I use namecheap too, been a customer for several years, find the pricing good and haven't looked elsewhere because it's met all my needs.

Would this have been affected by the number of available ports on your single loopback address, assuming 127.0.0.1. You'd have to connect via multiple network devices.

Edit: comment below clarifies servers.

Ducksboard, it was a prettier geckoboard alternative which worked better. Acquired by New relic to integrate into insights IIRC.

My G900 (mouse) supports 1000Hz wirelessly; whether it really hits that I do not know for sure, but wired USB should easily be capable above 1000Hz as you mention.

I do know that I had to tweak MS Office apps in the Logitech G software because dragging an Excel window recalculates rows on window drag and the refresh rate of my mouse was so high that it caused noticeable lag, I'm confident it's easily hitting at most a few ms over wireless usb.

There isn't a 13" UK version as far as I can see on the Apple site.

I had a very positive time with the EU XPS 13 Developer Edition (and enhanced i7 touchscreen model which ran Ubuntu fine too) a few years ago.

At the time Dell only shipped the EU versions in 8 GB variants. I'm in the market for a new 13 or 14 inch machine and am split on a new MBP, Thinkpad or XPS 13.

Apple seem to have the best offering in terms of what causes me the least amount of annoyances with hardware/OS integration but don't offer a 32GB laptop. I also would prefer to run Linux natively. It's a tough decision given the ~2,000 GBP cost.

Edit: a couple of replies mention not liking the touchbar or keyboard in the new MBP line-up. I used a touchbar 13" model daily for ~6 months at my last full time and after a weeks usage grew to like the keyboard and love the touchpad. The touchbar was .. meh, even with BetterTouchTool to map my IDE shortcuts. Apple need to add haptic feedback to the touchbar IMO but I didn't find the lack of physical keys too hurtful to my workflow.

I use the lamp stack too, hosting on scaleway nowadays; aws is great but for my own non critical hobbiest projects scaleway is hard to beat. Having said that, cpanel is great on shared hosting with the ability to specify your PHP version and modules.

As a language PHP can be a mess but the ecosystem is fantastic; the release of PSRs, composer and 7.x have been great.

Have you tried the official GitHub client? I've worked at a few places where non developers started to use it because the ability to collaborate through pull requests has so much benefit outside of development. I'm a huge fan of IntelliJ and use the inbuilt git client most of the time, it abstracts most of the complexity. Sourcetree is another good product.

I'm an EU citizen and I've hoped for something similar since the cookie "law". Maybe a callback that gets fired when the consent popup appears and then a browser extension could hook into that and automatically accept.

Edit: replied to an out of date tab, another poster commented the same idea.

Lots of websites you would not expect do this; it's not for spying on users but to improve the user experience.

Being able to aggregate data or inspect individual sessions is a useful tool to learn how users navigate with a site.

Keyboard keystrokes get captured too but the systems are intelligent enough to filter out passwords and payment details.

I don't really like this form of monitoring either but I've seen it in several companies.

Opera mini used to work this way more than a decade ago, it was pretty nifty as it let moderately powerful feature phones access the 'full' (non client JavaScript) web efficiently. Such a thing is no longer needed though; I'd hope a large amount of that 5.2mb is for reusable assets making subsequent requests a few/hundred kilobytes.

Thanks for the explanation, TIL :)

"pv" is a favourite of mine for single command progress indicators

php-pm is very different to fpm, imagine running a heavy framework like laravel where it can take 100 ms to bootstrap a request; why not use a worker pool and delegate the request to it? that's php-pm.

There are interesting projects such as https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm which sets up a pool of 'warmed' workers to speed this up; I've never used that particular project in production but the approach seems reasonable, many of us are probably already handling background jobs using a similar architecture.

Have you tried a node/express like PHP framework such as amp/aerys?
