I think the complaint is just that the approach is in no way as novel as you make it seem. It can and has been implemented with Varnish and a few lines of VCL (with support of the app as well, of course). What is "pure varnish" an

I'm not sure whether I would call "munging the cookie header with regexps" "cookie handling" ;).

Fragment caching of non-anonymous things on a cache is nothing new. Varnish supports it with ESI, other caches support that with other strategies. I've successfully build SPAs using that strategy. It's basically Rails russian doll

You will probably have to write a VCL plugin if you want to parse the cookie, but that's not a huge hassle.

Ah, okay, excitement, I can agree with.

I don't see the problem? There's just no one willing to pay the premium to fly at top speed. There were faster in that time, but they all went out of business.

No, the reason is "security considerations" impacting locality. The main point is locality.

Could you please explain the (multiple) downvotes? Anything factually incorrect? Any obviously wrong conclusions? For those wondering, I quote the copyright release document: > Because the SQLite software found at http://www.s

Considering that SQLite is licensed public domain with the express permission of others selling modifications of it without restrictions (even without acknowledging the original authors), I'd be surprised they mind.

You, my friend, are one of the reasons why we programmers have such a bad reputation with "normal" people. Because first, we build those things and then we shame them for using them and having expectations.

Some people decided to spend their christmas gaming with other people. That is a valid wish and an enjoyable group activity. And they were obviously "ruined". How would you feel if you went to an amusement park with your family an

Both brew and macports provide that nowadays. I still see an advantage in using a package manager that is used for a full distro, allowing for easier management of packages. I am aware that this benefit might never materialize, but it'

You are aware that ADD is, at the current state of science, considered a difference within the brain chemistry and no "reaction" to something? You don't "develop" ADD. One requirement to diagnose ADD in high age is

I just listened to it and it is full of good quotes, my favourite: "Discussions without good definitions are doomed to fail." (about the upcoming NoSQL dabate). I feel that's still ringing true in that sector.

Yes, we are. Thanks for the writeup. Probably the biggest issue for the service will be to make sure that licensing is ensured. (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8802833 )

I think we are arguing the same thing: It's the content owners decision, not Googles. Considering that most (all?) fonts on Google Fonts are open (most I checked use SIL or Apache as license), downloading is most likely allowed.

No tracking, easier development when without internet, less external dependencies. You can, for example, use Google with a local fallback, for better reliability. (their CDN will fail at some time)

Google Fonts follows the Google API TOS. As far as I read it: no, as long as there aren't any further restrictions on the font by third parties. > d. Data Portability > Google supports data portability. For as long as you use or

I may read it wrong, but that's quite an insult for people that do _actually_ have an attention deficit disorder.

This is also not ADD. ADD is, among a few other things, a deficiency to guide ones concentration. Hyperfocus and repeated Hyperfocus for things you like is actually a sign of ADD. ADD people can very well do things they enjoy repeatedly and

That really depends on your field of work. For web developers, maybe not, for admins: yes. Also, they might not be the thing people hear about first, but they are still heavily driving actual adoption. (FWIW: I'm chair member of the la

They are only garbage collected if they were introduced at runtime and there is no reference to them anymore. (detailed explanations can be found in the presentation linked in the announcement) This allows you to symbolize external hash key

Also, if you develop for multiple clients, projects don't bleed into each other. "Well, client X still uses PG 9.1, but I accidentally used a 9.3 feature, because thats what client Y uses."
