Fair enough. You didn't offend me, I just see that sort of conclusion quite a bit; I think it was the way you worded it.

by jedsmith 16y ago
I have to disagree, based upon my reading the question. "You're down. Why? I thought Node could handle it." I don't have any stock invested in Node, personally, but it sounded like a conclusion had already been made by the asker.

I really hate when something being down automatically translates in peoples' minds to a reflection upon the tools. That's like blaming plow manufacturers for a snow day; while possible , there's far more explanations that are likely before

That's a bit unfair to jedberg, who actually runs the site with his operations team of two (one of them a new hire). This article and the comments are putting far too much weight on the developer, as if Reddit is a site that's constantly it

That's the situation we have now, isn't it? Some things are easier to filter, since there are lists of porn sites under any TLD and appliance makers utilize them today. So, your improvement is pretty much nil.

It isn't about the language in this case, it's more about the implementation of a consistent framework. The GUI will obviously change from platform to platform, but the .NET framework (for the most part) works on all of those platforms. Tha

If the operator gets its way, the .xxx TLD will reportedly have three sunrise periods[1]: The first period would allow owners of porn-related trademarks to claim their .xxx domain names and use them as normal, ... the second would enable n

For a community that hates FUD about open-source, there is no shortage of FUD about Mono and Miguel de Icaza. It's ironic, really.

Definitely. Another term for mostly the same thing, in my book. I talked about this here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2340734 VPS providers give you the tools, cloud providers give you the tools and a few finished products with le

Reddit didn't start with the cloud, though. Very early, they were on dedicated and found it inflexible to their needs, and scaling a site with the eyeballs that Reddit has would have been very difficult with their first architecture. The "e

Oh, it's certainly about cost. When you talk about paying for your own transit, your own power, cage space, and remote hands, cloud providers can be significantly cheaper than owning the hardware. You also lose the administrative overhead o

The cloud significantly lowers capital expenditure to get into an Internet-enabled business, which cultivates the very startup ecology that Y Combinator exists to leverage and support. Those teenagers who started the Facebook Pokemon game w

I downvoted you because as true as it might be, it's not constructive to call the OP out, and you're adding some of the very noise that you're complaining about.

Do pilots start that program with absolutely no experience, or do they have to have a license (private? ATP?) already? That's a hell of a deal, given the civilian path to flying for an airline in the States and the debt that rides along.

The perspectives of disgruntled employees have been known to be worse than reality, on occasion. Not definitively saying that's the case here, just saying.

Never fails: a cloud provider has issues with a specific cloud product, so clearly the cloud is an illusion that will crash down on you[1]. Any discussion about any cloud provider's product is obviously a chance to soapbox about the i

If you're talking about those comments at the bottom, one of the accounts was created just to leave the comment, and all of them were left very rapidly after the actual item was submitted. I don't personally agree with this, but I can see a

Those congratulatory comments were all left in a row, and one of the accounts was created just to leave one. That might have triggered somebody's "noise" radar; I haven't voted on anything in this thread, and I don't see them as noise perso

Not sure why you got downvoted -- it's an important point, and was brought up elsewhere in this discussion.

I missed the "detailed methodology" near the end. Thanks for pointing that out.

The earthquake's distance beneath the Earth's surface, which I believe starts at 0km on the ocean floor for the purposes of these measurements -- meaning, the water has nothing to do with it and the word depth is a coincidence. That confu

I upvoted it because I was looking for the underlying meaning of an elegant comment. Surely it means something, I said...

Fair enough. Will be good to see a correction, then (like that'll happen) -- most of the big names in the media have already run with milli-. Takeaway for me from this: units for radiation exposure suck, and don't communicate well to the la

It might be where they're measuring. He went on to indicate that at the gate, the measurements had just reached the milli- level; perhaps the exorbitantly high figure is very close to the core?
