Arvel Gentry must be mentioned, he transferred much of the aerodynamics research to sailing with an amazing series of magazine articles. He debunked a lot of faulty theories, like …

Don’t the terms of service for nearly all consumer ISPs explicitly prohibit sharing or reselling?

Completely unrealized gains or had you actually lost capital you converted to BTC?

Frequently at design time you don't know enough. This is exactly why SQL is great, it is incredibly flexible, it can also allow you to get in your own way, this is just a feature t…

This is very useful for batch or cleanup jobs. For example, imagine a system where items are soft-deleted immediately upon user action, but not actually deleted for a few days to f…

This is excellent, especially the diagrams. I'd love to see a explanation of the security implications of each flow. As I understand it the "most secure" flow is OAuth 1.0a (three-…

You don't have to re-learn puppet/chef/cfengine/bash script every time. You learn it once. It requires much less effort to "maintain" than manually updating more than 1 box.

Can you please post a picture of the server so we can see all the sweet LEDs on network cards?

I want this to work, and be real, but I'm skeptical. I don't know how to change that.

For backend nginx instances (we use nginx to balance application servers, and nginx right in front of Unicorn on those application servers) use the Real IP module to have logs tran…

MySQL + Percona.

I have similar troubles with the mobile application when in "low signal" environments. It should decide to swap to local or do a better job buffering, but having 1 bar is not going…

Thats what this is.

Isn't this a "poor man's version" of what cloudflare offers? They even have an optimized version called railgun ( https://www.cloudflare.com/railgun ) that only ships the diff acro…

Next time you are caching a bit list with memcached and running out of space, you may replace that big list with a bloom filter.

I'm a Ruby fan, but "pretty much first on the scene with their gem ecosystem" is patently false. CPAN is much bigger, and much older. http://www.cpan.org/

This is why nginx gzips the body before writing the headers out. You can use 'chunked_transfer_encoding' to enable chunking, combined with 'proxy_buffering off', your backend can s…

It says that the company is headquartered in Seattle, Washington which is on Pacific Daylight Time.

In my experience you get an IP returned as an A record for each AZ you have instances in. Inside each AZ traffic is balanced equally across all instances attached to the ELB. The E…
