I've never had a positive experience with a co-worker or employee who "just kinda does stuff." I have had the pleasure to work with a number of people who do many things well, and adapt in rapid succession to the kinds of situations startu

"You might have a provocative, fun name. But do you have the basis for a lasting brand? We still don't know how compelling a brand Yahoo will be 10 years from now. I sense a real missed opportunity."

I generally agree with the advice in this article, excluding the bit about "each request that Apache handles loads PHP". nginx is glorious software, and the combination of nginx / fastcgi / and APC work very well. At Wikispaces we serve o

I'm curious if Pingdom's DNS testing is sufficient to draw performance conclusions about these services. I ask because the summary results table is curious: it only lists the first NS record for each hostname. (NB: luilui.com does not see

Aside from most people being bad judges of their own sense of humor, it strikes me that many of these jokes land in the subtle-middle-mediocre swamp. If you're going to do one of these pranks, you've got to go to extremes. Way over the to

I've been moving our domains over to Gandi one by one. Just too much baggage and potential downside with GoDaddy, as has been reported on HN now dozens of times.

My comments on the release of lighttpd 1.4.20 speak to this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=319301 In brief, nginx is a glorious piece of software. Despite a strong early showing in 2006-2007, lighttpd isn't.

MogileFS will get you close to this, but stores files with its own ID and directory scheme. If filenames don't matter, or if you have a gateway that's handling the mogile lookup and filename translation, it's a great solution. If you alrea

Genetify ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=376331 ) is one system that was recently open-sourced. A good discussion about it is on John Resig's site: http://ejohn.org/blog/genetic-ab-testing-with-javascript/

While it's sad to see these products close, this strikes me as a long-overdue sign that Google does in fact follow the same laws of physics as everyone else.

I imagine many startups with batch or non-time-critical processes do this sort of shaping naturally. It strikes me as a 'crontab' mentality: "What time should I run job X every night? Whenever our load is lowest, and when nothing else is
