i don't really see the point of these micro-benchmarking articles at all. so what if nginx can serve a theoretically higher number of static files/second more than something else. are you actually serving that much traffic with no headroom

i used this exact method to find the designer i hired about a month ago. overall, it worked out, but it was a frustrating process. i was aiming for some specifics: a female designer who was up to date on HTML5/CSS3 and ideally had some wed

i understand the case where you don't have a box with e.g. port 80 available and need to use their server as an endpoint, but otherwise is it really that hard to remember ssh -L and -R syntax as the article suggests? i also don't really see

the fine folks writing the Twisted Python library solved this problem years ago with the Deferred abstraction and the @inlineCallback decorator. there's a little bit of a performance penalty but an enormously huge increase in code readabil

i wonder why they don't just go to a date based approach. 2.2 and 2.4 were different, 2.4 and 2.6 were different, but within the minor 2.6 versions they've made some (what i would consider) pretty big changes without bumping the version nu

sorry but that seems really naive. an SLA is not a guarantee of service -- you can't force a computer or network to stay online because someone with a sheet of paper said so. it's a target for a best-effort guarantee and when that guarant

sorry, this is probably tangential, but how is the AWS outage any different from any other hardware outage, regardless of whether or not you actually own the hardware? why does it seem that everyone expects 100% uptime from a VM just becaus

just because you're trying to improve doesn't mean you have to share your bad code with the world. there's nothing wrong with writing code and trying to improve, but there's something to be said for being a good editor and not releasing eve

disagree with releasing a project every week. what makes a project worth using is continued maintenance, thorough tests, comprehensiveness, and battle-tested API; not just a few snippets of code you uploaded somewhere on a sunday.

I agree with you. I spent about two weeks looking for a designer who worked with both wedding stationery and websites. I found a few that basically did one and dabbled in the other, but didn't find anybody who thought they could do the job

Asm/C and Java/scala are unfair comparisons, since they're totally different languages with different structures and idioms. I just started using CoffeeScript for a project of mine and while it did clean up the messy look of the Javascript,

your hands need to be near the tool in a mill for a couple of reasons, including clearing chips and applying oil/coolant. also when you zero out a mill, you need to touch off a tool (don't know the name) to define your origin spot. it's no

transitioning? they've had over 20,000 employees for a few years now. you cease to be a startup after you've started up. for them that probably happened around 1998-2000.

> In fact you can make yourself a fairly decent retirement for a latte a day. not really. $3 * (40*365) = $43,800. in order to save $1M over 40 years, you need to save $2083 a month. and $1M is not a glorious retirement.

no. if you're scanning for open ssh ports you just scan IP blocks, not host names.

the only piece of solid, indisputable resume advice i've heard is to never, ever send it to anybody in MS Word .doc format. only in pdf. otherwise all sorts of recruiting agencies will add and subtract things before sending it out, which

the idea is to validate all input only once, when it's transformed from raw user-input data into structs/objects/etc used by your program. after that, assume it's valid.

i wouldn't call it exploitive, rather i would say it's very savvy. even if it's a one-time shot, it's real money and you're not doing anything shady to earn it. that's how people build wealth -- seizing opportunity. congrats on the succe
