Apache TS is a caching proxy server. It's more similar to varnish than nginx (you can use nginx as a caching proxy if you want, of course).

I never use it, but from what I heard, it performs & scale really well too.

Maybe, just maybe, someday basho will open the source for RiakTS, like what they did for RiakCS (Riak S2). Well, I certainly hope so :)

> Application servers are very important, perhaps too important to be tied to a commercial entity.

I think exactly the opposite. I think apps servers are too important to be left without financial support.

Remember when Zed Shaw abandoned his great work on mongrel? I don't think he'd do the same if he had thousands of paying users, and maybe we'd still use (maintained and improved) mongrel today.

As a happy and satisfied Passenger Enterprise user, I'd say that Passenger does deserve a better attention from ruby community. Just because it's (too) easy to use, doesn't mean it can't perform well.

We still use version 4 and benchmark it with unicorn and the likes, and we found no noticeable different on performance, except the fact that it's easier to configure and manage.

in my case, i need to do

  rvm install ruby-2.0.0-preview1 --verify-downloads 1

for me, passenger is much easier to setup than unicorn etc... the only thing i miss compared to unicorn is preload_app, which in my understanding will be addressed via the rolling restart feature.

rolling restart is the killer for me... this is the only feature i miss from passenger compared with unicorn.

definitelly waiting for this.

can you give us the info about the pricing scheme? how much the passenger enterprise will cost?

cmiiw, but imho play is too similar with others web framework, like rails. i'd prefer scala community to push lift instead. lift has some great ideas, and has many things to improve.

what zed said about him is not absolutely wrong http://oppugn.us/posts/1276150607.html

halo, from Jakarta

Anyone has a list of Simon Peyton Jones' talks? I find his talks are really helpful.

I've learned not to use rails asset pipeline. Jammit & barista work well for me.

I feel the pain. Now I use arch linux with xmonad.

Do you consider Indonesia as an option? There's a high demand of ruby programmers in Indonesia right now.

We need something like this with emacs / vim interface

this seems like a better ranking

well, $50 is a real money for a third world startup like us :D

oh boy,

Have been a very loyal user of pivotal tracker, I have 11 projects with 12 collaborators. The smallest plan I could choose is $50 per month. That was shocking me a bit, before I knew I can archive my old projects :P

  We (well. back then it was just me) began doing this back in 2004.
  Fast forward 8 years.

well... uhm... it's still 2010 isn't it?

I'm okay with Debian packages, unless someone include locusts as dependency http://xkcd.com/797/

Hey...

got it running on my linux (with wine)

pretty slick... and yes, as a long time vim user, I think the feature will be very useful. although I don't think it's a macro replacement, macro still better for some use case. vim has visual block selection that can do similar thing, but not as powerful as this multicursor thing.

is it just coincidence that this release was on whyday? http://whyday.org/

  This is a severe issue.  Please fix this.

wow, is she working on some opensource project too?? or just a funny hoax...

not in my firefox :(

well, I haven't really thought about it, but, yes, textarea is pretty ugly. and try to make it better (with weird wysiwyg javascript libs) can end up worse. hail _why.

actually, I love your writing style

Someone really tried to add numbers with jQuery... or something like that... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2520593/jquery-adding-one...

I think there are lots and lots of companies can't run smoothly without GitHub anymore.. Mine is one of those...

so, what's the conclusion? really?

yes dude, but how many technical writer uses vim as their editor?
