Historically, reverse proxies were invented to manage a large number of slow connections to application servers which were relatively resource intensive. If your application requires N bytes of memory per transaction then the time between the request coming in and the response going out could pin those bytes in memory, as the web server can’t move ahead to the next request until the client confirms it got the whole page.

A reverse proxy can spool in requests from slow clients, when they are complete, then hand them off to the app servers on the backend, the response is generated and sent to the reverse proxy, which can slowly spool the response data out while the app server moves onto the next request.

You would have to go on a long Safari deep in the mall to find something like that… Look for the bitten fruit from the forbidden tree.

Well, sorta, it does call for a totalitarian theocratic state pretty early on, and justifies the possession of Palestine on the basis of military conquest, which is how it was taken. So, “your religious state is intolerable and only we get to take territory by force; when you do it it’s not halal.”

What could possibly go wrong?

Wait, you can just do that? You can just arrest and charge people trying to take over your country!?

Do people enjoy ingesting disinformation?

Obviously, and very sadly, they really seem to.

SpaceX is privately funded, NASA buys launches for it’s own purposes, but StarLink isn’t subsidized

+1: ed/vi/vim is on every system with a shell, if you can ssh into it, you can edit files using those tools, it’s worth knowing them.

Nano is adorable, and EMACS is notoriously huge, both in capabilities and learning curve.

Seven? Those are amateur numbers…

Edit: linked the wrong Japanese Serial Killing Nurse… Miyuki Ishikawa was investigated for neglecting 84 neonates, indicted for 27 and found guilting of killing 5.

It’s and old joke, but it checks out

I’ve been noticing more and more basic grammar errors in reporting, even from relatively reputable news sources. Not usually misspellings, but words out of place or awkward phrasing, seems like there are no editors any more

Every day, almost 3,700 people are killed globally in crashes involving cars, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, or pedestrians; nobody bats an eye. (c.f. US CDC)

One Tesla crashes and it’s front page news.
