"The numbers given in this article do not account for any AWS reservation." While I agree that Google's pricing model is superior, the author's position on reserved instances accounts for ~40% of the cost difference. In

This is a good reason to never prefix generated Javascript with hex hashes, at least without swapping out vowels. We rolled the dice one and had this happen on Wikispaces once; it was utterly infuriating to debug.

This is 75% similar to a phone screen I passed (somewhat surprisingly, in hindsight) in 2003-2004. I don't think this is a director-level test, it's just a coarse engineer-track filter.

I found the criticism both non-constructive and selfish. The commenter is welcome to their opinion, but in _this context_ does it need to be said? Has the commenter added value or further reinforced what the author says in the first paragra

Too long? Don't read it. This is emotionally charged territory for the author. Respect it, and respect him. It takes courage to write like this in public.

I read this not a general purpose guide to hiring and firing, but as a guide to hiring and firing _executives_. This is consistent with the author's background. Note references to board approval, walking over to someone's office,

The title is misleading. While an amazing milestone, Norwegians can't head down to their local central bank branch and draw down their share of the fund. It's a bit like saying every man, woman, and child in the United States owes

As others have mentioned, nginx + one of the redis (or lua-redis) modules does this very well without the complexity of syslog in the middle. We load many millions of values a day via httpredis2. It's been rock solid. http:/&#x2F

Per the blog post listed from modern.ie, the IE6 VMs expire after 90 days and the others become crippled after 90 days. Sounds like more of the same. http://blog.reybango.com/2013/02/04/making-internet-explore

It depends on where in the Bay Area you want to live, what you consider a "good" house, and the size and makeup of your family, if you have one. A few bits of anecdotal evidence for San Francisco, 2013 prices that I've seen firsthand. In ma
