Very interesting. I'm surprised that there's no way to limit the size of Erlang queues and therefore memory usage. Surely simple limits like that are a necessity for any production environment? Can anyone with deeper knowledge about Erlang

How does your conclusion follow from the first sentence? It sounds like you're using your own individual experience to draw conclusions about how Nginx took off across the entire world, without any actual evidence to prove that the two are

TL;DR: After being dissatisfied with his earlier publishing efforts, Shed Simove found a cheap printing house online and used Amazon to sell his books directly, rather than going through a traditional publishing house. Once he had the book

I think it totally depends on what you do there. I'd probably hire someone who has the full gamut of dev, sysadmin and customer interaction experience from a startup. Less so if they couldn't effectively describe how they'd helped get the b

Great explanation on how it works. I was wondering the other day whether there was a way to tell when a tab gets the focus to autoupdate content. Now I know I can use window.focus and window.blur.

I was confused about which were actual images taken of the star and black hole. The first one looks like an "artist's impression" - is it just the grainy picture at the end which actually captures it?

Maybe if you live in a cold climate, then wearing a long-sleeved shirt and trousers won't be a problem. In Sydney, where I work for a company that permits casual dress, most of engineers show up in shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops for the who

My company tends to get t-shirts from the same supplier most of the time. So keeping a size on record for everyone would be a great idea for us.

Yes, systems can definitely fake any ID you attempt to use: MAC addresses, machine IDs, hostnames, etc. Attackers can intercept rekey attempts and clone the new key on their systems. But arguing that these improvements shouldn't be done bec

The title is poorly chosen. The article describes a new proposed method of formulating gravity in terms of quantum physics. Gravity is clearly not a 'force' according to the common Newtonian definition of that word.

> If it turns out gravity is not really a force ... It definitely isn't. The word "force" implies a Newtonian model for physics. Under general relativity, gravity isn't seen as a force but a consequence of curved space-time. The title w

I agree that this doesn't come across so well with your current copy and examples. Some more realistic examples in your target markets might help to make this clearer. Basically, the "Abe for President" line makes it seem very heavily targe

Oh, right. It's another one of those broken geographic domain-switching sites. It automatically redirects people in Australia to www.popsci.com.au, which doesn't have the relevant article. Apologies for the flag, OP.

That's a cool idea. Accelerometer support for JS was added to iOS 4.2 [1], so it should be possible to modify the CSS transformations based on the DeviceOrientation [2]. [1] http://www.mobilexweb.com/blog/safari-ios-accelerometer-webs...
