As a ring [1] contributor, would be curious to hear if it could satisfy your crypto requirements. Using it could maybe help with your "(oh-my-dear-god I can not unsee what I saw in there, the C…

It is, indeed, also on Android. I use it there constantly, works great. Back in the Google Reader demise days, I tried pretty much everything that was available, and NewsBlur was clearly the best. I&#…

Meanwhile, Firefox Sync encrypts your data with a password-derived key so that Mozilla can't even see your browsing history. Consider your choices.

I would argue that the language will benefit from having more diverse feedback.

Lots (and I mean, lots!) of automated tests, until you have 95%+ coverage.

Maybe have a look at this Mozilla stuff? http://blog.humphd.org/thimble-and-bramble/

Even if this is supposed to be funny (I can't tell, so I think you may have failed if so), I'd like to correct you and say that what makes Gentoo tick doesn't hinge on GNU at all. We ca…

I actually tried to upload my 1800 lines out of output, and GitHub fails to parse it. Was thinking exactly the same thing wrt keyservers.

We use Jira, GitLab and Slack in our agile teams at work. I've written some automation that listens to GitLab webhooks and (a) announces new Merge Requests in the #team-review channel, which all …

I've started using this a few months ago on my mail server that mostly just forwards stuff to GMail, and it's been really good. It catches (and rejects) most of the bad stuff before it even …

I think Debian's long release cycles don't make much sense in this day and age. To me, a rolling release model makes much more sense, especially in this world where security updates are bein…

But isn't it true that some of the things you ended up doing would make sense for LLVM, or would most of them be invalidated by the kinds of optimization passes that are common in LLVM? E.g. stuf…

Nice story. I have similar feelings about my own attempt, Runa ( https://github.com/djc/runa ), in particular about just how large a language (ecosystem) has to be in order to be v…

I was a Mercurial crew member for a few years (2008 to I don't know) and was very happy to be able to learn from Matt in his role as BDFL. His principled stance against layering violations and hi…

This is awesome! I have had a Let's Encrypt private beta email sitting in my email for a while, but didn't want to install the client because it has so many dependencies. Are you sure it doe…

I completed CS, but failed lots of courses the first time around. I think I did some exams 5 times before I passed (this might be easier in Dutch universities than in the US system). I put off my Mast…

ActiveVideo - Hilversum (near Amsterdam, The Netherlands) or San Jose (California) - Full Time - ONSITE, we can help with relocation/VISA ActiveVideo is going through a growth phase right now. We…

Would be interesting to also look at Mangos, a Go reimplementation of the nanomsg protocol. https://github.com/gdamore/mangos …

I liked Michael Lopp's (also known as Rands, from Rands in Repose) book, Managing Humans, when I first became a team lead 18 months ago. http://www.amazon.com/Managing-Humans-Humo…

On number 9: "Apple's laptop sales will exceed those of HP/Compaq, IBM, Dell and Gateway combined by 2010" So, the prediction mentions "laptop sales", but in his grading,…

I don't really understand why important targets like x86/x86-64 and ARM don't appear at all in the release notes. It seems unlikely that no work at all was done for them...

I tried to package and run Seafile, but it was kind of complex, and under-documented. Also, the first time I got it to run on my server, it ran my Linux server into the ground (IIRC it kept the CPU so…

Wonder what Mike Pall will be up to next...

I don't really understand this. "Private Cloud", to me, means a cloud that only I have access too. If you actually have access to my infrastructure, what's "private" abou…

I have some experience with the Mercurial code base, which I thought was pretty well engineered. It's not PEP 8, though, so that makes it slightly idiosyncratic. Might make an interesting compari…

Those who like this might also like my language project, Runa: A Python-like systems programming language. This means that the design borrows as much from Python as makes sense in the context of a sta…
