Maybe it's a cultural thing, but those lines don't sound cute, they sound like lies. At a minimum, they're embellishments. I don't understand this need to force people to know how valuable you are. There are two ways to make people value yo

Another issue with altitude is Ebullism. It's not so much a problem for mountaineers, but more for balloonists, pilots, etc. As the boiling point of bodily fluids reaches our normal body temperature, our bodily fluids form bubbles and turn

Asking for the address for digital downloads is about your only defence against PayPal's chargeback frenzy. Anyone who has sold digital downloads knows how PayPal randomly returns money to customers (and let's them keep the product) because

Many thanks for the explanation. You sound like a teacher; I feel like I've really learned something this morning. Quick question: is there an issue with resistance when it comes to vaccinations? I understand the problem with creating bette

Isn't this a product of long commutes and sedentary living? There are only three times when I feel compelled to use my smartphone: * When in a train/bus/car * When I need directions * When I feel like a game of chess Further to t

Opportunity abounds at every point in time. Most of all, at times like this when markets are flailing after a severe and (somewhat) protracted period of chaos. Even if we were at the peak of markets (arguably the worst time to invest), ther

There's more to life than writing code 9-to-5 for someone else. Some people want the freedom to code when they want on projects they choose. They may also want the freedom to do other things like travel the world and spend time with people

Define inexpensive. A lady has just put up a group trip to row across the Caribbean Sea. 14 people will row a double-hull boat over more than a month. They'll definitely need to desalinate sea water. http://globetrooper.com/caribbean-sea-r

It's a totally different architecture. It's adding another layer. Why isn't it conceivable that adding this overhead would reduce speed? Remember, I'm not comparing a Varnish cache to an un-cached site. I'm comparing cache vs cache. Nginx s

by todsul 15y ago
How can that be? If Nginx serves static files much faster, and full page caching is just a static file, how can Varnish be faster?

We pretty much do the same thing: live country-to-country, for 3-6 months at a time, buy a new MacBook each year, run a startup, etc. Budgets differ between country. Not just in the value of line items, but the line items themselves. For ex

They're not VCs, but private equity people. Big difference. Private equity doesn't want to get their "names out there". Quite the opposite. Public-to-private deals rely on secrecy in the early stages. I think the first article sounded very

Yes, we previously used template caching because it was built into Symfony1 (an MVC PHP framework). Symfony2 now leaves caching to the HTTP Standard, plus integrates Akamai's ESI. Symfony specifically recommends Varnish for live projects. M

Interesting experiment. I don't agree with comments on BI that this was forced, manipulative and therefore inaccurate. I just spent 6 months living in India and man, I've never met an Indian who wasn't ready to talk and share their opinions

The big issue here is the application type. This only works well for a very particular type of application. That is, a highly dynamic site that is NOT dependent on user logins. 1) If the site is only moderately dynamic, you can just use pla

You're looking for a solution, not a problem. I know that sounds like a cliche, but it's exactly what you're doing. And chances are, your solution won't have a problem. Or mostly likely, the problem will be so small and inconsequential that

This won't work for anything but the most basic puzzles. Brute force just constitutes basic gameplay. To solve a moderately advanced Sudoku puzzle you need to compare potential candidates in groups. Then it gets even more advanced with a ha
