Ok, blog is back. Sorry about that guys. I guess we need to add the blog to the, we need two of those list.

For sure :-), we've had many HN articles, I wonder what was up with wordpress.

Give us a second, the server running the blog was apparently queued for a rackspace migration. Should be golden soon.

I actually have the completely opposite problem. If I start my day producing, (which I often do). I get too distracted doing work to eat until well after lunch time. One of my new years resolutions was to eat breakfast more often. So if I

Always cool to see more Hokies doing cool things :-). Turns out there are a lot of resources in town for this sort of thing: Dr. Perez in Computer Science, he actually has done a ton of research in how individuals use information (PIM) inc

Congrats guys! That is awesome!

That looks pretty interesting. I love the concept, I guess it just didn't really get the buy in that it needed. Matt's loader is less focused on making javascript safe to embed from the security standpoint, and is more focused on ensuring

The funny thing is that this shows that Google Analytics's async loader can actually slows down window.onload in some cases.

I know the Spreedly guys personally (and have been using them for years). Honestly, they underpriced their services and need to make more money if they are going to add features and build a better product. Doubling their prices certainly s

Sweet Olark ( http://www.olark.com ) for Windows Live Beta on it's way :-) -- I bet we could release it in a week.

Just out of curiosity (since you said ask me anything) -- How much did you sell TinyLetter for, and will you be joining Mailchimp? (What did the terms of the deal look like for this sort of acquisition?)

That paper is also 8 years old (or at least the timestamp on that page is way off) -- which was before node even existed. If it was so easy to implement their proposed high performance thread system (disclaimer: haven't read the paper) -- W

Typically there are on the order of 2000 files in a directory. It was a mistake.

The original onus for the post was python's os.listdir() which as far as I know doesn't stat(). ls, just made the blog post more interesting :-). I was surprised that the 32K reads were taking so long. It's possible since it was on a virtu

I wrote this, but I wasn't ready for prime time hacker news. I think it needs another revision ;-) -- definitely interested in feedback on the first pass.

In this case since it was a virtualized disk and it was reading in 32K chunks, I am fairly confident that this wouldn't have helped. Certainly find . would have been faster without calling stat(). Does os.listdir() stat?

no need for cache anymore. Word to the wise, make sure supercache is actually caching when copying wordpress installs :-)

by bcx 15y ago
I actually didn't try ls -f, but I did try find . and os.listdir and both hung with very similar straces

Should be fixed completely and fast now, SPW was a new blog so the cache config was support wrong :-)

You can list a directory containing 8 million files But not with ls.. (olark.com)

Great post guys, also great to meet you in person at IRCE. We collected a fair amount of data as well (not much as you guys)-- but we'll try to get another IRCE post out there :-)
