Good call. I was aware of that but should call it out in the post. Thanks!

ejfinneranon Show HN: Doomguy as a Service

The idea was that the image URL could just be a number between 0 and 100 and the app would handle translating that to 1 of 5 possible images.

If I just served a file for every possible number, the browser would have to potentially download 20x the data.

ejfinneranon Puma: A Ruby Web Server Built For Concurrency

My understanding based on a presentation from Dr. Nic is that Puma is a straight fork of Mongrel since Mongrel had threading from the beginning but it is essentially unsupported now.

This commit lends to that story as well: https://github.com/evanphx/puma/commit/1888887d8ff8fdf4954c3...

I agree though, would be nice to mention its heritage in the read me.
