All beloved Trump:

280K trump.ff.bz2

516K trump.ff.gz

304K trump.ff.xz

360K trump.png

32K trump.jpg

Using a more complex langscape image:

175M coast-hdr.ff

42M coast-hdr.ff.bz2

83M coast-hdr.ff.gz

39M coast-hdr.ff.xz

6.5M coast-hdr.jpg

52M coast-hdr.png

Does not look that bad to me compared to PNG.

We should not use HTTP for such things. It is against HTTPs intentions. Just use any other protocol.
Re:Scrum seems to be mostly about having better alibis on Sunday March 15, 2015 @06:47PM (#9208542)
From my experience most of the time companies/teams didn't even try to implement Scrum. Like having multiple product owners, skipping meetings, inventing new meetings, product owners not attending sprint planing or developers not caring about the process at all. The product owner is a single point of failure. If he does not work well it is hard for a team to deliver. In most teams I worked so far team members haven't even read the Scrum Guide nor gotten any training and didn't care.
Re:Scrum seems to be mostly about having better alibis on Sunday March 15, 2015 @06:39PM (#9208514)
But another point often forgotten is that the main goal is to deliver a working increment. Even if not the whole sprint gets delivered for some reason.

You do not have to clone the whole history of a repo with GIT. Solves most of your issues.
Re:Dom's laptop is in Iran on Thursday April 11, 2013 @12:43PM (#5533081)
I always wonder why those _smart_ people:

- don't protect their laptop using a password

- therefor probably do not turn on FileVault?

And why pay for HiddenApp if Apple offers a similar service for free?

+1 for polyglot, but I find PHP in the mix strange though. Is there a reason why you think PHP/Symphony2 is the best choice?

I believe the "loyal userbase" would be large enough to sustain a startup. But sadly that is not enough for google anymore.

Wow, nice usage of HTML5 video.

Also speeds up the page. Just one HTTP request, instead of two.

Event Cologne: Redis Internals Tech Talk

http://dev.adcloud.com/blog/2012/10/08/redis-techtalk/

This time Tim Becker will show us how to pay more attention to the man behind the curtain! Redis is not magic, in this talk we’ll rummage through source code, start reading C, examine the redis protocol, event loop and some datastructures. It should provide enough information that you won’t fear diving in the code yourself and have a good overview of what’s going on behind the curtain.
