You won two internets for fixing this one. Congrats.

Their privacy policy contains some interesting stuff about your actual privacy: "Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement Requests; Protection of Dropbox's Rights". Also, the "Security Overview" page explains that the files are encrypted by

The issue with TC is the fact that it doesn't resync the volume while it's mounted.

Nobody stops people to use a stackable encrypted filesystem such as EncFS or eCryptfs over Dropbox. This "cloud security snafu" thing is getting old.

We had 0 downtime. The only thing that's screwed up is a read replica of a multi-AZ MySQL on RDS deployment. Amazon did not send any notification. Kinda annoying.

I wish one day people would stop using mod_php5 and start using PHP-FPM. That way we might get proper documentation and support. fastcgi_finish_request() does the neat thing of finishing the request in the user side, but continuing to do th

Other lightweight web servers which fall into the same category as G-WAN: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiawatha_(web_server) are still on Wikipedia. No news about any "reliable" references. However, it was not marked for speedy deletion.

I like the way Zeus deals with their performance claims: you can test it, but you can not disclose the results. The same crap as Microsoft used to do. Although I did sign up for a trial, I didn't bother going further after reading the EULA.

Pierre was a Windows-only developer for 20-something years. It may not sound bright by taking that quote out of its context, but the thread itself is longer that that. You know that "you can't teach an old dog new tricks".

There's a lot of ambiguity in your comment alone by taking things out of their context. "Git comes with a nice pull-request generation module, but github instead decided to replace it with their own totally inferior version. As a result, I

I'm not affiliated with the OP. I maintain my own stack on EC2 due to very specific application requirements. However, something is suspicious if the latency goes up so much due to Memcache alone.
106.
by 1SaltwaterC 14y ago
Nope. From those metrics, Memcache is using all that time by itself. New Relic breaks down the network map based on distinct services. The database layer has a separate entry.

nginx doesn't even have plain CGI support. The SimpleCGI wrapper does not count.

Once upon a time there was a dude that had the bright idea to hotlink the swf mediaplayer that I was hosting. Besides wasting my bandwidth, it also wasted my time for tracking all the referrals where he used the code. Long story short, he g

Maybe I was too subtle. This "create the next foo" is the tagline of way too many "news" that float around this place. I think that there's no "next foo", only bar that contains the ingredients indicated by you.

You do realize that you're killing plants, right? Unless you're planning to photosynthesize, you're still part of a food chain.

Isn't this "create the next Instagram" like "create the next Facebook"?

The biggest WTF was that "tied to Apache" section. Being running nginx + PHP-FPM for years, even before FPM was accepted as official SAPI. I guess that people still think that they know better than their sysadmin regarding how to set up a p

As others pointed out, no, you can not rely on HEAD requests. You may send conditional GET's though, as you pointed out: by using ETag/If-None-Match and/or Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since. Keeping a hash database in order to track changes i

Actually we can, but that's a professional DNS service that includes other stuff besides DNS. But when we used CNAME for the root, some email services stopped working. They were trying to send the email to the CNAME resolved address which w

Besides that, node can listen on UNIX domain socket, while nginx can proxy the connection over UDS, therefore people can avoid the TCP stack. That should also shave off some latency. It may throw some 502 errors if is not configured properl
