It's not nearly as thorough as this site, but I'm reminded strongly of 'The New Turing Omnibus', which has been on the Cambridge (UK) Computer Science pre-undergrad reading list for many years: http://blog.cod

So many questions. But to start... What are these powered by? Does the PLGA dissolving also break down the silicone? Edit: Ah. This article (from 2014) seems to have a little more detail: https://medicine.wustl.edu/news&#x2F

Any comment on why normal accounts can't ZFS send/recv? Is it because there isn't one filesystem per customer? Is that something that could be done, feasibly? Would be curious to hear. :)

Looks very interesting, especially if community involvement ramps up to patch over the relatively rough[0] open sourcing that's happened here. The blog post seems more descriptive of 'what' and not 'how' any of this

You find the 'hottest' code (usually a loop, the code executed most) and examine very carefully the generated assembly for that and how it can be made more CPU/JIT/VM-friendly. This is an optimisation you perform when a

Yup, I've been using Akka Typed myself recently. Having said that it doesn't change the fact that Akka preserves types in most arbitrary hierarchies today , across machine boundaries.

Akka preserves types across machine boundaries, at least inasmuch as the External Term Format does, AFAIK. Would you say that it's missing something?

A common-enough rhetoric in discussion with folks from VCs does definitely seem to involve the 'areas they are currently interested in'. A sibling comment to mine bears this out slightly with the 'security is not our sweet sp

A few options: - Enter for newline and Shift-Enter for new entry (and Alt/Cmd-Shift-Enter for new child)? This would retain your multiline discoverability. I would be careful with Alt, as it makes CrushPaper awkward to use on Macs, whe

This is nice, but the core keyboard shortcuts are (or so I find) painful and needlessly complex to use. :/ A comparison: Workflowy -> CrushPaper Enter -> Alt+s Enter -> Alt+u/b Enter + Tab -> Alt+c This feels like it w
