That's the point. emmett said they would need an average of 365 people uploading at all times. You two are saying the exact same thing ;-)

As an anecdotal counterpoint, I'm an extremely happy Name.com customer. I transfered several domains to them a year or so ago from GoDaddy. They support two-factor authentication, their interface is uncluttered, I pay them less money than I

And low-level access (to me) means root access. The only lower level access I can think of would be if someone broke into the datacenter and stole the server ;)
245.
by nbpoole 16y ago
Low-level as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-_and_low-level , not as in "very little access" (which I'm assuming is the impression you're getting: correct me if I'm mistaken)

The word "only" isn't appearing in the article right now. API keys are used as an example of what's contained in the code. I wouldn't worry about MySQL passwords though: Automattic controls their database servers, so they can generate new c

If you do that, you have to be very careful. I actually did a writeup about this a few days ago that I posted on HN: https://nealpoole.com/blog/2011/04/setting-up-php-fastcgi-an... tl:dr is that the configuration you're suggesting will le

Sorry about that. I deleted my original post because I liked reddittor's phrasing better. But since you decided to reply to my post, I'll respond too. :-) --- "And decided that said heavily-trafficked articles should be deleted as being unn

This is a bad way to store hierarchical data in MySQL: the performance is terrible due to the number of queries that have to be issued. The nested set model ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_set_model ) is a better solution.

by nbpoole 16y ago
Right, I understand that. I'm just surprised that they aren't showing off benchmarks or statistics to quantify the performance gains they're seeing.
253.
by nbpoole 16y ago
I'm not seeing any benchmarks: since they tout speed as a major selling point, that surprises me. Edit: For instance, the blog post mentions being inspirsed by MurmurHash, which touts its performance on its site along with benchmarks ( http

This is a very old technique. I came across it six or so years ago: the article where I found the code, http://odetocode.com/humor/68.aspx , is from 2003. It's a lot of fun though. And PJL can be very interesting to work with: I built a to

Didn't mean to imply you were: I was suggesting that the change might have been temporarily reverted. Looks like it's back now.

Looks like it's fixed now.

Like pg said: " so don't freak out of the site changes in some way. It will probably change back. " The orange dots / hidden points change has probably been temporarily reverted, that's all.

Google does not consider this to be a security vulnerability (or at least not one they feel they can deal with). See http://www.google.com/corporate/rewardprogram.html (Logout cross-site request forgery is the section to look for).

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. I do plan to test that later today though.

Yup, that was the first page I found too: it's also the first result for "php nginx 0 day." I link to it a couple times in the post. :)

So you registered the account recently, and when you did you somehow "supplanted" the existing account? Or have you had the account for a while and suddenly started getting this guy's mail?

Couldn't this just be a person who doesn't know how email works? Maybe they use joenone@aol.com and just assume that gmail.com works the same? The reason I suggest it is that the "dots don't matter" behavior has been in Gmail for a while. I
