Do you know about http://asciidoctor.org/ ? It's asciidoc tuned to look a lot more like Markdown and they also have a JS renderer, browser extensions, ... Might be useful to you

How is it net neutrality complicated ? ISP's business is to give reliable Internet access to paying customers and that's how it always worked (or supposed to). Content providers like Youtube and Netflix do exactly the same thing o

My understanding is that it's all automated for level 1 trust where you can only generate basic single-domain SSL certs. I don't remember getting a call.

It's not like they invented the pricing during heartbleed, it was always out there. StartSSL can make the certificate for free because their infrastructure is all automated. You don't know if certificate revocation requires human

> yet somehow most businesses can still restrain themselves and do not follow me around Hmm no. It's just harder to do but they are working on it. Any big shop uses tons of tracking on every level. Pay by CC or use your fidelity car

That's pretty cool. I was thinking of bundling a default.nix in the root of my projects with maybe a recipes/ folder for things like ruby, libxml2, ... It's definitely possible to do that and even link to nixpkgs but then you

Nix doesn't provide the source package metadata and publishing infrastucture that CPAN/rubygems/pypi provide. In fact nixpkgs is a consumer of those infrastructures. On the client side, nix expressions' dependency resolu

http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ is not as old (1996) but is also pretty cool. I wish they had more funding to explore that idea that the web should be editable (as long as you have the authorization to PUT).

I think we're operating on a different definition of "language". Unlike natural languages a programming language has extension points to define new vocabulary, it doesn't mean that all available words are part of the lan

Anyone followed what was going on ? The meeting seem to have ended now.

JSON is annoying with the commas. One forgotten comma or comma too much and the whole file doesn't parse.

The problem is when unexpected variables are overwritten. It would be better to have a mandatory list of allowed variables that can be extracted. $login = '1234'; extract(array('login'=>true, 'messsage&

A thread is created for blocking syscalls. I don't know if it's a syscall under the hood here but he might be talking about that.

I agree that the article fails to expose the main issues properly but JavaScript in the browser, in it's current implementation is harmful. It gives you a false sense of security. The biggest issue is that the crypto code can be change

On the other side of the spectrum, what improvements could be added to JavaScript the assembly language to make it easier and more efficient to target to ?

Individual blob access is not very reliable on S3. In a previous company uploading big-ish (1-10000MB) files was part of the service. We would see failing uploads or slow writes all the time. Make sure to queue and wrap your upload script w

It's pretty cool but I don't think that it's open-source.

Just linking processes together is not enough to build a cluster. How do you allocate the physical resources, deal with network splits, package and deploy new code, monitor... There's a whole layer that's missing there that would

If some code runs orders of magnitude slower it's the same as being incompatible. Yes you might execute an ASM.JS game on older browsers but at 1FPS it's not enjoyable.

Has anything been done to locate and disable existing tapping devices installed by the NSA ? What has been put in place to harden existing infrastructures from intrusion by rogue actors ?

Is this going to be open source ? Unless the code is verifiable by third parties and we have reproducible builds then trust is just transferred to Bittorrent Inc.

It's possible to send a channel over a channel in go. This allows to for example to pass in the response channel of a message. It's possible to pass in file descriptors on unix sockets but it only works locally.

Yeah I get what you mean. If you forget that "throws" comment then the Java code is opaque to the exception. I think Go developer see a value in having errors exposed explicitly, it forces them to think about how to handle them in

The readConfig example is not really an issue in go. Just return the io error and type switch after the readConfig. if config, err := readConfig(ioReader); err != nil { switch err.(type) { case io.ErrClosedPipe: &#

It would be nice if there was a github/remote integration. `nix-pkg -i github.com/my/project` would clone the repo and install the dependencies found in the deps.nix file in the root of the repo. Right now, versions are just

Just bought this recently. I feel that I got my money back with all the time won over Google searches multiple times already. The low latency and absence of unrelated results helps me stay in the flow. For me the trick was to assign a globa

Andreessen hits a point when he says what foreign government knew full well that they where spied upon. We have to remember that those revelations are for the public. Given how easy it was for Snowden to acquire these documents it's no
