T+10 years I very much expect CloudFlare's core business to have expanded significantly. I remember that time my Googler friend told me they were about to release that one thing they'd absolutely never do, Chrome came out a few we

Was worried about CF getting their claws dug into archive.org, but on reading, this is a decidedly non-evil deal, actually it sounds wonderful. Still, I worry if there might be some unseen long term interest in the archive. Never forget Dej

Perhaps I misunderstand the text in the README. Who is "we" in this case? Is the software writing its own README?

I know it's common and perhaps even fashionable, but FWIW language like "We take an opinionated stance" utterly puts me off caring about this package It's a piece of software, it has a design that is either fit for purpo

C-the-language has no concept of size-tagged arrays at runtime, and I guess it's baked in deeply due to the various guarantees made about sizeof(array), &array[0], and ability to cast &array[0] back to the original array. The i

There's nothing of the spirit of the early hacker days in this repo, it's following GH's documentation and cutpasting some tunnelling instructions. I think it says more about the common misunderstanding of what hacking origin
