"In the US, the police can take anything they want from you without compensation." This is an outrageous statement. There are special exceptions to the law, but the 4th Amendment of the Constitution explicitly protects citizens from illegal

It doesn't really matter. For simplicity put SPDY on the edge and reverse proxy HTTP to whatever you used to use, this gets you 90% of the way there. In the future, I expect we'll see tools like Mongrel2 take over. SPDY on one end, and some

Do you use GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick? Shell out or python bindings? What settings do you use for: MAGICK_MEMORY_LIMIT MAGICK_MAP_LIMIT MAGICK_DISK_LIMIT Do you tune them dynamically or just set and forget?

I like that I can run my Jekyll blog for free on Heroku, and it is served entirely out of Varnish. Seems like you are paying more money for crap performance. In addition, my blog regenerates in < 5 seconds on Ruby 1.9.3.

The JVM is already seeing a resurgence with Scala/Clojure/etc. What about the JIT projects? LuaJIT, Rubinius, PyPy and V8? All of these are close enough to Java to not matter.

this is MySQL specific, but we do this and it is a HUGE win for us MySQL doesn't support descending indexes, so for a large class of problems you will have to scan the entire index to find the last 10 items, especially when sorting by ite

The number of visitors you have is irrelevant. If you have any visitors you are doing them a huge disservice if you do not have SSL session caching. You would use external SSL caching like this if you have more than one SSL termination poin

The important metric is dollars. According to a random internet article, iPhone accounts for less than 3% of phones shipped, but 40% of the profits. iPhones make more dollars. edit apparently Apple's mobile market share is up to 4% with m

The limitation of the root can (and will, I predict) be overcome by combining host and dns provider APIs. If Heroku had a way to push A record changes up to applications using their infrastructure they would be able to deal with this sort o

This still doesn't protect you from UPDATE statements. I suppose you could pull it off if you could be absolutely certain that you were only CREATEing. You still have the problem that replication is single threaded, so this doesn't scale yo

There is a difference between multi-master and circular replication. To me, Multi-master is that I can write to both masters at the same time, which implies there is a way to resolve conflicts. Databases like Cassandra (timestamps) and Riak

You can't do multi-master with MySQL anyways, which until very recently has been the only "engine" RDS supports. Even if you could do multi-master, replication is still single threaded. You have to come up with your own sharding scheme. Thi

Did you get stuck in the Fedora 8 trap as well? It was the 'starter' in 2008/2009 and it took us two years to get off it.
