For Python, you can get most packages as non-root via `pip install --user $package` - but you are right, you might need root if these packages depend on system libraries (that they often wrap). However, it maybe should not be a requiremen

There is something seriously wrong with your number (struggling to serve 20 people). I do not have experience with Ruby, but I think it's similar to Python (in performance) and even if it's let's say 5 times slower (which I d

Does anybody know something about the main differences to the first edition? Is it the same HACK computer (and stack, with assembler, high-level language, etc.), or did they change that? The original architecture had some caveats - e.g. no

You are doing that a lot recently, so a disclaimer would be nice (that you built it and also run a dev business around it). Not that IHP is bad (the batteries included approach for sure is a good idea), it just feels a little bit disingenuo

You underestimate how hard it is in large companies to actually speak to the people in charge that can help you concerning your problem.

Did users pay a not unsignificant amount (let's say > 25) for restricted monthly API usage? Because because if they were on a free plan, why did they get API access anyway - that does not sound sustainable.

Congratulations to the release. I am a little bit skeptic about your running example, the "ML Editor". A model that helps you asking "good" questions, e.g. on StackOverflow. Isn't that like an extremely complicated

Unreal is not really open-source and has a restrictive license.

It is indeed a cool project. However I am interested how they make money? Their apps seem to have IAPs, or how does their business-model work?

Ok, I admit that 99% was exaggerating, but you sure should make availability of gitlab.com your main focus - and you promise that for years to the users (linking at issues etc.). Btw.: Your links are http, and the https version has `SSL_ERR

GitHub's uptime is way better than GitLab. I am not really sure gitlab.com even reaches 99% availability (not to mention 99.9%). GitLab may well be focused on providing full-stack dev-services (VCS, build-server, CI and stuff), but in

How does that differ from $ ssh -R2345:localhost:80 user@example.com And then going to example.com:2345 (if you want to e.g. forward HTTP)? I mean you need a remote node anyway for that to work?

Yes - it's probably the case, because there is nice theory behind it (DFAs for lexing and grammars for parsing). What I can really recommend (and me and others have recommended it already countless times) is TECS: The elements of compu

My humble opinion: do not get the Dragon book - it puts too much focus on parser theory and implementation which is in my opinion not the hard part of compiler construction. Most modern languages use a handwritten recursive descent parser
