> to create a payment object?

resource.

Also, not sure what's up with TFA's strawmanning,

PATCH /orders/42 # with { order: { paid: true } }
PATCH /orders/42 # with { order: { shipped: true } }

looks like RPC update calls (hey let's map our Ruby attribute updates to HTTP calls, yay!) more than RESTful calls.

Also, not sure why a payment resource would be conceptually "within" an order (although that's got little to do with RESTfullness): why not POST to /payments?order=42? Which would return a link to e.g. /payments/2345 for your actual payment resource?

Something similar to http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2011-07-03-nobody-underst... transaction resources.
Does the first point match your experience? I feel like VC emphasises getting a great product ready first over everything else.
In the early days of anything almost everything is original simply because there was nothing to do compare it to. Karateka and Prince of Persia were innovative.
A co-founder is not the same as an employee. 1) don't make assumptions about a different subject from the one I'm commenting on; 2) if you actually want to have a discussion, ask a better question.
"You are wasting an outlandish amount of money writing code that already exists."

On the contrary, there has been a number of times that I've completely rewritten some code to use a framework or library that was already battle-tested and more fully-featured than the previous effort. I ended up saving myself from writing code that already exists.
Didn't mean to minimize the contributions made in the article - fully agree that proper settings matter a lot. The attention to detail in turning off unnecessary cruft was great. Loved the sudo ufw logging off.
I don't see why you couldn't have a database of facts under CC-BY-SA. You can't copyright individual facts, but you absolutely can copyright a collection of facts as a collection. [1]

I would think the more-pressing problem would be the 'viral' nature of the 'share alike' restriction when it came to API use.

Attribution would also seem to be thorny and difficult to police, but not intractable.

[1] e.g. I can make a phone directory and copyright it. You could take all the data out of my phone directory to make your own directory and that would be fine. But you could not simply make copies of my directory and sell those as your own.
I'm with you to an extent, but why do you think Wikidata in particular will be the missing component and not some other service like Freebase or DBPedia?

Yup. The author is wrong in his assumption. You can always model the "process" parts using a resource(payment resource as against pay, transaction as against credit/debit etc).

MobiTrade: Trading Content in Disruption Tolerant Networks
Thanks - I mostly wrote it because I'd spent so long playing around with settings I realised I had no idea which ones made any difference anymore, so started again.
I never said anything about intelligence level or other parties deciding what people should do.

Are you able to consider the idea that someone's responsibility to themselves and their families might lead them to make decisions other than maximizing financial gain?

Also - I'm curious as to why you think family members are a special case?
Not the same statement at all. You can do nothing, and then only statement "you are not doing the right things" would be true.

You can also do both the right things and the wrong things, and then only the statemtnt "you are doing the wrong things" would be true.
It's not just GPS. Any time source that has added the "leap seconds" will be misinterpreted by Android, because Android doesn't compensate for leap seconds. So if your cellular network or other time server has leap seconds, your Android phone will be wrong even it never sets the clock via GPS.
They are there, they have been there for over ten years, much code exists that needs them to be there. You can't take them out of the language.

More syntax sugar for them would be good, adding first class functions IMHO isn't good.

This is an example where a short answer is better than a long answer. There is so much detail provided by the CEO in his explanation, that it is very difficult to understand the outline of the protocol and structure of the system. Security does not derive from complexity, but rather a careful analysis of the potential attacks and their difficulty.

So, rather than allay fears about his service, I'm left feeling more skeptical about their claims.

I would love hear from people more versed in cryptographic key exchange protocols as to the basis for their claims.

And, seriously, a Michael Scott protocol?
There's no link for "protecting attribute mass-assignment in the controller vs. in the model".
Use the timeline of the debate, it's just until the motion
Nearly correct. POST does not specify the name of the resource. So you do

/orders/42 # with { order: { paid: true } }

And it returns the /orders/42/payment transaction resource.
You're absolutely right (except about me being good, I don't know about that), and if someone asked me about hosting Wordpress for a serious business, I'd probably just tell them to use WPEngine or similar.

But as a learning experience for me, I think this has been pretty priceless, and I enjoy it, bizarre as that probably sounds to the people who don't read HN :)
Freud somewhere talks about a primitive tribe where the punishment for saying "The king is not an ass" is the same as for saying "The king is an ass".

