Isn't that about 3 clicks a second? Was there a database issue?

Interesting to read the (linked) article on how they actually built the support: http://blog.newrelic.com/2013/10/22/new-relic-node-js-apps/ Since node's native support won't land until 0.12, d

My parents ride with a group some of whom are in their mid 60s, and have no problem doing 100-150km/day. They are outliers, but it's by no means impossible. The worst part about a random person riding for 7 hours straight is bein

They open source a lot of their software. Check out tilemill: https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/

My deployment process does this too. One thing to be careful of is to make sure you're not deploying a different revision than the one you are on locally. For instance, if you have uncommitted changes locally, they will be reflected

Interestingly, you can. Limewire was open source, but charged for a "pro" version. (which was also open source, with the exception of some build files) The biggest problem with all of it was that there were a bunch of scam sites

"Kickstarter is amazing, but one of the hidden catches is that once you have taken a bunch of people's money to do a thing, you have to actually do that thing, and not some other thing that you thought up in the meantime." -

Even better, with a Raspberry Pi, you could build a physical switch to flip to turn ads on/off.

Unfortunately iOS broke the functionality somewhere around 5.1; it was still broken in 6 and I haven't checked iOS 7 yet. Animated gifs have the same issue: MobileSafari waits until the connection is closed before rendering anything.

But in this case I think they're correct. If the project is abandoned and forks don't ever get merged back in, development is fragmented and you end up having to pick and choose commits from various forks.

Ok, more simply, what about a network partition where the redis machine gets cut off from the RabbitMQ servers? My only point is really just that redis-as-a-queue has some bad failure modes if you aren't careful.

It'd be more nitpicky if the image were Creative Commons-licensed in the first place, but it wasn't. Buzzfeed linking back to the original is just pretending like it's CC and attribution is all that is required. (assuming th

What happens when your RabbitMQ queue goes down and messages start building up in redis? Won't that eventually use up all of the memory on the machine? We followed a similar path using Redis as a queue, and ended up having to write a &

So when the time comes to change the business logic you have stored in the database, do you have to ensure that every possible client that may use that business logic is updated at the same time? You could version your business logic in the

The downside for him may be that users don't really care whether they got a cracked version or a legitimate version when their computer gets infested with malware; they're going to write angry posts about it online and say his sof

I think some browsers already slow down the render loop in non-visible tabs, but the much nicer solution (if people use it) is the Page Visibility API.

Does anyone know if anyone is working on a standalone version of an event-based system for Chef? I'm not on AWS, but I think an event-based system similar to OpsWorks might have a nice fit between chef-solo and chef-server.

My company made the same switch from MongoDB to Cassandra, a little over a year ago. We were storing analytics counters in Mongo and wanted better consistency guarantees. What we found when we switched was that Cassandra had better consist

I was using 'valid' to mean that the community thinks they're valid, not to mean that the USPTO thinks they're valid.

The patents won't be killed if they're valid; it still has to go through the USPTO. Why do you think that killing those patents is not the right approach? Your approach (if it worked) would just incentivize filing more patents to

Something similar to your idea is the basis for the Arthur C. Clark novel The Light of Other Days .

COBRA, from my understanding, doesn't give anyone a free ride. It just means that the former employee has to pay the costs themselves: COBRA does not, unlike other federal statutes such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), req

This reminds me of the trick where you can create a GIF of more than 256 colors, by making an animated GIF with a different palette per frame and only selectively updating parts of the image.

The biggest factor I found was to turn off ajax-based workers and switch to cron. Also, disable any apps you aren't using.

Naturally, it is not possible to ensure that the server does not generate side-effects as a result of performing a GET request; in fact, some dynamic resources consider that a feature. The important distinction here is that the user did no

Do you guys have any plans to actually show the results of the DNS changes based on health checks? Connecting the health checks to cloudwatch is a great start, but it would be really useful to actually see which of my rules are in effect at

I also thought this was for Apple TV. Even though it isn't, it's theoretically possible to write apps that you control through your Apple TV by taking over one of the existing apps that you don't use. MLB is one of a few go
