Slow loads are an individual implementation problem as much as it is a Wordpress problem. Wordpress will happily give you more than enough rope to hang yourself with (e.g. Recent Comments), but even slightly savvy engineers should be able t

I believe that's exactly the reason.

Absolutely, why would you ever do this without testing?

This is absolutely on the mark. It is well understood that scaling Wordpress correctly requires a couple of core hacks (see this excellent comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4693924 ). Why WPEngine does not incorporate these core

That was my issue, and yes, it absolutely is one of the many reasons why staging instances should have a caching on/off switch that mirrors production. It is absolutely 100% feasible that WPEngine's caching will break your site, and you nee

As great as this kind of thing is - and it's a great step forward for new types of online media - I find it incredibly frustrating that this is where so much developer time is being spent while basic box models are still broken in CSS. We n

To be honest... relatively high HDD prices combined with very low SSD prices make for a really interesting and progressive storage market! I'm glad to see the $/GB gap close significantly. One could make a very convincing case to buy at lea

Blizzard is often revered as one of those few studios, like Valve, that operate on "when it's done" time - game releases happen when they're ready, not when some publishing house requires it. As a result they have been monumentally successf

This was done a few times in XBMC & a few homebrew dashboards for the original XBox. The current iteration in Steam Big Picture is cleaner and benefits greatly from a high-resolution screen and the increased real-estate that brings. It'
