If you've got a completely static site and it's being served out of a CDN, the underlying hosting shouldn't really be an issue. The majority of users/web requests aren't going to b…

You're correct on 3; I actually did this in a large system I wrote and worked on at my last job. It wasn't quite dynamic (it required an engineer to set new values for how many wor…

What makes this a problem? The initial request to Polyglot is also "push". The rest of the web works on "push" too; pull in this case would only help if you don't care that a reque…

If the goal is the ability to have certain routes processable by different languages/systems you could achieve this with reverse proxying (from eg. nginx) [1]. That way you can lev…

I had to do the same thing from NameTerrific but got my migration code from the top-level. The worst part is that I was "in contact" with the owner via Twitter, and he assured me t…

Mainly because the checksum is a very good source of truth. Not every file you get is named correctly, or the same as originally intended. Regardless of the checking method, will t…

What does this have over AniDB? I'm seeing MyAnimeList mentioned in the comments, but not AniDB? Do you guys have an API checking file hashes/fingerprints against episodes to add t…

Answering the question specifically: Yes. Same as if you were in say, construction, and you were expecting crane operators to bring their own cranes. A dentist their own drill. A c…

I'm dubious as to the worth of these as a specific kitchen utensil; most how-to videos I've seen include a jumper as the sole "equipment" required. Maybe two rubber bands on either…

A neat little trick I learned here on HN is to add ?share=1 to the end of the URL to bypass that. http://www.quora.com/Node-js/Why-did-Koding-switch-from-Node...

If they want to travel more, they can work to get the extra income required to do so above/beyond the basic income. Which would act as an incentive for them to work.

Isn't it "web log"?

This is what I used to do until I forced myself back into an engineering position (at another company).

Seems like another web-developer/-designer mixup :(

I don't recall ever reading that just because you have tests, you should no longer understand the processes by which your code functions. Was this something that they've seen happe…

In contrast to direct database access, the HTTP implementation of the abstraction layer performed significantly worse. This will have also been part of the abstraction library havi…

I was headed down a similar path myself, but luckily I was writing a completely new library that would abstract a lot of key-value stores. Before we used it in production, I perfor…
