Very true on the signatures. Using multiple sites isn't necessary though, imho.

The caching mirror configuration achieves nearly the same thing. In the past, people have wanted to run their own mirrors that we directed people to, but that's got reliability and security issues.

I'll put that on my todo list.

Thanks! I'll definitely keep you in mind as we're (finally) getting around to setting up correctly.

Thanks! I'll bring it up with the team.

It's been discussed many times before, yes. Rubygems usage pattern by our users make any kind of mirror delay unacceptable. We currently run a number of mirrors, configured as caching proxies. I want to get us going on a CDN like Fastl

A very good question. I'll see about crunching some of the logs to break it down by subnet.

I thought I'd answer some of your questions, as the person that pays the bill. 1. This can be cheaper on AWS. We've been meaning to move to reserve instances, paying a year at a time, for a while and simply haven't done it ye

Person who pays the bill here. Latency does matter and we're paying an additional $1.5k new in Feb to improve european latency. RubyCentral can afford to spend the money to improve latency issues, so we do!

Ordering is basically an unspecified behavior in C. An optimizers best friend is the ability to reorder, perform CSE, etc. C and C++ are specified as the behavior of a straight-line sequence of code run in isolation. Basically, any concurre

It was presented at a LA techweek, so I assume it's supposed to be real.

RubySpec is a huge success in the Ruby community amongst implementations, I'd hardly call EY ending sponsorship a blemish for RubySpec.

No? I don't know what your referencing.

Why would that be recipe for disaster? What do you think would happen?

Yeah, you can certainly run puma in the same operational mode as unicorn with clustering. But what I'd suggest is that you do instead is creating 1.5 as many workers has you have cores in your machine and perhaps 8 threads per worker.

Redirects are new, so probably.

Some great points about the tooling, especially the control server. For 2.3, the control server is going to get some much needed needed love that should hopefully address major issues. A couple of notes: Puma has a dynamic pool but it'

Because of the nature of Heroku (and thus EC2) there will always be unknown and random latency associated with shared nodes and hidden network utilization. What's important is that you did all the tests on heroku and gave enough of a w

It's disappointing to see this show up on HN without contact myself or the other rubygems.org admins. We've put rubygems.org into maintenance mode until the issue is fixed.

Vince has a really good 401k plan, despite his scruff look. He's going to be sipping drinks on a Caribbean beach before we know it!

The lineup was all invited speakers and there wasn't any diversity among those speakers, that's a bit of a difference between doing a CFP with regard to how people will see diversity at the conference.

You can actually cause a block to return control to it's invoker (the equiv of return in JS) by using the 'next' keyword.

What benefits does em-syncrony give you that Fibur doesn't?

It's being worked on right now and the infrastructure for it already in place. It's a goal.

Not sure what you mean by Marshal having implementation details in the bitstream, it doesn't. Marshal has been reimplemented in many different implementations just fine. As for why not JSON, because there is no JSON parser as part of the st

I don't know what the specific issue with pickle is, but ruby's Marshal format is pretty bulletproof at this point. It is a data only format with pretty strict verification of the stream as it builds the object tree. Also, Marshal doesn't a
