   Apple just told w3c that beforeinstallprompt is bad and they will not implement it. Firefox won't too. So I really don't know what is going to happen going forward...

   I only use Twitter via their PWA installed on my phone. Also Discourse (where I work) is PWA compatible out of the box, so you can read previously visited topics offline, and install to browse in full screen.

   One of our bottlenecks was really big keys (>1MB) being written and read too often and effectively stealing all the CPU time. That was fixed in the app by reducing the number of operations + compression. Threaded IO will give us a little

   Can't wait for Threaded I/O as our app main bottleneck in some deployments was Redis.

   Can't wait for Mozilla to back a stable, native desktop client into a daily driver state so we can finally ditch Mattermost at work.

   With the original open sourcing license of nginx in doubt, it is prudent for open source projects to look into alternatives?

    Damn this is a really expensive alternative to Algolia.

    Does the software runs well under heavy CGNAT? Because that is where we are going if everyone follows you.

    If every engineer took the extra 10 minutes to enable IPv6 for their AWS services we would have a much better availability. I believe it's less than 50 lines of Terraform code to enable it for the standard Application Load Balancer use

    Redis unstable introduced threaded IO, but it's still not as fast in my benchmarks.

    For some apps, where you can easily scale app servers horizontally and be stuck in a single redis (because redis cluster mode is not well supported by drivers, or because it can't access some atomic LUA operations) you can get redis to

    We are using it at Discourse (thanks to a PR from Lefthook team) and I love it. The fact that it is zero setup for every new contributor is a killer feature IMO.

    I just created a proposal to support lottie based animated stickers in Discourse two days ago, and this looks very useful to get more performance when playing those using the new Skottie module. Very cool! https://meta.discourse.

    The rumors say that a lot of engineers where moved from the two last GPU archs (4xx, 5xx, Vega) so they could put most workforce behind Navi. I'm hopeful for a good card that I can run natively on Linux.
