The problem is Lenovo machines look and feel like PCs, and that's not a complement. I got the XPS specifically for the trackpad, its the only one around that I know of that handles…

I'm an idiot, this hadn't even occurred to me. Thanks

I moved to XPS 15 as my first non-Mac machine in over 10 years, and I must say I'm far from impressed by the build quality. These laptops are gorgeous new, but they are SO fragile.…

I think this has been the case for the 13" for some time, but at least the XPS 15 9550 I have does not suffer from it

They've all had this almost since basically prehistory (e.g. mod_proxy_lb). The process management bit not so much, but having a web server manage app server processes, that's an a…

Hmm, this is true. Another way to think about it perhaps is that, I don't think any race can be avoided just by slowing things down somehow, the rules of the game are only slightly…

I remember this :) scgi, FastCGI, uwsgi, probably gunicorn has its own too.. never quite understood the obsession with inventing mini protocols once you have a persistent server pr…
