I don't understand what responsibility a reviewer has to a company, other than acting and reviewing honestly. It's a VC-funded startup with lots of cash, right? Did Brownlee misrepresent something about their product?

Why are you conflating the extremely broken tipping culture/minimum wage system in the US and a multi-billion-dollar company's revenue strategy?

Close, but Eclipse actually has its own toolkit: SWT.

Ack, I ran into a similar issue when writing a github webhook. It might be related to JWT handling if it's the same issue. If you recall that exact issue, definitely feel free to file an issue.

https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues is the ideal place -- we try to triage all incoming issues, the more specific the repro the easier it is to address but we will take a look at everything that comes in.

If there are any specific places where Deno didn't support a node API, please file a bug -- we definitely shoot for as close to node.js as possible, and if you have to modify your code that's most often on us. (I'm a deno cor

Sqlite3 is universal, but now your spec is entirely reliant on Sqlite3's format and all the quirks required to support that. If you actually care about the future, spec out your own database format and use that instead. It could even b

I have a setup on a Pi for deploying progscrape.com that has a systemd task to boot a new runner in a container. I really need to turn it into a bare-metal deployment script so I can recover from an SD card crash. Basically this service:

How is this EU policy frivolous? Clearly there is 1) anti-competitive behaviour and 2) actual harms from Apple's actions. On top of that, their record for Apple:EU battles is what? N:0?

"for one" or "for once"?

Great to see all of this work brought together like this. I looked into some of these solutions earlier and the licensing status of doing this is pretty grey and likely violates some of the toolchain licenses. For personal use, that's

samply is pretty sweet. It's been my go-to for Deno work for the last year or so.

I think I have .txt files kicking around the NAS somewhere... I bet they are on archive.org as well.

I moved from AppEngine hosting to self-hosting (on a Pi). The server was expensive to run on AppEngine and effectively free to run at home. The CPU barely ticks up, even when running a load test.

Interesting project: they are trading lower raw throughput in compute-heavy applications for lower latency at startup and (likely) better behaviour w.r.t memory and "random GC jank". If you are writing an I/O bound JS service

I've rewritten two personal, non-trivial projects in Rust and both have been successful. The most recent Python -> Rust conversion did take a bit more time than expected but it's stable and has already saved me a few hundred in

I suppose C++ devs are on the correct side of the demand curve, unlike myself. :D I was _really_ tempted to take a C++ job at some point but I held out.

I love writing Rust, but I was really surprised by how difficult it was to find a job _actually_ writing Rust. I'm happy to see the increased activity in the space, but searching for a job in Rust is probably still 10x harder than C or

This was quite a bit more helpful than the paper itself, thanks.

The domain-specific notation in this paper is inscrutable to me. I assume that this means a possible "Minshara class" planet (as Gene would say) around a star much different than our own, in that the distance from its sun and inso

There seems to be a convincing debunking thread on Twitter, but I definitely don't have the chops to evaluate either claim: https://twitter.com/Ethan_smith_20/status/175306260429219874...

Cool concept and project. I don't know if browsers are capable of doing the flash reliably. I tried it out (non-epileptic and curious), and you can see that it's not a reliable 40Hz flash on either Chrome or Firefox. I haven'

Perhaps profits-at-the-expense-of-everything-else is _not_ the right way we should be running the show.

There's a long runway from "early market" to "total domination" to make money for investors. Nobody is shutting down the ability of limited or emerging markets to extract value, but once you reach Apple's size

Yes, 100%. But the size of the corp dictates the priority of the action. That puts Apple and Microsoft at the top of the list.

Apple needs a Microsoft-2000s-era slapdown to put them in their place. Regardless of your thoughts on the situation, a mega/giga-corp flaunting the spirit of the rules is a bad sign for the future.
