Except if you account for the fact that some other UNIX-like OS do not use bash as /bin/sh. You could even say that using bash as /bin/sh "is specific to Linux." How to fix: /#!\/bin\/bash/s

Questions: 0. How important is simplicity (modularity) to the project? 1. Will Tox work for user "idontrungentoo"? Will it compile on Solaris, BSD, etc. 2. Will the GUI be optional? If not, why is it mandatory? 3. Can Tox work w

Sounds like mirroring and ftp servers (or even bittorrent) would work just fine for distributing copyright-cleared video. Indeed that's how I remember it being done before YouTube and Netflix existed. Today, with the explosion of onli

I don't measure latency as including rendering time. Maybe I'm not "rendering" anything except pure html. I measure HTTP latency as the time it takes to retrive the resources. Whatever happens after that is up to the us

"I actually don't think that's the case." Neither do I. I think people make honest mistakes. Alas, under pressure, people also try to cover them up. I forget where I read it but some insider in the intelligence communit

I wonder if header compression is primarily to allow for ubiquitous, large cookies. Cookies were originally and with few exceptions remain a hack to try to add state to transactions that were not intended to be stateful. If indeed the heade

Yes, a major appeal of pipelining to me is efficiency with respect to open connections. It's easier to monitor the progress of one connection sending multiple HTTP verbs than multiple connections each sending one verb. Whether multipl

Thanks for the reading material. You omitted the sentence before your excerpt where Mr. McManus suggests we move to a multiplexed pipelined protocol for HTTP. I'll go further. I say we need a lower level, large framed, multiplexed pro

I trust in theory this is true, but I've never personally observed this in practice. I guess SPDY fans' marketing of this "feature" would be more convincing if I could see a demonstration. I just don't see any notic

I choose HTTP/1.1 pipelining. Uncompressed headers are useful. Ordered records are returned (unlike SPDY), where "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" is the record separator. Been using this for a decade. Can't see the benefit of

That's a little scary. I would have figured smart programmers would know these things. Most of the case law that has shaped this area of jurisprudence involves obvious criminals, mainly those who would be prosecuted for illegal drug p
