Show HN: QuickServ • Dangerously user-friendly web server
I made this because I hate web development.
Don't get me wrong, I love that once something is on the web, anyone can effortlessly use it on their phone or computer – my most successful projects have been web apps. But I hate that you need to be knowledgeable about both the latest developments and 20 years of historical context to build anything.
QuickServ is inspired by CGI of old: requests are passed on standard input, and responses are passed on standard output. Unlike CGI, QuickServ is designed to work without the user ever touching the command line.
Using this model, QuickServ makes it easy to build web apps, regardless of experience. It delivers ease of use at the expense of speed and security, which makes it powerful for prototyping and hackathons. Check out the examples to see how effortlessly it can be used to bring bad ideas to life. Such bad ideas include (but are not limited to) web applications built in languages like bash and x86 assembly.

Since the main goal of the project is usability, that is the main aspect of the project on which I am looking for feedback. Are the examples clear? Are the error messages clear? Is it easy to set up and install? That kind of thing.
Thanks in advance for taking a look!

So You Think You Know Git – Git Tips and Tricks by Scott Chacon
Boy, I can't find this either (but also, the kernel mailing list is _really_ difficult to search). I really remember Linus saying something like "it's not a real SCM, but maybe someone could build one on top of it someday" or something like that, but I cannot figure out how to find that.
You _can_ see, though, that in his first README, he refers to what he's building as not a "real SCM":

Do we think of Git commits as diffs, snapshots, and/or histories?
I understand all that.
I'm saying, if you write a survey and one of the possible answers is "diff", but you don't clearly define what you mean by "diff", then don't be surprised if respondents use any reasonable definition that makes sense to them. Ask an ambiguous question, get a mishmash of answers.
The thing that Git uses for packfiles is called a "delta" by Git, but it's also reasonable to call it a "diff". After all, Git's delta algorithm is "greatly inspired by parts of LibXDiff from Davide Libenzi"[1]. Not LibXDelta but LibXDiff.
Yes, how Git stores blobs (using deltas) is orthogonal to how Git uses blobs. But while that orthogonality is useful for reasoning about Git, it's not wrong to think of a commit as the totality of what Git does, including that optimization. (Some people, when learning Git, stumble over the way it's described as storing full copies, think it's wasteful. For them to wrap their heads around Git, they have to understand that the optimization exists. Which makes sense because Git probably wouldn't be practical if it lacked that optimization.)
The reason I'm bringing all this up is, if you're trying to explain Git, which is what the original article is about, then it's very important to keep in mind that someone who is learning Git needs to know what you mean when you say "diff". Most people who already know Git would tend to gravitate toward the definition of "diff" that you're assuming (the thing that Git computes on the fly and never stores), but people who already know Git aren't the target audience when you're teaching Git.
