Pretty impressive the benchmarks, though they are getting close, having to re implement all the C extensions is definitely going to suck -- you can for example use twisted, but nothing that uses SSL, because twisted normally calls into pycr

really good insight into the media industry, I've worked more on the inside of it under IAC, and I totally see this expectation that people will pay these media mogels for content -- I also worked at Joost, on the relative outside, trying t

I've used berkeley for hundreds of concurrent queries -- it is quite good in those situations, SQLlite is not -- its just not designed for those situations. combining the two brings an easy interface that sqlite provide, and the concurrent

I would be very interested in any register that supported at least SMS for multi-factor authentcation, hell I wouldn't even mind having a real token. The Apache Software Foundation has had some issues in the past with guys trying to hijack

strangely, I agree, I love using steam, even though its completely DRMed and I don't get any control over the game -- but at the same time I can download games on new computers, pre-load games before release day, and do it all painlessly. Y

This is an issue specifically with Thrift -- not with Cassandra. You can see the opinion of the Cassandra developers, which is pretty negative towards thrift, in the linked ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-601 This is

hacking on it in httpd trunk man, just working for this startup called cloudkick keeps distracting me from the real priorities in life :-)

Actually, I would contend that the pre-forking architecture WAS the correct architecture for first 10 years. Remember how much PHP crashes?

I don't really care if they are doing any of the above, that is certinally their rights as a Business to optimize their infrastructure, but the problem is all about their lack of communication about the latency issues.

Only seen it done by ordering/colocating your own hardware so far. SSDs are still bloody expensive for one, and the people who really need them generally already have a decent HW footprint and are more likely to be renting whole racks, thou

This is just wrong. The Virtual Memory Size (VSZ as he calls it in the article) is not what is important. Measuring actual memory preasure and costs on modern Linux is pretty non-trivial, just look at this wiki page about Spam Assassin: ht

its a decent enough test, mostly because most geeks out there have done it themselves, so you can get a good 'feel' for a machine by knowing how long it takes to compile the kernel. its not perfect, and yeah, its kinda a geeky-benchmark, bu

This is a pretty huge step. C++ support in Clang has always lagged behind, but the Clang internals is all C++ -- as mentioned in the blog it isn't self-hosting yet, just self-building, but this is major step in making Clang a true replace

I would use Silicon Mechanics or Dell http://www.siliconmechanics.com/ http://www.dell.com Both of them have 1u server builds pretty cheap, with 2-4 SATA or SAS disks depending on your needs. Most everywhere else will be the same prices

I'm glad the JSGI spec is fleshing out, the web connector API will allow many more frameworks to get started easily, rather than forcing Javascript programers to hack on java or C to build a webserver first. Once JSGI is done, it really wil
