I have to wonder how much is "enough" then, our account wasn't that small when we finally ditched Akamai. Meanwhile none of the other CDNs has given us such a terrible experience. It's almost as if they care, imagine that! When you consider

You should avoid Akamai at all costs. They treat you like dirt under their fingernails until you have a 6-figure contract. And even then the experience remains nothing short of surreal... Report a service problem? Welcome to the indian sup

Sorry, I'm sure the Evernote tech team is competent What exactly leads you to this assumption? They designed a service that stores sensitive user-data in an obviously insecure fashion (no end-to-end encryption). If that's not incompeten

Nonsense. If your imaginary attacker can social engineer your local encryption password out of you, he can just as well engineer your Evernote password out of you. There is no difference. The real issue is that today someone who hacks the E

Let me be the first to say: HA-HA! </nelson> Over the past few years I've told everyone to refrain from using Evernote. I told them that Evernote doesn't use end-to-end encryption and that eventually this would happen. Hardly anyo

What content does yahoo have? Other than their "Answers"-garbage polluting my search results I don't think I have been in contact with any yahoo property for about 10 years...

It may be worth noting that local privilege escalation vulnerabilities have always been dime a dozen, this is just a more egregious one. In your planning always keep in mind that anyone with shell-access to your server can become root in on

If you run postfix you can have that even easier; look for smtpd_recipient_restrictions and check_recipient_access in 'man 5 postconf'. I'm running with this rule in the access map: /^from-.*@foobar.com$/ OK That accepts all mai

Oh the tears of sorrow the poor guy will shed into his heated swimming pool after being ejected from such a respectable business , with 200 million to his name... I don't think I have been this touched ever since Lassie died.

I disagree. HTTP is defensible, HTML also has its time and place. But what it evolved into (HTML/CSS/JS) is pretty obviously a dead-end waiting to happen. The number of hacks we pile on one another for a "modern web-application" is nothing

It's posts like this making it to the frontpage (and the inevitable comment thread) that make me sad about what HN has become. What happened to the idea of making submissions (and comments) cost karma points anyway?

No. I mean an isolated unit that could be ripped out at any time and would be immediately useful on its own. Anyway, abecedarius (below) has phrased it better than I could.

Yes, it's arbitrary and there are of course exceptions and perhaps domains where it may not apply at all. It's just a recurring observation that I've made (mostly but not only) in dynamic languages. Pretty much all good code that I've rea

Sourceforge used to be where code goes to die. Nowadays it's not even that anymore, I wonder when they will finally shut it down.

It is a shame that politicians are demagoguing with all this "they need to go to jail" talk Depending on how cynic you are you could believe this is exactly the message that $wall_street wants them to push. Everyone knows that nobody rele

The problem is not that something illegal happened. The problem is that what happened wasn't illegal. Prosecution is boring and pointless. We should focus on limiting the damage that the next crisis can do. There's the real problem: Nothi

You don't normally need a swap-drive on a storage node (if it needs to swap then something is wrong to begin with), but of course I don't know the details of what your nodes may do beyond dealing out files. The main advantage of PXE-booting

I wonder why they use a boot-drive at all instead of netbooting these things (or use a pair of USB-sticks).

I don't see why you'd drop to such an inefficient encoding (especially when dealing with URLs) instead of just using url-safe base64; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64#URL_applications

Sadly, after all these years, ion3 still remains unmatched - on any platform. Anyone who has used it will agree. Sadly most people haven't.

Wow. Imagine the origin server would have been Amazon S3. The webmaster would have incurred an Amazon bill of $400 USD per day after the switch.
