I love "AXFR". It lets me AX FR the whole zone in one go.

No, they're embarking on a known folly. Everyone keeps banging on about open offices because they're awful, and for 25 years we've all been stuck in them.

This is exactly my feeling. I don't want generics if I have to pay anything for them in build time, or if it limits go/ast or go/types. A lack of generics has been a pain point a couple of times in my current project (beyond

This is a really nice looking stylesheet. I'd almost certainly use it the next time I needed to share some content, but unfortunately it has some pretty janky FOUT and FOIT issues for me here in Australia. I'm no CSS guru, so the

This is an extremely helpful explanation. Would you consider adding a "Rationale" subheading to the readme and pasting this in wholesale? Great project, thanks for sharing!

Plenty of times! The situation where a library released to third parties requires internal structural changes is not an uncommon one. What do you do? Break every piece of third party code or satisfy the new structure and the old interface s

So when your choice is for the worst or the less worse, vote less worse! We don't have to like it (though that'd be nice), just prefer it. Case in point: the original plan for the NBN was vastly preferable to this scandal ;)

Oh, I was joking about .moe, etc - I reckon .geo would be far more useful! But my main question about the moon was quite serious - how would you access the moon with this? I couldn't quite understand how this part from the executive su

Neat! Speaking of galaxy far, far away, the executive summary only mentions other planets in passing. I couldn't quite grok from scanning how you might access cells from the moon with this TLD. .aero may be questionable, but surely the

"The vim-surround plugin is so useful that it should probably be built into Vim." I couldn't agree with this more. Also undotree [1] should be built into Vim as well. Vim represents undo/redo under the hood as a tree, wh

Mozilla seem to be falling into the same trap as the internet in general, albeit a good long while later. Just a little bit of tracking here, how is that harmful? Just a little bit of tracking there, too. It's really not a problem. Tel

What if "paid_available == False" the first time, but later, "paid_available == True"? Is the "standard, Open Source, two-clause BSD" license that applies at first invalidated?

Medium is shocking for this. I added this to my uBlock custom filters list and now it's not a problem any more: ! medium dickbars and other bullshit: ##.u-clearfix.metabar ##.metabar ##.js-stickyFooter ##.highligh

Have you written anything complex with Go?

Oh god yes. 16:9 is an absolute deal breaker for me. After the task bar, tool bar, menu bar, ridiculously oversized fixed position website nav bar, "up next: more related garbage" fixed position pseudo-ad footer and whatever else

Nice to see the old "oops we didn't bother to check the if the 'subscribed' column was true when we imported the mailing list" trick isn't beneath GitHub either.

This is especially funny considering the huge discussion recently about rewriting curl and then the entire world in Rust, but imagine you lived in a world where the magical "better tool" already existed and all you had to do was d

This is becoming far too common. It seems like every good long read I see these days is on a site affected by this problem. Even the tiniest scroll jump causes these things to appear and disappear, moving or obscuring the relevant content u

Yep it was eventually resolved midway through 2016, D'Amore stepped up, then stepped down, then stepped up again. The link I cited is not a commentary on the current status of nanomsg, it is more to illustrate Sustrik's role in th

Hmm true, my language was a bit ambiguous. I meant it was abandoned by Sustrik [1], even if some of the community are doing the best they can manage to keep it alive. [1] http://www.freelists.org/post/nanomsg/Ne

Didn't notice this on my first read, but this is by Martin Sustrik. Sustrik is a former ZeroMQ contributor and, more recently, author of the abandoned zmq alternative nanomsg [1], as well as the libmill [2] and libdill [3] lightweight

Watch out! Some of this code may be GPL-encumbered. The decoder for JSMpeg is based in part on "Java MPEG-1 Video Decoder and Player" [1], which is licensed under the GPLv2. I am not a lawyer, but an argument could be made that th

Does the additional speed increase the stress on the airframe or is that more than offset by the reduced flight time?
