Ash HN: Which is best to host web app?
My site currently works in host-gator.
It is very slow.
I am looking for a new place for my site (web app).

Please advise For fast, reliable and affordable price.
Thanks

If they can get to your console, you've already lost. And I know it might be OT to put it in this subthread, but just to bin up some of my responses:

- Yes, this is a repost, and yes, I had a similar reaction to many of "people still don't know about this?!", but if someone comes away using SSH with keys after reading this article, then it's worth it. It'd be nice if every programmer out there had some sys admin experience, but it's not going to happen.

- SSH keys depends on KDE or GNOME? That ought to surprise the Windows and Mac users (not to mention all those BSD/Linux/UNIX users who don't use KDE or GNOME) who use SSH keys. Last I checked (last time I logged into a freshly booted system), you ran ssh-add on first login, and if that doesn't work (or you have to do it for each shell/session), check the man page for keychain[1].

What can I expect?
I completely disagree with you calling it an "embarrassing system". I've had my Pi for a couple of weeks now and been happily tinkering with it. For the price I am utterly amazed with it (in fairness, I'm a bit of an old git and amazed that you can buy a 2TB HD for less than £100 so I may not be the best judge here).

Whilst it may not be the quickest thing out there, it is a start, and I think this is the most important thing about the Pi - it is a statr. It is so cheap it will get people interested in and tinkering with this kind of technology. As a result more people will move into this space, surely the Cubieboard is testament to that. (As well as the Parallella[1] which sadly I don't think will make it's Kickstarter goal)

Sometimes you want to express multiple is-a relationships at the same time. In that case, composition is a hack, and multiple inheritance is a better match for the concept.

I prefer having more options how my objects behave than fewer.

But, since Ruby 2.0 does not and will not have multiple inheritance, this is all off-topic.

Funny how my bank beats XE for EUR->GBP (and yes, it's close, but XE loses - found out that after signing up for XE )

I'll look into TransferWise as well

I was furious at the spread like many, but then understood the problem (not that I'm happier) still, a lot of money is spent on wire fees as well.
Not sure 'Post-mortem' sets the right tone given the contents of the post.
I don't see much sexism on here and the stuff that I do see looks like obvious trolling.

I do sometimes see people accused of being sexist for applying any skeptisism to "all men in tech are sexist pigs" articles.
Looks "cool" is not the same as well-designed or usable.

The Metro UI is awesome for touch devices, but mostly just flat out bad and wrong for anything else.
Facebook already touts the benefits of paid media over "organic audience" for marketers, so I fail to see how this is a huge difference from what they've been doing. For example, see the case study information presented at http://allfacebook.com/understanding-paid-and-earned-reach-o...
When I worked at a bank, they would say "A margin you can drive a truck through" about this kind of thing. :)
Somehow people keep missing the point: Raspberry Pi is meant to be a nearly-disposable kids' learning toy first and foremost. The object of the game, from the beginning, was to get a programming sandbox into as many small hands as possible—in families that couldn't afford a "real" computer, or couldn't/wouldn't allow kids to try potentially damaging things on the family machine.

It's nice that it can, incidentally, play other roles, but those other roles are not it's purpose. It's not an "embarrassing system"; low cost, "universal" peripherals (common televisions as the "monitor", for example), enough portability to get the unit to and from school are its primary concerns. It's an OLPC for the western world, a BBC Micro reborn for the modern age. Y'all rabbits might like these Trix, but they're for kids.
I suggest doing something completely new. Twitter was a good way to get someone's attention in the early days. Now, people are wary of spam and will probably ignore your message. This alone should be enough to make you dump this idea. Even if they listen to your message, they still have to buy what you recommend. Too many if's.

Find a problem a core group of people have. Develop a solution to solve that problem, and find a way to distribute that solution.
On the contrary, it may include a lot more than that but it appears not to.
> The following program (in pseudo-Python) shows a program which will fail to type check in any sound static type system which I know of ...

I think (haven't checked) that the equivalent of that code will type just fine in Typed Scheme [1] and this kind of type system has been studied since the 70s as intersection types and have found a fair amount of application in type systems for compiler intermediate representations (because they fit well with optimisations involving type specialisation).

He's quite right to say that you can always find such untypeable examples for static type systems that are reasonable (esp. that they have an acceptable complexity for type inference).

