Your sample is heavily skewed toward the literate. Add Education (None,HighS,BS,MS,PhD) as a research statistic and compare it to the national average. I would bet that your sample is greater than 2 Standard Deviations from the mean.

The great thing about distributed caches is that static resources can still be made available even if the source is down. In fact dynamic resources can be served as well using the stale-if-error Cache-Control header. http://tools.ietf.org/

Actually, PHP returns a 200 when it encounters a fatal error. This explains why it was indexed by Google.

Looks like PHP returns a 200 when it encounters a fatal error. Edit: Here's a way to force 500 for fatal errors in PHP http://blog.kevburnsjr.com/php-fatal-error-500

I suppose you could add some code to Varnish to tell it to squelch any and all 500 responses.

I suppose you could also write a quick bash script to ensure the first 5 characters of any .class.php file matches "<?php", but it wouldn't be very generally applicable and wouldn't fix a problem like this for a file named config.php

Wow, you're right. I sort of assumed it would pick up on an error like this.

+1 to russ. PHP syntax checking on precommit would have caught this. Edit: I'm wrong. It does not catch this.

Well, this is partially true. The output clearly contains error statements, but this directive would not have stopped the first 748 lines of sensitive information from leaking before the first error.

You can clearly see all the routes in the app. 400+ routes and only 11 controllers. Most routes are concentrated on 3-4 controllers. Each of those controllers has got to be 10,000-20,000 lines apiece. The dashboard controller alone has appr

Working on ways around this. Reason for lag right now is that iPhone requires that play events come from a UI event rather than any arbitrary javascript function call. To get one-click play on the homepage, you have to load all 40 players o

That might also be a good solution, particularly if reversibility is necessary.

Yes, at some point you need some sort of atomic ID generation. I'm using Riak for the key-value store and Redis's atomic incr for the ID generation. Anyone who wants to save an object into the bucket first has to get a unique ID from Redis

PHP's modulus operator is broken for larger values. http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php#9... True about consecutive hash calculation. Notedly it's for obfuscation, not encryption.
