I think you're unnecessarily combative in the face of advice and sitting comfortably atop your pillar of experience, ready to shoot down anyone that dare take time to offer you adv…

> Sarcasm aside, you clearly don't understand what my problem is. Yeah, I spent this entire thread clueless about the issue you're running into, even though you spelled it out a fe…

Got it. So you have users that expect to have real-time conversations in the comments on a blog, meaning you can't optimize a blog application like a blog is designed to be used, m…

set beresp.ttl = 30s; Varnish gives you your own throttle for how often you want invalidation. It's a tool specifically designed to make misbehaving apps -- i.e., that widget -- mi…

That's why Varnish is more effective, because you can configure it to cache the results of things that WP Supercache misses by design including the Recent Comments Widget and its d…

You need a cache in front of Wordpress so that it doesn't hit the database on every read, then you can run Wordpress anywhere. I survived close to 3,000 req/sec against a Wordpress…

Look around at the replies to me and the downvote beating I'm taking for sharing my opinion. Turn on showdead for an even more depressing trip through my replies. Then ask yourself…

I was referring mainly to Hacker News and similar communities. Everybody condemning her has been downvoted to oblivion on these threads.

Yeah, that was called for. Thanks for the rational, objective discourse, there, by telling me I should kill myself with anthrax because I disagree with your opinion. Just reminds m…

Her first statement while being interviewed was that she was performing a science experiment. That story changed under interview, and she later admitted someone told her how and en…

And if she had hurt or, worse, killed herself or other people? Reckless is not a quality of a scientist. Why didn't we, the public, extend an invitation to "become a scientist" and…

So I should be able to manufacture pipe bombs because I'm curious how big the explosion is, then? Maybe I can try one out on my school's football field? No malicious intent, just c…

I completely agree. She went back on her story that she was doing a science experiment while being interviewed, but everybody wants to stick to that story anyway. It's almost like …

It is a strange world we live in when making Drano bombs at a high school is compared to the work of Alfred Nobel.

I wouldn't be so sure. I pay a rent premium for a view.

For most customers, maybe, but I suspect there's a pretty sizable portion of the population (myself included) that will happily pay more for an airline that treats me extraordinari…

I do understand the basics of probability. The likelihood of your serving infrastructure or application being compromised is an order of magnitude higher than the most popular repo…

None of the things you listed are problems. The other comment demonstrates solutions to all of them, and I do not understand your fourth bullet point in context at all. > C, C++, J…

> There's no such thing as, say, Maven binary dependencies for Java. I'm saying there should be, but not necessarily the same thing. That's my entire point. I'm also not a fan of t…

No, you just mirror CPAN. This is already done in lots of shops I know of for PyPI. IME, I've only ever had PyPI down on me once , and there are mirrors (that are usually up) if th…

> If you aren't committing your dependencies then you're doing it wrong. Disagree strongly (and hate absolutes like "doing it wrong"). Their metadata, yes, by all means, commit tha…

You are correct. Go's remote imports are dangerous for long-term project maintenance, but the feature is still useful for quick, throwaway projects. Go badly needs two things: 1. A…
