You could also hardlink them.

> Browsers (by default) allow third-party cookies

Internet Explorer and Safari do not. If you have Flash installed, supercookies can still be used anyways.

nginx will be a huge improvement in terms of resource usage. :-)

The way we use health insurance nowadays is akin to using your car insurance for oil changes and checkups.

Awesome, I'll look into this, too. :D

I use nginx because it consumes a fraction of the resources that Apache does (even when doing nothing but serve static files).

Avoiding local slang when writing is also "ill", my brother.

Does anyone have any suggestions for beginner Haskell projects?

I've read through some Haskell material before and tried following tutorials, but I always end up dropping it because I can't think of anything for which I would use it.

I have no problem with functional and functional-esque programming (Erlang, Common Lisp, etc.), but I just can't come up with anything to do in Haskell. :(

EDIT:

Thanks for the great suggestions, everyone! I think I'll do some crpyo-based maths work in Haskell since that is what holds my interest at the moment. :-)

No, this is absolutely not the case.

There are plenty of large sites e.g., yellowpages.com and urbandictionary.com (which switched from PHP) which are built using Rails.

Even if you have scaling problems that are around that of, say, Twitter, your application code still isn't your bottleneck; talking to your database is. No amount of framework (or lack thereof, as you propose/promote) will save you from the ramifications of poorly-constructed SQL.

I am, too, and I also suffer from a similar situation. :-)

This comment is posted every time someone does this, but nothing ever happens about it. :-/

More redirection spam by tsecuritytimes that leads to another site that opens a popunder advertisement? Isn't this against the HN rules?
