I am highly disappointed by Nginx in three major areas: 1. They created a paid version that has some additional basic features such as cache purging, dynamic upstream name resolution, and a few others…
comment
Okay, but you have to escape this in the Nginx config! Same issue with Lua! And this is terrible!
comment
How can essential Git features be a mismatch? For example, the CI can sign release tags, and you can deploy them with confidence. GitHub is not a small company. Gitolite is developed mainly by a singl…
comment
Coming from a custom Gitolite [0] setup where I was able to protect branches and reject commits and do other basic or complex stuff with ease, GitHub looks like a joke. Their "improved" perm…

I think having multiple options is always a bad idea for a language. It complicates the syntax and make people ask why not make parenthesis optional for loop statements as well? Then they perceive thi…
comment
Why are parentheses optional for functions? The big thing one can borrow from Python 3 is that there should be one way of doing something to save the community the endless unproductive fights of which…

I am talking about an email server, not an email client.
comment
... except that it doesn't have basic stuff like email. For that I use Mail-in-a-Box [0], but I would love to see both projects merging. [0] https://mailinabox.email/ …

A bit unfair as Java has BigDecmial.
comment
Are disabled people subhuman, because they don't have free mobility? Never said anything like that - only that your illness affects the reasoning, i.e. the will as well. It doesn't have to b…

I doubled a mentally ill person has anything resembling "free will"...

I have the same FastMail plan, but I want to create mailboxes for different users. In this case, FastMail is definitely cost-prohibitive for me.
comment
Well, true, but still has less stuff than Sovereign [0] and that's why I like it better. But I agree that they should probably split it into two (or more!) containers. [0] https://gith…
comment
Yes, to me this is some kind of logorrhoea (or "diarrhea of the mouth"). I think even TempleOS sounds more clearly than Urbit...

42 makes even more sense now...
comment
I do pay for my personal account to FastMail, but I still predominantly use Gmail. In fact, I pay for FastMail just to keep the address. For some side projects, it gets really expensive for me and for…

"Supervised learning" makes me even more excited about M, because pure AI at this point won't be so useful.
comment
And that's why trading needs fees, otherwise craziness follows.
comment
True, it's just that Gitter is so much better for development. Yet, developers are still pushing Slack. Anyway, wasn't Gitter open-source in the beginning though [0]? [0] https://…
comment
Slack has some major design flaws. It's not developer-friendly either. I really don't get why hackers are not pushing for Gitter! It has SSO, it's developer-friendly, it's cheaper,…
comment
Which is weird. The volume has greatly increased in China, but we've never trusted their published numbers before. This is yet another China-driven rally - beware of the sudden drops we know very…
comment
How is it better than Ceylon 1.2? Ceylon compiles to JVM bytecode, JavaScript, Dart, and will to LLVM in the future. As a language, it's a great superset of Java. I posted [0] about the great new…

Again, Computer Science! There's no such thing as "dynamic type variables" in Math!
