If there was a security fix in a package, MVS allows build infra to automatically upgrade (assuming packages imported are well maintained by their owners) where as lock-files require manual intervention. Imagine the packaging and developmen

Does google (assuming Spanner) really use Paxos across WAN? My understanding is, it does Two-Phase-Commit (across WAN) over fault-tolerant objects (located in a Paxos Group). Paxos Group could span across Data-Centers, but there it just use

Don't we need to use "GOCMD ?= ..." in the makefile to allow overridding GOCMD from command line?

After struggling a lot, I think, I finally understood best use for GOPATH with Makefile based projects. I use it as follows: I have ~/go for all 3rd party code that I did not develop. My personal projects live in a different directory

It seems description on 32399 could be misleading. I didn't mean diff-between-two-comments, but in-response-to-a-comment. Gerrit enables this by showing comments in-line even when we view diff between two MR uploads. On the left I see

Am I the only one who thinks gitlab is a poor product? They upgrade every week. Who the hell does that to paying customers? And half of their website functionality doesn't work when they upgrade -- but their upgrade-banner always says

Did not digest the paper yet. Does it provide nested transactions? My understanding from 2012 paper was that it doesn't support nested transactions, even at the storage layer. Can anybody provide insider-knowledge if it was even a requ

My biggest issue is w.r.t multiple outputs (xrandr). It works as expected, but requires decent customization effort -- which I think is not for everybody.

I am using EXWM everyday for more than a year. It has hugely improved my Emacs workflows and productivity. I would put it on par with Magit :) It still has few rough edges, so may not be for everybody.

I completely agree with your assessment. I couldn't believe what I was reading and how A16Z even allowed such foolish article to be published on their website. I would recommend everybody I know to stay away from Scott and may be, even

IMO, more interesting property than the messaging complexity is, bitcoin (in theory) allows <50% malicious actors in the consensus group. Lamport BFT only allows <33% malicious actors. Of course, this comparison is not really fair bec

As an outsider, what is the best way to measure or identify the bubble? Is a "VC firm filing for bankruptcy" the only indicator? Can someone more knowledgeable share some thoughts on this?

I don't understand how resumable functions can be used to build stack-full coroutines, like in Go language, can anyone give an example or some links?

Thanks for that information. NSO and ISO are usually termed Stock Options. Which category are they? "stock" or "options"?

What is worse is, employees -- who make up the common-pool -- don't get to see the terms of these late stage rounds. So, their share of valuation is sinking and they are not made aware of it. Also, doesn't outstanding stock an use

Am I the only one who thinks ".then(...)" code is also unreadable? Composability with ".then(...)" looks like a workaround for C++ limitations. Why can't we have this instead: fooAsync(input) { //.
