Maybe he'll get to use the "that would be impressive except if they had known what they were looking for,they would have seen it written on my dorm room window" quote later today.
I find it surprising that it would cause issues. There are as of this writing only 162 comments in the thread, which was posted 17 hours ago, and the (simple!) web page is still very slow to load. How much traffic slows down a static web page with a single image? Even if we stipulate a quite manageable 100 requests per second, that means 6 million people read this thread and decided to click that link. 6 million people and only 162 left a comment? Can that be right?
>Even if we stipulate a quite manageable 100 requests per second,
Depends on the situation, but 100 requests/seconds sound like a lot to me (depending on how heavy the processing is, of course). And every page visit generates 8 requests, so that's "just" 12 people visiting per second.
Not so controversial. The vast majority of code is written in plain ASCII (and english), and I hope it will go on. Using non ASCII character in your code is a double failure.
Take an example: "trouvé" instead of "found" as a variable name.
1- You're right. Most people won't be able to type "é", "à"... with their keyboard. Working on that code won't be easy.
2: What is the meaning of "trouvé" ? How people could figure out that variable name ? Average coder will search for english named functions or variable.
