This is really cool. Seems like there are only indexers for Flow and Hack though. Will there be more indexers built by Facebook, or will it rely on community contributions?

There is a lot of negativity here, but for once I'm going to defend Google. I've been using Linux on all my (non-mobile) devices for a long time, but I'm excited about the potential of Fuchsia as a general purpose (including

If you are willing to go a bit more hands on: * Use a CDN which provides access logs (AWS Cloudfront, logs are stored in S3, Azure supports this too i think) * Feed those logs into a self-hosted analytics solution, like goatcounter [1] [1

The "Go is like C" comparison never made any sense to me. Go has a sophisticated runtime with transparent N:M threading and built-in concurrency primitives, Interfaces, garbage collection and a large standard library. Go is only s

Loom and Valhalla both seem to be very powerful new features for the JVM that seem to take forever to land. Valhalla was first announced in 2014, and Loom in 2017. Does anyone have some insight on when either of these might finally be ready

That repo is for Yarn v1. V2 (now v3 ...) lives at https://github.com/yarnpkg/berry . No idea why they did it that way. Probably because Yarn 1 is still very actively used, and things would get confusing otherwise.

IIRC one of the original claims was to skip libc and do syscalls manually, like Go used to do on Linux. So listing it makes sense in that context.

There is a very practical reason: Starlink. Launching all those Starlink sats on Falcon 9 must be much more expensive than they would like, and Starship aims to provide a considerably higher payload capacity with much lower cost (if the re-

Element sells business plans. [1] In addition, Matrix has been chosen for quite a few large deployments by governments, so there presumably are large-ish support contracts associated with those. If that's enough to justify a 30 Million
