A more sane approach would be to script nginx using lua and lua-resty-redis.


> It is similar to Arab countries

Egypt is an Arab country - the biggest and most influential Arab country, located in the center of the Arab world. Saying Egypt is similar to Arab countries is like saying France is similar to European countries.


I think what he meant is, Egypt is going to become muslim state like other arab countries, instead of Pakistan. It does not make sense to compare it with India since India is mix of lot of religions(Hindu, Xstianity, Budhism, Sikh, Islam, Jain) and has high tolerance for religion freedom.



Fabrice has contributed to opensource more than almost anybody here. Absolutely no shame if he prefer to keep the source closed this time.


I think perhaps you've missed the point of free and open source software.


"...of free and open source software."

Not everything you write has to be free and open source.


The actual device is safe. Only the provided cheap Chinese usb charger can catch fire.


The device was smouldering in the video. http://www.twitvid.com/UBBWC

The cheap charger may have sparked it, but it was the lack of current limiters or heat cutoffs in the device that appears to be the actual problem. Electrical inputs should be treated much like form inputs on a web page. Never trust them to be what you designed for.

Too bad whatblag.com is registered at Go Daddy, where the CEO participated in the shooting and killing of an elephant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Daddy#Animal_rights


I suppose you personally vet every company, and all senior executives that work for them, that you conduct business with?


If the whatblag owner did not know about the elephant shooting before, he probably does now.


Yes, now I know. I could've sworn my domain was registered with Media Temple, however. I transferred it 6 months ago. Taking care of that now.

At any rate, I'm sure we all understand that guilt by association is a gross logical fallacy, and that I in no way endorse the killing of elephants. This must be what it feels like to be a politician...


I was not blaming you at anything as I know most people are not aware of that incident. I transferred my Go Daddy domains as soon as I heard about it and so I thought you would probably like to do the same, considering the subject of your posting.


No kidding, especially given that this barely saw any coverage in the media - CNN, Huffington Post, feh. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/BUSINESS/04/01/godaddy.peta.prot..., http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/31/bob-parsons-godaddy...


I dunno, I'm pretty well-read but I'd never heard of this before this. Never appeared on my radar, I guess.


Do you eat meat?


Yes I do. Like most people I do have some moral issues about it but consider it as a necessary evil. I do object to hunting as a sport, especially when endangered species are involved.


A case might be made for a few ounces of fish oil being beneficial, but to call meat necessary is intentional blindness.

And eating it because you like it is about like shooting it because it'd look nice stuffed. Sport and vanity.


You are attempting to use "tu quoque", a rather silly logical fallacy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque


Technically, any fallacy is silly.

But no, I wasn't attempting to use a fallacy in support of killing elephants. I was flat-out pointing out that his stance on some killing is hypocritical.

I agree that shooting the elephant was a dick move. I'd just go so far as to extend that to chickens.


I agree that killing for sport and eating meat are both unnecessary, do harm healthwise on an individual and social scale, and produce much suffering in the world.


PHP, rails and node.js support is planed - would be interesting.

What are people using today to server debugging within the browser? I know there are the django debug toolbar and Rack::Bug . Anything similar for node.js ?


Anybody knows if AppHarbor is using Windows based servers or Linux+Mono?


The application and build servers are Windows based
