No, he's referring to the soft reload added in 1.5, which the article you linked addresses under "Just Reload HAProxy." As the article points out, it's not quite zero-downtime, but pretty close.

A program as a DAG.... Whoa. That's an interesting concept to try to wrap your mind around.

How would that work? My understanding of async is that it's a way of interacting with IO. So how would the examples you give (additional, while loops) behave asynchronously, since they don't involve IO? (Except for maybe memory

I think it's a combination of impracticality and lack of motivation that will keep the stdlib largely blocking. * File IO (`open()`) will remain blocking because there's no practical way to implement it in asyncio. This isn'

Heartily agree with this. I used ElasticSearch on a project a month or so ago with high expectations from the buzz about it on the internet. What I got instead was hours of scouring ill-written and terse documentation and a nested JSON qu

I can't imagine they care much. Snowball's value doesn't come from renting out these devices, it comes from companies dumping their data into AWS. If they lose a few devices they'll make it back in a couple months of S
