Any plans to make it possible to run shellcheck on the embedded scripts?

Highly recommend the Dr. Stone anime if you're interested in a story with the premise of starting civilization from scratch but armed with the sum total of modern human knowledge about science and engineering.

I also wrote my solution in Rust. I was pleased that my approach gave me an opportunity to write a linked list and get the chance to apply some rarely used learning[0].

My solution doesn't use SIMD, but is actually takes about the same amount of time as the the solution in the article, given the same number of cores, though an glaring weakness of my approach is that it can only scale up to 7 cores as written.

Rough outline of how mine works:

- Set current best GCD to 1.

- Search through all valid board configurations.

- Bail out from the search early if the current partially generated board couldn't have a GCD greater than the current maximum found, e.g. if we've only generated two rows of the board, and the GCD of those two rows are already less than the max.

- Update the current best GCD as you find higher ones.

- Share the current best GCD value across multiple threads. That way the longer the program runs, the earlier and earlier the searches will start bailing out.

- Don't always read from the shared variable to avoid contention. Instead, each thread has its own copy of the last value it read which we compare with first before copying and caching the shared value.

- Another interesting property of this approach is that it can be used to validate the correct solution even faster than it takes to find it. Instead of initially setting the max GCD to 1, set it to `solution - 1`. That way branches in our search will bail even sooner from the beginning. This leads to the program running about 20% more quickly.

Out of Dropbox's long history of acquisitions, very few of the products from said acquisitions have survived. Did this factor into your decision to join Dropbox and if so how did you weigh that risk?

I was recently trying out Node's newish test runner [1] but wanted better error reporting and was grateful that Node provided an API that let me use any TAP-compatible error reporter. I did find unfortunately that most error reporters I tried seemed to have problems, the most common one was not reporting whether or not a test was skipped, which was a deal-breaker. In the end I settled for tap-mocha-reporter [2] since it worked well enough. I did have to end up patching it to not print extraneous new lines, I suspect an artifact of it using YAML for its internal representation. I do wish there was an error reporter that mimicked exactly the format of Jest, as it's what I'm most used to.

I don't know if its aim is necessarily to model anything you can do in JS. At the moment, TypeScript has zero understanding of prototypal inheritance and there hasn't been any visible progress in that direction.

These are the usual questions I seek answers to first when seeing a new programming language:

  - What does writing asynchronous code look like
  - Will it have any novel or less mainstream features, e.g.
    - Algebraic effects [1]
    - Contexts/Capabilities [2]
    - Linear types [3]
  - Is the type system sound and does it support/need type casts
  - Does the language support interfaces/traits/protocols
  - How rich are generics, e.g.
    - Explicit variance annotations on type parameters
    - Lower or upper bound constraints on type parameters
    - Higher-kinded types
  - Is structural vs nominal subtyping more prevalent
  - Does it have algebraic data types? Generalized algebraic data types?

How about making Github-Current actually have a good code review UX?

Thanks. I think by default, "do what you want" also includes the ability to redistribute the source code with a different license, so would probably need a clause to cover that at least.

From https://fig.io/privacy:

> Inevitably, there will be users who, for whatever reason, don't want their usage of Fig to be personally tracked. Of course. It's your data and software on your device. You shouldn't even need a reason. We want to cater to these users. And we will. But unfortunately, we are so early on in the process of building Fig that we need to be able to speak to our users. De-anonymising telemetry for the time being while minimisng the events tracked enables us to do this in a non intrusive way. But it is of course not for everyone. Therefore, once we reach a critical mass of usage in the coming months, we will then anonymise all telemetry, making Fig more accessible.

It has been several months since this was written. Are they still collecting de-anonymized user data?

The title should be changed. Chris never says that the core team, i.e. the people on the team, is toxic. He said that the environment is toxic which leads to behavior such as getting yelled at.

But what if your services are written in different languages from each other and they need to perform similar authz checks? Sure, each service might need be responsible for its own data fetching, but the actual logic over the data can be written in one common language (Rego) and have one single source of truth.

I remember there being a section demonstrating this in the manual for my TI-83 calculator [0]

It prompted me to learn a bit more about IFS and discover one of my favorite fractals ever. The word "chaos" where each stroke is made up of the word "chaos" [1]. I spent a bunch of time coding up the fractals on that site [2] on my calculator

As the CEO of a company that offers authz as a service it's a bad look to start a list containing your own articles and none of your competitors' instead of contributing to an existing resource like https://github.com/casbin/awesome-auth

Always happy to see companies thinking about typing

I wrote-up a high-level comparison between the type systems of TypeScript and mypy here that might be of interest to type enthusiasts
