stress points, auto-optimisation to an extent, etc.

You may use incron [1] for this. incrond watches for file changes and can execute based on file actions.

You might want to refer to the book "Numerical Recipes in C."

Rob, are you OK with remote at this point?

You can sign up for Cryptography courses at Coursera.org. You learn about basic tenets of crypto like attacker games, cryptogaphic advantage, cracking some exploits (AES-CBC). If you do the problem sets and programming assignments and pass the course without help, you are off to a very good start I would say.

Graph 3 as a log y chart would've been nice.

> You had an issue verifying your own domain.

No. There was an issue verifying bitbucket.org. A git push could never be done because of some cert issue. That is when I dug a little further to look at the IPs directly.

FWIW, the cert issue seems to be resolved now. I just checked with two VMs.

I wanted to like bitbucket for the private free repos that they offer.

But I ran into an domain verification issue when I tried to update/push a repository as listed in their docs.

So I did a bit of dig and found this:

~ » dig bitbucket.org

<snipped>

;; ANSWER SECTION:

bitbucket.org. 36584 IN A 207.223.240.182

bitbucket.org. 36584 IN A 207.223.240.181

OK. So two IPs there. I visit those IPs and they show what seems like some usernames that have zero activity and seem suspicious (to my paranoid brain atleast).

Last I remember, which was about a couple of months ago, 182 was fetching the proper bitbucket.org pages. But even that seems to show up some username created in Dec 2012(!)

Very concerning because redis is also sponsored by VMWare.

What is your nationality and which country are you aiming for?

Depending on your nationality, you might not need to a visa. Just board a plane and show up.

Asia is pretty big...and needless to say, the laws change from country to country. So, you need to decide the country first.

"Best", Cheap, Support.

Pick two.

luajit within nginx. I use many third party modules and decided to go along with it.

OK. I am developing something similar and here is what I do:

1. For db, it really depends on the level of security and you app architecture. I am planning on different dbs for each paying customer.

2. Use a template engine like Jinja(Python) or Mustache(support for a slew of languages).

3. Python/Flask is good. I looked at both Flask and Bottle but I decided to go with something else that fits my needs. If you want PHP frameworks, there is FuelPHP, Kohana, CodeIgniter, etc.

Are you using a connection pooler for postgres? Like pgbouncer or something.

Polynomial curve fitting can be "dangerous". As in, extrapolating results can be unpredictable if not done right.

I recall an example where 7-8 points, trending up, are fitted with a polycurve that sharply dropped right after the last data point thereby giving erroneous prediction.

Please be advised that there is a grisly image in the link.

Also, logging in without any username/password works...as in, you are actually logged in and are looking at the dashboard.
