Instagram would be worth north of $6B based on what, exactly? It just doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe it is because I live in Europe and Instagram is ad-free here so I can't really see it changing peoples lives.

You might be confusing forward- and reverse proxies. Transparent forward proxies can now go bugger off. They will not be able to intercept HTTP/2.0 traffic. Reverse proxies, in front of web applications will need to terminate the SSL b

There are now no less than three 1st tier, mid-sized "native" fully electric vehicles on sale here. The Leaf, the BMW i3 and the e-UP in addition to the converted Ford Focus Electric. The Leaf is finally getting some competition.

That a bug. Probably an architecture dependant one or some package maintainer who messed up. Your experience with Apache httpd on your little homebrew computer gadget doesn't say anything about Apache httpd and how it is usually deploy

The awesome thing about munin is that you can throw together an agent for $METRIC in 5 minutes using shell. Getting high level business metrics in with the system metrics is gold.

Re moving to a service model: The problem with doing such a move is that it requires a whole different skill set than just being software developers. They would have to be a much more operationally focused company handling all the hurdles t

I don't know how they progress through the IP space, but couldn't they simply solve this by doing it in a deterministic manner? At progress N they should easily be able to tell that A has been scanned. Iterating three times throug

"Oil changes every 5k miles and major services every 15k don't qualify as "just works" in my book." Newer cars require oil change/service every 30000 km / 2 years. That would be ~20k miles.

Facebooks engineering seems to have weird priorities. They seem put all their effort into crazy stuff like "Graph Search" whilst ignoring incredibly annoying issues like not having a basic search engine to find your own posts or having two

Of course there are reason they shouldn't do an Android phone. Being (more or less) exclusively WP is worth a lot when negotiating with Microsoft. Also, having one OS instead of several makes marketing a lot easier. (I know they still have

I don't think that is correct. They never compared themselves to Oracle. I spent some time with Monty parts of the team and also tried working with their business side and they never went after the Oracle workloads. Their huge popularity c
