It's great to have more options, but people might be interested in the org-mode support of pandoc: https://pandoc.org/org.html This enables .e.g. transformation of org-mode files with latex templates, to html slides or

The links to the full paper in your second link led me to a 404 page. Found it here: https://svs.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/publications/2018/2018... looks interesting, thanks!

Yes, but the proportions between "bad", lets rather call them inexperienced, "coders" and experienced coders varies strongly in different ecosystems. PHP and JavaScript both democratized programming, as BASIC did years b

Are you aware of the HCL2 specification at https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl2/blob/master/hcl/hclsyntax/... ? It also provides a validator, even for custom schema definitions.

Could you elaborate on the differences to HCL? It looks almost the same on first glance. Maybe minus functions and and nested blocks in HCL.

No, because the provider would be in the position to change the SRI hashes. Sub Resource Integrity protects you against malicious CDNs and so on, but needs a non-compromised HTML page to provide correct hashes. You could however probably pr

Mostly because it uses a kernel module instead of a pure user-space daemon using `tun` drivers.

Mostly speed, a more minimal configuration syntax, more modern crypto. OpenVPN works fine, is quite portable and runs in user space. It's quite a lot slower, but is well-tested and can be managed with a Certificate Authority in organis

Can you provide an example of the things, OCaml makes more complicated and explain which languages you compare it to? I guess it's quite different in comparison to C, C++ or maybe Rust than to other garbage-collected 'system progr

One of the reason I'd prefer WebDAV to FTP from an operational perspective is that WEBDAV needs just one port open whereas FTP needs either connection tracking, which does not work with TLS, or an open port range for its passive connec

I got my x220 for 150€ plus 70€ (3 years ago, still running smooth) for a new replacement battery, so it's not directly comparable. The x220 might be a bit heavier but it's not too bad and I got a x86 cpu (i5-2540M) with 8GB of me

Is the encryption for Riot.im out of Beta yet? Last time I've looked, about 4 month ago, it came with a big warning. Besides that it had no real concept of identity tied to account or so but generated a new key each time someone opened

To clarify: Keybase.io, like Signal, Whatsapp and Telegram above, is encrypted but not P2P - all of them rely on centralized servers.
