> Do svidaniya I wonder if using English letters to write Russian phrases is acceptable practice for native Russians. Does it sound respectful, neutral or like a mockery? I don't mean in context of that post, which obviously is respectful, but in general. Especially when unicode is a thing and you could just write до свидания

That depends on the person who is listening/reading.

Back when texting (SMS) was still a big thing, you had a choice to either write in English letters and enjoy 140 char limit per message or write in Cyrillic and have it reduced to 70 chars. Many were doing the former. I assume many other countries with non-latin alphabet had the same.

At the time time there was no commercial Nginx, only open source. Also, Apache was a huge pain to configure for anything other than configuring static files. Nginx config was a delight to deal with by comparison.
Yes - this. Building my first web site (we didn't call them apps back then) and wrangling with Apache and OpenSSL to enable encryption was ... not fun.
Can someone summarize what allowed nginx to surmount the C10K problem? Was it some clever trick or just good software design?
If memory serves me, nginx succeeded by relying on epoll primitives for handling many connections rather than spinning up a thread per request by default like apache did at the time. That was the big difference back then. These days I imagine Apache has adopted/honed these same techniques.

Flip note: the letters are not 'English', they are Latin (or Roman).

I had the same thought. I think it's more Slavic vs Germanic/Romantic. "sv", without a vowel, doesn't exist in any word I can think of. However, in Russian, consonant clusters like that are pretty common. See also, from the article, Sberbank. I'd bet there's plenty of examples in reverse too.
svelte is probably the most common english one
