This presentation is tasteless and totally takes any seriousness that should be related to making and promoting an OpenSSL replacement. I personally can't take it seriously and I would recommend hackers to think about what image their

Are there any great open-source implementations of OT? Last time I looked there were some, but the quality and popularity of them was questionable.

Professional snooker is still very popular and the best earn millions of USD pr. year. So the situation between snooker and bowling isn't quite the same.

I am evaluating it on design and I think the design looks more like a Java codebase than a JavaScript one. I don't think this is a positive thing since you should not try to emulate Java idioms in JavaScript (or vice-versa). A small ex

I like the general idea of this project. I think tho' it smells like a enterprisey Java project that's coded in JavaScript (at least by looking at the code and how things are structured).

Allegation that a wife of a founder can read private chats at GitHub makes me question GitHub's privacy and security... I would love if we would have a statement of GitHub on this matter since it would be a huge privacy breach (and som

I don't really think what I suggest goes against the article you link to. It basically says: use channels when appropriate, but sometimes the best approach is to use locks. E.g. An bank account is shared state (similar to a reference c

I was also thinking this while reading this (and I am very new to Go). Here's how I would write this in Go: https://gist.github.com/amix/9517995 I think this is the idiomatic way to implement this. It will lock t

This is sad, but kind of strange with all the fear and media publicity of an airplane crash. For example, 1.2million people lost their life in road traffic in 2010 alone... We rarely read or fear about this fact.

While localStorage is blocking it offers A LOT better performance than IndexedDB, at least based on my experience. There's also some benchmarks here: http://jsperf.com/indexeddb-vs-localstorage/6

I donated $50, but I really wish US (and other countries) would reconsider their broken healthcare systems. My dad died of cancer a few years ago and I am really glad we lived in Denmark when he got it - - with a great public healthcare sys

Europe is ~800million people with very different cultures. You can find geniuses here. You can find entrepreneurs. You can also find people that are sloppy. You can find people that have built billion dollar tech companies. Stop generalizin

I don't agree with the premise. Software isn't a static thing, it's something that is constantly evolving and creating great software, like creating great anything, requires a lot of effort, a lot of time and a lot of dedicat

As I see it, the biggest current threat is bruteforcing of this service, at least based on the recent snapchat attack. And implementing rate limiting would solve this issue. And given that this is a very hard problem to solve this kind of s

I don't really think you need to solve this problem using crypto. I think a simpler solution would be to use the "hash it" solution, but restrict how many lookups each client can do. You can either do this by the using the cl

I don't think there's a huge differences serving 1 million daily users or serving 100 million. In both cases you need highly scaleable systems. In 100 million case you need a lot more computers, but I think the overall structure o

I have actually built and scaled a system similar to Twitter called Plurk (which has millions of users, billions of data items and similar use cases as Twitter). We built this with a team of a few developers and one sys-admin. While Twitter

While Twitter a is cool service I can't imagine what 1000 engineers can do all day long? Based on this maybe they are building their organization wrongly and following their footsteps isn't the correct way to follow.

For OT to work you would need the ability to track all the changes and mirror them to the other users. React appears to have the ability to track changes, but I am unsure how easy it would be to mirror them over the network. There's a

The terminal isn't that well supported right now. I only use the terminal version on servers or when editing configs. Not when writing code/documentation. Would love if someone improved this ;-)

I have just published https://github.com/amix/vim-zenroom2 - - it's based on goyo.vim and seems to work better. Thanks bilalq for the tip :-)

goyo.vim seems to be the real deal, at least it seems to fix problems I have with vimroom (for example, the centering will be wrong if you update the font). Still tho' it would be awesome if Vim had better native support for window mar

The idea is to remove all the distractions (tabs, status bar, split screens etc.) and just focus on one thing. It also centers the content (which is non-trivial to do in vanilla vim) and includes special colors and settings to make Vim look
