There's not doubt it is readable (I'm quite a fan of the language too) - the problem is with writing it as a novice. This post highlights some of the issues with magic and whitespace: http://meta.discourse.org/t/is-it-better-for-discourse-

As pkulak said, Nginx didn't understand the Upgrade header so you couldn't proxy http and ws connections on the same port. To get around that you had to add either another reverse proxy that did offload ws:// connections or run them on sepa

There was two main options 1. Run nginx with something like HAProxy/Varnish infront 2. Run nginx alone with the app server on port 80/443 and the websocket server running on a special port. The app was then proxyed using the built in http_p

Websockets run on port 80 natively. It's all done through a HTTP Upgrade header to turn the connection into a websocket. Up until this release, anyone running both HTTP and WebSockets behind nginx has had to run them on separate ports (i.e.

A few years ago I would have agreed, but I have several PHP daemons consuming messages from RabbitMQ and their uptime is in the range of months. Throw a little supervisord into the mix to keep an eye on things and you'd be surprised how far

They're starting to hit the law of large numbers. As @gruber pointed out, 3 years ago they were making $50 billion annually and they just announced they were making $54.5 billion in a _quarter_. You can't expect 20% increases every quarter

Looks like it is just doing a tag search for PSD, so many of those shots don't actually contain a free PSD to download. One option to reduce the noise might be to grep for URL's in the comment and attachment that point to downloadable files

It's a place for designers to show off their current work and projects by posting 400x300px shots. You can only post and comment however if you have been "drafted" (invited) by another player and those invites are pretty hard to come by - a

jQuery 1.9 and 2.0 will be API compatible - just use an IE conditional include to source the right version. Only downside is if you have a tight asset pipeline that minifies _everything_ and it causes 1 extra request.

On a security note - your application code should only trust those headers (X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-Ip, etc) for IP lookup if you control the load balancer and strip it from incoming requests. There is nothing to stop a malicious client add

The Formlabs project is unlike the other projects you have mentioned. Most hobbyist level 3D printers rely on extrusion (also known as fused deposition modeling) - heating up a spool of soft plastic (such as PLA) and extruding it out of a p

I am a little naive as to American legal process, but does Kickstarter enjoy any safe harbor provisions as a fund raising website? They are not the ones producing the 3D printer technology in question, only facilitating its funding. If they

Unfortunate timing indeed. To be fair, the final RC's for Symfony2 and ZF2 were announced last week on the 28th and 29th respectively, both with a note stating the final release would be this week. Today was the last chance to release witho

They use HAProxy for load balancing which doesn't natively support SSL termination (yet...). There's probably an extra layer in there to handle that (pound/nginx maybe?) which would bump up the latency.
