I want to thank the author for testing this out and doing an implementation. When Mozilla Persona came out I thought it would be cool to make an identity provider which support SSH based auth. I never had much time to work on it so seeing t

This seems like a pretty cool idea. They essentially bolt on a new congestion control strategy onto TCP. It only requires server side changes and doesn't need any changes to either the receivers or the routers or the packet headers. In

What are those proposals? The paper discusses quite a few different alternatives and does performance comparisons. Are there any specific advantages to TCP/NC and CTCP vs: 1. RCP 2. XCP 3. TCP CUBIC 4. FAST TCP 5. Remy Not being in thi

Firefox has a wizard which tells you how to change it the first time you click in the box. If that isn't a good experience for the search box I don't know what is. They have actually significantly enhanced the UX for how searching

Myself as well. However, my experience is that undergrads who are getting there first experience in x86 need their hands held quite a bit. It doesn't help that there are two competing syntaxes for x86 so I have to be careful to make su

Does anyone, (the author?), know the best reference for x86-64 assembly? I have been a loath to teach it to students because there I haven't found great material for it. I use "Programming from the Ground Up"* as my main text

Yeah but no. That is no longer a recursive descent parser it is a hand written Shift-Reduce parser. Nothing wrong with that just a totally different parsing technique. He also covers several other interesting techniques on his blog. However

The real solution to this problem is to properly remove the left recursion. Student's often make the mistake the author did. Let's examine our favorite grammar: E -> E + T | E - T | T T -> T * F

I use Scala at work. I would rather write in Go than in Scala. While there are many things to like in Scala there are also many misfeatures such as the `implicit` key word which can create a lot of spooky action at a distance. Scala is an e

yep. I never meant to imply that rust macros were expanded at runtime. I was trying to use rust as an example of a c-style langauge with a nice macro system.

I feel like you haven't met a lot of Go programmers in that case. The programmers I have met who use Go or are interested in it are often genuinely good programmers. Of course there are "crowd" followers in any language as po

I agree this does solve the `go get` problem. However, a better thing would be to improve `go get` and make it use an actual build system. `go generate` is a step in the right direction but they expect you to check the generated sources in.

I also miss generics in Go. It is especially a pain to implement a nice high performance collections library without them. I have been working on and off on a data-structures library and you have to go through a lot of hoops to make it nice

I personally feel bad for Chet about this whole thing. For those of you (probably most of you) who do not know Chet has been maintaining Bash for free in his spare time for the last 25 years. He began working on it because he was not satisi

To add some balance, I found this article "The Biggest Myths" ( http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-biggest-myths.html ) to be really helpful in sorting out what is going on with systemd. I was a bit sad
