I enjoy historical books about the rise, fall, and everything in between for companies in the industry — things like The Idea Factory about Bell Labs, Dealers of Lightning about Xerox PARC, and Soul of a New Machine about Data General.

Are there any books folks would recommend like that about Sun?

Not really about a company, though.

Can someone explain what this is? The page has almost no information (on mobile) and I don't want to install just to find out.

Same (but not a shopping site). Bundle the JS and CSS into one file each and cache it forever (hash in the filename to bust the cache). Then with each page transition there's exactly one HTTP request to fetch a small amount of HTML and it's done. So fast and simple.

Exactly this. In our case we went so far to cache all static assets. Putting them into a directory with a hash in the name made them still easy to bust.

  # Cache static files
  location ~* \.(ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png|svg|woff|woff2)$ {
    expires 365d;
    add_header Pragma public;
    add_header Cache-Control "public";
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000;
  }

I wonder why the article doesn't mention utilizing the browser cache for your static CSS and JS assets instead of introducing a service worker as first measure.

Few years ago I built a shopping site MPA this way and the page transitions were almost not noticable.

i use neovim and screen as defaults and find them quite useful, but never found tmux useful, please change my mind tmux what are good starter tutorials?

As tmux can be extended with plugins I'd recommend to check through this list and see if you find something useful:

https://github.com/tmux-plugins/list

As a neovim user I can also very much recommend this vim plugin to seamlessly navigate between tmux panes and neovim windows:

Even if it's obvious: I was missing a "How to use" section in the README that demonstrates how this tool can be invoked.

EDIT: Ok, there's something in the "Working with STDIN and STDOUT" section. But TBH I'd find it more helpful to have the different use cases collected at the top. To me it wasn't even clear how the command is called.

Hmm, he lost me on page nine where "complete" is explained.

> Complete means that every sequence of vectors |a1>, |a2>, ... satisfying lim ...

How are the elements of this sequence related? And why are we only interested in the elements where the index n/m goes to infinity? What does that even mean if the sequence is arbitrary?

That's probably why I also can't make sense of this:

> Loosely speaking, saying that a Hilbert space is complete means that it contains all of its limits.