Indeed. I asked Scott Guthrie if they had any plans for this, but they don't according to him (as he probably knows). Too bad, because that would be a great move.
Realize that the A10 does not have mainline kernel support and part of that reason is because the code is so bad no one wants to even try to get Linus to add it.
Recommendation is to validate "best practice" claims. Doesn't matter what hosting solution used. Measure, measure, measure to make sure not only are you getting said claim but also that the end result meets your expectations. An example is in the past I had 7 "instances" (as shykes points out make sure they are hosted on separate nodes!) 4 of which where load balances Python web app. One of the nodes was overloaded so 1 out of 4 requests was very slow (5-10x). This was a big ajax app so initial page load would hang on the request(s) to that one instance. My point was since I had measured I could see that the node was the problem and now that I am on dedicated EC2 each node is consistant. Good luck.
I suspect what you are seeing is the output of a password cracking program that is dumping out cracked MD5s or similar. The zeroes at the end is a technique that's been seen before to mark a password as cracked, see for example with the dump of the LinkedIn hack: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4073309
Well, they are not charging a fee - they are offering a price. If you go and buy a pound of oranges, then usually also no fee is being charged, but that doesn't and shouldn't mean that they are selling the oranges for the same price as wholesale.

And nobody (including you, Floyds or Jesus) can get mid-market rate for an immediate exchange of $1000:

1) The rate that you can get for a deal right now is different than the rate of the deal you made a minute ago - since the market is moving, but the mid-market rate is based on previous deals; so depending on rise/fall you might not get anyone to accept your deal at that price;

2) You can get market rates for market-sized deals, and that is measured in round millions; if you want to buy 1000 EUR, then that rightly deserves a markup of wholesale/retail;

3) In the common forex market, you don't get your funds immediately; spot deals are usually settled within 2 business days. If you want immediate money - then that is a different product with a different price.
Really depends on what you mean with webapp... if you say hostgator I suppose you are talking about a PHP website. It's been a long time since I last used one of those services, I now host everything on my Rackspace VPS. For ~15$ each month I have a VPS all for me wich I can manage as I want.
Otherway I heard a lot of people saying that Heroku (Ruby, Node.js, Clojure, Java, Python, and Scala)is very good. Or Google App Engine (Java, Python, Go)
Tech Companies: Stop blaming AWS; Globally Load Balance your s#$%
Seems to change too often for a number station. I wonder if foreign intelligence agencies would even consider using an American company for their covert communications.

I think it is less spooky: My bet is on it being an iPhone app from years ago, maybe long pulled from the store. Its dev was using the Twitter account as a logging system. Maybe for something silly as highscores from around the world. "_dev" and "_prod" seem far too innocent names for an account that is trying to fly under the radar.

EDIT: Perhaps it is used for indexation benchmarks? Deploy a tweet with a unique string and location, and check how long it takes before it shows up in the index or notification inbox?
It depends on how consistent that revenue is. Have you been earning $3000/month for a few years? A few months? If a few years, then I would put a 1-2 X annual revenue, which puts it at 30K-60K. If a few months, then probably 1/2 year revenue, which puts it at 10-15K.

Also, consider the affiliate relationship. Is it easily transferable? Do you have any special relationship?

Lastly, do you spend any money on advertising, or paid links?

1-2 X annual revenue sounds pitiful, especially when we hear stories of acquisitions with 100 X multipliers. But keep in mind, you're selling a website not a startup. Buyers will always keep asking you: Why the heck do you want to sell if it's earning you that much money (EVERYONE says they want to move on to something else, so they'll be skeptical of you too)? Thus the low multiplier.
Going to the moon was not a "big problem". It was an admirable goal, and it captured the imagination of the world, but having not visited the moon wasn't a "problem" for the U.S. or any other country.
> This is an abomination

That's pretty rude.

> Do we honestly need a "framework" to use the background-color and float properties?

This story is on the front page, so there are obviously some folk who would. I quite like it, and if it improves as a result of positive feedback, that'll be great. Your feedback has not been positive.

> I'm not trying to be a hater or a downer

Yes, yes you are. Or perhaps you meant "I am being a hater and a downer but I'm hardly having to put any effort into it".

> I just can't believe that this is the state of web design right now.

I can't believe this is the state of commenting right now. Ah, wait, no, this is just your comment and is not 'the state of commenting'.

As I would say, "COME ON!".

I am sure this is just interference or something and please excuse me if this is stupid thing to point out but I decided to check this out and listen to the live stream of this linked to via Wikipedia and after 5 minutes or so I started to hear a distorted conversation. It has continued ever since. Is this normal?
I agree that this is mainline code. I have a couple of multisite instances and I allow no plugins beyond Akismet purely to make upgrades and performance a no-brainer.

Yet in my pinboard I have this bookmarked: http://pento.net/2011/04/28/partitioning-the-wordpress-comme...

Yup, I had to partition the comments table.

I've been watching this too: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postgresql-for-wordpress...

I'm willing to accept fractionally slower page loads, as for the most part they're cached heavily post-generation. I'd feel far more comfortable partitioning in Postgres not least because I'm far more familiar with it.

