Installed it on CentOS 5.5 and it broke the websites served on it, so it's buggy.

They'll probably give you a good reference. They want to be the good guys on paper. However, if you are asked to give a reference for them, I understand that it's illegal to give negative criticism for an ex-employee review. I usually sa

I've written a bunch of PHP, Perl, SQL stuff, but always down-shift into C or C++ (mostly C though) when performance or command-line tools need to be efficient. I wrote a multi-threadded crawler in C because using perl or shell scripts wra

Good for you! I read all of the other guys asking, "but why didn't you do this? ..." I myself am a throwback from the C/C++ days and I frequently re-write stuff in C. That's how it's supposed to be done. Write as much as you can as fast

Job postings have salary ranges. If I have 80 years of experience and ask for $500k/yr salary, I'm not going to get it.

Also, it has a tracking pixel in the html template, so I know if the email was ever opened - which comes in handy to tell if people are actually getting my resume submission.

Just for example, I made a webpage that I can submit an email address, a job title and a job type to. The webpage submits the data to a database. Every 5 minutes, a cron job wakes up and emails an appropriate resume and cover letter to th

I work at a startup that's 5 years old and the main app is written in java, but smaller utility pages and apps are written in different languages. I think that the language should fit the problem.

Let's say that servers cost $1500 each and a rack of 20 servers costs $1500/mo for hosting costs. Programmers make $80k/yr. Let's also say that C is twice as slow to develop for and let's say that Java requires twice as much hardware to r

See, another fine example of my point. Thanks for that.

I'm the author of the original post. cross-platform benchmarks like this typically don't represent real-world apps. They're usually tiny benchmarks that test one or two things, but don't really hit the nail on the head when it comes to re

I'm the author of the original post. It's not difficult. Get a good debugger, and you're job is easy. Use a memory allocation tracker while you debug, then switch back when you're done. It's not hard, just takes a little more time. Don

I'm the author of the original post. I agree that I/O is going to be slow in any language, so I agree with you there. However, your point about a single server being equal to the salary of 4 FTEs, in my experience, we're not talking about

I'm the author of the original post. The article isn't about optimizing every line of code, it's about not being lazy and choosing a language that you might have to do a little more work in for a massive decrease in bloat and execution tim

I'm the author of the original post. Sysadmins don't solve buffer overflows, that's a programmer's job. True, my rant could be takes as a "lazy sysadmin", but I have a CS degree and have a programming background. Personally, I'd prefer to

I'm the author of the original article. What about bloat? It's hard to compare java to C applications because people don't tend to write the exact same app in more than one language, but compare Azurus to utorrent. Sure, Azurus has many

I'm the author of the original article. A typical server costs $1500 (DELL, HP) nowadays, but I've seen java apps commonly take up a whole rack of servers, not just one. This is a base cost of $30k and > $1500/mo for rackspace, A/C, p
