   Part of the reason I think this happened is because ST just switched to a custom syntax format that compliments the new parallel regex engine. Before Jon could work with the open-source Textmate language definitions. By mass converting them

   It seems to me a pretty realistic estimate that Jon is doing rather well off of Sublime Text nowadays. However, he's been working on it for over 8 years. I've gotten the impression that some of the early times were very lean and h

   Also note that s2n links with OpenSSL (or LibreSSL, BoringSSL) for the ciphers and ASN.1 functionality. At first I was really surprised/impressed/worried that they managed to pull off an ASN.1 parser in C along with TLS is just 6,

   Whenever I've ordered a roast beef sandwich anywhere else, the meat is served cold. This has been echoed by acquaintances. You've had warm roast beef sandwiches in the south also? Mostly just curious! I completely understand somet

   I wonder how prevalent distinctly regional sandwiches are in different parts of the US. I've grown up on the North Shore of Boston and around here we have "Roast Beef" shops. From what I understand, the roast beef you get is

   Yes, I'd be happy to, but I'm not sure they are "solvable" issues, because they seem to be more of architectural mismatches. Part of the issue with most software that uses MinGW is that it is written with posix-y operati

   I was impressed by the toolchain when I first peaked at Go because it was dead simple to get up and running on any platform, especially Windows. For gcc you have to deal with MinGW. Isn't LLVM just now getting to the point where it can

   Also note that dealing with family photos on iCloud might be a pain/impossible. I spent time trying to figure out a good way to pool our photos from multiple devices, but ended up settling on using Dropbox and Carousel. There were some

    I was thinking the same thing, but iCloud accounts can't be shared very easily/well between devices. I spent a bunch of time researching, but ended up shelling out for Dropbox Pro and Carousel on our multiple phones. Then I use se

    Are you using Windows? That sounds like a Windows filesystem locking issue. It is a constant pain in my side and the source of lots of extra code in Package Control.

    I'd appreciate it if you could take the time to report issues that you find with Package Control - I looked and couldn't find a single bug report from you. I guess sometimes it is easier to complain on HN than submit bug reports.

    That sounds like a bum package, or a corrupted install. If you are using Package Control you can copy the Packages/User/ folder to a fresh install and install Package Control to try fixing it. PC will do a fresh reinstall of missi

    Here is an overview of the exceptions to the standard VAT rates: https://github.com/wbond/vat_moss-python/blob/master/vat_mos... Those two libraries contain the logic to determine if a user is in one of

    by wbond 12y ago

    Well, I would say it is a bit more complicated than a dictionary with rates. You have to deal with all of the VAT rate exceptions, for instance the Azores, Jungholz, Heligoland, Livigno, etc. And then you have to collect two non-contradicto

    I think ignorance is almost exclusively why non-EU companies didn't use VoES. I never heard of it until this fall when I started hearing rumblings of VAT MOSS. When starting a small business where you sell digital goods, one of the las

    So in the example, is Cloudflare proxying to http://example.com or https://example.github.io ? In the case of the former, wouldn't we be setting a false sense of security since the request is traversing the inter

    Whenever there are discussions about scaling and performance, I think it is useful to at least reference the TechEmpower benchmarks as a data point. https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r9&hw=p... I

    I currently use 5TB a month. I pay $80 with Linode. If I switched to AWS, as of yesterday I would have payed $630 for November. I am not understanding how my comparison is wrong.

    I'm currently at 5TB of my 8TB cap and Linode hasn't batted an eye.

    AWS and most other cloud providers have prohibitively expensive bandwidth compared to Linode's bundled bandwidth. With Linode you get a free server to boot! Just yesterday I compared a VM with 8gb ram moving 4.4TB of data. With Linode

    I thought about that issue, but then I would need to detect the country a user is coming from before I show them a price. So now I am into geo-ip for basic web visitors, and even then sometimes the price will be wrong. If I do it at checkou
