They should have at least had a a announcement mailing list for me to enter.... While i am a Mozilla Fans, i hate to admit it is just not a well run company.

I looked up its performance in ServerBear, In terms of SSD Host, IOPS is not that great. Bandwidth is also low. Both not much of problem since you are very unlickly to saturate those numbers in low en…

Uhm... That is what is happening in Japan. But Not in China.

And that pretty much concludes the article? Serving Cached Dynamic Site with CDN and Static Site with CDN should have the same speed assuming CDN is the same. Which make this speedtest a little point …

I am going to ask a honestly stupid question. What is going to happen to ZFS? Sorry if this is Slightly off topic. Although the comments has already started discussing on it. The OpenSource version of…

I have absolutely ZERO knowledge on Enterprise Networking. But it strikes me that something as dump as Router, Switches or Network Equipment are still so unstable. A Hypothetical questions, why not so…

Well it is not very new as it has been discussed for a while. But at least now more people knows about it. But as the recent Reference Implementation has shown H.265 is moving ahead faster then the pr…

Atom SoC NEVER cost close to $100. And it doesn't cost $40 now either. What you are talking about is the Desktop Atom. Which is different to Mobile / Tablet Costing. I dont think anyone should doubt I…

If you think of Linux Kernel Development as a company then i see nothing wrong with that. In the eyes of CEO, one of his SVP did something totally unacceptable by SVP standard.
comment
(The "cost structure" of the company is built to support much higher margin chips.") That is where you got it completely wrong. Intel can produce ARM based SoC that earns nearly the same margin as the…

Isn't it possible to have a Pure ARMv8 SoC? And leave all the old things behind?
comment
[x] Isn't is possible to have your code base compiled soly for AMRv8 and leave the baggage and compatibility behind in one or two revisions. I am guessing Apple may be able to pull this off with a pur…

You can win three times Lottery Jackpot and you still wouldn't create a damn thing that is anywhere near Apple's Product. Not that they are insanely great, but no one would put label them as cheap, cr…

While they have definitely make jumps in their UI and UX. It is Definitely NOT on par with GitHub. And they didn't get rid of Ads. There are simply less of them. Not that i have a problem with earning…

That is until BB works out a one click migration tool from GitHub to Grab those OpenSource Directly to BB.

The name Safari is still one of those mystery to me, I like the name, and my guess it properly came from the idea of Navigation -> Compass - > Safari. Although i was expecting a post to truly …

I wonder why they NOT gave up the issues earlier at all. They were battling in my view as a lost battle before they start.
I would be surprise if these new chips even comprise of more then 20% of the…

Great, Sometimes i just wish Wordpress would officially support Postgre.

I would love to see how CloudFlare response to this. If they do. From my own testing Cloudflare definitely isn't the fastest CDN, but it has been improving since start of the year and now to an accept…
comment
I have similar experience with CloudFlare. The Speed just isn't there. Most CDN perform MUCH better then them. I would love to pay to even get faster speed. But that is not the model they decided to w…

Depends how many files you have, but for a general answer it should be 1.

I think there is two problems with Apple in this case. 1. The Services Level shown is subpar compared to what it is in US. Most of the time we see good services, free exchanges and repaired are actual…

That is 6x improvement in speed. Why cant some of these become default?

This article make an assumption about twitter, that it has a technological leads in scaling things and doing it at x message a minutes. I used to think that as well. Until i saw Weibo's numbers, which…

Lotus Notes as an Email client sucks. And i am forced to use it in my company. I guess since i dont use it that way, Lotus Notes is a very powerful "platform", that allows you to create different thin…

I wonder how much more performance can we squeeze off from compiler. Since x86 had the advantage from years of tuning. But if a Ivy Bridge of upcoming Haswell was throw into the chart i guess ARM as a…

List of features still waiting for.
Generational GC
OMTC - Off main thread composition
SuperSnappy - a mini e10s
Support of H.264 Codec - aka playing H.264 using the codec that comes default in Window…

I had yet seen any benchmarks of reviews of such indication. Ruby 2.0 is a tiny steps in performance and GC. It would be nice if you could point me to some resources.
comment
Speed and Memory usage. Both needs a huge improvement. And i could not understand why they are even trying with mRuby.
( I mean have they not heard of a thing called Lua and LuaJIT? ) Hopefully a lot…
