I use the daily build of chromium on my ubuntu linux.

I'm pretty sure that it's the main line of development and I regularly receive new features, new bugs and new bug fixes as days passes. After some time all this goes to the chrome beta and finally in the chrome release.

I don't think that google adds tons of code 'behind' the back of the opensource repository which is then merged only a few weeks later, because I see a gradual change (aka. the phenotype of those changes) in the daily builds from the chromium repository.
WTF Code
Re-read the OP - the problem is with threads. Switch apache to a prefork mpm - is a good solution, but replace apache with simple and more efficient setup is a much better solution.

nginx + fpm isn't a silver bullet, but it is much more efficient an flexible solution. And avoiding using threads with such a terrible mess as PHP is also good solution, which will save you a lot of time and effort.

Just think about how many things will be dynamically loaded, and how much of this code is really thread-safe and properly tested.

btw, I bet there is a mere sigsegv.
I think TechCrunch is right - the live streaming is going to be used to demonstrate the new, shiny streaming distribution network that Apple has been building - have a look at the announcement from Apple:

"Apple® will broadcast its September 1 event online using Apple’s industry-leading HTTP Live Streaming, which is based on open standards. Viewing requires either a Mac® running Safari® on Mac OS® X version 10.6 Snow Leopard®, an iPhone® or iPod touch® running iOS 3.0 or higher, or an iPad™. The live broadcast will begin at 10:00 a.m. PDT on September 1, 2010 at www.apple.com."

If we are to judge by those system requirements, this is not just h264 streaming on html5 (no chrome, and not even Safari on Windows)- it's going to be hooking into some proprietary Apple voodoo magic to make it work, exactly as a reasonable observer would expect if and when Apple starts streaming content to iDevices.

Ask HN: How to work your way down the career ladder?
I've been working in IT for about 20 years now, initially as a programmer and more recently as a Project Manager and Development Manager.

While I'm a competent manager, increasingly I find myself longing for the days when I was coding as things seemed more straight forward and more interesting back then.

So my questions are:

1) How would people recommend I start working my way back down the career ladder? I'm still OK with databases but my last hands on coding experience was c. 2000 and even back then I was a generalist rather than a specialist so just picking up what I was doing then technology wise wouldn't give me too much of a head start.

2) What am I forgetting about? I know that the grass isn't greener on the other side but right now the issues of management are far clearer to me than the issues of being a developer. What are the crappy bits I've forgotten but will hate?

3) How would people suggest I pitch the career move to companies and recruiters? Done wrongly it has the whiff of failure but the reality is that it's about what I think will make me happy.
I can't understand the overwhelmingly negative response to the OP here and on TC. From a purely logical point of view sure, he should have opted for auto-renew or at the least noticed the expiration mail. However, that's precisely the argument in the article, Google is logical and lacks a human point of view.

Consider:

1) Google only sent one renewal notification email for what is obviously a critical service.

2) Some people distrust auto-renewing subscriptions (like me). I've used services that didn't realize my credit card was going to expire and gave me no warning before they cut me off. I'd rather receive a clear and concise notice email.

Human things Google could have done:

1) Sent a 1 month, 1 week and 24 hour notice.

2) Put a renewal notification in the Gmail UI. There is a system for this already to occasionally confirm your alternate email address etc.

3) Give a 7 day grace period after your subscription expires.

4) Respond with a transient full inbox failure, instead of a permanent failure which cause all sorts of havoc.

5) Put an explanation next to auto-renew option saying they will send you a email notices if your credit card might expire.

The OP in this case is somewhat technical and should have known better, but if this had happened to my mom, my grandparents or my girlfriend then I would say the blame falls squarely with Google for lack of UX due diligence.
An apology to Alexis Ohanian (Reddit Co-founder) about Digg
I tried to find something from Venice to Portland, Oregon. It doesn't seem to do PDX, so I tried with SFO instead. It gives me VCE to Gatwick, England, then to Basel, Switzerland, then Dusseldorf, Germany, and then on to San Francisco. Yeah it's cheap, but that sounds like an awful, awful day of traveling.
What do you think about granularity of filtering: do not take all your customers' servers down, just filter the offending pages/services at network level until they sort it out.
Post is lacking information on whether the site was actually a phishing site and who (or which entity) submitted a complaint.

I think verification of the legitimacy of a complaint should be a critical step before disabling a site, otherwise you're prone to DoS.

It would also be good to know what steps the complainant took. Did s/he try to contact Pandaform, or immediately go to Rackspace as the owner of the IP?

Without knowing whether the complaint was legitimate, and what steps Rackspace took to verify this (or not) its tough to say whether their actions were appropriate.
Sweden reopens Wikileaks founder rape investigation
What's wrong here is that he's refusing to work with a willing upstream. It would be much better for everyone if he submitted patches to Google to allow everyone using Chrome to optionally turn off these tracking features.

