If you find yourself thinking of DD at any time while not actually reading a post of his on CP, I would suggest committing yourself voluntarily to a local asylum, and remaining there for the foreseeable future!

The story of a unique London Underground map[^]
The detail in the map is remarkable, informative and gave me a good laugh.

Started looking at WCF recently - I have a rule of thumb which states "if you have to mess around with config files to get a software system running then look for a different software system".
Unfortunately I had forgtten about that - which is why I started to look at WCF. I think now I will look elsewhere - 6 hours today of messing about with config files, all to no avail.

Everything you can do via configuration can also be hard coded into you application.
Except why would somebody want to hard code it, if can be configured? 
Have you already posted an interesting well framed question in one of the forums or the Q&A?
I've been busy today, so I've not been hanging out on CP much.
Cheers!

I did start to post an interesting well framed question but decided to have a rant instead 
I have spent all day looking at the various solutions to the problem I am having:
The remote server returned an unexpected response: (413) Request Entity Too Large
but I can't get any of them to work.

That's way more amusing anyhow, than answering questions or having a technical discussion.

That looks frighteningly familiar. It's been a while though, it must have been around October 2010 when we were pushing out a POC for a customer. Hmmmmm, ...
Let me poke around for a bit in that mushy mess that is my brain (hey it's almost weekend). May be something useful will pop up.

I have been poking around all day - hence the rant - but thanks, any help would be much appreciated.
If I had framed a question early on I might have gotten somewhere but after messing about all day with it any question I could have framed would have dripped with bile

Please explain; without argumentation the statement feels as if you're dismissing things merely based on complexity.

The problem there is that you're not configuring your application; you're configuring IIS.
I always host WCF in my own Window services and avoid that pile of nastiness.
And I write my own configuration files; I don't do it Microsoft's way.

Awesome, as usual.

The rackspace ad (above, in the CP banner) claims advantages of using SSD storage. Does this make sense for cloud servers

Rack mounted servers still need to access disk space and the faster the better.
|
|

Still don't get it : What matters is the user access time to the "cloud" server, which is by magnitude greater than the server disk space access time, so where is the benefit (from the user point of view) ?
Note: I might have a complete false image of how accessing remote data is working, so if this seems to be the case, feel free to send me to Google school first

There is still a difference in the access time between fixed hard disks and SSD. So, no matter what the "cloud access" time is, this difference is definitely going to add to the final equation.

"The Cloud" is not some mystical, magical fairyland where data with little wings flit around waiting to be accessed. It must exist in a physical form, at meatspace coordinates, and be connected to a physical network. Solid state drive technology is a good choice for that physical form. And even if your data is off holidaying on The Cloud, there is still a great deal of local storage that MUST occur, including the operating system, virtual memory, etc. Again, solid state drive technology is a good choice.

Shameel is right, but it's bad for the server as well: because a hard disk read is an physical process, the thread locks until it is complete, and no other threads can get accesses serviced until the HDD is finished. The use of an SSD means that one read doesn't have to block another (or at least not for so long) so the actual throughput of the server improves. Better server performance when loaded equals better user experience regardless of any cloud latency.

Ever noticed how the disk performance drops if you start e.g. copying multiple files at the same time?
if you have more (parallel) requests on the disk the access speed drops. if you have faster drive then the impact of such things gets reduced.
|
|

An end user accessing data from cloud storage may not see too much of a benefit, as you say, but a cloud based application (eg CodeProject Workspaces) that has the entire application, caching and database on hosted servers will always benefit from have its data storage on fast disks.
