What do you use to cache right now (besides the built-in Smarty caching)?

This was taken very early in the day, as witnessed by the sharp northwestern shadows and disorganization in the crowd. I'd guess it was around 7am based on when the sun came up today here.

Unless you can move to a host quickly where you'll know exactly how your app can scale, I recommend you cache the hell out of everything possible. What does the site run on, by the way? Maybe we can offer more specific advice.

Nice to see a link to the city paper; that's my favorite little rag around here. They did some great journalism on the Thomas Sweat serial arson story a couple years ago...I'll have to look for the online versions of some of the better arti

For my money, there's still nothing better than a good newspaper. We get the Washington Post here. On TV, the broadcaster controls the order and scope of reporting (you're fed the news). On the internet, vital information can easily becom

If I were any kind of ornithologist, I'd devise a sensory device (human-inaudible sound, most likely) that would frighten the birds away, possible via mimicry of a predator. Note that this is an excerpt of a comment I made on the news artic

Advanced languages like Haskell will never reach Prime Time in the sense of the term because they're too challenging. Similar to the "Python Paradox," except that Python's easy to learn. There's a strange appeal (that we all still can relat

Not "is a," but rather, "may be." This is because I never personally experienced the problems noted in the link I posted, but they are coming from what appears to be a credible source. You mistook a suggestion of problems for a personal con

No, that mistake typically is a result of somebody faulting Ruby for Rails' problems. As the parent to my comment said, Rails: Here's a kick-ass hammer, a kick-ass saw, a kick-ass measure tape, etc... My point is that those kick-ass tools

That's actually pretty ordinary (sick days run over into vacation; it's all PTO). Like most Americans here, I get six sick days and twelve days vacation annually.

If Rails were a toolbox, all of its tools would break under duress. Regarding Ruby: "And furthermore, for me, programming languages and their runtimes are tools. I think they are for a lot of us. You wouldn’t continue to use a hammer whos

I think 70s-80s was a small depression, but they can call it a recession if they want. A recession is more like the dot-com bust + 9/11. Off the top of my head: * 1807 (Embargo! Political cartoon: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm

depression != "Great Depression" I'm tired of explaining this. Yes, we're entering a depression. It's not this nation's first, nor its second or third.

Count yourself as one of the ones putting them in prison. For the public, it's not a hardship, but rather, an investment. Now, undoubtedly, destructive crime adversely affects the economy and community stability. Let's just hope that those

I don't think that prisoners should be counted simply because they are incapable of finding real employment. It's despicable that the prisons only pay between a nickel and a quarter for an hour's labor. Worse yet is the private prison syste

I can't wait to use this. Elastic Fox is solid, but definitely feels clunky.

You cite a single author as a representation of a vast political ideology and quickly drop in some fluff that guides the rest of your comment: But there is a big assumption here, and it is that libertarianism is special and different... L

"overflow: scroll" doesn't force a line-wrap. What you're thinking of is the "white-space" property.

Not his fault that "pg" hasn't implemented something along the lines of: pre { overflow: scroll; /* currently set to hidden. Why? */ width: /* something reasonable */ } A little CSS goes a long way for usability.
