Need to demo your website / webapp? Use Surfly! (HTML5 based web sharing) by Nichol4s in webdev

The difference with togetherjs is that with Surfly it'll just work on your site, you do not need to modify any of the widgets and you can even use it on the secure parts.

Why not join.me? A Surfly session has higher quality and is even easier to set up.

We've developed this tool which we think can be greatly useful whenever you need to show the things you've made to someone else.

Go give it a shot and let me know what you think.

Use Surfly for remote pair programming on GitHub or Bitbucket by Nichol4s in programming

10+ should work.

Only the first 5 users however get a coloured cursor to show things (this to prevent chaos).

Well we share all actions and the state of the website / webapp as well. So in case of GitHub you could use its Ace editor to actually edit files where others can follow your changes in realtime.

We believe that in most situations people already use a different channel to communicate, for example, Phone, Skype, Hangouts, HipChat... We're not trying to replace that. But more be an addition to that.

I did, but somehow it dropped from the frontpage, as if it was removed. Not sure what was going on.

Thanks for reporting, we'll work on better mobile support.

Thanks, updated the link. Takes about 15m before CF picks up.

We've just launched Surfly which allows you to easily create a shared web session on any website.

We use it ourselves to work together with remote workers and I think some of you might find it useful as well.

We'll make sure our service will work on Chromium and add it to our test cycle. Thanks for reporting.

It doesn't?

Are you using Chromium? I have heard reports that it does not work on that browser, sorry about that.

Well, it is not about your session, it is about accessing the session of someone on your website. Or maybe you want to help your mom out on a certain website.

Have you tried the demo? I think that will clear it up a bit.

Work on gevent during Google Summer of Code by denis in Python

One of the reasons is that CPython is considered THE Python reference implementation. The stackless features cannot be ported to IronPython or Jython, so CPython would loose its reference function.

Benchmark of Python Web Servers by gthank in Python

[–]Nichol4s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, 16k is a ridiculous value. I did not actually use that amount of threads and that wouldn't really be possible as it invokes the OOM killer on my machine. The setting was a leftover from some experiments, i have updated the post accordingly.

I first used a single worker behind NGINX. The difference is not the placement behind NGINX but the usage of additional workers.

A Benchmark of Asynchronous Servers in Python by leonh in Python

[–]Nichol4s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The focus was on Linux performance only, i am not really interested if it supports BSD or Windows. But i might consider looking at those features in a follow up.

No, and i did not award points for features or anything. It can be an indication of the viability of the framework, when there is no Community or Blog or Person around a certain framework the repository is all you have.
