[0] Yep. Although, to be fair, that is simply a generated expression based on what I assume are much simpler starting rules. That said, and this is a topic that never ceases to come up, be simple and be lenient. For every person who thinks

It seems the media is just starting to notice the non-bitcoin crypto currencies: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/litecoin-heres-everything-know... Although, to be fair, Wired noticed it back in June: http://ww

Indeed. If bitcoin were to go from $1K to $1M in the near future, we would be talking a 12 trillion USD market cap - roughly on par with the US GDP. Not to say it is an impossible scenario, but like you said, the implications are much great

I completely get that. I responded to the parent because he introduced the 20,000 req/s number as a comparison point. The Google test is both a theoretical max throughput (that one wouldn't reach under basically any normal use cas

by rallison 13y ago
Yes, but! The impression I get from this 1 million req/s test is that no actual logic is happening on the backend. E.g. no database queries, no business logic, etc - basically a noop call. As we saw when running the techempower benchma

Indeed. On a singular i7 machine with a gigabit connection, a number of frameworks are in the 400,000-600,000rps range when returning super trivial responses. In comparison, from the original Google blog post: To demonstrate scaling of the

Thank you. This is what is frustrating. One of the worst offenders for me was reporting a vulnerability to http://www.gogvo.com/ - the vulnerability did end up getting patched (so, that, at least, was a plus), but.. Did I g

I always love reading writeups of these vulnerabilities. On a related note, I love that bug bounty programs are becoming more popular. Still too rare, but great. That said, the majority of companies out there still make reporting vulnerabil

Yup. It renders improperly on Chrome and Firefox, but properly on IE (at least, on IE10).

Ah, and this is why I shun fast forward merges. You were using fast forward merges (and, honestly, I absolutely cannot blame you for doing so). A very, very simple graphic explaining the difference can be seen here: http://stacko

thaumasiotes, I appreciate this. I think, to an extent, I understand where you are coming from. Just as a side note, I say all of this as someone who does not agree with the MPAA nor copyright law in the US.

As I alluded to in my response to thaumasiotes, I am perfectly aware that some compression algorithms are better than others. But, this whole conversation is being made with regard to counterfeit DVDs being passed off as the real thing. In

I hesitate to respond, only because this is becoming somewhat off-topic to the article itself. That said, I was assuming the scenario of a counterfeit DVD that would play on any standard DVD player. Sure, there are more efficient compressio

To disagree, no. the quality (for a western show) is generally at least as high as you'd expect of official merchandise I got all of Futurama on many fewer discs than the official stuff uses, at no visible hit to quality If you got

I completely agree that reverting a merge in git is painful (painful, that is, in figuring out the parameters to pass to git revert). Let's say this is your scenario: d Merge branch 'test' |\ | c-test Test Br

by rallison 13y ago
Oh, reverting merges! I've been there, and it is completely possible, out of the box, with git. But! It requires a relatively thorough understanding of how it works, or you will definitely mess it up. I wrote up this summary a while ba

You bring up some valid questions - thanks. I think you are getting at a few scenarios where, in fact, perforce is better. I like git, by no means is it the best solution for all cases. if git is great, is it worth changing an enterprise t

by rallison 13y ago
I'll mention that a number of the answers covered in this StackOverflow post [1] (note, that post is old, so it is entirely possible that perforce has improved since then) cover a number of the reasons I prefer git over perforce, but,

I think this gets to one of the issues people who have previous source control experience have with git. They apply the concepts from, say, subversion to git, and then have trouble. Take branches for example. In subversion, branches were he

Even better, one can specify a mergetool in their config, and use a standard diff tool to resolve conflicts.

I imagine RG considers it unreasonable because they consider what they are doing to be fair use. As such, any amount above $0 could be considered unreasonable.

I'm sort of in the same boat as you in that I have to support IE8 for one of my projects. However, these selectors are often used to simply enhance the appearance of something, so the lack of IE8 support isn't a big deal. Basicall

Fair enough, but even the simple operations on Caman - adjusting brightness, for example - have a delay. And don't get me wrong, I think Caman is great, and is much more powerful.

Very nice. I was just looking at CamanJS [0] for a project, and your project overlaps with Caman with regard to filters. However, the great thing about your version is how instantaneous the changes are. Caman is great too, but making any ch