SSL Vulnerabilities Found in Critical Non-Browser Software Packages
I meet many developers who seem to be developing for iOS "just because". It seems that iOS gets a free pass for a number of reasons. In my opinion, if you're a small studio or one-person company you're doing yourself a disservice by targeting iOS first. In this article I try to make the case that small, independent studios should target Windows 8.

There's two different HTTP Streaming endpoint for Twitter's stream

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/sample

Returns a small random sample of all public statuses. The Tweets returned by the default access level are the same, so if two different clients connect to this endpoint, they will see the same Tweets

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/firehose

Returns all public statuses. Few applications require this level of access. Creative use of a combination of other resources and various access levels can satisfy nearly every application use case.

Money is a commodity. Commodities in efficient markets have buy and sell orders, and spreads between them. Spreads allow market-makers to make a small profit and protect them from the risk of holding the currency.

While the site looks nice, the views expressed are so naive (and riddled with misspellings,) I'd recommend avoiding any major transactions with these people.
I don't know if it's fair to blame laziness. Acting in haste, maybe? A ternary implementation for something that intuitively seems like a binary choice is a little... well.. unintuitive. That said, when building an application of significant scale, yeah, you should probably read the documentation of anything you aren't familiar with.
The Future of Learning, Networked Society
I tend to agree -- there's no compelling need to get to Mars. But there are many large problems that would be worth working on. Food supplies and distribution, renewable energy, poverty, basic education, civic engagement, etcetera. Self-sufficient robots might be nice-to-have too, but I'm less convinced about the social utility. That just sounds to me like either teleconferencing robots[1] or UAVs for war.

The concern is that we've given up on trying to mobilize during peacetime. That collective amnesia has lulled us to complacency based on large, flat-screen TVs and high-speed internet, forgetting that fiber networks and LCD technology took decades of concerted effort, institutional-scale labs, and principled scientific methods.

I'd like to offer one more partial cause. It is certainly incomplete and possibly simplistic, but let's put it out there:

Big-idea technological innovation has been led for years by the US, and for some time by the USSR as well. But the Soviet Union is gone, and there may be a cultural shift in America: going at it alone and distrust of government. The libertarian streak that has long been present in American culture seems to be taking hold of more and more people. Even Democrats seem to have a distrust of government, and some even partially accept right-wing axioms about the benefits of small government and spending cuts. But some undertakings are simply too big for private corporations, and require government funding and control. Only Americans increasingly distrust the gov't.

This sentiment is not bad necessarily, but it's becoming pervasive and might be spreading beyond just distrust of government. Americans (or, rather, well-to-do Americans, or those born to the right parents in the right neighborhoods) don't want to be a small cog in a big machine. They prefer going at it alone, or in a small team and encourage individual expression.

So this is not wrong, and it certainly doesn't apply to everyone everywhere, but it might just be one more reason in the decline of huge undertakings, that might require collaboration on a national or international scale, where talented people must be content to contribute their small part to a very large and non-individual expression.

Plug in the flash drive, then "tail -n 20 /var/log/syslog" (on most systems, and assumes the system isn't very busy), and look for the notification of the plug-in event with the device node, e.g. /dev/sdb1.

Then, "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/flashdrive", replacing the device node with whatever you see in syslog, and the mount point with the appropriate folder on your filesystem (really, whatever you want it to be -- you can mount something to your home folder if you like). 'mount' should be able to auto-detect the filesystem on the device unless you're running a really old Linux or BSD.

Does that help?

> (how) can one counter such attempts?

I think I'm mostly safe the way I browse: Firefox with Cookie Monster denying everything (except whitelist), NoScript blocking all javascript (except whitelist), and RequestPolicy blocking all cross site requests (except whitelist).

In theory, this would not protect against the ETag header technique being used if it were being implemented by the site itself, but since I believe it was actually done via a 3rd party request to KISSmetrics' domain, RequestPolicy should block it.

It sounds like you and ohashi don't understand how caching works. WP caching serves up static copies of your pages, bypassing the code and DB calls that would normally be required. Since your code is bypassed cookies won't be set.

This isn't something specific to WPEngine, this is how all the good WP caching plugins work.
As noted the elsewhere,

On staging, all posts end in ba0000000. On prod, all posts end in 200000000 or 350000000. Since these sequences are repeated, it seems likely they could be disregarded.

He is referring to the inevitable extinction event that will cause humans to be wiped out. The history of the planet suggests that it periodically wipes the slate nearly clean. And while there are human reasons we might get wiped out (war, warming, techno catastrophe) even being ideal stewards will eventually result in the loss of the human race. The only survival option is to not be on planet when the 'bad thing' (what ever it happens to be) happens.
