It would make sense if it is, I imagine most services have an excess of incoming bandwidth for the same reason we do, we just have even more of it as a % because we serve bigger files. But yeah I have no idea what pricing for incoming bandw

Ask HN: What would you do with massive, cheap incoming bandwidth?

OTOH, they may not actually care what your name is; it's probably less uniquely identifying than your FB ID.

That was a joke. Our site and many others have explicit ways to get a non-ajax URL for sharing, but it is of course more convenient and more natural in a browser to just grab from the URL bar. It's unfortunate for us but not remotely unexpe

I love this one, Improve Code by Removing It: http://programmer.97things.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/Improv... Looking at my git stats, I've deleted about 20% more code than I've ever written (in fact I've deleted more lines than all but o

Yeah, the links in the wild are the problem. Users have a habit of copying URLs from the URL bar, unfortunately. I think Google could have done this better; they could have made it so all ajax URLs are crawlable (standard robots rules apply

I prefer BZ over most other bug tracking solutions I've seen. It's ugly but that's fixable.

Tired of all the pedantry surrounding REST, but hate SOAP? JSON-RPC FTW.

I mentioned this to Spolsky already but depending how you want to count servers (web servers or all front facing servers or all servers in your infrastructure?), we have 10-20 servers servicing 350 million page views per month. That is of c

Cookies suck for that sort of thing because they are sent over the wire with every request.

Interestingly, we will be doing that soon as well. Care to share your experiences?

Ha, I assumed this was going to be an article complaining about Alternative PHP Cache, not the UPS company, and I was going to make a joke about how perhaps with caching the servers would have been able to handle the load.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_1-litre_car#Producti... Volkswagen approved a limited production by 2010. However, production has been delayed until 2013. The initial price is still unknown.

Annoying, but not the end of the world. Doesn't make the article useless.

Can anyone help explain how likely this is to be the result of water? Is it possible these lines were produced by wind?

That story reminds me of my own heater core troubles. I had an old car that sprang a leak in the heater core, dumping antifreeze all over the inside of the car. The cost of having someone replace the heater core and "do it right" was more t

I wish they would make it possible to do the whole bit with "pretty" urls. Example: Users go to: /#/abc Google goes to /abc and they both see the same content. Obviously you'd need some way to tell Google that your site follows this scheme

Upvoted for the upfront salary listing. I've ignored many a job posting due to this. Let me know if it's going to be worth my time up front.

Same here. I've found the only way I can stick to a morning schedule for any length of time is if I push my schedule later and later until late is early; my body tries to push my schedule backwards for a couple of weeks before it starts sli

So, because a prediction about something once was wrong, all subsequent predictions about that thing must also be wrong?

Aside from the experience in his ward, mostly the other evidence seems to be the correlation between winter and the spread of influenza. There may be other causes for that correlation besides vitamin D (or they might all be contributing fac

We use Freenode, #grooveshark is an open channel for random techie users who want to talk directly to developers (or each other), and people working on 3rd party extensions/add ons to Grooveshark. We have other internal invite-only channels

er, typo fail. They were correcting "gearman" to "german."

by wanderr 16y ago
Kudos, I was about to submit a longstanding complaint but it looks like it has been fixed. For a long time Google was autocorrecting my searches for gearman as "gearman" -- not just in a "Did you mean?" but actually giving me search results

It's not just horrifying URL schemes, it would make the feature useless for any "web app" - take Grooveshark for example. A user can go from /artist/x/1234 to /song/x/1234 which seems pretty reasonable and not very horrifying.
