Personally I believe this sort of post is lacking real data: true the mentioned user only has 6 tabs in Safari, but what about other apps? How many other apps are running at the background? I mentioned those because last week I forgot my ch

I definitely agree! While I was reading about Rust couple of weeks ago I was thinking maybe exposing the compiler's detail would help refactoring and diagnosing bugs here. It's so awesome that you guys have already think of this!

I actually agree, it's not that hard, yes one can definitely grasp that with some efforts. But my point really is: the time from start learning Rust till when you can deliver your project is definitely longer than many other languages

I might be wrong but one possible explanation is that the language is so hard to learn that people would need tools to help in the beginning. Within Mozilla, they can use servo as a selling point or turn to creators for help, but from the o

Yeah that tcc, should've mentioned that in my original post, thanks for the tip!

I wish we could have a web assembly backend for tcc. Emscripten is awesome indeed, but having a lightweight C compiler allows for many possibilities, such as online compilation within the browser. If only I had enought time I would try doin

While I do agree that six month is not quite long, there's another issue: in the RFC PR, most of discussions took place before Mar 27, which is 10 days after when the RFC was submitted. Then there were a few comments on on Apr 28, and

Yes, we could argue that user should use more secure password, but on the other hand, I always wonder why startups these days are still busy rolling out their own custom account management than leveraging OAuth or hosted solution like Auth0

Thanks for this! Really awesome stuff! One question here: how tight the compiler is binded to OCaml semantics? Besides Reason, do you think it's possible to build a frontend for other languages and integrate the backend of BuckleScript

Honestly I think unit tests and interactive debuggers are really for different purposes: unit tests are more used to guard existing code that has been written, while a debugger can be more useful tinkering with new libraries before writing

I agree, it's essentially an inline assembler, but the fact that it integrates so well with SBCL tells us that the SBCL team really did an awesome job here.

This is actually one example I'd like to refer to when people are talking that alternative languages with macros can achieve Lisp's flexibility: https://www.pvk.ca/Blog/2014/08/16/how-to-define-

An interesting case for #3, is that something similar exists in the Ruby world( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hfMUP5iTq8 ), but I don't think it's gaining wide adoption, there're certainly people using it bu

Awesome, thanks for the answer! In that case I will wait a bit(already signed up for the form but didn't got a reply).

I dunno, I think what you are describing is a practical stack, not a minimal one. For me, a minimal stack is just an HTML file(possible with a JS file as well) that loads React and Firebase via CDN, and then relies on browser's shipped

by xuejie 10y ago
I'm not sure how practical this can be, one advantage of having an RPC, is that it allows for cross-language communication. In this case, won't it be nicer to invest in a rust port of grpc instead of building this?

https://github.com/Jon-Biz/simple-static-react-firebase/blob... Sorry, but with those many dependencies, I could hardly call that minimal.

Totally agree, to me Github and Gitlab are so similar that there really is no point in arguing which one to use, just pick either one and you should be okay. On the other hand, Phabricator is a solution that contains a much more variety of

To me, the difference between GCE and AWS really has to do with "openness": while I do admit GCE machines can be faster and cheaper, you only feel like you are treated somewhat equally as the big corps when using AWS. For example,

I think the benchmark on LuaJIT website shows this a little bit: http://luajit.org/performance_x86.html If you consider LuaJit 1.x to be a baseline JIT, the interpreter mode of LuaJit 2.0 is actually on par there. EDIT: act

Not an expert here so I might be wrong, but I've been reading about Framework7( http://framework7.io/ ) lately, which uses both virtual list and native scrolling. So maybe you might not have to implement custom scrolling

While I do agree that game is a bad example, the argument still holds IMHO. Ethereum has been advertised from the very beginning that it is a decentralized platform where the only rule/law will be the code, and no one authority can con

To develop things like Chrome, a mac won't be enough as well. Chances are you will need a powerful desktop beast anyway, in this case, a Chromebook can be a super handy addition for checking emails, browsing the Internet, not to mentio

I'm sorry but I just don't get this, in your previous comment, you mentioned: You are more than free to re-implement anything Rails does yourself and release it as a gem. Modularity and flexibility are built right in. And right

Just out of curiosity: what limitations of Ruby 1.9.3 is critical in your case? Not to start a flame war, but according to my experience, Ruby 1.9 is already quite good, later versions of Ruby only introduce minor syntax & semantic chan

Zydis builds cleanly on most platforms without any external dependencies. You can use CMake to generate project files for your favorite C++14 compiler. I don't want to be mean here, but I think CMake + C++14 already ruled out many pl

Unfortunately I don't see much material written in English at the moment. To your technical question, I'm not that familiar with FoundationDB to comment, but I can tell the author's intent is building an open source solution

I know the authors of this project also read Hacker News, so it probably is better if we wait till them to state their motives. But I suppose I could give a brief first, since most of the confusing comments are due to language barriers(sorr
