Would md5 hashes allow detection of synced files? Take a look at the design goals github.com/appcove/FileStruct (disclaimer: I am author). It would be fairly trivial to port to Java. |

Are exceptions as control flow considered a serious antipattern? If so, Why? @9000, in some cases, sure. But then you lose access to local variables, and you move your code yet-another-place, when the process is a coherent, linear process. |

Consuming JSON stream into AWS Database on the cheap The lower end AWS instances are not much money. You didn't mention how big of a database you will need or how large it will grow -- that is where your expense will be. |

Engineering interview candidate refuses to use whiteboard +1 "You aren't hiring him to work on a whiteboard; you're hiring him to work at a keyboard.". Anyway, standing at a whiteboard is akin to giving a presentation, which a lot of people never got rid of the lump in their throat from speech class in 8th grade. However, I commend him for being honest with you about his limitations. |

Would md5 hashes allow detection of synced files? In short, yes. However, I would suggest a more modern hash, look up SHA on wikipedia. Are you storing the files on disk or in the database? |

SOAP traffic generator You are looking a bit low-level. If you do decided to write this in Java, spawn a few threads and use an HTTP Client library to send the soap requests. Even better, use a Soap Client. stackoverflow.com/questions/4296432/a-simple-java-soap-client |

Formatting SQL Based on an AST Off topic: I looked at your site and all of your examples involved a lot more code than just typing out the SQL. Curious: what is the benefit of this library? |

Version control: Dealing with incomplete/broken code I find it convenient to rebase or sqash-merge several commits together into a coherent changeset before sending upstream for merging. This way, each commit is ideally a logical step in the evolution of the software (rather than half-step). |

Ensuring conceptual integrity in Python project with multiple programmers Ownership without proper accountability and oversight is a good recipe for endless chaos. Eisenhower threatened to resign his command if the powers that were would not place the airborne and bombers under his command for the invasion of Europe. |

Why exactly can't PHP have full unicode support? I left PHP for Python in 2006 after using it for 5 solid years -- Python has an incredible development process and good leadership -- plus the language is so much more terse, powerful, and consistent than PHP. The main challenge is to find the right web framework. We rolled our own -- AppStruct. |

Alternatives to sql like databases Why are you trying to re-invent a perfect wheel, just because of a small amount of data? MySQL or PostgreSQL or SQLExpress take very little knowledge or maintenance to run, and fit your requirements perfectly (client/server). |

Do i have to pay to use the rtf, pdf, Microsoft Word, and/or open document formats Have you researched this at all? Doesn't sound like it. Suggest you spend some time looking at the politics/legalities of Open Office, etc... which handles all of these formats. |

How can I make my PHP development environment more efficient? Your dev machine should be the same stack as your production machine. Use samba to create a network share, and that solves the moving-files problem. Take a look at the zend tools for debugging to see what they have. If at all possible, use full databases, version control, etc... |

Converting lib from other language to python and Rights issue This brings up the question of copyrighting specific code, or patenting specific functionality... Not that it matters, considering that it is an apache-licensed library. But ideas come from many places, including existing projects. You are rewriting, not translating, btw. |

Why do so few large websites run a Microsoft stack? @gbjbaanb: Google started out being called "back rub", because the main feature of the search engine then was the ability to rank pages based on links, etc... |