Instead he's needlessly forking the project to "bring a lot of publicity to my person and my homepage". That's not being a good open source citizen.
Just curious, how don't they match your workflow, and what about Git's power features gets in your way? You can just not use things like interactive rebase if you don't want.
Or even something simpler - call the account holder's phone and play a simple recorded message that says "hey, its Rackspace, we need you to deal with an urgent issue, please check your email ASAP". Cheap for Rackspace, gives the customer fair warning, and if there's no response within some reasonable time frame then shutdown the machines in question.

The Impossibility of CAP and Cloud
It's only really smart if you consider the two approaches exclusive to each other. Personally, I don't see a reason why you can't pander to both managers and developers. Yes, you've got some added expenses, but certainly less than most business-centric marketing campaigns or new yachts for Larry.

Having said that, I don't think Oracle was totally neglecting that area. They had a few decent free tools available (SQLDeveloper, JDeveloper, trial DB versions) and while their articles didn't come close to the sheer amount IBM offered, there was enough information out there.

They could've marketed that better, though. But in that regard, they're certainly not much worse than a lot of other enterprise companies. You can't measure everything by the way Microsoft and Apple are doing it.
Very close. From what he later posts about supervisord monitoring - he is basically hitting a server bottleneck of number of threads, which causes him to run out of memory and get into swap space. Then everything goes to hell and he (supervisord) has to restart.

Proof: You will have 0 memory free and start using swap when the restart happens - type 'top' and watch this go down.

Fix: Use less threads. The number of concurrent users you can support is the # of pages you can serve up per second in each thread times the number of threads your server can handle. So a huge improvement can be caching. Cache pages, blocks, hell maybe your whole site. The cache hits will serve 10-100 times more responses per second than generating your entire page.

I consulted on a project that was having horrible server performance on a huge server with relatively static data. The way they produced pages was really poor and took 3 or 4 seconds. There is no way you can serve up a large number of concurrent requests with the turnaround time over a second. I added caching as a quick fix and they ended up just being happy that 99.9% of their pages served up in 1/100th of a second.
Sure, we understand it might not be to your taste; a route like that won't be appealing to many people.

But the main point is that some people want to be able to use low-cost airlines to take long-haul trips like this, and in fact are doing so already but doing the planning manually (very slowly and sub-optimally) as there is nothing to automate the process.

When we cover more airlines we'll be able to return more palatable options to the average traveller, but we think just offering travellers the ability to take trips like these if they choose to is a step in the right direction.
That's the problem with boilerplate. You don't see that it's boilerplate until you see a languages where it's unnecessary.
I love this. I've been trained as an accountant, so the bookkeeping, legal, sales side feels like a breeze. Its the 'I have to build something awesome' that cripples me!

Only reinforces the point of the article. Like he said at the end: "In fact, the projects where there is doubt are the ones to pursue." Those projects are different for everyone, you just have to jump in.

Totally disagree. As soon as you're strongly think of selling, it means it was time to sell yesterday. If you can get anything fair, do it. Once your heart's not in it, it's good to move on and mentally cut ties. You won't be able to keep innovating if you're not mentally with it, and nowdays businesses can fall apart rapidly even if their founder is totally onboard, let alone if he's not.

People who have never built a successful business won't understand. As soon as you strongly feel it's time to sell, do it. Get out and build your next thing. Later you might regret it, that's natural, but better than having things decay on their own if you're not fully with it. My advice - yes, sell.
Email Finally Emerges as a Platform
I really love the idea of being able to say "I want to go sometime in October, give me a list of options", so I think you're on the right track, and I'll be checking back from time to time. Good luck!
We had a similar problem with another vps provider. Some php script was remotely exploited and sending spam. They disabled the VPS. Our website and email was down for 24 hours. They enabled the VPS the next day for us to look at it. What's worse I was asked to reinstall the VPS and it took me some convincing for them to enable it so I get my data from the server.

Lesson learned? I think you should never have any operations where you don't have full control. This still holds true but it was a bit ironic because to have full control I ran everything on the VPS, effectively transferring full control to the VPS provider! It was the single point of failure.

Now I will transfer each different service to a different provider. Email to rackspace, websites to a host, git services to github and so on.
Lately I began to observe downvotes patterns here on HN and saw that some people downvote instead of commenting or ignoring when they disagree with a comment or an idea, comments in topics about Microsoft, Google or Apple are a favorite target.
I forgot to add, in this case, check the DB. It could be some sort of deadlock...
I second this. I had a similar problem before, and yes I mis-configured my apache. In my case it was random crashes instead of hourly.

I would suggest you to post your problem to your hosting community forum with related info (logs, conf files, server setup info, etc). In my case, it's the Linode forum. I'm sure the community is more than happy to assist you.

