Please don't use the R word, which is so deeply emotive and meaningful, in such an inappropriate context.

Get a cheap load balancer that can make better decisions because it's operating at the HTTP layer... oh, nginx! :-)

Maybe you do, but then, maybe you have no idea what you're asking for and why it makes no sense.

Better than the rest? Sorry, but parliamentary systems with the executive sitting in the parliament, answerable to the members, seem better than the American system. In Australia, we use the nickname "Washminster" to describe our delightful

The OS X shell hasn't changed terribly much since it was first released. GNOME Shell ("GNOME 3") was publicly designed prior to anyone seeing Windows 8 or Unity (in fact, Unity started after the GNOME 3 development process began). GNOME has

Android is specifically not "GNU/Linux". It's a Linux kernel with an almost entirely custom user land, from the C library up. Sure, some of it is Open Source, some of it is even non-Google-created Open Source, but it's knowingly and speci

Sorry, but that simply isn't true for plenty of applications, particularly if they happen to be built on relatively slow platforms like PHP, Ruby, Python, etc. That's even before we get to the bulky frameworks built on top of those! If yo

A different perspective: If the database is the bottleneck in your web application, you have a problem in your code. :-)

"Apache configuration" is the bit that makes your website work better. ".htaccess" is the thing that slows down your web server. People choose odd titles. :-)

When switching to metric (or perhaps as a separate setting, I'm not sure what European dietary reporting requirements are like), please change from calories to kilojoules. :-)

Even better (the silence principle): #!/bin/sh imagesnap -q -w 3 "~/.gitshots/$(date).jpg" (date(1) with spaces will be fine due to the double quotes, although it won't be in date order when sorted by name, which would annoy me

I've never logged in to Pinterest, but this is a mighty fine (and incredibly unclunky) web UI for Instagram. Love it.

It is 2012, and anyone using PHP with Apache 2.2 will be using mpm_prefork. Much as the popularity of nginx deployments with PHP/fastcgi has grown, I suspect we'll see more mod_php-less Apache deployments as Apache 2.4 grows in popularity

wp-super-cache. The original* and the best. Saves cached pages to html and html.gz, which allows nginx to serve them straight out (without even compressing them on every request). * Not actually the original, but definitely the best.

Yes... sadly, Australia jumped in early on applicability to software. IBM's fault, natch. The case was in 1992, confirmed by high court in 1994. The USA didn't fuck it up until 1998.
