I must say I really appreciate your hard work FooBarWidget. It seems, to me, that anytime something like this gets brought up, you've already addressed/fixed the problem or never even had it in the first place.

I've deployed a few large apps using Phusion Passenger, that years later are still running with incredible stability. Thank you!

Couldn't agree more. Sandi Metz has an excellent talk touching on this topic. Developers exaggerated willingness to keep things DRY and elaborates a bit on why: it's one of the easiest things for a not-so-experienced developer to identify and one of the easiest things to teach.

Edit: One of the best quotes from that talk is (paraphrased): "The wrong abstraction is a lot more expensive than duplicated code". https://youtu.be/OMPfEXIlTVE

"In a fourth embodiment of the invention, the service provider is a lender. When an individual applies for a loan, the lender examines the credit ratings of members of the individual's social network who are connected to the individual through authorized nodes. If the average credit rating of these members is at least a minimum credit score, the lender continues to process the loan application. Otherwise, the loan application is rejected. "

I really like that the Rails team is pretty good at doing regular releases. One noticeable thing though is that ActiveRecord, almost, always has more fixes than the other Action* gems combined, understandable since its the most complicated piece, but I can't help to think of Ernie Millers ActiveRecord talk a few years back. https://youtu.be/yuh9COzp5voA (A few of the things that he talks about are since then fixed..)

I've used CloudFlare in a number of projects, usually with great results. Though occasionally they have problems, but that's usually a local issue with one of their data centers.

One thing that would be awesome is if you could add a Google Analytics tracking code, so you could track how often their error page is shown.

Is there any build/install instructions? Want to play around :)

EDIT:

  git clone git@github.com:jeorgun/Vivaldi.git
  cd Vivaldi
  # if you don't have boost then run 
  brew install boost
  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake .. && make # cmake version 3 or greater is required

I'm using toggl.com to track spent time on various projects in school/work (you can structure your time tracking by project and client). Really simple and easy, while it gives you a really nice overview for how you've "performed". For me, it was enough seeing where time was spent...

This shows how far NSA is willing to go and there is no reason to believe that their morale has changed since then either

It's true that Facebook doesn't post anything that you haven't previously liked, however, I believe, in many cases people do think that somebody have explicitly liked that particular sponsored post rather than the page behind it.
