   Okay, maybe I should have written "anybody technical" instead of just "anybody."

   For anyone wondering why anybody uses Safari these days, the simple answer (for me, at least) is that it consumes much less CPU and energy on my MacBook Pro than Chrome and Firefox. It can mean an hour or more of battery life when unplugged

   Sam, thank you for taking some time to answer our questions. Mark Suster and other VCs have recently expressed distaste for convertible notes and SAFEs. Are you still in favor of SAFEs? In general, what are your thoughts on seeking seed fun

   Sam has answered this question in various forms and fashions on several past occasions and I thought you would like to know what he said at those times. But feel free to be snarky and swear at us instead.

    That is a heck of a short turn-around time (about one month) to upgrade the entire LTS install base. 12.04 is on LTS through late 2017 and 14.04 is on LTS through late 2019. I think it's reasonable to expect servers running those opera

    I was thinking the same thing and actually tweeted in response to Ilya expressing my concern. Unsurprisingly, he did not write back!

    I feel stupid having to ask this question, but is a backup key literally just a different SSL certificate issued by the same or another CA for the same domain(s)? You keep it on standby in case your primary certificate is compromised? Do I

    Ah, interesting. It looks like that feature has been added to Varnish Cache Plus, but it hasn't yet made its way into the generally-available open source product.

    If you want to run your own LXC or Docker you might need a custom kernel to enable aufs.

    I'm not familiar enough with Redis's clustering features to speak to the exact issues with what you're proposing, but generally speaking, HA is almost a completely different problem than disaster recovery (DR). Sure, the prot

    That should read, "compression cores separate from my encryption (and DoS) cores".

    That may very well be true, but I think the author of this article and other MySQL skeptics would be surprised by how far MariaDB 10.1 has come in addressing these limitations and others since the bygone days of MySQL 5.5.

    I may be in the minority but I actually prefer that they are two different layers. Keeps my compression (and DoS) cores separate from my encryption cores and gives me two different levers to pull for scalability. HAproxy is so good at what

    I'm definitely interested in this if for no other reason than Varnish is a particular nice piece of software. I would like to see a detailed feature and performance comparison between Hitch and HAproxy but I can't seem to find one

    It was more like someone saying, "Foo is not bar," someone else saying, "How is foo not bar? Bar is bar," and then me saying, "Because bar has a different meaning, colloquially, at certain companies."

    I know HAproxy will aggressively use kernel features to reduce the amount of actual packet handling it does. For example, it does zero-copy forwarding using the splice system call. How this compares to what seesaw does is over my head, thou

    ColdFusion was a breath of fresh air in the mid-to-late '90s when the predominant technologies were CGI/Perl and ASP/VBScript (pre-.NET). I used to love showing other programmers e.g. "Here's how you create a databa
