I like this a lot, but most of the time I use Charles for more than recording traffic. For example, checking how my apps behaves if I throttle certain endpoints, or rewrite responses. Hoping those features makes it into a future version!

Maybe it is worth mentioning that iOS has the ability to throttle the network itself—it's under "Settings"->"Developer"->"Network Link Conditioner". There is also a pref pane in Addition tools download for Xcode which allows to do the same on the Mac.

I’d guess App Store reviews stops that.

Totally agree on the unstructured content in the forums. I would suggest they open up the wikis more for editing by MOOC-students, and work to keep that up-to-date. Wading through forums for those nuggets of information to fix your problems is time consuming and boring.

Pro-tip: Press CMD+F (or CTRL+F) a second time to "override" the shortcut for search.

I'm doing part 1 at the moment, and the outdated AWS setup instructions on the site frustrated me a bit as well.

Maybe an idea would be to leverage the community a bit more? Make it easier to edit the wiki for MOOC-students which are the ones watching/reading the material later on. And maybe refer to that wiki more on the site.

I end up using the forums a lot for trying to find info on stuff that is not working, or I don't understand. But it's not an easy platform to find information since it isn't structured well.

It's been a while since I watched the course, but IIRC the setup video had an overlay that said to simply put "fast.ai MOOC" (or something similar) into the P2 request form. Worked perfectly for me. Did that not show up for you?

Yeah, that showed up for me. It was more about how to use the setup scripts, they had changed a bit it seemed.

I thought if the resources around the course evolve over time, then the material should as well. It would be easier to keep a wiki up-to-date and refer to that, instead of a video (and site). For setup and "sidenotes" specifically, I'm not saying the lessons should be re-created in the wikis.

Although the homework and lesson notes in the wikis was indispensable.

What exactly constitutes the Deco package registry?

Will I need to submit my React Native libraries to a new registry? Or are you working with something like http://js.coach (formerly react.parts)?

For the beta, we currently have our own registry, but we are looking into ways to integrate with others.

Is there a reason you aren't using NPM - I haven't done much react native development, is NPM not the go-to registry?

There are plenty of front ends for NPM so hopefully you guys can figure out something for this!

Okay! And presumably for the code scaffolding you will eventually let library authors customize that themselves?

Yep, that's right.

I just crashed a 2008 R2 server without a rule, just with "Enable Kernel Caching". Not sure if it is relevant, but I first added a rule for .png, and then removed it again. Still worked.

Can't edit the top comment anymore :( but it has been found that indeed no rules are needed to exploit this (my previous answer is outdated and wrong!)

If you can't afford to reboot your servers right now to install the patch, at least you can add this to your web.config and deploy your websites ASAP :

<configuration> <system.webServer> <caching enableKernelCache="false"/> </system.webServer> </configuration>

Instead of updating every single web.config of your website I think it is better to just update once and for all by updating machine.config. What you say ?

Seems like you can't add a system.webServer node on the machine.config, but you could add it to applicationHost.config (source: http://www.iis.net/learn/get-started/planning-your-iis-archi... ) so yes, that would be faster. You have to make sure that none of your web.config files override that setting though!

I believe IIS supports locking attributes (source: http://www.iis.net/learn/get-started/planning-for-security/h...) so you should be able to lock at applicationHost.config and restrict further modifications. (I'm testing this now)

EDIT:

It causes a config error when a lock violation occurs which means the site gets an error 500 so its not an ideal fix.
