Did I pass through a portal into another reality where Apple has a "patent" for black keyboards onto a silver notebook? Let's take a break and remember that Uncle Steve used to quote Picasso: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW0DUg63lqU

Most of the "security" is in fact obscurity: here's something I know, you don't, while in order to find out what I know is unfeasible for you to compute all the possible combinations. Same goes for the "randomness" theory.

First of all, mysqlnd is not a proper extension itself, but a backend for the mysql / mysqli extensions. Anyone that bothers to build PHP 5.3.x knows that mysqlnd replaces the libmysql dependency if the --with-mysql(i)=mysqlnd flag is passe

Ask HN: Borrowed from bcrypt into the SHA2 crypt() schemes. Now what?

The real issue is the power consumption, not the actual heating at 4GHz. But even if we don't count the OC, 3.1GHz+ is still beyond 3GHz by any decent math.

"Moving beyond 3GHz". Really?

Most of the servers suck at SSL without some sort of caching. Also, properly configured nginx setups have a fair share of keep alives.

http://www.openwall.com/lists/announce/2011/06/21/1 - some bcrypt implementations out there are still broken if they used this code. You may give the SHA-based scheme a chance.

By the manual page you mentioned: http://linux.die.net/man/7/socket > SO_SNDBUF: [...] The default value is set by the wmem_default sysctl and the maximum allowed value is set by the wmem_max sysctl . You can't use sysctl under Ope

First of all, there's no such thing as 18GHz. The GHz don't sum up. It's like saying that if a woman makes a child in 9 months, two women can make a child in 4.5 months. It doesn't work that way. Moving forward to the actual issue. Somethin

Event MPM is still a large pile of fail. Unless you're unwilling to switch from Apache, the benefits over Worker are mostly theoretical from the performance point of view. Hopefully this will change with 2.4, but only for those who didn't k

That would work, unless you're using a container-based VPS. OpenVZ is notorious for standing in the way of system tuning. Using nginx makes a lot of sense in this case, especially with the ey-balancer patch.

Putting aside Quercus, a PHP implementation on top on JVM, Zend at least provides a proper Java bridge into their Zend Server line of products, including the Community version: http://www.zend.com/en/products/platform/product-comparison/..

Rails 3 is a web framework . PHP isn't . I am always puzzled by the apple to oranges comparison: Rails vs PHP.

Silverlight runs on OS X. http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/... IIRC since day one. I used to be on Tiger when Silverlight showed up in public.

That might work for weekend hacking sessions. But for serious projects, most of the development process is financed by businesses. Take a peek at the Linux contributors: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/12/linux-kernel... ? but

Google does that with Chrome as well. Now go figure why BigCos do that with their browsers. PS: at least nginx takes care of this issue http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#msie_padding

I was talking about an older major release (3.0 and 3.0 RC2 were identical IIRC). Even 4.0 RC1 had Firefox/4.0 into the user agent string as well as into the About panel.

4chan.org was quite trivial. Got it with yahoo.com, powered up to max damage. I stole 'Too Much Information' from facebook.com in order to have level 2 attack on yahoo.com though. 4chan.org vs ycombinator.com - that was a long fight. 4chan.

As for other virtualization products, I tried in inside an OpenVZ setup (Proxmox 1.6). A container almost took down the hardware node. It was very slow, although responsive. "vzctl stop" timed out. Just a reboot brought back that machine. T
