I've never realized there was a .org domain before. Thought something weird happened because I was logged in this site and when I tried to vote in your link I couldn't!
In my experience people have all kinds of expectations, regardless of wether you charge them or not. And billing shows them your time is as valuable as theirs. On the other hand, if you offer your time for free, people will tend to load you with as much work as possible because, hey, you're free; and you have no way to leverage how much you're willing to do.
Please don't work for free. Offer an awesome discount or accept something instead of money (a computer, a telephone, anything), but don't offer your services for free. Establish, from the very beginning, that your services are valuable.
This seems like a very good approach. I've heard good things about these techniques, although I couldn't try them myself yet. The comments remark that this method may only work with Western languages, which share a common alphabet and have similar roots.
Wouldn't uploading their static assets to Amazon's S3 or something like that easy the burden on their servers? Wouldn't the extra cost of a service like that aliviate the load on their backend, and thus, save them more resources?
I always thought that was the most compelling feature of AWS S3, besides the "unlimited storage".
Current PHP is 5.4. Did you perform any test or benchmark with the new version? Do you gain anything from it? By the way, your project looks very interesting!
What's your experience with LXDE and multimonitor setup? I have some issues with ARandR, it doesn't remember the configuration; and I "fixed" it with a little bash script that configures xrandr.
He pointed out the gym workouts are very intensive. And I agree with the advice from experience; I have a couple of friends who are really good swimmers and they told me their bodies respond better to short training sessions.
Maybe give it a try for six weeks and then compare the results.
I complete agree with you, as I had the same experience with my family. My parents feel much more confortable having the icons of the couple of apps they use everyday right in front of their eyes; and everything else hidden, but still available.
I downloaded the app but didn't register. Any chance you can put the map you show on your web page in the app? So at least I can see that without registering?
Can you elaborate a little more on the reverse proxy tip? Why the double nginx, varnish in-the-middle approach? I'm not familiar with this technique. The rest of your comment is really good.
Please don't read just the selected answer, because he got the optimizations wrong. Bit shifting operations are always faster than multiplications (as the guy with the second most voted answer explains).
You can start a project based on RoR to highlight those small projects on Github. I don't know what metric could be useful to find the interesting ones though.
I understand you completely, so nowadays I try reading the second and third comments before leaving. Sometimes the very good comments end up buried in a mess; we might need a way to highlight those with a lot of votes somehow.
