I think his refusal to accept from the web interface has more to do with the web interface being so far out of his normal workflow that it would be too disruptive for him. If you accept this pull request it might set some sort of precedent

The first poster in this thread made the statement: "If I need a quick dynamic page on my server, it's much easier to do this in PHP than in Python or Ruby." So yes, it really does matter in the context of this thread. On the whole I agree

But I never needed to worry about those three lines in PHP, to a new user that is important. To you and I they come naturally. PHP "is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML" [1]. Python "lets you work more qui

Let's look at the PHP version: Hello World! One line. I didn't have to worry about Linux/Windows, knowing HTTP headers or the fact that I need two CRLFs after the last header[1]. I just wanted a page that says "Hello World!" and t

Google, NYT, Amazon, et al. have data caching and it conceptually works in the same way as the idea of named data networking (on of the names of the idea above). However, named data networking would push a cache to every network device betw

Special Sandboxing that, I think, is implemented in Java. So this is an OS in the sense that it only depends on having a JVM and Lua interpreter installed. Not that this is a great metric (especially when the source languages are taken into

This is precisely the reason I stuck with GoDaddy for so long. My first domain was registered on 07-Sep-01 and, at the time, GoDaddy was the cheapest registrar I knew about/could find. I think this was even before they really started push

I don't have a Kindle or other ebook reader, so I can't speak from experience but are some publishers better than others? I mean, there are many very bad physical book publishers out there that don't (or minimally) edit the copy sent to t

I think Dropbox is considered SaaS (and doesn't precisely fit your definition of "web application"). I would put S3 into PaaS as it boils down to a storage platform. Right now I agree with saying IaaS is just a VM service, but I'd hesitate

> "Cloud" is what marketing and non-technical people use. I'm ok with that. I would assume this means he'll use the general "cloud" term when talking with non-geeks. Technical people should know that [SPI]aaS are specific parts of the "

My curiosity side agrees with you, but my practical side does not. > He says passwords were "hashed and salted." This could be anything from the naïve MD5(pass+salt) to the more secure bcrypt or PBKDF2. Now, I have every reason to belie

In what way is this table layout not that accessible? I just fired up Voice Over and it read the page in the expected order. (Heading, left text, right text, chapter list.) The only complaint I would have is the bad alt text on images in t

Indeed, my first thought on seeing all the options was: how could I game this? For example, if I live on the east coast (UTC-5) and select the lowest-cost option (3 hours of use from 1am until 9am for $20), but claim my timezone is the Alas

Does anyone know if there are tools out there that look at a code base and find "similar" snippets of code? I would expect such a tool to parse the language into AST form and find branches that are the same except some identifiers and a few

That doesn't say that Amazon is their CDN at all. They probably use AWS for pages and user-oriented stuff, but content delivery is done through Level 3 [1]. [1] http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/11/11/us-levelthree-idUS...

I'm inclined to agree with this fraction. I just used POP3 to LIST the first 360 messages in my mailbox and the graph shows an distinct upshot around 95%. Around 95% of my (360) emails consume 6.5% of the space (360 messages take).

It's been a while since I used an IDE (instead of vim), but don't most of them support code-folding that provides a light gray bracket for a block of code (usually with a collapsible indicator at the top)? Or is the effect you want slightly

You don't need to give them your password or phone number, just the email address associated with your account(s). Adding a phone number would be optional.

Unfortunately, this is very x86 device dependent and most embedded devices are not x86.

Yeah, I was planning on writing something more about NAPI and GRO at the beginning of the next part, though I'm not sure there is terribly much to GRO. I hadn't thought about zero-copy yet though, but it is certainly important so I'll prob

I'm sure it isn't 100% accurate (Linux has some complexities to it after all), but I welcome any constructive criticism. I want to improve my low-level understanding before forging ahead to the higher level details that I'll write about in

I would not be surprised if Maurice Herlihy managed to get a Turing Award in the next few years. I would be surprised if Stallman got a Turing Award however. I can't think of anything beyond his philosophy that makes him stand out in any t

I can't explain why double the logarithm of the number of passwords stored would be the target. But it does make sense to have at least log_2(n) salts for n passwords. That would guarantee each password, even if they were all identical, w

Precisely what I was thinking. Does anyone know if there is a reason Intel hasn't just acquired ARM? I assume Intel believes that they might still be able to compete and win in the market, but that seems to be less true every day. (I assu

Perhaps, right now I'm in a condo so I still don't have to worry about most of those things. But I still think just having a choice between hiring someone competent and doing it myself is a nice one. I stress competent because my previous

Hmmm, my coffee must not have kicked in at that point. I skipped right over the "mouse pilots" part and just assumed "mice." It seems entirely plausible that they have exposed mice to backscatter scanners for extended periods and studied t

I absolutely agree with the satisfaction of repairing something yourself. In fact, I think even having the choice of either repairing it myself or hiring someone I deem competent to repair it is a worthwhile difference. When I was an a
