nginx will be a huge improvement in terms of resource usage. :-)

The way we use health insurance nowadays is akin to using your car insurance for oil changes and checkups.

Awesome, I'll look into this, too. :D

I use nginx because it consumes a fraction of the resources that Apache does (even when doing nothing but serve static files).

Apache was king (and still has the largest install base), but nginx is probably the best webserver you can use right now. http://wiki.nginx.org

Thanks for the info! I'll check out REE again.

Can you elaborate a bit on this? Did you simply patch the GC? I've seen Evan Weaver's post ( http://blog.evanweaver.com/articles/2009/04/09/ruby-gc-tunin... ) on it, but that's it.

Avoiding local slang when writing is also "ill", my brother.

Does anyone have any suggestions for beginner Haskell projects? I've read through some Haskell material before and tried following tutorials, but I always end up dropping it because I can't think of anything for which I would use it. I have

No, this is absolutely not the case. There are plenty of large sites e.g., yellowpages.com and urbandictionary.com (which switched from PHP) which are built using Rails. Even if you have scaling problems that are around that of, say, Twitte

I am, too, and I also suffer from a similar situation. :-)

More redirection spam by tsecuritytimes that leads to another site that opens a popunder advertisement? Isn't this against the HN rules?

I have the N900. It replaced my E71. The Skype integration is amazing. :-) I agree that Symbian is a dead end. I have two books on Symbian development, and Symbian's bizarre form of C++ and their relatively complex code signing system drove

I don't know if it's fair to say that Qt was developed by Nokia. Nokia acquired Trolltech last year (who were the developers of it).

by munctional 17y ago
The US market, while high in visibility, is largely irrelevant in the global scope. Nokia has a massive install base.

One of the contractors I spoke with said that they had a branch running Rails 2.1 successfully. When they deployed it in production, the entire application fell on its face. Supposedly, the problem was caused by Cache Money, but nobody at T

Twitter's frontend is still definitely Ruby (on Rails). Based on what I've heard from people who have consulted there, it's a gigantic ball of crap. They've so heavily patched Rails 2.0 that they can't realistically migrate to a more modern

There's a reference to "reddits" on the preferences page. Also, I am randomly getting 404s and other server errors when loading the homepage.

Hmm, I thought Dr. Pepper was a Coke property. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Pepper Wiki seems to indicate that Coke manufactures it, but only does so in Europe.

Look up SPF + DKIM (aka "domain keys").

Random question, but did Pepsi offer any vending machines that had Coke products? I imagine at least a few Pepsi employees might like some of the Coke brands (e.g. Dr. Pepper).

This, but add MongoDB as a replacement for MySQL/PostgreSQL, too. Switching from Subversion to Git was like seeing for the first time. No more nightmare merges!

It reduces the keyspace that needs to be searched when bruteforcing... leading to accounts being compromised more easily. That's about it.
