Yeah but last time i checked, Canada is not part of the U.S. and with a visa and ticket, that should be enough for him, if somebody wants to grill me it should be a Canadian Immigration agent.

Yes, i am french (from France), been living in Montreal for 5years know, speaks perfect english (no silly french accent), but anytime i have to go to the US i get treated like shit by immigration agent when they see my passport. And it's be

Indeed. I am trying to involve a former colleague of mine who is a specialist in front-end development and optimization to complete what knowledge i have on this front. I have been actually thinking about asking HN or other about what they

Agreed on that. I am actually currently working on a book (PHP oriented) on high performance / traffic website architecture. Worked 4 years at a Top50 Alexa and been eager to share my knowledge (was forbidden to talk publicly about most of

I was saying the same thing not a month ago. Until one day, i completely flipped out during a meeting, stormed out, insulted the owner, and never came back. I had been working way to much for the past 4years, and on the months leading to th

"I don't know any Flash devs with CS degrees. They're all artists and designers and musicians who somehow got into development" Nice to meet you. Even if Flash is not my main language, i do enjoy it (AS3/Flex), and i am the proud owner of a

It will be is not structured using Namespaces, which can be annoying if you are using them on a day to day basis and want to integrate something like Yaf that doesn't use them.

Could be interesting, even though most of this was already doable through the regular API, some new interesting things (send Request to a friend for example is a nice idea). But with the FB Credits thing, i'm not sure what are the implicati

If performance is a problem, then PHP is most certainly not the source of it, the vast majority of performance issues people are having in PHP are related to poorly written code, bad understanding of the language, and most of all use of thi

Indeed. If i cannot understand a system (in my field) in a couple of days (depending on the size), and have been asked to work on it, chance is i'll ask for a rewrite, with documentation and readable code. If your system is not readable and

Not really, being PHP, Python or Ruby, with the kind of load they are dealing with, no framework available out there is fitted.

He is right in saying that PHP is fast. In recent benchmark that we did at my company, mostly between PHP and .NET, i was able to make PHP match .NET speed with little effort, using my own framework. I have quite a lot of experience using P

I'm surprised that this went through with the CNIL (a french administration that takes care of user privacy and liberty), they are usually pretty tight on user information retention. Doesn't surprise me though, France has a long story of no

Which lets face it, is pretty common nowadays with all the scripting languages. In all honesty, for a while i felt like i was lacking knowledge compared to my fellow coworkers, but after a while in the job, there is one truth that i only be

Agreed, i asked on Twitter about these kind of stuff (more specifically about Redis, but that applies to anything), never got an answer. Right now, i have an access to PhpFog, it's "nice", but, without the ability of getting Redis, or Sphin

I work 10 to 6 in an office, and i do the same, wandering on Hacker News, /r/programming or /r/gamedev, arstechnica, Twitter, to too much but just enough. I find that trying to hard to concentrate just leads to bad stuff, so whenever i can'

I realize now that my "No." was misplaced, my "No" was the answer to "is 12,000 req/sec normal for a popular website".

No.

by Mikushi 16y ago
Interesting, but let's be honest for a second, in 99.99% of the cases, a classic Apache+mod_php will be well suited. You could count on your hands the number of sites that require a setup that needs to handle 12,000req/sec and more. If you

Redis solves the same problem, while offering way more features. In terms of speed, Redis is in the same area. Memcached is also a key-value store (quote from the official site "Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of

by Mikushi 16y ago
Sums it up pretty good. Only thing is, memcached is kinda outdated, it's not safe, can put very easily your environment at risk in case of crash. For anybody starting to wander in the world of caching with PHP, i'd recommend Redis, much be

I'll speak for the ones i've been dealing with (Pornhub.com, Brazzers.com, Keezmovies.com, XTube.com, and some other small ones). Since i started at my company, i only did a website from scratch on one occasion (Videobash.com, not porn), an

Yep that's me. I've been working for Manwin for the past 3 years and a half. Worked on almost every projects they've done. For the past 2 years, i've been involved specifically on the tube sites, Pornhub.com and other ones. I am currently

And that's a shame, i think we could learn a lot from Post Mortem posts of projects, especially if the project fails. It's also a good habit for yourself, to look back at the project, and analyse it, the mistakes that were made, why it did
235.
by Mikushi 16y ago
Agreed on that. Plus, i noticed a mistake made by a lot of people, Redis is NOT memcached. That's just as easy as that. You can use Redis the same way as you would use memcached, but that would be a waste. The power of Redis resides in its

Smokinn got it right. Stats that doesn't appear, we stream 1.2Billions videos/month (doesn't count embedded content).
