The problem here is that considering how these consulting companies are structured, how they work and their size, the capability to hire good developers imho is not even there. Also, are companies like Accenture chosen by their clients for

That was one of the reasons why i politely declined when i was asked if i was interested in a interview for the consulting branch. A place where people with zero experience are hired, trained in a few weeks and them sent to some client as

The open_file_cache_* options in nginx (but other server have similar options) allows to cache in memory the file so the disk is used only when the cached value is no more valid (timed to 30s lifetime on the linked tests). After a quick ref

And in the end, the only meaningful benchmark for you is the one performed on your deployment environment and with your application. These generic tests (if the conditions in which they were performed are clear) can only be used to skim thr

Old post, as a side note, i've performed some tests with nginx and his configuration 1-2 weeks ago on linode and the results on the smallest linode were nearly 10-15% less than what the author report in his post (quite good imo). If someone

No problem ceejayoz, i saw this on Reddit too so i took the chance to point out that behavior. Edit: Seen your update... yes, obviously. What i was referring to is, instead, similar to the practice discussed a while ago of "bot-posting" stu

Judging from the title of the same post on Reddit i'd say that yes, that was the original intent. (I really don't like this practice of cross-posting stuff from Proggit, i've seen it a lot, even from top HNers)

They fixed it, btw www.paulphusion.de was still pointing to his old address at 81.169.145.158. I don't know what he did, but it seems that he didn't follow what posterous suggested (adding an A record to its domain pointing at posterous). S

Reading a bit the project site the only interesting (not to the general public) thing is the fault injection extension to qemu that uses a subset of VHDL* to define tests, even if it's not really clear what you can do with that. Definitely

That "on its own" implies that depression will solve itself even if you don't take any action, simply one day it will disappear, you just need to wait. Not likely in my opinion. These statistics are about the population trend with yearly sa

I really doubt that clinically diagnosed depression is something that solves itself naturally after x months. Anti-depressants are likely not the best solution (not a solution at all?) but some introspection practices (orthodox practices b

"If depression didn’t exist — if we didn’t react to stress and trauma with endless ruminations — then we would be less likely to solve our predicaments." Sure, endless ruminations about what could be non-problems help us solve them... T

If you are searching for a designer, the sites listed above are not the right places, i'd try with 99designs.com or manually searching a designer from dribbble.com. If you decide to go the 99design way (easier maybe) read this: http://blog
