ochekurishvili··on Hack: a new programming language for HHVM
I use curl_multi_* functions.
ochekurishvili··on Hack: a new programming language for HHVM
I'm running multithreaded background processes in PHP pretty successfully. I did not see (and still do not see) a reason why I should have chosen another "proper" language for it.

P.S. The vast majority of arguments against PHP here leads me to conclusion that most of (not all) debaters don't understand how PHP works well enough.

ochekurishvili··on Open source has won the battle but is losing the war
Just remembered, read it somewhere: "Open source, as rock'n'roll, will never die."

Truism. I believe in it.

ochekurishvili··on NBC Story about Hacking at Sochi is 100% Fraudulent
The very first Google search result on Russian passports in the province of South Ossetia: http://www.loc.gov/law/help/russian-georgia-war.php

We can argue on details endlessly and it's against my intention. The case is complicated indeed.

To keep it simple: Russia has been "operating" in this region for a long time and it's intention has always been to control Caucasus. It still continues such politics.

Who are we lying to? :) It's Russia acting by the hands of Ossetian and other north Caucasian separatists.

Georgian and Ossetians (and many other nations too) have been living in peace for centuries before Russian rule. Russia is the only one to blame in provocating every single conflict in Caucasus (except several minor issues).

Agree, Georgia can't be proud of acting organized later, but that's not the point here.

If I shoot stones at your house and broke your windows every night, would you finally run after me to fight?

Yes, Georgian. And as I guess you are Russian.

I have nothing against Russian people, actually our nations had a deep relationships for centuries, But I'm really pity for you... Putin makes you to live in dictatorship, withing unfairness, Vors and I can imagine how much that sucks in 2014.

To help you have a better understanding of the conflict let me invite you in Georgia, you'll be my guest. I'll guide you through the places where all happened (OFC Georgian controlled ones) and show you facts of Russias' wrong reaction. I'm inviting you, seriously, no joking :) Let me know if you're interested.

Your argument is pointless since there was no such thing as "beating neighbors" by Georgian side.

The only one who was "bearing" the nerves was Russia and here's why: They were bombing Georgian controlled side by the hands of Ossetian separatists for a long, as soon as Georgia decided to end it and react correctly (by correctly I mean taking control over South Osetia, which in fact is withing the borders of Georgia) and that's were Russia decided to defend its "friends". Read my comments above on Russian passports.

ochekurishvili··on NBC Story about Hacking at Sochi is 100% Fraudulent
Yes, I used a wrong term. Sorry. Anyway there was no need to spread conflict in the whole country.

But still, there was an annexation too, Russia took this part of the Georgian controlled lands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhalgori_Municipality

ochekurishvili··on NBC Story about Hacking at Sochi is 100% Fraudulent
Not correct.

Russia has been deploying Russian passports in the conflict zone for two decades, by force... So the reason "defend our citizens, friends" was a "Putin-made". http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/georgia/265...

Many Ossetians headed south to the Georgian side as conflict began, before Russian troops took Tskinvali. Many of them now live in a refugee camps near Gori. http://www.demotix.com/news/77308/refugee-camp-gori-georgia#...

And there have been an ethnic cleansing of Georgians after Russian troops arrived: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing_of_Georgians_...

ochekurishvili··on NBC Story about Hacking at Sochi is 100% Fraudulent
No, Putin was like Michael Corleone on Olympics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CDlBLvc3YE

And Russian reaction was correct right? Ignore boundaries of sovereign state (Georgia), annex its' territories outside of conflict zone (Gori, Georgia) and all in order to "defend their friends".

Are you aware that Russia perfectly timed it's Kavkaz 2008 military training near the border of Georgian Region of South Osetia? Just several days earlier before conflict heated up.

And what Russia does when conflict begins? Forwards it's Kavkaz 2008 troops towards Georgia as soon as conflict begins. What a coincidence...

BTW, name South Ossetia was created (yes created) by USSR which aimed to take control over Caucasus, and Georgia was kind of too unified by that time, that was against Russian plans.

ochekurishvili··on KeePassX 2.0 Alpha 5 released
Absolutely agree. As much I love KeePassX much more I hate it's rigid UI.

Yes, there is a company operated rail link specially developed for manganese transportation to the nearest plant.

Note: I'm from Georgia.

ochekurishvili··on The big, ugly affiliate marketing scam
What about limiting affiliates with advertising a Kogan related keywords and even some traffic sources? I've seen such limitations for many of brands represented in the affiliate networks.

If managed properly affiliate marketing definitely works and yes, it's worth expanding to.

ochekurishvili··on Why Living in a City Makes You More Innovative
Nope. Solitude is "the #1 habit of highly creative people". http://zenhabits.net/creative-habit/

Big cities are full of noise and distractions.

RSS Feed for the Best submissions would be a nice addon.
ochekurishvili··on My company's first SaaS app. Thoughts?
Makes sense... As a customer I'd use PeterPings for boosting traffic in hope that it converts few sales time over time, but I wouldn't be relied on it.
ochekurishvili··on My company's first SaaS app. Thoughts?
Youngfook, congrats with launching another online venture. I'm your "follower" since the days of OpenSourceFood.

The most important question I raise with submission services (like your PeterPings and AppLaunch) is that followed traffic would not be targeted.

"Why A Link from TechCrunch Will Not Make You Rich" - this excellent article by Rob Walling better describes this issue: http://j.mp/VXJoDp

ochekurishvili··on Why is Belarus the only country where Opera is the most popular browser?
I can say that Opera has been the #1 browser in Georgia (Republic Of) for many years. Now it's either 2nd or 3rd, after Chrome and IE.

Many teens still prefer Opera for unknown reasons here.

ochekurishvili··on Waking up at 5am to code
With 7+ months of experience being an Early Bird I will definitely recommend it.

For me 1-2 hours of a fresh-brained morning work is much more productive than working whole night. I usually sleep between 11:30 and 06:30.

In general it depends on personality, some enjoy working at night and vice-versa.

ochekurishvili··on Visitor.js
Agree...

There's a free API for geolocation too:

Anyway this project has no future, sorry for that.

I don't man any kind of certification or tests... I just meant knowing English fluently.

ochekurishvili··on Ask HN: How does marriage affect the creation of a (successful) startup?
I don't remember where I read it but if fits your situation:

Startups are like roller-casters, it always requires your attention no matter in what stage you are. And you need a life!

This means that you have to balance personal life with startup.

Otherwise you have to be like Steve Jobs for whom business is a lifestyle.
