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 specif…

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.

Fair enough.

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 …

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 a…

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…

You're right. After jumping the gun I realized they're not "giving it to charity", but rather using it to acquire users.

It looks like $10/referral up to 100 referrals. If they make $20/user/mo this is a no brainer.

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 …

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 feedba…

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…

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 pe…

My mom knows what delicious is. That's pretty mainstream in my book.

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 fo…
