If "y" isn't a thing, then "is x really y" has been answered. Gluten is not the only thing wheat is made of. The research suggests, but it has not been confirmed, that FODMAPs may be the thing that many people diagn

It seems that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lzip came out at the time between lzma and xz, possibly because lzma lacked proper file headers and checksumming at the time. These days, some distros use lz and most use xz,

There is an AOT compiler from source to bytecode, and then there is a bytecode interpreter. Wingo is considering the possibility of having a bytecode-to-native JIT or a source-to-native compiler.

The lack of understanding of this comic has done more damage. Every person suggesting a new specification should have at least some idea of why people using the existing specifications would be interested in migrating, and how. I think Acti

This HN:er does. Here's my take: Decentralized: Not centralized, not a single server or provider. Federated and distributed systems are both decentralized systems. Federated: Several providers or servers, equal among themselves, but us

pump.io and OStatus are not compatible.

An announced successor is still xkcd/927 until it actually replaces all use of the predecessors. Case in point: pump.io is the successor of OStatus and StatusNet.

Others have pointed out that OStatus isn't built on XMPP, but maybe the source of your confusion is this: OpenMicroBlogging, predecessor of OStatus and the original protocol of laconi.ca/StatusNet/GNU Social, was built on XMP

I was going to say, if one wants a go web server with LetsEncrypt there's also https://docs.traefik.io/ . I have heard about Caddy, but had forgotten it is also written in go. So now there's (at least) three.

If only one person stepped up to run the project (which is my impression from another thread), it's not very likely someone would suddenly fork it now. Especially since this changes nothing about the project, except reverting the comme

GPLv3 is Apache 2 compatible, which GPLv2 isn't. Most other permissive licenses are compatible with any GPL.
