Looks like someone already wrote a post about it: https://blog.filippo.io/komodia-superfish-ssl-validation-is-...
We actually already do that with our API version of the plugin. We're currently working on a new plugin which should deprecate our old JavaScript version.

Awesome site guys! You also just reminded me about the new ATAL EP that came out yesterday.

Re:11:30 AM- Amazon.com and S3 are down! on Friday May 04, 2007 @02:41PM (#19477)
All the recommendations Amazon is showing me are from things I was looking at years ago.
I noticed the indexer broke sometime last week, but I had been too busy to debug the issue. I'll try to take a look at it sometime tonight.

I guess it's a good thing there's no authentication on that site.

The nice thing about these web frameworks is that it makes rapid prototyping easy, and in doing so, it does things which may seem "magical". I would recommend that one should gain a certain level of understanding of what's going on behind the scenes. In doing so, it won't be as "magical" after all.
Re:TechStars and YCombinator: Summer camp without the girls on Wednesday April 18, 2007 @04:57PM (#14274)
I love how the website claims "We plan on digging deeper than most web2 review sites and finding out what is really going on behind the scenes" when they can't even get simple facts that are right on ycombinator.com correct. It sounds like they need to dig a little deeper.
Re:Who wants to discuss about MySQL vs PostgreSQL? on Sunday March 18, 2007 @04:53PM (#4887)
I had been reading numerous articles comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL and ran across this one. I wish they had mentioned some information about the configuration of the DBMS itself, such as the size of database buffers and query optimization settings.

Also, for their MySQL test procedures, I could not find any information regarding which storage engine they were using. InnoDB is fully ACID-compliant, whereas MyISAM has reduced overhead since it does support transactions and foreign key constraints, for example. I found a good article, http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2007/01/08/innodb-vs-myisam-vs-falcon-benchmarks-part-1/ , comparing the two storage engines, and the results were pretty surprising to me.

It ultimately comes down to your individual usage patterns. Using a database abstraction layer will allow you to test your application against different databases so you can see how your application performs first hand.

Re:Search News YC (unofficial) on Saturday March 17, 2007 @04:52PM (#4782)
I wrote this because I wanted to look for some old articles which were no longer listed. I started crawling News YC over night at a slow rate, and it is still going, so many of the latest links and comments are not indexed yet.

I threw the code together, so feel free to report any bugs you encounter. However, I won't have time to touch this for the next few days.

I imagine at some time News YC will have a search feature implemented (it may even be today with all the recent changes), so Paul, let me know if you want this removed.

I had been using Komodo for the last few months which is a nice IDE, but this looks promising.

I've tarballed the latest bundles from their repository and renamed all ":?*\\|" characters to DOS friendly characters, if you want to try out a bundle that isn't included with E. You can grab it from: http://www.bigheadlabs.com/~jason/Bundles.tar.gz

I'm not a fan of Mac OS X by any means, but I have to admit, the hardware is impressive. I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I'm hard pressed against picking one up because they aren't that much more expensive than the laptops that I am looking at.