Good luck!

Vulnerabilità non patchate: le dieci peggiori società
exactly, same in this case. I expect Rackspace should ask pandaform to investigate the case and shutdown the phishing site. I won't expect the whole pandaform would be taken down.

Also pandaform doesn't allow use to put any script or password field in the form, which the quality of the "phishing" form is not as serious as what we thought as a normal phishing site do.
1) Can you go part-time? Then you could get some open source or consulting experience. Would your company be willing to demote you, or let you work on some of the code in the projects you are developing?

2) Coding is boring drudgery and you have less of a view of where you are going than the managers (we hope :-) You'll be stuck with bad colleagues bringing you down instead of being able to get rid of the dead weight. You'll be out of practice and not experienced in a lot of new things, but it sounds like you already put ten years in coding so you will be able to catch up.

3) What you said here made sense. You could also sell yourself as a "fixer", who has both the programming skill and the management nouse to get stuck projects going again. Another alternative is to go into consulting, but I'm guessing neither of these options appeal if you just want to go back to coding. You could try cutting your hours and work on open source the rest of the time in order to improve your CV. Hell, your company might let you work one day a week on open source a la Google if you pitch it right (like, I'm good and I'm quitting if you don't give me this.)

I don't particularly like CSS, but I do use it. I believe in separation of content and presentation, though, so I want the page to be readable without CSS. While the page is somewhat ugly, I think the minimalism suits the service.

That said, if someone sends me a redesigned page, I'll certainly look at it. :-)
You could just not do it.

I've been in business for the better part of 10 years without incorporating or doing bookkeeping beyond a quick 20 minute Excel session at tax time.

My theory is that as long as everybody else keeps good books, I don't have to. The bank has just as much interest in remembering what happened to my money as I do, and frankly they're better at it than me. When I need to know, I look it up.

I didn't downvote the comment in question, and I hate these meta-discussions, but anyway:

A "thankful positive comment" that adds no new information to the discussion is just noise. People downvote comments like this in order to discourage them, and keep the signal/noise ration high.

"This has been a Chrome for quite a while now", by contrast, at least adds something new-- that this is not a new feature. It's not a great comment, but at least there's some "signal" there.

He claims that in Germany he can make a lot of money at this. If he can then it means he's taking an open source project and doing something with it to make money. It doesn't even sound like he's closing the source of his fork (assuming he would even have this option). It's not the most efficient thing but if he really can make money with this I don't see much fault in it. It's risky because someone else could just push these changes back to Chrome killing his revenue stream.

I don't know if that is literally true (I did spend quite a few years being paid to write Lisp, followed by quite a few years writing Java) but I think once you have been using Lisp for a while with a good environment the parentheses certainly feature a lot less in how you visualize the code.

I am also a Scot - if that helps ;-)
Kevin Rose quits CEO role at Digg
Java only uses braces to denote blocks, whilst Lisp uses parenthesis for everything. Contrast:

(if (= x 0)
(foo x)
(bar x))

And:

if (x == 0) {
foo(x);
}
else {
bar(x);
}

The Lisp code has 8 parenthesis, whilst the Java code only has 4 braces. However, the Java code also has 6 parenthesis and 2 semicolons, so in total the Lisp code only has 8 control flow tokens, whilst the equivalent Java has 12 (or 13, if you count the 'else').

>it's gotten us to a point where we've developed several full startups worth of partial features

This is a negative character trait, IMO, one I share. I find it very difficult to finish things, I have enthusiasm to start and ideas a plenty but once the idea is fleshed out and the result can be seen I find I have no motivation to physically complete. Recognising this I know I need to work in a team with people who are good finishers to counter this negative aspect of how I work.

Perhaps, your co-founder is like me, perhaps they haven't realised or don't think it matters or are simply hoping someone else will finish everything off for him.

How to set up your own private Git server on Linux
If you're saying tests are an alternative to using a debugger, then I disagree.

Tests are very useful, but they fulfill a different need to debuggers. In fact the two work well together: stepping through a failing test case with a debugger can be a very effective way to find the root cause of a problem.
(Looks very good. I can see this becoming as big/successful as DropBox.)

Question: Does it do anything more than search? E.g., can you sort your indexed data into folders? Tags? Or are these concepts now redundant?
It's funny, I've had a LOT of ideas for video games lately, mostly just small game mechanics ideas. I really, really want to write a game that incorporates them, but I'm finding that I just don't have time. I've been considering starting a game ideas blog and putting them all out there for anyone to use.

Don't get me wrong, some are good and some are bad... But I think some are REALLY good and the bad ones could probably be improved. Sometimes just sorting good from bad depends on perspective, too.

I haven't quite given up on the game yet, though, and I'd like to be the first to implement some.

Apparently this guy is past that stage and has decided to just give the ideas away.