Edit: I remember reading this years ago and have been unable to track it down. Would love it if somebody did.
Just tried:

This rush generated 7,363 successful hits in 1.0 min and we transferred 56.39 MB of data in and out of your app. The average hit rate of 117/second translates to about 10,159,286 hits/day.

So you're right in that Varnish is the big improvement, but the CPU of the server seemed to be significantly higher with varnish alone than with varnish + APC.

Of course, one issue with these systems is there's no such thing as vanilla, the documentation goes from "Install" to "Read 100 pages of stuff to get a working configuration", with nothing in between...
I haven't really followed the mobile market closely, but from what I understand, RIM's strongest advantage was data security. (Is this correct?) It would be interesting to see what hardened mobile implementation fills this gap.
I don't think typeclasses were in from day one, they were added quite late in the development of the language (but some years before H98). I don't think they're in Miranda, for example.

Here's a paper introducing them.

So you're suggesting that if I, friend of no one, used the Xcode icon on my website and SOPA had passed Apple would go in front of a judge to have my website removed from DNS? It seems much more likely that they would either a) ignore it or b) send me a DMCA takedown. Which sounds pretty much like the two likely outcomes of this incident as well.

I live in the New York City area. The benefits you state are true however if you are in fact contemplating a start up your access to engineers in the Silicon Valley area are going to be far greater than in the New York City area. That may be changing but sometimes groupthink can be positive thing. It can help nurture and further develop an industry. You mentioned the finance industry being in New York however realize that the finance industry developed in New York because of groupthink.

It's mind-blowing that they plan on having GPU and FPGA support before they offer arrays of structs and multidimensional arrays. Frustrating, too. I guess I can't complain, since clearly somebody is paying for all this, and it isn't me.
"Free software needs Wikidata, to [] avoid being made largely irrelevant by Alpha"

Wolfram Alpha is already completely worthless because it doesn't cite the sources for any of its results. It's basically just a fancy search engine built on top of a garbage dump.
I wasn't aware that I was making that contentious a statement.

Was just meaning that the titles on a news site are effectively headlines and that the style of how they are written can massively effect how much attention they are given.
This is good news. An Artificial Intelligence arms race between the US and China would means the Singularity is on it's way.
Great post, the 10 million hits is a bit misleading, WordPress is a cookie monster, so your default configuration of Varnish is going to have issues, when people start adding comments etc.

WordPress itself isn't the scalability problem anymore, it's usually how the blog is being used, and when the db needs to be interacted with.

At the same time, a lot of our customers use WordPress as a CMS, and have static home pages and sub pages, which we serve in a similar fashion.

https://github.com/zippykid/php-varnish the plugin there, will be handy when you actually start making blog posts.

Thanks. The fact that it needed explaining says it all, though. Nonetheless, the debate format is interesting.

Not when you consider Java as a 'business' for Oracle.

And business planning is always done like this.

If Java no longer remains useful to Oracle expect the same thing what happened to things like flash.

It will be donated to Apache software foundation.
most of the caching plugins for WordPress will generate static html files, or static html stored in memcached, which can further be written to disk using nginx' fastcgi_cache, or something like varnish.
Why Advertising Doesn't Work on the Web (1997)
I really hope they survive, in some way.

There is really a market for enterprise grade devices with great keyboards, worldwide roaming (flat-rate, <60$ for everywhere mobile internet with most carriers), hardened security and real time push services.

They just have to get their sh*t right. For example: I got my first Blackberry 3 years ago and they had all the promises for threaded emails and two-way syncing (marking mails as read when I read them on other devices). And… no news over there after so much time.

It's just a shame that years and years after they can't even figure the simplest things, like a better user experience and better user experience (most users don't ever get to know about how to get most of their phone, with keyboard shortcuts and real multitasking because of how hard is everything to figure out).

Of course they will have to lay off people, open their platform a lot more and work hard, but I don't think they even have a clue of where they should hit.

The sad thing is that even their users know… It's probably their stupid corporative system that will sink them.
What's wonderful about the two butanols they are making is that they are near drop-in replacements for gasoline. If this scales up, this would make an excellent alternative to expensive fuel deliveries for isolated places.

