This is such a shock to me! I've been a Final customer for a year or so now, and I have absolutely loved their product. I told all of my friends about it. I'm so sad to hear they're shutting down, and very curious as to wh

For me, the real draw was how easy it is to setup a cluster with high availability and automatic failover. Having used MySQL in production on a mission critical web app for years, failing over between data centers and setting up replicatio

+1 for using a mix of two providers. That's what we do at my startup. Never had a problem since (knock on wood).

I'm no stranger to Node.js. We use it in production for all of our real-time/async stuff. The new ES6 features async/await are cool and all, but it's a late addition to a language that was clearly not designed for sync

My company's product backend is written in PHP. I'm currently rewriting it, and when I started the process, I tried doing it in Node.js because 1) the possibility of client/server code sharing and 2) that's what all the

If you have difficulty concentrating, are easily distracted, impulsive (i.e. checks Hacker News a lot), are irritable, etc, you might look into whether you have ADD/ADHD. I had all of those symptoms, but never considered I might have A

I don't know why that would make you happy. My comment was not positive.

This is great. I'm sorry to say that my startup was guilty of this as well. Not anymore though. Thanks for your article.

I, too, am getting really tired of this. It's not just Microsoft though. It's a lot of different companies. Right now, I'm in the middle of an epic battle with Adobe to get a refund. I bought an educational version of the CS3 master coll

I think they're helpful too! Just use isset() to check whether variables exist, and you shouldn't get any errors unless you make a mistake (in which case, wouldn't it be nice to know?).

The problem is that the reporter doesn't know that the details of the breach mentioned in this article are facts. The figures, that there were 6,480 files totaling 300 GB of data likely came from the prosecution. So the reporter needs to

I was just looking at the demo. Haven't tried installing it on my own server because I'm traveling at the moment. Can't wait though.

+1 for this. It worked for me. Although (and there may have been other reasons for this), the effect fleeted with time.

I do! A killer tip too. The Linode tutorials teach you one way of installing Apache, PHP, and MySQL... but there is another. If you're using Ubuntu and you run the command "sudo tasksel", that'll launch a program that lets you pick from a

I was in a similar position about nine months ago. I was on a shared server, and now I'm rocking a VPS with a pretty good confidence level. Here's what I did. First, I picked a Linux distribution. I went with Ubuntu because of ease of us
