Haven't had time to look at the actual app yet, but the homepage looks very broken on iPad — not only do I need to horizontal scroll for some things, but other things are getting cut off at the viewport width. You need to add a meta viewport tag, or better still, redesign for circa 960px wide — there are still quite a lot of people, especially if you're going for the enterprise market, with 1024x768 screens out there.

Assuming that all that's keeping you thinking is that concrete and thus being able to be written down, and that nothing new comes up while you're settling in. I seriously doubt that writing down sth. like "Does the little red-haired girl like me? Probably not." terminate all distracting thought.

The page size is just shy of 3kb. At 350k hits, that's around 1gb of data transfer.

If he had 100 requests in one second (average is 8/ps over 12 hours), that's 300kb per second transfer rate.

1gb of data transfer for a single day is relatively small. Server upload rates of <1mbps is also small.

If we make the page 100kb in size now, for example with a few nice images 350k hits turns to 34gb of data transfer. 100 requests in one second would require a 10mbps transfer rate. A $15p/m host likely wouldn't be able to cope with this.

> I think the combination of Lighttpd+php5-fpm is underappreciated...

So for me the real reason the site stayed up was not because he picked PHP or any other technology, but because the page was barebones and didn't put any strain on the server at all. Page file size is an underappreciated advantage for websites!

Yes, though the light theme doesn't exist yet for all editors (Visual Studio, in my case).
Huh. Really? So the overhead fees that Apple charges for placing something in the app store doesn't including paying app reviewer salaries? How strange. Given that there's probably over 100x as many IOS users as developers, and that the users are supposed to be the ones who benefit most from review, it seems a rather strange bias.

Where do you get your information about the internal income source for the reviewer salaries?
That's a made-to-measure (MTM) suit, which is a completely different animal than a bespoke. I get MTM suits for myself, but I have a cousin that buys bespoke. They're so nice...

Photo gallery sharing is dead. Why?
I have the same problem. Once I write down what I have to do I start thinking about the best way to do it and all the possible scenarios it could lead to.

I've found that having a regular sleep time has helped me the most. I get up between 7am and 9am everyday and go to bed between 11pm and 12am. If I keep to this schedule I find myself naturally getting tired around 11pm everyday. If I don't keep this schedule (which happens often before I rediscover it's benefits) I find I suffer from bad insomnia and often lie awake all night even when I feel extremely tired.

I'm a .NET developer by trade with some very brief experience writing Java applications in Linux. My only real experiences with Linux is from my degree as since then I've been dedicated to .NET.

Something I've wanted to do for a very long time is pick up Linux and to be able to use it as well as your typical developer that uses Linux from day-to-day. For this reason, I've decided to pick up Python and use it on my new Ubuntu desktop (dual-boot on top of Windows 7) along with the online version of Learn Python the hard way.

So far, it's been a real struggle to get things working the way I'd like. Writing Python on Windows 7 has been a surprisingly painless experience so far, but getting something like Django set up took me hours. Perhaps I just suck with Linux, who knows?

Outside of the pain of setting things up things just seem to work well and I'm glad that I decided to take the plunge in Linux over Windows. Python might not ever pay the bills, but I can apply myself in a different way and perhaps make myself employable in the future outside of .NET or Java. I love "The Unix Way" of doing things and hopefully it'll eventually click.

Notice that I don't like software piracy either, and I don't pirate myself: I use almosts exclusively free software (yes, I'm one of these guys :) and I buy my music, movies and the very few proprietary programs I use (like some games).

However, it seems to me that software piracy is a given of the media; there is no solution to it. Remember the 1976 Bill Gates' open letter to pirates? It's like drug prohibition: there is one supposed "right" state of the affairs which is unattainable, but for some reason the pragmatic approach is taboo.

I suppose software piracy is actually closer to the "tragedy of the commons" mechanisms than actual theft.

Page two, line eight of Oracles' disclosure states that they retained him as a "consultant on competition-related matters." Although that isn't necessarily the same as paying him for "promoting their case", its hard not to get that impression when you read his enthusiastic backing of Oracle's legal theory as used in the case.

