American soccer fans keep constant vigil, waiting for signs that their beloved USA is creeping toward the moment when it casts off history's shackles and becomes a Great Footballing Nation. Generally, this watchful stance is expressed in excitement over new club youth-development schemes, national team performances ("we beat Guatemala again!"; "we almost played well in a friendly against a European team!"; "we fucking own Mexico, dude"; "...almost certain to qualify for 2010..."; "...best team in ...

MySQL is turning out to be one big soap opera as far as I can tell and as Bruce Momjian has mentioned. Lets go over some of the interesting episodes of this saga: First Sun buys MySQL Falcon storage engine creator Jim Starkey leaves MySQL/Sun Brian Aker heads Drizzle which is a fork of MySQL that hopes to be a stream-lined implementation of MySQL that leaves out all that nonsense we don't need such as ...

During my recent downtime, I learned Perl. I have always used either C or shell script for most of my development; for me, Perl seemed in the middle of those two, feature-wise. I have considered learning Perl in the past, but every time I read a Perl book I failed to see Perl's usefulness for me. However, I came upon Learning Perl the Hard Way (PDF) and this short, high-level ebook got me excited about ...

We just heard the This American Life story Alex and I did with Ira, about the financial crisis. As soon as it was over, my dad and my uncle called to say they liked it a lot but still had a crucial question: you say it's scary, but how is it scary to me? How does the crisis affect regular people? I do think I could have done a better job of laying this out. ...

On 30th of September, Heikki Linnakangas committed his patch that changes FSM: Rewrite the FSM. Instead of relying on a fixed-size shared memory segment, the free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM). This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any trace of them [...]

Nintendo just revealed that the company is working on a new version of Punch-Out to be released on the Wii sometime in 2009. There's not much in the way of details so far -- Nintendo teases these things worse than Tia Tequila in a room full of 14-year-old boys -- but the firm has slapped a tiny video up on their Japanese web site. Obviously it would be too much to hope that Nintendo will ...

Josh Stephens has written an interesting and intelligent article over at Planetizen entitled, "Out Of The Enclave: Latinos Adapt, And Adapt To, The American City."Intentionally or not, the article shows that Latino communities existing inside urban areas are way ahead of the rest of the curve when it comes to creating public spaces in the misdesigned urban areas we call home. In short, while the rest of America was building cities around the car, they ...

This hack available on jailbroken iPhones allows you to hold down the home button when you quit an app to have it continue running in the background. Considering this is homebrew software, it’s probably trivial for Apple to reproduce it but, as we all know, Apple does what Apple wants to do, so we can just suck it.
