I'm happy to see this. nginx itself is excellent software, I'll be happy to use similar tech for the application server as well (instead of uwsgi). There are a couple of options I'd like to see added to the Python configurati

It would be nice if you could sign the tarball with the binary. I see the tag is already signed so hopefully it's not much trouble: https://wiki.debian.org/Creating%20signed%20GitHub%20release...

All of the apps fail this test: 1. Go to main page. 2. Enter a long comments section. 3. Scroll down. 4. Hit back (back to main page again). 5. Hit forward (back to comments section). Expected: Scroll position is restored. Actual: Scroll po

Has anyone suggested some sort of postfix macro syntax? I don't have one in mind, but perhaps there is some nice looking, viable one. That might have been a more general solution than a new operator.

One example: www.dropboxlocalhost.com -> 127.0.0.1 I don't know if dropbox are still using that in their client though.

Heh, a long time ago I wrote a script using BeautifulSoup which given an ORA-XXX would return a detailed explanation. Amazingly, it still works: https://gist.github.com/bluetech/f9aa4ede5a25c765c6e6 (don't hold me

Off topic, but: I thought in rust they like to statically link everything. So how does that go with the LGPL license you chose?

Pre-compressing is possible, but why shouldn't the http server do it for you? The server can cache the compressed files in memory and/or disk as it sees fit (although gzip was pretty cheap last time I checked). It can also deal wi

I don't really understand what's the point of tracking the sources when copying files? A security policy which restricts my actions over an object I had copied (with permissions to do so) seems a bit strange to me. But the slides

Right, void* is used quite a lot for "generic" data structures. But I'm not sure that's what he meant. The reason I said "only" was that from my own experience, most C data structures are tailored for a specifi

Why do you say C has no type safety? Only way around the type system is void , explicit casts and I guess unions. It admittedly doesn't have a very advanced type system, that's true.

Ah, the 'git checkout -p' is great. I always did 'git stash -p; git stash drop' for that. Putting this under 'checkout' is completely non-obvious.

Feels like the developers said, "hi, we're starting to get too many of those pesky users, let's make each of them run a bunch of obscure commands just to get started". Well, I'm not being fair here, the commands are
