Is the column limit still a problem for Diesel? The 16 columns max default is not enough and even the optional 26/52 can be too little for some odd legacy schemas. I'm curious: is this a limitation that will be overcome as the library matures or is it intrinsic to the codegen architecture?

Most likely Mauritius would lease Diego Garcia to the US, just like the UK did, hopefully while negotiating a much better deal for the Chagossians.

It is not at all clear to me what lies behind Britains reluctance to concede here. They know very well they did wrong – violating their own rules – lopping off the territory in the first place. What if there really isn't any conspiracy behind the EU stance here, what if they simply vote what they believe is right?

Works great! On my project full builds went down from ~20s to ~17.5 and dev builds down from ~10s to ~7.8s! Good stuff. :)

Latest node (7.7.1) uses v8 5.5 I believe: does anyone know what the roadmap wrt to updating v8 to the latest version containing all this new stuff look like?

Surely you mean "nitpicketty"? :)

> And i am pretty sure a large portion of people outide the US see those three as bigger threats to their lives than Trump given US foreign policy.

I don't think this is correct. It is 100% not correct in the EU and I doubt people in the countries where US foreign policy is more heavy-handed – you know, murdering people from the air without trial and all that – actually believe in substantial policy changes after the election. I am pretty sure many fear more of the bad stuff.

I love the detailed description of the changes made and the reasoning behind it. Great read, thanks.

Do you have any performance numbers for other non-Node WS libraries, e.g. Go (stdlib and gorilla), Rust (ws-rs, mio-websocket etc), Python, Ruby? Would be super interesting to see!

Isn't that sort of the idea of splice.com? (And if it isn't, it is still a great idea!)

Idelwords is one of those blogs worth dropping everything you do and just take a deep breath and dive in and revel in the joy of clear thought expressed through clear prose. Love it. Thanks.

SDR and GNURadio, seems like the best first step! Thanks!

This looks neat, but for a total GNURadion/Satellite telemetry n00b, is there a birds-eyes overview on this stuff you recommend?

OP didn't quite say that Dart sucks though, did he? He said that coding in TS having to also cater to Darts needs/conventions sucks (which might be true or not, no idea really).

Can Caddy work as a reverse proxy to other backend services? And if so, can I use QUIC for the backend and plain TCP for the front-end? Would that give me any benefit?

Me too! It was such amazing fun and we really believed we'd make it big time. We built "VR tours" to art cities in Italy. A few are still online: http://www.girareggio.it/ and http://www.comune.bologna.it/girabologna/ and sort of kinda working. We used a Seitz Roundshot 220VR camera to take all the photos. Probably the weirdest camera I have ever used, quite special. As you say, it soon became clear that Apple was not investing any effort in QTVR (or in QT in general tbh) and I remember struggling writing a QT C-extension for our PHP-based authoring env. Good times!

Very interesting and very clearly explained for someone with no clue about these matters like me. I'd love to read a part two! :)

To keep said liberal democracy honest?

Continuously blown away with the quality and usefulness of Postgres. It is truly lightyears ahead of MySQL and I keep wondering wth took me so long to switch. Kudos.

This is quite lovely. Very good job. :)

I for one would be very curious to read about how this works (too lazy to read code right now!)...

We store a UUID in their browser and send that along so if they chatted before we un-archive their previous channel to give the Slack operator all the context.

We'd love to look closer at that (and will). There are rumours about Slack itself working on something similar, and then there's the screenhero acquisition a year back, but nothing definitive yet.

DISCLOSURE: I work at Chatlio

EDIT Slack has some recommendations on this: https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/208492868-Making-vo...

No, I don't recommend it. It's definitely a book for adults. I personally found it had many long boring parts mixed with very interesting ones. Very introspective.

Doesn't say anything about compilation speed. How close to 1.4 performance are we? The slow compilation on 1.5 has kept us on 1.4 so far.

> a proprietary centralized system that can block or cut them off for any reason.

As a startup founder – chatlio.com – betting on the Slack "platform" I have to say that it feels pretty great to know that they are not planning on cutting us off tomorrow morning... :) Might happen anyway of course, but this announcement means we can work somewhat more serenely for a while longer. I see this as a kind of "stability pledge" to third party dev shops.

Could Ruby have something thing like this too or is MRIs C api just too limited? Rice is the closest thing I know of and it was pretty gnarly to use.

What does the actual Lambda code look like in this case?

It does make sense, and thank you very much for taking the time to explain! :)

For the ignorant among us, do you have a link explaining what HIR/MIR is (and how it relates to Rust)?

old school tech: greenfield waterfall Java projects, very little dev-ops, big-iron databases (Oracle, SQLServer and IBM).

This is all anecdotal evidence from having lived in the city for not even a full year, so not saying I know something. It just seems like friends and acquaintances seem less inclined to try out the new stuff than in the US.

Sweden in general is weird though: there's like this stark difference between a smaller group of very competent people and a herd that seems to be pretty much stuck in its ways. The difference between the best and the mainline is greater than in other places. (or so it seems to me)

After having spent almost a year here I have to say that it's striking to me how much old-school tech I meet here. Ppl just starting to dip into cloud, Go/Rust hardly heard of and Rails+jQuery still perceived as the "new" thing. That said, good ideas and an entrepreneurial culture can flourish on oldish tech and there's no need to obsess over the latest, I just felt the difference compared to the us west coast was striking when i came here.
