Varnish is heavily threaded. It maintains queues where connections are put and worker threads pull them out. It is expected that a single connection gets a dedicated thread.

When a page is requested, some of the links (fnid=X) map to functions on the server that are held in memory. The id (X) is a key that is associated with a continuation for a specific "session". It's not a bug, but a feature of Arc and other

Expired links are the result of Arc's web server reclaiming stale continuations. It's a side effect of creating a web application using a continuation-based server.

I don't spend my vacations working for other people. You also can't expect a contractor to be passionate about your company when they have no vested interest in its success.

I personally feel that Dropbox removing files from someone's account is completely wrong, regardless of your ToS. Your service is there to backup files. When you delete references to files from someone else's accounts, you're violating the

I finally jumped into ios development. Not really on the side since it's been my main focus lately. I went from not knowing any ios stuff to launching my first app in a week. I'm about to put my third app on the app store. I'm not making mu

It was just bad wording on my part. What I tried to say was that there's a difference between giving $150k to a charity outright and donating money on behalf of the users who refer more users.

by reynolds 16y ago
You're right. After jumping the gun I realized they're not "giving it to charity", but rather using it to acquire users.
11.
by reynolds 16y ago
It looks like $10/referral up to 100 referrals. If they make $20/user/mo this is a no brainer.
12.
by reynolds 16y ago
That makes sense. At least you guys are using it to get user referrals rather than throwing it in a wheel barrow and burning it :)

This seems like a slap in the face of the investors. Giving a chunk of your startup capital to a charity is basically throwing it away. Good for the charity but this startup seems too early stage to be giving that kind of cash away. I hope

Felix is still working on Chicken. He's also active on the mailing list. There are a number of people actively working on it as well.

I love Chicken Scheme. The community is awesome and tightly knit. They're always looking to help out new users. I was new to the community awhile back and got a ton of solid feedback on some work I was doing in Chicken. I published epoll bi

It seems obvious that the person asking this question is a troll.

It's interesting to me that they turned down a $100M+ offer and raised at only a $25M pre-money valuation. Wouldn't it make more sense to raise at close to $100M pre-money?

I started with HyperCard as a kid. My parents got me a couple Java books but I never got into it. My first real programming experience was with Python when I was in high school. My dad told me that no one uses Python and that I should learn

There are a lot of reasons to believe we're in another startup bubble, but at least Cheezburger is profitable.

Private IPO sounds kind of funny to me. IPO literally means Initial Public Offering.

I wrote a blog post awhile back that was really controversial. It was about code ownership. People were split down the middle on hating code ownership or loving it. I think some people even took it to mean actual owning of the code. I was c

I'm not sure that I agree with the claim that retraining someone for a short while can place that person at a similar level of mastery as his or her high-tech peers. It may work for entry level positions. And even then they may not have the

I do a lot of Python and have even worked on my own web frameworks before. I've done web development with many different Python web frameworks. I also don't consider myself just a web developer. I was recently interviewing for a Python/Djan

If you're targeting a specific platform, it can make sense to use a virtual machine instead of installing that platform on your development machine. As far as code is concerned, it doesn't care that you're running it on a Linux VM inside a

The way I do it is to write all of the code locally and use git/svn/hg/whatever locally. I then rsync my changes to the virtual machine when I'm ready to test.

It's actually something I've been working on that I want to put up on github. I hacked up a Python version of it as a proof-of-concept but rewrote it in C as an installable executable using autotools. Basically I tell it which directory I w

I'm not sure if this helps in your situation, but when I'm running VMware I don't share any local directories. I use rsync to manage the virtual server directories since it's similar to how I deploy to my remote servers. Having to manually

That nugget of useful information is also explained (in a lot more detail) in one of the first chapters of the "Introduction to Algorithms" book. When I was working through the book (and I still am to some extent), it was basically beat int
