Out of curiosity, are there any general benchmarks available as to how this stacks up to something like nginx when it comes to static page serving?

While perhaps somewhat ironic, this is only because the person who wrote the text elected to self-post it to Reddit itself. If they had posted a link to a blog post or similar (which arguably is kind of what Reddit is for), this wouldn’t be

All I'm saying is that I don't think it's as simple as "you either have incentive or you don't", because if it was, then developers writing bad code that they themselves had to go back to wouldn't exist, b

> arent being paid for how clean it is To be fair, a lot of full-time developers in big companies also do not get paid for how clean the code is, because no one cares. I'd probably lean more towards personal character deciding this

To be honest I feel like most criticisms against any languages are bound to sooner or later be met with the response "well, this is how this language works, and if you don't like it pick another". If you criticize a weakly ty

Your example is not what the article is talking about, because it doesn’t change words in the middle of the quote. An example would be: > “[It’s] invaluable in [legalese]” —torstenvl The first part is a shortening/paraphrasing and c

Doesn’t help to know why it’s done if you think it’s wrong. Brackets are already used for non-destructive purposes and this example is destructive.

I agree wholeheartedly for the simple reason that the example in the article is destructive . It doesn’t only alter the quote, it reduces it. In my mind brackets, or sometimes parentheses, should only be used to add information to assist

Did you read the article? Because it’s not arguing this. Quite the opposite (the need to be clear about what was originally a part of the quote).

There are many online services like this one, but what makes any of them stand out is posterity. Most of them disappear within a year or two which makes them useless for a lot of use cases. My long-running favorite so far is telegra.ph, whi

Denigrating any subjective experience because it's "too direct" is bordering on passive aggressive. Every suggested edit you've made to the comment completely alters the meaning of the text: you're basically saying
