Having debug symbols enabled should be the default in my opinion. Especially in a partially self-compiled distribution like NixOS. The threshold to submitting bugs should be low. Unf I'm seeing a unicorn (GitHub fail whale) currently,

I wrote a small test function. It appears that Scala.js has no default protections against null values from the browser DOM. def printNodes(targetNode: dom.Node): Unit = { var c = targetNode.firstChild while (c != null)

One of the main points of the blog is that Scala.js integrates well with the JavaScript apis and those apis are full of null. A typical loop in the DOM looks like this: var node = element.firstChild; while (node) { /&

The code examples use ==, which does lossy comparison. Using === is much safer. The tools section mentions JSLint which flags any use of == as an error. JavaScript is such a quirky language that I always want the code to pass JSLint and Clo

Another project is OdpDown. It converts Markdown to Opendocument Format presentations in contrast to the PDF that is created by Marp. I like the approach of creating a single static file (i.e. no JavaScript). An advantage of creating ODP fi

Calligra uses this approach to parse most of the binary Microsoft Office files. The grammar for this is quite daunting. This approach has the advantage that there is clear separation between the content description and the parser generator.

A simple measure to achieve this: a company that has x % market share should pay x % taxes on their profits. New companies are encouraged and old slow ones are discouraged.

Unlike Attic, Bup, and Borg, Obnam does not use rolling checksums. Rolling checksums are a brilliant way to do efficient deduplication. The bup DESIGN document explains how rolling checksums can be used. https://github.com/b

This is an amazing demo. The performance is very smooth on Firefox 45. The animations are beautiful and editing the QML and running it is a lot of fun. Thank you for such a great port.

Many filesystems compress data. Unless the compression is done on block level, reading the last bytes of file that is transiently compressed is much more expensive than reading the first part.

I did some quick checks to investigate how size helps with deduplication. Size is a fast initial differentiator because scanning for file size only needs to read metadata, but how good does it differentiate? # all files find ~ -type f
