It transitioned to a community project and is active again. The original contributors are still involved, just to a lesser degree.

This is the use case that something like sandstorm.io tries to solve, by locking down system calls on the backend and (slowly but surely) CSP on the frontend. I don’t think BitWarden has been ported yet, though.

I enjoyed reading the source for https://github.com/c4milo/gitd , also in go, as a way to simply wrap the go utilities, add your own auth, and get heroku-like deployments.

My iPhoto photo set is much, much larger than Google Photos storage cap; I just want to share a couple of photos with family. But yeah, that sort of explains it. They're pushing you to just store everything in Google Photos.

I was surprised that Google's iOS app ignores iOS Photos' albums and favorites, and is practically the only app on my phone that doesn't allow me to share a picture into it from the camera/photos app. I went ahead and wr

You can automatically add hooks to new repositories using gitolite.

Using the Caldigit TB3 with a 2019 16" MBP in clamshell mode with two 4k LG monitors through the dock, I've found it pretty tedious trying to wake the monitors from sleep. Sometimes it'll take 30-45s of the monitors going in

That was the mind-boggling part to me. After testing failover and noticing the behavior we had a number of discussions with AWS reps and support engineers that confirmed it. And Aurora's failover documentation hints at it but downplays

Aurora (Postgres) looked like it would be great, and the performance for our use case was much better than RDS. But there was a showstopper for us with the replication: If the cluster leader fails, _every read replica will force a restart_

It's good for simple message passing between services, but has some caveats at scale. One nice thing is that you can read through the source in an afternoon and get a decent understanding of how it works. Segment has a good blog post a

The best part there is that even the intended code is probably insecure, since == will likely open you to timing attacks and should be replaced with a secure comparison function.

ember-concurrency is probably at the top of the list for things I miss most when writing javascript outside of ember.

I didn’t get the sense that the author was passing a value judgment against react for being in a single file. Later on he mentions that he likes the ability to colocate component and template, as it is more flexible.
135.
by mnutt 6y ago
Gatsby can also let you use react components to do some pretty clever things around image resizing, effects, etc that you might expect from a static site generator but couldn’t achieve with just a frontend framework.

That's probably useful in some cases but I'd still recommend pinning the version, since different versions of prettier format code differently and different team members will end up with conflicting changes.

Not to detract from your point, but rails 3 was released with arel in 2010, so it has used a relational query builder for a decade at this point.

I vaguely remember that fly.io used to have a platform based on v8 isolates, I’m guessing the new platform is a bit of a pivot? I’m curious, was it just to support more platforms, or we’re there technical challenges with isolates?

Hopefully this also makes it simpler for users to generate stable URLs for their grains, where desired.

I wasn't trying to assert that ruby is faster, just trying to correct the notion that python is an inherently faster language than ruby. If I look at a composite benchmark like debian's and don't see one leading by an order o

OneMedical used to be that way in NYC, now the Manhattan locations often have no appointment slots for a few days and you’ll have to go out to a Brooklyn location to get same-day or next-day care.

I don’t think one can say that python is faster than ruby: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... I think the perception is there because of python’s scientific and ML libraries that have a lot

It seems like their gitlab.com uptime isn't that relevant when the question was about self-hosted CI. And while I don't like the idea of telemetry in self-hosted products either, calling it "corporate espionage" is hyper

Node is pretty good for managing HTTP requests as long as the responses aren't too large. But parsing data, especially html/xml, is CPU-intensive in node and probably not a great fit.

I've been hoping that the Cloudflare folks will open source parts of their Workers; they seem to have figured out a secure, performant way to run untrusted javascript at scale.

I’d be curious to hear more about the circumstances that ended up with a blocked runloop. Are there hundreds of junior engineers, or perhaps third parties writing code that you don’t control? I have seen people accidentally write blocking c

I meant build system, such as cmake. I assume the alternative to a single-header library would be lots of .c and .h files, and something to build them into a dynamically-linked library. The alternative, just dumping them into your project,

by mnutt 7y ago
To elaborate on the other responses, “single-header” means “one-line import into your project”, and since c doesn’t have a standard module system, the alternative means hooking up the library’s module system to yours, or otherwise separatel

The jackets have the letters sewn on rather than printed on, but I think the person who ordered them just said “give me whatever green letters you have” which was why they weren’t on brand, and also part of the charm.

No, I don't remember specifically but I likely shared them with a bunch of people and after all we were LimeWire...