Yet another encouraging bridge between the grid and the internal combustion engine.

I'm also pretty sure the background on their page is Louie Mantia's work as well. It's an older version that he's since replaced, but you can see it on this site: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/details/1236/blueprint.ht...

FWIW, the current version (Blueprint Neue) is here: http://mantia.me/wallpaper/blueprint/
That doesn't seem to be the only conditional check. If you look at aestetix's response, they confronted him for using a "not common" name. They seem to dig for names that are not plausible instead of an actual systematic process. What I'm questioning, is how they define not plausible by whatever name checking program they are using.
I still don't get how RIM is somehow a worthy purchase for anyone. They can't make hardware good enough to sell to anyone other than the hold outs that hate the iOS/Android handsets for the sake of hating it.

Beyond that the BES is just going to evaporate when users realize that there are equivalents or at least a lot more reasons to leave than to stay. What would putting anything on top of the BES really do?

It is very possible that Microsoft would cut a deal and run their OS on Blackberries. Because they love to do that. But it doesn't really do anything for RIM in the long term at all, maybe not even the short term.
You couldn't be more right, and I think the key here is:
How each fact connects with other facts

If there were no operations, math would just be numbers on their own -- and what fun is that?

The problem is that the relations turn it into the Semantic Web, and after trying and failing to crack that nut for so long, everyone is turned off of it. Which is too bad, because what was failing was the approach. Trying several shipping routes to the New World and failing each time doesn't mean that the New World doesn't exist.
You can look at that from another angle: Nobody cared enough to make decent tools for GNUStep, while many care about other languages (c, c++, java, python, ruby etc). Linux programmers are keen to copy UI effects from Apple, but so far they seem to keep away from its programming language

"a database", not "the database". it was an actual query result, which for whatever reason I couldn't get to format in any way readable
But that is the point, Apple have not lost the information - they still have their icon and can keep using it. There's a distinction between that and someone breaking into Apple's computer system and erasing all of their other copies of the icon, which would be the closest analogy to classical theft in this case.
As someone who worked as lead dev for a blog network that does 10M+ visitors a month, here's the thing: if you've gotten your blog to 10M hits a day, you likely have a massive amount of content (we had about 1M posts over 5 or 6 years and about as many comments); that is, far too much to get into cache on a $15 server. Every page gets cached, every gallery page gets cached (if you've got photo galleries), every comment page gets cached and all of those have objects/actual DB rows that get cached as well. With that much content, the GoogleBot alone will kill you if you're not careful.

These are all great tips to help you scale, but unless you've got a very small site WP site that is also doing 10M hits a day, there are many more complications. Once I have a little more spare time, I'll have to blog about some other solutions we've come up with.
I don't think so, Although I agree with you that COBOL is still alive and kicking. That is totally different that being used for awesome projects and by start ups.

If Oracle's plan is to keep Java alive as a glue for their DB that strategy would work fine.

But it would be a long term disaster in terms of overall innovation, and long term viability for choosing everyday projects.
My thoughts:

1. Most people who think that REST is The Best Thing Evar don't really understand what REST is.

2. Most people who think that REST is terrible don't really understand what REST is.

REST is a tool. It's useful for a lot of things. It can alleviate initial scalability issues. It can make an API easier to use or require fewer calls. It can make it easier or more intuitive for someone to learn an API, and it's very often easier to make changes to a REST API because of the way it is written.

But it's just a tool, and if you can't grok that, you're probably a tool as well.
Exactly. I understand that levels of detachment (contracted then subcontracted work, etc) make quality assurance more difficult, but companies like NBC must be held to higher standards especially because of the fights they've chosen to fight. This page is directly linked to from http://www.nbc.com/casting/#home-transformers. One would assume that they'd at least check the content of a site they've linked directly to - there are only 2 content images!
Debian joins the Open Source Initiative
I think one problem is that it's really hard to do structured data in general. Projects that pick a specific domain tend to do it much better, because they have a more tractable problem, can build a community with domain expertise, etc., in ways that Wikipedia will have trouble matching unless they plan to collaborate with those projects and/or pull data from them. For example, I think a structured-data version of Wikipedia artist/album infoboxes is going to have a long way to go to catch up to http://musicbrainz.org/, which has a carefully thought out ontology and years of iteration on that specific problem. Alternatively you can try to do a carefully thought out, consistent schema for all metadata, but the Cyc project shows how hard that is.

