Virtually no one does this. If their own laziness is enough of a hurdle for them to not bother, I'm fine with that.

That's a whole lot of "what ifs". I'd rather just block people that are consuming resources and potentially affecting service levels for actual customers (or people that will actually convert). The situation you paint mi

Interesting. I've always been attracted to the idea of the Volt, but having both an ICE and EV components struck me as worst of all worlds when it comes to maintenance. I take it you haven't found that to be the case? Do you have

FYI, what you've linked to is a breakdown for the licenses of various projects comprising GraalVM. The licenses you listed only apply apply to TruffleRuby. Having said that, Graal and its related projects are all open source, with a li

The headers are one component of a response. The body is often larger than 1 KB.

People routinely read text files larger than 1 KB into memory. HTTP responses are often larger than 1 KB. Serialized data (JSON, XML, etc.) is often larger than 1 KB.

As for another example in the wild, many people have settled on "invite" instead of "invitation."

I was uncertain which to use and went with the site announcing what was new, even if a bit corporate. I guess I picked wrong. Thanks for fixing.

If you can achieve the same rendered output much faster with a different runtime or with a rewrite or with a different framework, I don't think you're looking at a fundamental design flaw with the page. I'm happy to agree to

Doesn't basecamp do a ton of caching to achieve response times like that? There are certainly techniques to get there, but how long does it take to populate the caches? That's what you're going to see out of a stock Rails app
553.
by nirvdrum 9y ago
I don't think it's uncommon. But the point is it usually has little to do with load and isn't easily solved by scaling horizontally. Sure, you might be able to gain some efficiencies with distributed caches and such, but that
554.
by nirvdrum 9y ago
I don't think it's that much of an edge case. If Rails and its ecosystem lead to 300ms render times without load, but your objective is 100ms, you're going to have a problem. I don't think either number here is extreme a

Yeap! And if you're on a private network you can leak internal domain names. Or, if you some hosts that are available publicly but resolve differently internally, you'll get the wrong IP. I think the only real solution is to kill

It shouldn't. I must've just gotten myself mixed up. I thought this thread was about Chrome phoning home. Sorry for propagating confusion.

Last I knew, you couldn't disable Chrome's async DNS feature, which will bypass your system's configured DNS servers and use Google's own. So, while certainly not the same level of tracking that Google Analytics or even

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, so I'll split it in two parts and hope one of them is applicable. > With Truffle i can get whatever prog lang abd compile it with Graal and either use with Graal VM or Substrate VM

The native image generator performs a closed-world static analysis over your application, the JDK, and any supplied libraries to determine what's actually in use. In cases of ambiguity, it must be conservative and include all candidate

If you're interested, I gave a talk at RubyConf a couple months back with updated info for TruffleRuby on the SVM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIMldcAzd5o The SVM is a critical component in achieving some of our pe

Agreed. I'd go a step further and say requiring constant upgrades to get even security patches makes semantic versioning essentially pointless. It doesn't really matter that the version number indicates an API change if my only ch

Tomato allows selective routing, both by destination and by device, so that's helpful. Your setup definitely avoids some of the overhead mine has. But, really, I'd just like the little ARM processor in my R7000 to be able to keep

by nirvdrum 9y ago
It's a legitimate point to consider. I've set up my home router with Tomato by Shibby, which allows routing all traffic over a VPN link. I was finding the router couldn't keep up with a 50 Mbps link. Granted, these routers ar

You're probably aware, but the desktop i3 does support ECC. Well, at least through the 7th generation. It looks like now that it's added 2 cores in the 8th generation, ECC has been dropped (NB: I didn't look at all models). S

Blender sorta did that. It was a closed source project that the authors said they would open source if the community raised €100,000. It succeeded and the software was subsequently made open source.

I understand where your concern is coming from, but I think you're missing a few of the pieces: * When it comes to Selenium, Simon (the guy you replied to) is about as authoritative a voice as they come. * The death of Selenium IDE is

FYI, T-Mobile US rolled out a free spam blocking feature at the start of the year, but you have to opt into it (presumably because of the risk of dropping valid calls). I don't know if it applies to prepaid, unfortunately. If you log i

Fair enough. I listed Micro Center because they routinely have the best deals on CPU prices and often have incredible CPU & motherboard combo prices. For a while you basically could get a Ryzen motherboard for free with the CPU and they

by nirvdrum 9y ago
Not to take away from your numbers, but you should consider the cost of the motherboard, too. The HEDT Intel motherboards tend to be more expensive than what the Ryzen ones are going for and much harder to find replacements for down the lin

Thanks for confirming. I'll string something together.
