   Yes, it's alive. We've been on a long hiatus while we wait for the dust to settle with async code in the Rust ecosystem. This is the GitHub issue that best tracks our ongoing blockers: https://github.com/ruma/

   I'm the original creator of Ruma, another homeserver implementation, and our project has received nothing but support and appreciation from the Matrix team. It's true that Synapse is the only homeserver that is in a "finished

   I'm still very partial (obviously) to the Introduction to Matrix guide we wrote as part of Ruma's documentation: https://www.ruma.io/docs/matrix/

   I'm the creator of Ruma, and so I can confirm this. :} For anyone interested, a detailed list of what is blocking or slowing progress can be found here: https://github.com/ruma/ruma/issues/189 Up until v

   Nice to see this happen. I'm glad that it will get more attention and some possible improvements. One thing I'd like to see is a specified practice for versioning projects that "wrap" another project where the "inne

    Thanks for sharing this! I wasn't aware of this term and it's very relevant to another topic I often discuss. It'll be very useful to me. :}

    I'm afraid I'm a bit of a one-issue voter when it comes to web browser, and the reason that I haven't switched to Firefox from Chrome (even though ideologically I want to) is this workflow that I use for clicking links in oth

    I agree with you completely, and I think you would not be getting downvoted if the demographic of Hacker News readers was different. Being mentally ill doesn't mean that racist things you say aren't racist.

    Does anyone know the history of the `console` object? The first time I ever saw it and used it was with Firebug, but it occurs to me that I don't know if Firebug invented it. Did it just decide to inject this name into the global names

    Question for the HN mods: I submitted this same article earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15483452 Why was this one able to be submitted instead of just redirecting to my submission?

    This has bugged me too since upgrading to iOS 11. I understand the motivation for the change, but it was not necessary to make the UI misleading. It should very clearly indicate between "off" and "off-ish," and allow swi

    The requirement of a nightly compiler for many of my projects has been my biggest problem with Rust for both surveys so far. I recently made an issue for my largest Rust project, Ruma, that enumerates all the things we're waiting on fr
