   A similar question was asked in another thread [1], and I'll repeat that answer: Just about anything on the JVM (Dropwizard, Play, Finagle, Scalatra, Rest-Express, Rest-Easy, Compojure, Unfiltered, Jersey, Vert.x, Spark), Go (Gorilla,

   I applaud Disqus for scaling Django to this tier of sustained load. I applaud them for sharing a clearly-written and approachable explanation of how that was achieved. I also applaud them for their product in general. I think Disqus is a

   No, not on screen clarity (though color accuracy competitiveness is still uncertain). I would personally prefer a 250+ DPI display. But retiring the abomination known as "1366x768" is long overdue. So as you say, the progressio

   As a Surface Pro owner [1], I like: * Surface 2 loses the low-density screen. I enjoy that low-density has been deprecated. * The names are right. Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2. No "Surface with Windows RT 8.1" nonsense. * Haswel

   Sure. There are exceptions to every rule. Web application performance will have its exceptional cases. But in general, I find Java web application when modestly-well architected, will respond in low tens of milliseconds--and in many cases

   Perhaps the two go hand in hand. I say evidence suggests that is not only plausible but perhaps common. Something is indeed wrong. We tolerate servers responding to trivial requests in hundreds of milliseconds (sometimes even greater than

   I'm not talking about a client-side performance issue. Those are tangential matters. We should all endeavor to comply with best practices for delivery of static assets to improve client-side performance including minification, strate

   TylerE is correct. Each application is its own unique snowflake, admittedly, but I encourage web developers to profile their applications to understand where server time is actually consumed. Furthermore, I implore you to realize that time

    I only skimmed this, so I apologize if my sense of it is woefully off mark. I just wanted to say that my fleeting thought was that this reads like one of those odd reports from wealthy fringe tourists who have paid the North Korean regime t

    I assume you mean battle-tested from a security standpoint. I suppose you'd need to make that judgment call yourself. In my opinion, many of the options I listed have seen sufficient production usage that I consider them roughly as se

    In terms of CRI, I have not yet found a line of LED bulbs that can accomplish the same color accuracy I've come to enjoy from my high-CRI fluorescent bulbs. CREE and SORAA are among the best, as far as I can tell. But I am a layperso

    Interesting that you should point this out because I converted my home to full ~5000K high-CRI fluorescent in 2003 and now ten years later, I am about a third of the way through replacing all fluorescent bulbs in my household with ~5000K LE
