This submission is _advertising_ a paid app to... skip ads.

Question for OP: how would you feel about a browser extension that automatically recognises submissions of this nature and hides them?

This is the sort of input that you'd selectively pick in a unit test, too. What you don't do is also picking inputs like "llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" too (all lowercase) :)

What about a static website served through nginx, for example?

It seems that some languages provide a pretty good abstraction, memory-wise ;)

I found that this makes rebasing a feature branch really difficult. The alternative is not much better.

Have you had a continental breakfast?

Was going to try it out today, but alas "You can’t use this version of the application “Intercept” with this version of OS X."

I should update already ;)

We use Charles extensively at work, it's a great tool.

The only thing that really annoys me is that, this being a Java app, the interface works slightly different than the standard OS X interface I'm using to.

I regularly use cmd + backspace, for example, to delete all text until between the beginning of the line and the cursor. In Charles this is a hot key that removes all recorded requests. There are more of such things.

I've been looking for a similar app with a native UI, but haven't been able to find one yet.

What happens if a function is renamed?

Processes can communicate. I reckon you could have a process that's responsible for managing the cache instead of managing a separate cache from each process.

I'm no Erlang programmer, though.

I'm sure you know this, but it's not missing that feature. It's just that the syntax is different.

Instead of the fencing token, could the scenario in the blog post be prevented using a good hashing function?

When you perform a write, instead of the token, send a hash of the object previously read. The storage can then compare this against a hash of the resource's current state. If it doesn't match the lock expired and the write is not accepted.

This would reduce the state to keep track off to the resources themselves.

A droplet is just a VPS.

Taking money gives you all sorts of unpleasant responsibilities to deal with. That's not something everyone wants, especially not if you've got a day job you're not planning on leaving.

Why? A currency symbol does not come with a decimal/thousands separator convention.
