What makes it a standardized version of Message Pack? Message Pack has a specification that is well documented[0] and even the rfc you refer to specifically states it has different goals (though, eliding specifics with pretty sad generaliza

Message Pack[0] is another protocol that follows this very successful simplicity. A leading thought in a lot of this is the "unset and a zero value are equivalent". It simplifies a lot of what the serializer and deserializers have

What do we do about censorship? When countries block all foreign HTTPS? It really feels like websites should know what transport they're operating on (secure vs unsecure) and present what information they can reasonably with unsecure.

Nah, I think they don't have the time to get up to speed enough to even understand what it means to have their IP tracked, let alone understand the lengths they would have to go to avoid being tracked. Most of my non-technical friends

Ohhhh yes, the one that really inspired me was this super detailed org-mode workflow: http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html The part that was best for me was someone taking so much time to document, screenshot, and close the l

Well, many of these have prohibitive application fees that take a lot of work to get waved. I think that's a bigger immediate barrier than figuring out how you'd even pay for the schooling. I know I didn't apply to several sc

Huh? Emacs, Guile, and the common lisp in this project have doc strings? What implementations are you referring to, and what features do you think they're missing?

This is a pretty useful feature for something that regularly copies large files/disks you'd want to see the progress of, in fact I'd say it should have been default behavior for years. I'd make some crude comment about c

Org-Mode has a similar layout for it's org-babel stuff in emacs. So glad to see something similar that's outside of the emacs ecosystem, would love to get an org-mode exporter / importer for beaker notebooks so I can collabor

Is this how you document your code? 1. Write comment about code, and commit it. 2. Delete comment about code, and commit the removal. I mean hey - your team mates should be able to use a VCS right? Facetious workflows miss the point, judgme

Committing commented out code means you're trying to communicate with comments in your code. English isn't the only language that's useful in comments, especially when trying to document something of computable logic. If you

Or even save all your open tabs as a MAFF archive! Then you can read them offline. I like to add them to my todo list and then read them when I turn of my networking so I don't get lost down a hacker news rat hole. Dunno if chrome supp

Google Cloud Storage does not support append. One reason these things don't support append is at some point they need to choose the "version" of the object. Usually this is done when an object upload has completed. If they al

Please see my comment below about their support of CalDAV (only for specific clients, they keep changing the endpoint location). CalDAV is a standardization of a previously proprietary but working design (apple's icalendar work) that m

Even when they try to support it, they changed the endpoint location (?! I guess even Google is bad at URLs), and their CalDAV implementation only supports the calls of a popular enough client they don't have control over. "We hav

They both use the same daemon (guix-builder is a fork of nix-builder), so I think they could share packages given the hashing is the same. This hypothetical has not been implemented yet, I'd love it. Their is an importer[0], but this i

Question now that I got my guix zealotry out of the way. Do you run your own hydra? I really want to but it seems like setting one up is a pain. How do you handle /nix/store sizes? I've found that gc get's away from me.

Yes, make DESTDIR=/poop install or configuring ./configure --prefix=/fart. You are supposed to be able to even combine them, e.g. the above would be installed to /poop/fart.
