It speeds up the web, because we can't our entire data set in cache -- "we" being anyone with a large data set and "can't" being defined by available hardware (costs) and time (lost working on "real" problems). Google will crawl several mil

While I find Zed's choice a good one -- GitHub (git) repos feeling more accessible, it pains me to think hg doesn't have as great a domination in this space. I feel Zed has a stronger affinity towards Python and the simplicity / extensions

This is not a math problem. It's a perception problem. In fact, even your assumption is wrong, on the number of connections a browser will open. Modern browsers will be found opening 6 to 8 connections, by default. http://stevesouders.com/

I believe you only can stand on the "dock" issue, not including it having 4 apps, as the grid constitutes that number. EVERY other point can be found together on phones pre-dating the iPhone.

Personally, I read it more as Google _applied_ -- developed useful software -- speech-recognition technology that works. I can recall testing countless softwares like Dragon Talk (mentioned in the article) for assisting my writing of school

Reddit's sysadmins neither have to maintain DC racking (nor travel), maintain hardware lifecycles, nor maintain vendor relationships. They certainly appear up to their teeth in working around AWS (EBS) deficiencies. They're not going to con

He doesn't run it himself. Reddit has two sysops and Amazon AWS staff. I won't pass judgement on Neil's performance or compensation -- we shouldn't speculate, but it'd be surprising to see a developer of only 4-5 months get a big raise.

I'm not familiar with the interals of WP Super Cache, but it is really odd that a cached page can't be served ~80 req/s. Perhaps Varnish will work in the case where WP Super Cache can't be tooled to write-through to cache or sooner.

Perhaps you need to define slow or run the benchmark(s) yourself. Sorry to be pedantic. I don't really understand what you mean by "templates that make your template engine go slow," as business requirements are going to trump anyones' skew
