Reverse proxy with Caddy 2

The smallest and easiest REST server in Python
16 Apr 2014
I am creating a web application for writing. This is just the beginning and I am making some experiments.
I decided to use AngularJS for the interface, as it solves most of the problems of any web application interface. Templates, two-way data binding between template and code, easy REST actions, etc…
As I understand, I am just learning, AngularJS is mostly designed for using a REST server for the data load and store.

Python bitarray and Sieve of Eratosthenes
27 Jan 2014
Some time ago, I was thinking about prime numbers and I found that it is possible to find prime numbers just with sums instead of divisions or remainders. As it was very simple approach, I thought that for sure, someone else found this solution already. And I was right, this algorithm is called Sieve of Eratosthenes.
This method exchanges the CPU intense calculations by storage. Instead of calculating if a number is prime with divisions, it stores which numbers are not primes until a maximum, then the prime numbers are the ones that are not on the list.

Fast Discovery programming
