I've been happy with dnsimple.com, not the cheapest but has a clean UI, intelligent features, and intelligent support the YC crowd here would appreciate.

Unlikely to deter the tax. 7000 added jobs not much compared to the hundreds of millions California projects to earn from the ecommerce tax.

So true. Apache + mod_php is very reasonable choice. Anyone who advocates using FastCGI instead of mod_php to "save memory" just doesn't understand what the actual memory footprint of Apache + mod_php really is, and how adjust the number of

Yes, I get it: some hackers of lore kept adding magic commands to the unix line editor until it grew into a stand-alone editor. Still doesn't appeal to me. Too many arcane keystrokes to do simple edits.

No, clean HTML semantics still matters a lot! Forget about programmatic efficiencies like crawlers and page load times. Think about the poor web dev who is handed this steaming heap of bad markup like so: Management: "We need you to change

For example a for loop is typical serial semantics: for (i=0;i<10;i++) { a[i] = i*10; } ... but it's obvious that this loop can execute all passes in parallel so we want to pass a concurrency suggestion to the compile

Yes, C's memory model is fraught with concurrency race conditions, but it's fast, direct, and dangerous and that's part of it's appeal. It'd be a shame to see C be tamed and muddled to look more like its caged derivatives.

The article suggests that the programmer should not have to explicitly manage threads but instead expand the semantics of the language the language so that the programmer can express which tasks and data can be handled in parallel, then let

For C I'd rather see parallel capabilities added to the stdlib rather than messing with C's syntax. Syntax creep has rendered C++ practically incomprehensible for mere mortals and it'd be a shame to see C get pushed down the same path to ma

Having used EC2 for web hosting I can affirm that you are exactly right. Web hosting on EC2 is a challenge and quite expensive. From my experience EC2 is much better suited for large data storage, distributed computing, and any other use ca

It is ambiguous when the coder intended to return directly without returning any value like so: while (word = getNextWord()) { doSomething(word) if (i > limit) return i++ } Sure, this can be written bette

Force of habit and clarity. Sometimes it's necessary, like "return i++" is ambiguous.
