What's more concerning IMO is that despite the fact that I can't find a CLA, their pricing page claims that if you buy their support contract that they'll give you the software under a "Commercial" license: https:&

I worked on this while on the Instagram Server Framework team to leverage LibCST and solve some of Instagram's own problems. We took a lot of inspiration from other lint frameworks (notably, Flake8 and ESLint). I left the team before m

Sure, there's probably less exposure from nuking the profiles directory, but I don't think you're being fair to containers: - Containers are a feature built into Firefox, these extensions just expose a UI for it. The Multi-Ac

As others have mentioned, Digital Ocean and Linode would probably be good options here. If you're looking for something even smaller and cheaper than $5/mo, I've had luck with BuyVM. They've very cheap, have good custo

A large amount of that 1.5 MB of code is to shim around the incompatibilities between different versions of the shared libraries that ship with Android. The root of the problem is that not everyone is on the same version of Android.

Regarding D2: If you're going to go with bcache, make sure you're using a kernel >= 4.5, since that's when a bunch of stability patches landed ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/5/38 ). Alte

Babel can parse Flow, which is similar to Typescript. However, Babel doesn't have any built-in support for inferring or analyzing flow types. However, some of this type information might be useful in building a more advanced closure-li

If you intercept every MemberExpression on every object, you can solve this (with the exception of eval), but as I said, it would be incredibly slow.
