> yes, all important things for those of you that speak Spanish or Portuguese What do they mean by that?

>Not only have we increased performance for everyone, getting to what is important is now super quick with Todos

todos means all/everything in Spanish and Portuguese.

It's a Spanish/English pun.

Todos means "all" in Spanish, so "all important things"

But also Todos as in multiple Todo items.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Use explore to search for interesting projects (and the people that have them in their namespace): https://gitlab.com/explore Press `s` to search for anything. However we only support search for people in places where you immediately need them, like when adding to a project. I created a feature proposal to also search through people: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13672

Ok. I followed the Explore link, but I cannot find the search field on that page. It seems to only allow me to browse by trending/most-stars/all. Hitting 's' key on my keyboard doesn't seem to change the page in any way. Am I missing the search field? (Note, this is using Firefox/Iceweasel 44.0.)

I think you must be logged in to see the complete UI (with search field)

Their performance graph shows response timings up to 25 seconds [1]. GitHub's mean web response time goes up to 200 milliseconds. The difference is two orders of magnitude. Is GitLab really that much slower?!

I imagine the fact that not everybody cares about the length of lines is a factor. I keep hearing people complain about various wide articles, but I've never noticed any problems reading such content myself. Thus having some small max-width definitely isn't a universal requirement.

I'm Brazilian and needed a few seconds to understand what they meant. I kept reading it like to-do(s). In the end they're just playing with the word: https://translate.google.com/#pt/en/todos

Thank you for making me click. That's such a bad pun.

(I'm Brazilian too)

It is extremely slow. We tried it on a 1go droplet and it felt slow with 2 users but can't beat that £0 price.

Uh oh, here comes the "max-width = readability" cargo cult.

That's the 95th percentile, not the mean. This means that 95% of all transactions completed _within_ the time, with only 5% exceeding it. Right now our 95th percentile hovers between 1.5 and 2 seconds, the mean hovers between 500 and 700 ms.
