Should people also have their own power plants, wells, car factories and farms? There are certain advantages when you "oursource" your basic infrastructure. As long as inter-device connections are still problematic (NAT, STUN, ...) and as l

It's also worth noting that those services have to "manually" enable support for sites. Playmo e.g. doesn't seem to support any of the BBC/iPlayer content. Unblock US does (and a few more). The only downside is that the Playmo website looks

This only seems to set a proxy which is ok, but limited to your browser. Stand-alone mediaplayers (apple tv, roku, ...) won't be able to use this easily. I always liked the DNS based services[0] seeing as you can enter them in your DSL rout

I wonder how the upcoming generations of Bitcoin mining hardware will change this calculation. They are all SHA1 FPGAs/ASICs that implement SHA1. It would also be interesting to see how GPUs perform.

The only interesting thing would be to see how much of a performance improvement each of the separate changes brought. Phrases like "Most of the time was spent by the server to compile the necessary dataset of time entries, but also related

It's a nice hack, but I'd rather just use Elasticsearch and try out the MongoDB river ( https://github.com/richardwilly98/elasticsearch-river-mongod... ). There is a reason why Lucene exists. You'll gain insertion speed, use less RAM for yo

Another nice options is Cloudflare. Especially for small personal blogs, they are free and even offer to put a CDN in front of your data.

I always found it weird that they use len([1,2,3]) rather than [1,2,3].len (no, I don't want to call [0,1,3].__len__() . Why would I want to add all of those underscores.)

Scalability doesn't have anything to do with the programming language but rather with the architecture. The same goes for performance unless you're talking about pure number-crunching. The ease of development depends on your experience with

What does Perl have in that regard that Ruby hasn't? Ruby also has open classes and you can chain and modify any of the base classes, be it "String" or "Object". I don't know anything like "MooseX", but that might be because Ruby actually

In this case Redis would be the odd man out. Unless you want to do manual sharding and replication, MySQL also is targeted at a different use-case. I also don't think anybody would run a 40 node mysql master-master cluster

by rb2k_ 14y ago
I haven't seen those usecases yet. Either you want to scale over multiple systems or you don't. Either you have more data than RAM or you don't.

by rb2k_ 14y ago
None of them do auto-sharding and master-master replication. This is the domain dynamo/bigtable-like systems (elasticsearch, riak, cassandra, hbase, voldemort)

As far as I recall there are basically just 3 large providers and tons of resellers. There are e.g. Eweka ( http://eweka.nl/en/usenet_toegang/specificaties/ ) Or The Cubenet ( http://thecubenet.com ) which don't fall short compared to the e
