Not sure if I agree with the scoring model here. I tried two phone numbers: my primary cell phone number gets a great 800+ score but reveals an accurate address history of 9 years. The second one gets a poor score (415), but none of the dat

I found https://github.com/pfpacket/rust-9p to be reasonably good and easy to hack on. My fork ( https://github.com/piscisaureus/rust-9p ) has some patches to improve support for the 9P2000.W dialec

This is the first time I've heard about a language called C--, thank you for that. The concept is not so unique as you might think tho; the more commonly used term is "tail call".

Ecma-402 support (the 'Intl' object, locale dependent number and date formatting, etc.) requires linking with the ICU library. We expect to support that in a future release.

Admittedly I didn't actually read the mailing list discussion. It's entirely possible that The Register made up a big drama where there was none.

I understand that reviewing 27k LoC is daunting and probably not very fun. But unlike most patches that draw a similar response it's not a narrowly useful patch that mostly serves the submitter. Proper NTFS support benefits a large pro

This is something that we'll further work out in future versions. For now you can use a lockfile: https://deno.land/manual/linking_to_external_code/integrity_...

Looks like the "founder" is https://github.com/ryankirkman . Doesn't look like he's MIA but rather distracted / doing something else.

Package validation (using a checksum or signature) is definitely on our radar. We just haven't gotten around to it yet.

If these batteries are as good as the one in my iPhone, they'll need to be replaced after a year and a half. Given that the plant cost 66M, sounds like they're going to make break even approximately. But kidding aside, how long ar

Although propel itself is written in typescript, supporting users that want to write javascript is an explicit design goal. The npm package contains "vanilla" javascript that targets node.js 8.x and later.

I find "beyond compare" to be a very good merge tool. It's not free, but not very expensive either, and works well with git. (I'm not affiliated with them in any way)

It uses an ioctl that boils down to 'an overlapped version of poll()'. So the call doesn't block - instead when an event like POLLIN or POLLOUT happens, a completion is posted to the completion port. Call this overlapped-poll

I know - I am one of the authors of libuv. However libuv is pretty big and imposes its own asynchronous i/o model onto your application. Later I discovered that it is possible to do efficient epoll emulation on windows so then I wrote

Shameless(-ish) plug: https://github.com/piscisaureus/wepoll is not a fat abstraction layer but it could help with windows support.

IMO Edge is a fine browser - snappy, stable, up-to-date with web standards. My big beef with it is that it tries to force feed me Bing wherever it can (even after switching the default search engine). That's a big no-no.

When green threads, fibers etc. were a hot topic in the node.js community I was pretty involved in core development. As far as I remember, we were never so much against the idea of it, but we didn't believe an actually good implement

I would suggest that browsers should support some kind of TOFU for self-signed certificates used by non-publicly accessible web servers. What if they'd just ask the user to accept and install a certificate when connecting to a local se

Yes, but as long as the file is openen by another process... - You can't delete the parent directory - You can't create a new file with the same name ... which makes that flag quite useless.

I wrote the windows bits for libuv (node.js' async i/o library), so I have extensive experience with asynchronous I/O on Windows, and my experience doesn't back up parent's statement. Yes, it's true that many A
