PHP in Browser has done this: https://oraoto.github.io/pib/.

What I find interesting about the Elasticsearch story is the success it has given that the core product (the search server) is completely open source.

The name looked familiar and it's indeed inspired by the Faker library for PHP: https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker

Another interesting library that is build on top of Faker is Alice. It allows you to define complex fixtures in .yml: https://github.com/nelmio/alice

Wondering how effective this is for getting a competitor website to block for example the google crawler. Maybe that's the motive.

The draft was released earlier this month. There was an interesting discussion about it back then too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6012525

At the same time I also submitted another article that I still think is interesting and relevant as of today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6014976

Longer explanation of why there is no SSL in Varnish can be found here: https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/ssl.html.

I agree on the Multiple Users being very useful. I have a user for my private browsing, one for company related user accounts and more.

The benefit for me is that this does not only work for for Google related products (gmail/analytics), but also for other products you use. In our case Outlook Web Access, but also for example Trello and GitHub.

They might look tacky in first place, but I assume they are related to the dollar signs in the stacktraces of code with threading and anonymous functions. :)

It's hard to give a TL;DR on the whole library, but case classes can be used with for example pattern matching (https://github.com/lihaoyi/macropy#pattern-matching).

The following code:

  with patterns:
      Foo(x, Bar(3, z)) << Foo(4, Bar(3, 8))

The constructor after the << will be matched with the part before <<. It will only match if the first argument of "Bar" is 3. If that's the case, x and z will be bound to 4 and 8.

Does this help? :)

While the specific feature is fun to see in python, I'm much more impressed by the fact that MacroPy enables you to do AST transformations from python modules on the fly. This allows for developing DSLs like they show with PINQ (a LINQ "clone").

San Francisco on the other hand:

Objective-C

  162 jobs requested Objective-C
  122 jobs requested Ruby
  120 jobs requested JavaScript

Really like the design. What I'd like to see is a device with a design like this that also has:

- options to pair up with specific other devices for the backups (family, trusted friends etc)

- a web app for posting status updates etc (implementing tent.io?)

Basically the things social networks offer now, but with you owning your own data.

Very cool! I created a small bookmarklet that injects it into the system we're developing over here. It's nice to amaze some colleagues real quick. ;)

    javascript:(function(){var%20s=document.createElement('script');s.setAttribute('src','https://raw.github.com/franzenzenhofer/box2d-jquery/master/js/lib/jquery.box2d.min.js');document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(s);window.setTimeout(function(){$("#main-nav,header").box2d({'y-velocity':5,'x-velocity':-0.05,'debug':false});},500);})();

Note: if you copy this in the omnibox of chrome, you will need to re-add "javascript:" in front of it.

Edit: And a working bookmarklet for HN that also injects jquery.

    javascript:(function(){var%20s=document.createElement('script');s.setAttribute('src','//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js');document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(s);s=document.createElement('script');s.setAttribute('src','https://raw.github.com/franzenzenhofer/box2d-jquery/master/js/lib/jquery.box2d.min.js');document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(s);window.setTimeout(function(){$("td:first()").box2d({'y-velocity':5,'x-velocity':-0.05,'debug':false});},500);})();

I think it also depends on how you use Varnish. A lot of web applications can benefit from the reverse proxy capabilities of Varnish, but if you make Varnish part of your application stack from day one you can do things like I describe here. :)

I took the photographs with my phone, next time I'll use a better camera. Changing the red is probably a good idea anyway. Thanks!

Hm, I'm not sure how to introduce the pre-authentication bit even further. Maybe it isn't the best subtitle.

I agree that colouring the output could make things more clear. I'll keep it in mind for future articles!

Next time I'll take the photographs with a dslr camera instead of my phone. :)

Ah yes, the introduction talks about caching, but doesn't say anything about the title. I'll try to keep this comment in mind next time!

The approach described in the blog post can be used with all sorts of authentication schemes. I used an access token as example, but you could also use the "Cookie" header to get a session id.
