fmueller··on The Architecture of Open Source Applications: Nginx
If it's supposed to be pronounced "engine X" they probably could have named it "engineX". That's what you get for trying to be cool.
fmueller··on Happy Little Words – Analyzing the Bob Ross Twitch Chat
In the desktop version of twitch chat the deleted lines are crossed but visible. So I guess it's just some kind of markup which marks a line as deleted.
fmueller··on Firefox for iOS now available
Release early, release often.
fmueller··on Why too much choice is stressing us out
It's important to know that most people make this choice once in a lifetime. After that they'll buy the same product until they die. I'm pretty sure you'll buy Aquafresh from now on if you like it. So choice is difficult the first time but the next time it will be easy.

fmueller··on The Party Is Over for Amazon
How can $273 million in profit be a bad sign at all? Sometimes I don't get oeconomics.
fmueller··on Show HN: A Python Spider System with Web UI
This is not true, you can specify package directories in setup.py.

See https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/setupscript.html#listing...

fmueller··on Amazon Echo
It's interesting that so few people think this device is just bullshit and will annoy you, your family and your guests after like 5 minutes.

Even after watching the video for 10 seconds I cannot hear the word Alexa anymore.

fmueller··on France convicts Google Maps for unfair competition
Maybe naive thinking but you could let them sign a contract which doesn't let them sell google-maps in the future. If they don't sign you know what their intentions are...
