  1. I use Vox but without any cloud or premium features. It's free and works well enough on my Mac.

    I'm a native English speaker, have a BS in Computer Science, built a lot of systems and understand modern stacks very well. I can improve the performance of your system, whether the bottleneck is in the code (front-end or back-end), database, network stack, cache, or elsewhere. Currently writing a book on improving software performance.

    I'm also an accomplished writer, having written one technical book (on undocumented Microsoft file formats) and edited four others. I can document your system, process, framework or anything similar.

  9. Good point. Thanks for the feedback. Our sites don't get a huge amount of traffic, so it's possible Spring doesn't have as good a concurrency story (or it's due to memory usage) as the higher-ranked frameworks, so it's been sufficient for our needs.
  10. I've been following these benchmarks for some time, and am always shocked that Spring does so poorly (it's 7% here). I haven't had any performance issues with Spring in production, so these benchmarks are puzzling. Are the other frameworks really that much faster in practice?

  12. Looks good on my MBP. Thanks for sharing!
  13. Most likely the GP is referring to "This crowd-funding campaign is ran in ...".
  14. I wrote this one a while ago - https://github.com/argonium/jsnip. May be helpful.
  15. Thanks for this. My first thought was Harry S. Truman.

    Remote: Yes, preferred

    Availability: Part-time

    Field: Technical writer

    I'm a long-time software developer with strong skills in technical writing (co-wrote a book on Windows file formats, and edited four other books), now looking for contract work as a technical writer. I'm a native English speaker, have a BS in Computer Science, built a lot of systems and understand modern stacks very well, and I'm looking to help people document their application, process, framework or anything similar.

  17. Beetle can be used to: a) execute SQL queries and save the results to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, TOML, TSV, Markdown or a SQL file (INSERT commands); and b) generate fake data (lots of types supported), saving to any of the same file formats already mentioned.
