- joestump, on 01/30/2009, -1/+29The joke inside of Digg's development is that, since Andrei's title is "Open Source Fellow", all of our gripes about FOSS can and should be fixed by him. Firefox using up to much memory? Andrei! Fix it! Adium buggy? Andrei! Fix it!
- andreiz, on 01/30/2009, -1/+28Joe, I'll fix it as soon as you point me to the exact line in the source code that's broken. :)
- brainnovate, on 01/30/2009, -1/+27This is huge. Congrats to the entire Digg team and especially Andrei. Great to see you guys contributing back!
- dfltr, on 01/30/2009, -1/+17I may not write much PHP around here, but I _do_ have problems with not having a sandwich. I've heard that Facebook and Yahoo maintain their own sandwiches, and aren't going to be making them publicly available anytime soon.
Can we get Andrei on that ASAP? ;) - sfrench, on 01/30/2009, -0/+101) "I may not write much PHP around here" - Thank you.
2) I'd like a sammich too - brainnovate, on 01/30/2009, -2/+8LOL @Fix my Firefox! I have switched to Safari for most of my browsing cause its soo bad.
- kutsal, on 01/31/2009, -0/+2Did anybody else notice how Firefox allocated 200+ mb of memory while viewing the php_memcached.c on github.com? (And froze for a minute while deallocating all that memory when you try to close the tab?...)
[Disclaimer: Not trying to bash Firefox or anything. Just found it weird that a 500kb page explodes into 200+mb allocated memory...] - markstory, on 02/02/2009, -0/+2In any case a big thanks for all the work andreiz, and thanks to Digg for releasing this code, unlike others who have done similar work.
- oorza, on 01/31/2009, -0/+2As a budding PHP/MySQL/memcache developer (maintain a private community online), I've often been tempted to switch to a different language because of the massive boat of fail that PHP-memcache is. And despite facebook releasing (some of) their internal memcached modifications, the daemon is still a lot less useful than it could be. I'm reading through the source now, in lieu of the lack of documentation, and it looks to be miles ahead of what was previously there.
Great work! - andreiz, on 01/31/2009, -0/+2The documentation should be ready in a couple of days. Keep checking http://docs.php.net/memcached
- runep, on 01/31/2009, -0/+1Yes, good work and thanks for doing the right thing and releasing it.
- genericdigger, on 01/31/2009, -0/+1I wish I understood more of that article... sounds cool though!
- MAdaXe42, on 02/06/2009, -0/+1Andrei - great stuff - have just implemented this on our eCommerce platform, and it's immediately solved the issues we were experiencing with memcached quietly going away and returning false on critical keys.
One thing you've missed - you don't have the getStats method in your memcached-api.php file - no biggie, but had to grep through the c to find out what it was called! - merreborn, on 01/31/2009, -0/+1I'll definitely give it a shot...
As soon as digg announces they've been using it in production. - hendzen, on 01/31/2009, -0/+1I hope that the documentation is written ASAP so that non-experts can use this.
- nathansmith22, on 02/06/2009, -0/+0Sweet! Can't wait to try this out...
- Angelinakinsler, on 01/31/2009, -0/+0cool
- inactive, on 01/31/2009, -1/+1500kb page + extensions + theme + cached previous contents + tabs + XUL + algorithmic fetching and caching of possibly wanted content, you mean.
- headzoo, on 01/30/2009, -8/+3Two months? Even BenRT could code this.