I do think that by virtue of breadth Wikipedia's version may become the best data resource in niches that have no specialized structured-data project for them, and it may give other informal-schema, broad-coverage projects like ConceptNet a competitor.
Your VCL ignores the fact that logged in users are going to have cookies and every request would then be piped to your backend. Stripping off the right cookies will allow those requests to be cached.

https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExamples

At the bottom are some example templates that are a bit more tuned for production sites and are in use on some relatively large WordPress sites - last August, they claimed 8m pageviews/day on 3 frontend machines.

While I used to advocate W3TC, his support for Varnish purging has been ignored and I published a patch to fix it. Also, there are a number of tuning tweaks you can do - I don't know if you mounted your shmlog in ram or adjusted threading. The Debian packaged defaults are not very well planned - I don't know if Ubuntu blindly accepted Debian's defaults or repackaged with their own settings.

Nginx also includes its own proxy-cache which can eliminate the need for Varnish if you were still RAM starved. There are things you can do in Varnish VCL that you can't do in Nginx without writing your own module if that is an issue.

Since you're not running Apache with mod_rpaf, did you alter $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] processing? If not, most plugins and even commenting/trackback when used with Akismet would break.

Your worker-processes are probably not set well for nginx and there are a number of other tweaks that can help nginx quite a bit mostly with worker_connections and the rlimit_nofile (which if I recall, the default with a large site with w3tc's object caching would end up causing a bit of churn).

somaxconn might also have given a bit of a boost as you start having more traffic hit the backend. Not sure what version of PHP you get out of the repo or whether the backlog is patched, but, at some point, you'll need to adjust the backlog there for php-fpm - though, you would be well beyond the point of being able to run it on the ECS instance you tested with.

Good job benchmarking and actually including your config files.
Must have disappeared when I transferred the article. Fixed, and thanks for reporting.
The short answer was supplied at the end of his response. He gives a step by step run down of how the encryption and decryption works. The only thing most people not familiar with crypto would probably have an issue with is understanding D-PKG(Distributed-Public Key Generators) and ECCSI(Elliptic Curve-based Certificate-less Signatures for Identifier Based Encryption).

I personally wasn't familiar with D-PKGs but his response allowed me to understand what they were pretty easily.
If I appropriate your lawn mower, you no longer have a lawn mower. That's "stealing". If I use intellectual property that you own without your permission, that's copyright infringement, but you still possess both your property and your rights to it. That's not "stealing".
If the goal is to ensure creatives can make a living at creating things that are trivial to copy, 14 years may be too short. And registering for renewals strikes me as an unnecessary fig leaf to entrenched publishers (who else would have the money or inclination to register and pay for such?).

25 years seems fair.
I think you may be reading my previous comment without considering its context in the thread. I was initially writing in response to the observation that this was "Yet another group of smart folks focused on more-effective advertising." It wasn't clear to me that you and I pivoted from this.

Of course I'm able to consider the idea, rbarooah. What I reject is the notion that we can project our own values on a person and then blame him for not fulfilling them (thus my original comment).
I didn't say they should rewrite everything, but to make a new Java version with backward incompatibilities. Drop a new 1.x version on java for decades can't be the solution.

"classical theft"?

We always complain about the fact that laws don't keep up with the modern world. So why insist that the definition of theft stays in the dark ages? :)

The analogy you bring up is more akin to vandalism in my mind. Theft, in the modern sense, means taking something that isn't yours.

(I'm not necessarily agreeing with the theory that this is theft; just putting out a data point I happen to know of)
Odd, because their FAQ is quite clear about this:

> Are you going to use this to suddenly rewrite the browser and change everything? Is the Mozilla Corporation trying to force the community to use a new language?

> No. The Mozilla Corporation's involvement is at the labs level: the group concerned with doing experiments. The point is to explore ideas. There is currently no plan to incorporate any Rust-based technology into Firefox.

My point is not so much that REST is wrong, but that RESTful thinking can be harmful if it comes before thinking about the process you're supporting.
