That mostly a side effect of GitHub's caching mechanism. It's all gone now.

Am I right to assume that NAND flash has higher storage density than magnetic disks? I've been trying to find some definitive data about this but failed so far. I'd really appreciate if someone can point me the right direction to

Cannot sign in the app after installing. No error messages. Nothing happened after clicking the Sign In button. We've been using Stripe for a little more than half a year now. While the product and design is top-notch, the reliability

Try SigmaVPN and ShadowVPN. Very simple and stateless VPN implementations based on libsodium.

What do you expect? One third of CloudFlare's planned data centers are in China [1]. It's commercial suicide to not comply. [1]: https://blog.cloudflare.com/one-more-thing-keyless-ssl-and-c...

OT: I really hate group blogs (more than one author) with byline at the bottom after the content. The subject of the first sentence in the post is "I". I've no idea who this "I" is unless scrolling to the bottom. Pl

Not to defend Google's attitude towards customer service, but you do realize it's inappropriate to post someone's work phone number as a public-facing custom support line, right?

I'm not sure… running a 7MB binary with tons of functionality as PID 1 sounds like a really bad idea. Possibly even worse than the usual complaints against systemd (which has at least process isolations for its various features).

A quick search on www.bloomberg.com shows inconsistent application of the style guide. iPhone is universally styled as "iPhone", while both EBay/eBay and iTunes/ITunes appeared in headlines.

This is truly genius engineering. Initially you would think hybrid vehicles must be more complex and less reliable than conventional vehicles because they have another system to fail, right? Turns out Toyota figured out a way to make hybrid

I guess the next logical step is to build a virtual filesystem such that each connection is represented by a file. Then you can further decouple the connection handling from the actual application. Applications can start later to talk to a

OT is notoriously hard to get right. That's probably why there's little work done around it.

Great work! Relay is really exciting. My concern is regarding the server-side implementation of the GraphQL endpoint. My understanding is that GraphQL endpoints couple tightly to a graph-oriented backend. Facebook already has TAO so it&#x27

"Once you've built a system that understands timezones and offsets from UTC" I think that's the point he's complaining about: it's damn hard to build such a system because of the artificially induced complexity

I would love to know more about this, but AFAIK OS secret stores are mostly a desktop-concept that requires a logged-in user (whose login password is used to decrypt the secret store). On a deployment server, you don't have those.

If the task is to just overwrite existing files without blocking, why not mmap()?

In that case you would say it has a really low signal-to-noise ratio.

(La)TeX the typesetting engine is great, but (La)TeX the language is clunky. Without proper support for namespace, it's rather difficult to abstract and write macros without worrying about side effects. I have real troubles to guess wh

How is it different from Google App Engine? Conceptually the two seem very similar to me, that is, developers do not have to worry about the underling infrastructure at all---just write code and deploy.

Have you tried emulating iBeacon with iDevice or a Mac? I'd consider those to have high quality Bluetooth chips and great antennae. If it is still not ideal, the blame could be on the software stack or maybe the whole idea is flawed :|

I wonder whether the fault is at the iBeacon API/CoreLocation framework or the hardware beacons used? From your description above it sounds to me the hardware beacons are of questionable quality (low quality batteries and bad antenna m