Nevertheless, I'll edit my comment to clarify.
Puh...I'm not sure if I like that. Yes for skimming a text it might be useful, but then why not just write a very good description/summary at the top or bullet-point conclusion at the bottom.

Also the first sentence of a paragraph should provide a summary of the following paragraph if following good writing guidelines (kinda http://www.une.edu.au/tlc/aso/students/factsheets/paragraph....)

On the other hand, collapsible blog posts could help the writer. For instance after writing a blog post I would love if in iAWriter or WriteMonkey I could collapse all the paragraphs to just their respective first sentence. If the collapsed text would still bring my argument across I did a good job, if not I'd have to rework it.

If wages are so cheap, doesn't that usually mean that real talent leaves to find better jobs in the USA or London or similar places?

Is office space really that cheap in Edinburgh or other large cities?
Yeah I am also of the same opinion about high quality contributors. I have a Hacker News Reader iPhone/iPad app on the market and I just had a feature idea from this.

It would be awesome to tag users as favorites and then view their comments from the home page.

Also it would be beneficial to tag some users as annoyingly political so that their comments get hidden automatically.
Cost is a factor, but if there's any way you catch the 4:30 train it drops to £12 which is much better. Or the bus has no peak time charge, but it takes longer.

I guess I'd just like more people to think about it. To many people go "Glasgow/Edinburgh, eww" and set up a false divide without even considering if it's possible to head across.

From what I've seen at Techmeetup (both Edinburgh & Glasgow) the number of travelers is small, but they are there.
And don't forget that you'd have other costs involved:

o The cost to fix the corrupted data

o Opportunity costs of a broken software (it is Black Friday and your site is down)

o Image costs of the ability of your company/product

o The costumer cost (specially if she is also from your company)

These costs are very difficult to measure. The chart is popular because it matches our expectation as developers.

> If wages are so cheap, doesn't that usually mean that real talent leaves to find better jobs in the USA or London or similar places?

The cost of living is cheaper and quality of life is usually considered better, so when making personal decisions about where to go it's not just a simple wages comparison.
reminded me about awesome concept of TiddlyWiki.
Why a programmer should try online poker
Wages are cheap because cost of living is low. If someone wants to find "better jobs" somewhere else, they generally have to accept higher cost of living. Those remote jobs where you get San Francisco wages and live in the rural mountains are fewer than is ideal.

Especially if you're not offering a single compelling reason, it feels like I'm being taken for a fool.

Mini Hd-Cam Review
So to be compatible with the PATCH method json-patch must be atomic. Barring some type of transactional memory system won't this mean that you either must a) copy the target before applying the patch, or b) record a reverse patch to roll-back with?

Seems there would only be benefit if the changes were very simple and the target very large.
Do you know of a good library for generating a patch from two JSON structures that, when applied to structure A, would produce structure B?

More or less. But I may also want to use the same machine key to perform smaller incremental backups (smaller data set), and I definitely don't want to have to print out two different keys to store in my safe. Just thinking here.
I don't believe that's how these things work.

Power player A meets power player B, they discuss what they hope to do in the near future - plans and interests. Perhaps they will have matters of mutual interest - thats great.

Then they seperately take action, happy to know what positions and interests the other players in the game have.

I've only travelled to America once, Florida. One of my lasting impressions was the size of portions when eating out. You ask for an individual salad and you're given a bowl that's twice as big as a salad you might share between a table where I currently live(Spain). Maybe salad isn't the best example, but it extended to every meal I ordered, chips, meat, pasta, whatever. Whenever an order arrived the eyebrows around my table would go up, followed by some gentle laughing about how we're going to finish it all...

Smaller portions would go a long way towards reducing waste. You can always order more food, but as you say, once food has been delivered on a plate it can only really go in the bin.

Google's list is basically "here's a bunch of organizations which we're a member of or make contributions to." Some of the people within those organizations made comments about the case.

Mueller was directly hired and paid by Oracle. Whether or not he was specifically hired to comment on the case or not, that's quite a different kettle of fish to simply belonging to the same organization that Oracle may have contributed to.

Besides, it's not clear what "consulting" he has done for Oracle, but his expertise is patent law...

She greatly enjoys mental arithmetic and I'd like to find some software that challenges her. There's loads of stuff out there but I don't know whether any of it is good. Ideally looking for personal recommendations.

