I can't really remember, but we had tens of millions of files and the directory depth was 2, so there were approx. 80000 files in each directory (we used an md5 checksum for the directories). And we used ext3. I understand that the spe

Random access by filename was fast, since we used a hashing mechanism to locate the directory quickly. But (what I meant with "browsing") was slow backup and slow inspection using normal shell tools.

We tried exactly this approach, but browsing (ls) was really slow. If you would change the depth of the nesting in relation to the overall amount of files it might work better but then you would have to impl. a logic for moving files around

It would be cool to know how to regenerate one's plasma very fast in order to be able to donate plasma more often. But even if those methods exist, they probably cost money too thus decreasing overall profit.

Of course this statement is simply wrong. Multiple stakeholders have a share in developing software.

Well if you really do not care, what you use and what you develop, you could look into embedded programming. If you have gained some experience there (a lot of companies are willing to give a newcomer a go in this area, since developers are

Yes! If you have gained a bit of experience in Perl, you will feel a lot more productive and proud of your work. At least, I do. Also Perl is actually not about the hype. The Perl developers I know are usually quite humble and just want to

All good points. I was just wondering if there was a need for the service. Haven't thought much about implementation yet. There is a problem to be addressed, in my opinion. A lot of people need pressure to get work done. Think of &quot

Sounds like me. I always need pressure to actually get work done. This probably does not help you very much, but you could try to find a job working at the stuff you would want to do in your freetime - combining the pressure of a work envir

What is the purpose of such lists? Aren't you just going to search via google or directly on github anyway? My point is: A list is not worth much, if the criteria used for selecting the list's items, are not clearly stated.

Though they might not nessessarily be able to use it in marketing (most customers might think that UI should always be fast) and not charge a premium for "fast" UI, they might lose potential customers due to bad reputation.

That is even true for actions I triggered, for example: I click 4 icons on my desktop consecutively and thus 4 binaries start in the background. The order in which they appear is determined by their startup time: One pops up after another.

This manifesto had to be written as a formulated statement of a pure developer. But it probably can not be used as a manual for the software developer in a larger organization, because it puts the software developer out of context. A good s

Root cause: voters are not educated enough. They make gut decisions based on emotions while they should use their brain. So develop something that educates people AND feeds the emotional side.

I would call it "bad image" instead of "bad reputation", because when you look into it, a lot of very stable and maintainable software is written in Perl. I suspect the image of Perl is mostly derived from hearsay rather

If updates in Arch frequently "destroy" some features, you could do this: have two partitions, each with Arch on it and bootable from the boot manager. The first is minimal (rescue system) and the second is the one you use. Then b
