Not from DO but since it is open sourced, I am sure we can make it work with any Linux server with a little work :)

I agree with Internet of things being the big thing in future.

It is just matter of time when everything we use will have its own API.

This is such a cool concept. I was so hoping he would build this.

How risky or bad is it if you don't own the .com domain for your app or service ?

I think it depends on your market. If you're aiming for mass-market consumers (i.e. not the people who are reading this comment ;), then .com is pretty important, since many folks don't even know there are other TLDs out there. This is especially true if there's a competitor with the .com -- because lots of people are going to just type your name directly into Google or the search bar and hit enter, and if you're not #1 for your name, you're in trouble.

If you're building something that's targeting our community (hackers, programmers, etc.), there's a lot more flexibility since we "get it" ... I'll just as easily find you if it's .io, .cc, or something more obscure like domai.nr, etc.

I bought a .se domain for a project of mine. In Google Webmaster tools the geographic target is set to Sweden with no way (that I saw) to change it. I got very limited traffic from natural search.

I recently bought a .com domain for the same project and I am already seeing an increase in natural search.

Just to add to this, here's the list of TLDs Google considers generic/geotargetable: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1347922?hl=en

This is not good.

I mean why should a smart search engine like Google limit a TLD to a particular region. Especially since squatters buy good .com domains and charge premium prices. They of all people should know the difficulties of finding relevant domains.

Anyone trying for this ?

Is it possible to do something like this for a MySQL (innodb with relational keys) database ? I am about to begin work on a project that might be used in countries where we don't have constant connectivity (internet and electricity) .. and we don't want to lose or corrupt data due to connectivity ...

I mention this in the FAQ

Can PouchDB sync with MySQL / my current non CouchDB database?

No, the data model of your application has a lot of impact on its ability to sync, relational data with the existence of transactions make this harder. It may be possible given some tradeoffs but right now we are focussing on making PouchDB <-> (PouchDB / CouchDB) sync as reliable and easy to use as possible.

I am new to this.

Docker lets us use same set of configs so that we have uniform server setup everywhere right ? How is this different from Vagrant ? Or did I miss something ?

They are complementary. Vagrant is a tool for configuring VMs for development.

Docker is a tool for packaging your code and all its dependencies into a portable lightweight container. You can deploy docker containers across VMs and physical machines, regardless of how they are configured. Some of your machines may be configured with Vagrant, some of them with Puppet, Chef, Salt or any number of home-made tools. But all of them can run your docker container exactly as you built it, byte for byte.

Interesting. Does this also mean you can run your container on both 64 and 32 bit platforms?

Yes, although only x86_64 is officially supported at the moment, that should change very soon.

Looks like it's built around KVM (Kernel Virtualization Modules), i.e. "containers", rather than full-blown virtual machine emulation like Xen or VirtualBox/Vagrant.

It appears to be a configuration management / deployment tool for KVM containers. New to me too, gonna dive in and check it out.

KVM is full machine emulation (i.e. hardware is emulated, and you can run different kernels inside the guests than you do on the host).

Docker uses LXC which is like BSD Jails, most of the advantages of VMs but you don't have to emulate a whole system, there's only one kernel atop which multiple containers/jails can run different software and have thorough isolation. Very fast and light-weight, but you can't run different OS kernels.

nitpicking: KVM stands for "Kernel Virtual Machine". It's an implementation of virtual machines, just like VirtualBox or VMWare. Containers are completely separate from KVM.

That's a great way to describe it. It's a "lightweight" VM that is created per process.

I am sorry, but your argument doesn't seem to make sense.

What 3D applications require Parallax on mobile phones ?

And, you are comparing mobile phone with web ?

Thank you for suggesting Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works. I'd never heard of this before. Loving it :)

Fun fact: if you believe the title, he wrote some of the tracks when he was 14 years old.

Personally I don't believe it for a second.

I don't find it surprising, especially for someone that is already a musical prodigy. I remember dreaming of beautiful melodies as a kid, but lacking musical talent, I was unable to play them on a musical instrument. Thus, the melodies were just stuck in my head and usually forgotten shortly after waking up.

The thing is, RDJ is legendary for self-mythologising. As a result of this, everyone else mythologises him too. He's obsessed with messing with his fans' heads. He has openly stated in interviews that he lies about himself all the time.

To be fair he could have written that stuff as a teenager. But then maybe he also owns one of Kraftwerk's original vocoders, modified to produce output in Cornish.

Apparently he also has a lookalike that walks around at his shows to divert the attention of fans.

Etc etc.
