More scalable goodness: Python/Pylons, MongoDB(NoSQL) and Redis. I wonder if you can make a new LAMP acronym out of this stack….? No. You can’t.

Cool project, I can definitely see this making much more sense than any third-party site hosting your contacts. Sure, they have to live somewhere, but attaching them to the browser identity is a smart move to consolidate peoples’ organization efforts.

Email as Identity: Google Turns on WebFinger →
From the article: You can think of WebFinger as an email-centric cousin of OpenID. While OpenID associates your identity with a URL, WebFinger links your identity to your email address. WebFinger can store metadata about your account and make it publicly accessible. This data can include your public profile data, information about other services that are used by this email address, a URL to your...

Facebook Developers | HipHop for PHP: Move Fast →
The main challenge of the project was bridging the gap between PHP and C++. PHP is a scripting language with dynamic, weak typing. C++ is a compiled language with static typing. While PHP allows you to write magical dynamic features, most PHP is relatively straightforward. It’s more likely that you see if (…) {…} else {..} than it is to see function foo($x) { include $x; }. This...

★ Apple, Adobe, and Flash →
When I was a teener in the 90’s I used to not like Macs because I hated the idea of people using a different platform. It didn’t make sense to me that anyone would ever want to use anything other than Windows because it just made the world of software that much more annoying to code in. Later in the 2000’s I saw OSX and (having at this point turned into a total open source...
