No need to be pedant dude.

They can sue you for making this hypothesis publicly, please think of it (in your interest).

Seems not (re-read the guidelines).

If you look at Firefox memory consumption while browsing Twitter, you'll see the main culprit is, like always, DOM operations (repaint/reflow particularly). Solution: use Chrom{e|ium}.

Obvious difference: I expect not to get my HDD corrupted because I visited an arbitrary website, I understand it might be the case if I download AND run an arbitrary program.

Which kind?

This is not that exciting: a malicious XSS or CSRF and PAF! an attacker writes on the user filesystem!

I always think that Scala lacks a good, deep IDE, but this is a handy list. Thanks.

The handling of a <video> is outsourced to the OS.

This, obviously, is out of bounds.

So it's really just a time-limited solution, a temporary chance.

It's OK while it is sensible (after all, you will inform your friends you have published a new blog post or whatever) and not some heavy "please upvote" campaign.

You read my mind for "parity of a set". So Q.E.D.: parity is only applicable to reason about numbers (and infinity is not a number). See also surreal numbers.

Parity is a property of numbers and sets only. Or do you think infinity is a set?

update: no more the case: see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2121727

The magic of the cloud! Imagine running that on Heroku (for instance): it would be costly (price) but possible.

A friend of mine opened a company (EURL) in 2 weeks and for about 300 euros. Honest. It'd be twice as expensive in, say, Estonia (I run a business there).

Totally. "If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you first need to recreate the Universe" -- Sagan.

I always thought the purpose of Arc was to be cruft-free, "don't include it unless it is actually needed".

What is the main bottleneck of HN?

Yes, if by "caching" you mean and only mean "caching on RAM".

David Filo is the co-founder of Yahoo! if you don't know him.

Reverse-proxying via nginx would solve this problem and more: the arbitrary 30 second limit on form submission (hotspots sometimes are slow...), nginx could handle rate limiting & logging instead of srv.arc, etc. The Arc codebase would btw be smaller and cleaner (no policy/sanitization code, etc.).

Serving static content via Apache was a first step ;-)

Don't reinvent the wheel!

it doesn't actually communicate its message successfully at the most basic level.

As a marketer, I agree.

Whatever your traffic, if you build it, they will come.

thx bro!

Does the government count?

wat do you mean?
