I second that. It is mature technology, can be easily integrated with spam and virus filters and its configuration is quite logical. It should handle 40000 emails a day on an old machine easily (it is about twice a second on average).

It's interesting, I registered Quora last week and it was optional to use your Facebook or Twitter account to register. It was a bit tricky because it looked like you need it, but you could make progress without it. But I rechecked a minute

I have an old idea regarding webservers: peer-to-peer file transfer. The server would not store the file on disk, only the last transferred block in memory. Rate control would be done at TCP level: while the block is not transferred by the

The Registry is a pseudo file system inside the file system. It is one of the reasons that Windows is so much harder to backup and restore than Unix is, because parts of it contain system state and other parts contain configuration and the

This feature is also in C and in Go language. It makes especially easy to write code generators, because you don't have to deal with first/last special cases.

Just-in-time compilation is not a new idea. According to the book "The Practice of Programming" (by Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike, Ch9, pg. 242): "Generalizing the idea for the full set of operations, we can write an on-the-fly compiler t

If you start a thread for each request in Java, you can easily run out of memory when serving large number of connections. This is because Java uses kernel threads, and the stack of threads are allocated from heap when created, usually arou

Here is a thread from the Red5 mailinglist: http://osflash.org/pipermail/red5_osflash.org/2009-August/03... The main issue is that the spec says (5.4, page 10) that in C2 and S2 messages you send random bytes. If you do that only VP6 stre

I was afraid that the usefulness of HipHop would be as limited as is regarding that it's not an easy feat to create a PHP-to-C++ compiler that handles C library dependencies (which PHP has a lot!) well. BTW It was the second time in a week

Where is the link to download it or just the documentation? On the announcement page there is only a Wiki link (besides wikipedia entries and other php-to-other-lang compilers) to a Github page that redirects to the github.com.

I like the Lisp approach to optimize the program by adding hints to the runtime about types and the ability to tune the optimizer's aggressiveness from the code. It really makes possible to write the correct algorithms first, then later add

It reminded me the old saying that "every C program can be written in one line". Think about it, it's true. For me it was similar to obfuscated C code, when one line of code packed with funny symbolic names produces a program that shows a b

If it is your dream job why don't you accept the offer? If you don't like it, you can still start your own business after a year or later (I don't know how old you are). If you like it, you can also start you own business, maybe a bit later

The cursor works too, but you can't reach Space easily that way. Probably it advises to use A and D for control so that you can use your left hand for keyboard and right hand for mouse. On a second thought Up should work as space, and curso

Macros can easily be abused, but the point of the preprocessor today is platform-dependent code generation. In higher level languages you can select with an if which branch gets executed, but at the end the platform-dependent code of that l

A better simple rule: always use sizeof on typename. That always works therefore you can use typedef arrays too.

Here is an example that caused me a few bugs. // define a new type called md5_t typedef char md5_t[33]; md5_t g_md5; // here sizeof(g_md5) == sizeof(md5_t) void f(md5_t md5) { // here sizeof(md5) == sizeof(char*) }
