Great comments. As co-creator of TinyPNG and TinyJPG I agree with you mostly; re-encoding images is not ideal. But it works for many people because a (too high quality) JPEG file is what they have. There are going to be compression artefact

How about crowdsourcing?

Agreed; for this reason fixed headers annoy to no end. I'd be so relieved if this trend stops.

Ireland was probably chosen because of low corporate tax rates. This might have been more important when the first location was chosen than it is now, and latencies in Europe are mostly pretty minimal anyway.

QUERY_STRING, REQUEST_URI and others are set according to the HTTP request in my environment. Could be Rack/Rails – I haven't checked yet. Edit: Oh, I see now – you're right: they don't actually change on each request.

Ah yes, I see now. Environment variables are set based on the request. They seem similar to CGI – we're in trouble. Is this necessary for any processing by Passenger or the web application, or is just for legacy compatibility? Can the

How is Passenger affected? If there is an attack vector using Passenger I'm going to be even more worried than I already was.

Ironically, on OS X Yosemite their underlines look worse than the default OS X rendering. OS X now correctly leaves gaps in underlines around letter descenders [1], and Medium's CSS underline style breaks that. [1]: Example: http:&#x2

Actually, it's still quite nice if the hostname has no relation to the server's purpose – the functional name can then outlive the hostname if you throw away and recreate VMs regularly.

The graphs of Gem distribution and Vulnerability distribution are utter nonsense. You can't just measure your mean and standard deviation and expect a bell curve that fits those two parameters to correspond to your distribution. Espec

So only a little over 12% is still vulnerable (and possibly ~30% not using OpenSSL). And that number is still shrinking quickly. For example: Netflix, Yahoo, NASA and OKCupid have updated in the mean time.

As disk sizes started to increase, the difference started to matter more and more. 1KiB is only 2.4% more than 1KB, but 1TiB is 10% more than 1TB. I think it makes sense that this didn't become significant until disk sizes started reac
