We have a product which used to run on Unity Webplayer. After the Chrome NPAPI deprecation we lost about 50% of our users. WebGL wasn't done and still isn't really working. Our experience is the same as described in the article. M

WebSockets work for Unity WebGL. Not sure if there is an official implementation, but we use it in a multi-player game. We specifically run Photon Game Server with WebGL and WebSockets.

I think you are wrong in thinking he is protecting the `triggered` variable with the lock. He's using a Mutex to synchronize access on the entire struct. snippet from https://github.com/Workiva/go-datastructures&#x

We have a medium sized website with lots of user generated content. Think Google has indexed ~2m unique pages and they crawl ~420K every day. This costs us about 1,5GB/day in traffic. Dedicated servers with volume traffic option usuall

If it was a website with heavy traffic mysqldump would possibly take hours to complete and lock your tables for so long it affects requests. Even xtrabackup isn't suitable to run on a master node and it's common to have a dedicate

Is twitch using Amazon for streaming video content? I wasn't aware that it was cost efficient to deliver "free" video streams using AWS.

For a gaming site we run CPC is not close CA$0.5, more like CA$0.08. I'm also curious as to how this has developed for Plenty of Fish since 2006.

Have not used NGINX cache, but are a heavy user of Varnish + NGINX. Varnish is really good at caching and together with NGINX it makes a solid solution. NGINX cache seems (from skimming the docs) simple and it might be enough for your requi

Recently upgraded from MySQL 5.1 -> MariaDB 5.5 with no issues what so ever. We have ~90 tables where the largest table has 40,000,000 entries. I configured the new database servers as slaves of the old ones. This enabled me to verify th

I use shell scripts for deploying and configuring new servers. Hope to move to CM soon. Bought your book so I can get a feel for the different choices.

I recently switched from Arch Linux to Debian mainly due to the hard systemd requirement. I hope the Debian transition will be better than what Arch Linux did.

Never heard about G-wan before, but from a quick read-through it is not quiet standard. It seems like somewhat unusual design, but interesting. From the g-wan website: G-WAN is an all-in-one solution because communicating with other servers

Just want to say thanks for doing these tests. I think this is the first time we have such a thorough overview of the basic performance of web frameworks.

oh well, I think it is common to clone quiet a few repositories per user. I know its one of the most frequent things I use github for at least. Copy url, git clone url to local.

Somehow I still prefer Jon Hicks original re-brand of the phoenix logo the best. That is the 2004-2005 version displayed in the article. See [1] for an earlier evolution write-up of the brand logo. http://thinsmek.com/a-his

They added a green button which i assume is "fork on github". It seems they want to encourage people to use github rather to clone to local filesystem.

I think their goal is the right; to reduce the vertical space usage at the top of the page before the "content". They did however remove some of the useful tabs and keep the least useful. Programming language stats and project des

The code browser is in my opinion one of the most useful features of github. Commit history and blame combined with the "unnecessary noise" you describes makes it very easy for me to find out the last time I touched some line or f

I guess this is more an issue with GitHub OAuth permissions which are not fine grained enough. What you want is read-access to all repositories. I would not give anyone access to all my private repositories, however.
