| nbroyal on Aug 7, 2009 | parent | context | favorite | on: Signs that you're a bad programmer Google cache for those who hit the "pageview limit exceeded" nonsense: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=clnk... |
 | mojaam on Aug 7, 2009 | next [–] Never thought I'll see that on a google service. Thanks for the cache. |
| | Jebdm on Aug 7, 2009 | parent | next [–] It's fairly ironic--Google is restricting the page views (to limit bandwidth usage), but at that same time they're hosting a copy in cache of that same page, with no limits. |
| | CamperBob on Aug 7, 2009 | root | parent | next [–] No kidding. That's so moronically un-Google, it's got to be a bug rather than a genuine quota issue. Because otherwise, Google 2009 == GeoCities 1999, and that would be unthinkable. |
| | gojomo on Aug 7, 2009 | root | parent | next [–] I find "Google 2009 == GeoCities 1999" very thinkable, especially if tweaked a little to "Google Sites 2009 == GeoCities 1999". Empires rise and fall fast on the net. Google is now a mish-mash of offerings which get uneven attention from their internal talent. 'Sites' itself is a successor to the soon-to-be-shuttered Google Page Creator (which unlike Sites allowed custom CSS and JS). A few key people leave, a couple bad quarters -- 'Sites' could get the axe too. |
| | drusenko on Aug 7, 2009 | prev | next [–] wow, that's completely ridiculous. searching through their help center, they won't even tell you what the limit is, but it seems to be pretty low. just. wow. |
| | davidw on Aug 7, 2009 | parent | next [–] Reminiscent of Geocities, isn't it. |
| | wizard_2 on Aug 7, 2009 | parent | prev | next [–] This has been making the rounds on twitter and other places, I'm sure it's had a fair amount of load. |
| | CRASCH on Aug 7, 2009 | prev | next [–] I think he missed one. A bad programmer won't understand or take into consideration the limits of the target platform. A good example is posting an article to a host with limited bandwidth. |
| | sjf on Aug 7, 2009 | parent | next [–] That's a bit harsh, that's a distribution problem, not a development problem. It's been long time since I've used free hosting, is there provider that doesn't limit bandwidth? (This is just out of curiosity.) |
| | drusenko on Aug 7, 2009 | root | parent | next [–] We don't :) (Weebly) |
| | bartw on Aug 7, 2009 | root | parent | next [–] Not yet. |
| | drusenko on Aug 8, 2009 | root | parent | next [–] No. Down the line, maybe a cap on the very top end (tens of millions of pageviews per month) -- if that becomes a problem (it hasn't yet). But we have absolutely no problem serving high traffic sites (millions of pageviews per month) for free, it hardly costs us a thing. |