For context, the mental arithmetic she does is stuff like adding 3 digit numbers, multiplying 2 digit numbers and some basic algebra. She continually asks me for math problems but I'm not sure where to go next.

Thanks in advance.
What notch used is a step further. From what I get this page simply "refreshes" the code and starts the execution anew.
Notch is actually hot-swapping code, for example the code in the update function of the game, leaving the game state intact.
If he wants to test a change in the init code for example, he would need to restart the program.

Either way, very cool way to play around with three.js without having to switch back and forth to the editor.
Two others already responded but I'll echo them. Office space in the city centre of Edinburgh and Glasgow is remarkably cheap and plentiful. Living costs are very low (even in these cities) for what you get compared to the suburbs in the USA. There is some brain drain, but the culture and quality of life is the "pull" that the original article was describing. Most Scots who are brain drained away come back to raise kids or retire.
Foundation does seem really cool but there's a lot of little things that kind of bother me. Take a look at their "tabs" documentation (http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/tabs.php). Is a <dl> really the best element for tabs? The markup also has to link to "#about" to activate the content in <foo id="aboutTab"></foo> which is the opposite of what I've been doing all these years, <foo id="about"></foo> should be what it links to. Maybe I just worry too much.

I had basically the same experience a few years ago when the Wikileaks stuff was first released and I hacked together a basic search engine for it. Interestingly, I got most traffic through Twitter which I hardly ever use personally.

Anyway, that was an EC2 Micro running PHP-FPM on Nginx, and it stayed up without problems through millions of hits over a few days as well. It's easy to write a well-scaling single-function site like that.

Yet a lot of blogs and more complex sites die instantly when they cross a couple of dozen hits per second. I suspect there are multiple reasons for it, but the most egregious one coming to mind is the typical PHP setup within shared hosting environments where every single request means about 30 file compilations and a lot of DB requests. Caching is probably not very popular either.
Edinburgh is the place to be, although i live northern ireland- having been over for the recent fringe and talked to some imigrant workers, they couldnt be happier.

Americans wasting/not wasting some of their surplus food (in America!) is not going to affect starving people elsewhere

The money used to buy (and then waste) surplus food could be donated to the most effective charities[1][2], thereby saving lives. You could donate directly to charities which feed starving people although these may not do the most good (in terms of lives saved per dollar donated).

Thinking about going that route myself. Do you use html5shiv?
You are spot on. If you are well organized, you will have no problem sleeping, because your stuff is in your trusted system/inbox and not your head.

But if you are not well organized, then this 1 simple technique comes in handy.
It may only be the top 0.01% but there are also only really a handful of established tailors who offer full bespoke. I really doubt there are more than 100, maybe 200 tops. They serve all the oil money playboys, the Chinese new wealth, the business magnates, all of the world's wealthiest customers. Often these customers purchase suits in large quantities too (The measuring process gets significantly less intensive each time you purchase a new suit) and have the ability to fly the tailors to their homes. I think a lot of people here underestimate the sheer quantities of suits these 0.01% purchase. The average person here may have two or three suits, they may have two or three closets of suits.

If anything, bespoke clothing is doing better than it has in almost a century. China's incredible boom has led to a whole new crop of millionaires with an insatiable desire for western luxury goods. Suits, purses, jewelry, wristwatches, everything. LVMH's spectacular profits are a good proof of this.

People have been saying "the suit is dead" for a number of years now. Yeah, maybe it is, maybe we will never go back to Mad Men days of suits in the office and dinner jackets at night, maybe the suit as a consumer good is on its last legs. But the bespoke suit, the suit as a piece of craftsmanship is doing better than ever.

I don't know if the 350k hits run that script, let's say they did.

The OP is praising the performance of lighttpd + php5-fpm, but the script actually spawns an external process to search for the UUID. That's like running an old GGI that needs to be executed with every request.

I may be wrong but using lighttpd and php5-fpm (with fastcgi) may not be as relevant as it seems. I'd say that the operating system is caching everything.

EDIT: yes, php-fom is "a simple and robust FastCGI Process Manager for PHP". I'm no doing much PHP lately!
