It's amazingly useful to have realtime throughput rates
tail -f query.log | pv -tri 1 > /dev/null
dbuthay | 14 years ago | on: Enough with whiteboard coding interviews
I think both are OK. Personally, I like whiteboards to outline solutions. A sheet of paper may serve the same purpose.
Once I decided how to solve the problem, vim comes in handy :)
dbuthay | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN:Help for server side options. I know only .net
I'd go for ROR, or maybe Sinatra + your favorite ORM.
If you don't want to host your own servers, you can grab an ec2 free micro instance, or just go with heroku or cloudfoundry.

Hi,
I wrote a bunch of jQuery plugins for IndexTank on https://github.com/flaptor/indextank-jquery/tree/indextankiz...
I'm working on instant search right now .. So I'll have it available soon

probably they didn't do it because it takes too many resources to have a separate index for every user.
I thought about adding Facebook status updates to the index. If people start asking for it, I'll consider doing it.

What you see on your timeline at the time you sign up is indexed right away. After that, the app gets all your tweets and those from who you follow.
As twitter has an hourly limit for API calls, it may take some time to index your friends history.
It depends on how many friends you have and how much they tweet
dbuthay | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: feedback on my app - search your Twitter timeline
I keep all the tweets. So the answer is Yes, you'll be able to find tweets that twitter's search does not let you find.

It took me about 3 days to build it. It's my first ruby / heroku app, so I learned a lot. Sinitter (http://sinitter.moocode.com/) saved me a lot of coding, though.
dbuthay | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: feedback on my app - search your Twitter timeline
I'm doing something like that on my app. Even requesting 200 tweets per API call, it takes a while to index when you have lots of friends.
dbuthay | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: feedback on my app - search your Twitter timeline
I'm fetching your timeline, you friends timelines, and indexing them with IndexTank.
It's incremental, so it may take a while. There's a limited number of allowed twitter API calls per hour, so in case you have lots of friends it'll take some time to have them all indexed.
About the status, there's a status bar on the upper right corner.

I can choose between a Nexus S or an IPad.

I'd add grooveshark to that mix

Still, it is kind of a hack.
