Gitlab's CI/CD is amazing. Of all the systems I've seen, it's the easiest to (a) deploy your own runners easily, and (b) mix private and public runners (i.e. the equivalent of using a free plan on Travis, with the benefi

I looked at Notion a while ago as part of my ongoing quest to find a good Markdown editor. Notion isn't aiming to be that, but like a lot of products in this space, it can kind of do it depending on what exactly you're looking for

It has a web interface. Admittedly, their Firefox support has been less than perfect, but it works pretty flawlessly in Chrome.

Did you move away from Emscripten? I was trying to use repl.it offline recently, and it didn't seem to work. Using Emscripten was one of the coolest parts of the original, and it would be sad if you had to drop that.

Hasn't this been a thing since forever on Android? People are always lamenting that uptake of the newest version (or newest 2 versions) is slow. Do you actually have evidence that the uptake of this specific version is slow? Otherwis

I absolutely agree that message passing and actor models are the way things are done now. I just don't agree that it'll be the best we can do in the future. As a programming languages person, message passing doesn't seem very

First, I'll say: if you have any suggestions for how to improve the tutorials and documentation in general, we'd be happy to hear them. Even years into the project, we're still learning how to teach Legion. We're an open

It's worth mentioning that this isn't the only way to do distributed programming. Dataflow programming works quite well, and the newest state of the art systems are exploring ways to generate dataflow parallelism implicitly from s

There are really two kinds of attacks: ones that involve subverting existing networked devices to perform malicious acts (hacking), and making one's own malicious devices (building). Of the two, attacking existing devices sounds scarie

Have you ever tried to typeset a complex document with side bars, figures, multi-part figures, figures that contain math (not just images), and layouts that take a lot of tweaking to get just right? I can imagine doing that in Pandoc Markdo

You unmap the memory when you free it so that it causes a segfault if you access it, and then if a segfault occurs you know something went wrong.

This is one of my favorite features of Terra [1]. It also uses Clang to parse the header files, so most things "Just Work" (including, even, JITing inline functions on the fly so they can be used). [1]: http://terralang

It certainly depends on the threat model, but in this case I have to agree with Github---adding at-rest encryption would be unlikely to make their product significantly more secure, and it would certainly be nowhere as secure as Keybase. Wi

Sure it was, but how much additional effort did Apple put into the code base by way of WebKit? Apple didn't need to open source that work, even if the original was open source, and I'm sure the leg up made a big time-to-market dif

The comments here are missing a massive use case: shared memory. Shared memory isn't just about programmer convenience. It's about using a machine's memory resources more effectively. Yes, shared memory is available in multi-

Pandoc is excellent, but I'd recommend coverting Markdown to LaTeX instead of the other way around. I've tried several LaTeX to X converters (for any value of X other than PS/PDF) and frankly none of them are very good. The a

I think the net neutrality case would be more like getting a $10k discount when you opt in to buying a Prius that goes half speed when you try to drive to any large store other than Walmart. And imagine that there was a law saying that in y

Is CC0 not closer to being public domain? My understanding is that placing a work into public domain is actually non-trivial, so if that's really what you want to do you should use a license explicitly geared toward that: https:/
