Serving Static Assets via Nginx

Concept

  • People talk about two servers: a web server (e.g. Nginx, Apache, etc.) and a app server (e.g. Language specific servers like Unicorn, Node.js, Tomcat, Http-Kit, etc.). There are exceptions where app servers not required at all (as web server itself provides preprocessors for handling), but let's not talk about now.
  • Web servers are really fast and supports lot of standard and commonly used MIME-type requests. Concept of serving a file is -- forming and sending a response of bytes of data and labeling it with requested MIME-type by a client (e.g. web browser).
  • Every response format (in layman's language, a file) is recognized by it's MIME-type, for e.g. a PNG image file has "image/png" MIME-type. JavaScript file has "text/javascript". HTML responses (or files) has "text/html". Plain text files have "text/plain".
  • Modern Browsers supports a lot of standard MIME-types. Images, videos, text files (XML, HTML, SVG, JS), and they better know how to visualize it. Browser also knows unrec

HTTP Streaming (or Chunked vs Store & Forward)

HTTP Streaming (or Chunked vs Store & Forward)

The standard way of understanding the HTTP protocol is via the request reply pattern. Each HTTP transaction consists of a finitely bounded HTTP request and a finitely bounded HTTP response.

However it's also possible for both parts of an HTTP 1.1 transaction to stream their possibly infinitely bounded data. The advantages is that the sender can send data that is beyond the sender's memory limit, and the receiver can act on

Linux on MacBook Pro Late 2016 and Mid 2017 (with Touchbar)

Introduction

This is about documenting getting Linux running on the late 2016 and mid 2017 MPB's; the focus is mostly on the MacBookPro13,3 and MacBookPro14,3 (15inch models), but I try to make it relevant and provide information for MacBookPro13,1, MacBookPro13,2, MacBookPro14,1, and MacBookPro14,2 (13inch models) too. I'm currently using Fedora 27, but most the things should be valid for other recent distros even if the details differ. The kernel version is 4.14.x (after latest update).

The state of linux on the MBP (with particular focus on MacBookPro13,2) is also being tracked on https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux . And for Ubuntu users there are a couple tutorials (here and here) focused on that distro and the MacBook.

Note: For those who have followed these instructions ealier, and in particular for those who have had problems with the custom DSDT, modifying the DSDT is not necessary anymore - se

Small, quick guide to set up Manjaro on the XPS 15 9560
# 1. First of all of course get Manjaro:
https://manjaro.org/get-manjaro/
# I recommend using Etcher to copy the image to your USB:
https://etcher.io/
# 2. Before installing make sure:
# - Secure boot is disabled in BIOS
# - Your SSD, HDD or NVME drive is set to AHCI instead of RAID
# - Fastboot should be on Auto or minimal, but this shouldn't matter to much

This is an example of a .gitlab-ci.yml that is required for Continuous Integration on GitLab projects.
# Reference: https://www.exclamationlabs.com/blog/continuous-deployment-to-npm-using-gitlab-ci/
# GitLab uses docker in the background, so we need to specify the
# image versions. This is useful because we're freely to use
# multiple node versions to work with it. They come from the docker
# repo.
# Uses NodeJS V 9.4.0
image: node:9.4.0
# And to cache them as well.
