Not sure if it's an intentional effect, but the "full width" is a bit more than full for me: http://i.imgur.com/S3jrA7S.jpg

I worked on the Linux version of a large program and after some years of it I mostly concluded that it's hard to know in advance which things work everywhere and which won't, unless you ensure your programmers are familiar with th

I immediately noticed this as well. This API has flags for "asynchronous" requests, but Go style is to provide a blocking API, and let the caller decide to use a goroutine if they need concurrency.

Coincidentally, I've been fiddling with a rather similar project, just as a hobbyist thing. It looks like this one is much farther along, kudos! Unfortunately from the contributions graph perhaps interest in it is dying off -- the la

It looks like this document is a work in progress. Were you looking for feedback on the document? I have used build systems like this (and webpack) so I think I am the sort of person you're looking to win over. The heavy use of boldin

/usr/bin/google-chrome is written by Google and analyzed by the security team. /usr/bin/chromium is written by enthusiasts (the distro's package author).

One FD_CLOEXEC-related bug that got us in Chrome: on Linux, while we were careful to close any open fds when spawning a subprocess, the GTK IME ("input method editor", modules to facilitate typing Japanese etc.) could itself spawn

There was a GnuTLS vulnerability introduced in 2000 was discovered in 2014 due to an audit. To summarize there was a refactoring that had no accompanying test coverage that had the effect of inverting a check. Bugs happen to everyone, but

Clearly you need to provide a working email address to receive the confirmation. Does anyone know the consequences of providing wrong information anywhere else?

You are right. I had meant they left out why the internal network is dangerous. They open with assuming it is dangerous and then discuss how to implement it.

With gcc/clang it's a set of flags starting with -M, and with MSVC it's /showIncludes. They're discussed a bit here: http://martine.github.io/ninja/manual.html#ref_headers

Part of the reason Ninja doesn't support pattern rules is that it would require matching patterns while choosing what to compile. In projects like Chrome (with hundreds of thousands of source files) that can take a while.

I think we are maybe talking in circles. :) When you write "could be made nearly as fast as Ninja", I thought you meant you would change the code of Make or write a new tool. If you don't write a new tool and just use a sub

No, they should be equivalent. The Ninja manual goes so far as to encourage you to continue using Make if Make is fast enough for you. However, another way of writing your question is "if you removed the features of make that ninja do

by evmar 12y ago
FWIW, my tool Ninja (was just on here again this week here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9282539 ) was designed to be more or less the same idea as make with some semantic fixes, and that includes supporting multipl

If you measure by "number of users of the resulting binaries", Ninja is primarily used as a backend for Chrome's bespoke build system. But by number of projects, cmake is likely dominant. (And yes, part of the reason Ninja s

The files serve as a cache of the output of the build file generator: each time the user executes a build (e.g. after each edit to a source file) you only run ninja, not the generator program.

It's pretty funny how this post is on the front page adjacent to a post profiling one of the Go authors that opens with mentioning his masters/PhD from Harvard/MIT.

This post is also a great demonstration as to why a programming language cannot be evaluated as a feature checklist. OCaml's object system is certainly awesome but in practice you'll find it is unevenly used -- some never use it,

Without some difference between functions and blocks, patterns like foo.each do |x| return if x == 3 end Don't "return" out of the enclosing function.
