This is wonderful. A silly reference dressed in 'hacker' style. It doesn't boost productivity, it's just joyful. Well done.

This might not apply to many who frequent HN, but not enough people know about Free File options.
If your adjusted gross income is less than $66,000 you can likely file your federal and potentially state taxes for free.
If you make more than $66,00 AGI, the IRS provides fillable forms that are pretty easy to use for your federal but might not be applicable in all circumstances.

I found myself getting lost among the various posts by rsc and the resulting HN discussions, I hope this helps someone else too.
All of the posts in this series on vgo are listed here: https://research.swtch.com/vgo. There will be at least one more, a FAQ on Friday.
And the most popular HN discussions about them (in chronological order):

Adam Savage has a great solution for storing hardware like bolts/nuts/bearings/etc., and I think it would work well for lego as well.

The README also mentions iOS, which AFAIK is only ARM.
There's also some ARM specific code: https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/tree/master/pexpert/arm
The Makefile also has ARM/ARM64 options.

What is your one-liner? I haven't figured out a great way to succinctly describe Sourcegraph.
They are an interesting company and I'm positive your endorsement is genuine. It might be worth mentioning that they sponsor one of your projects just to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

Much appreciated. Lots of great, technical blog posts I need to catch up on.
I have to admit, part of the reason I use Dropbox is that I know I can get answers directly from employees on HN.

From the last link, in 2016 "Proxy-Stack deployed at our edge PoPs to terminate SSL connections closer to our users".
Reminds me of the infamous "SSL added and removed here! :^)".
Does anyone know if there are any additional protections from snooping on their internal network?
edit: phrasing

I don't understand why she put simply "Professional", but prior to Equifax she was:
- Senior Vice President of Enterprise Security and Chief Security Officer at First Data
- Senior Director of Information Security and Audit Compliance at Hewlett Packard
- Group Vice President at SunTrust Banks
- Vice President of Information Technology at First Commercial Brokerage
- Vice President of Information Technology at E&I Cooperative Services

What is your proposed solution? How does one limit a free, public resource to only people with homes? A literal smell test?
How do people without homes "completely destroy the purpose"? Are they stealing books? Breaking computers? Barricading the doors?
Do you really believe that all people without homes have "given up on life"? Not a single one is "working hard and trying to excel in life"? Have you heard of working people without homes? Particularly in LA, SF, et al. where the cost of a home vastly exceeds the income of many people?
Do you think education could be a productive method for reducing the number of people without homes?

The third paragraph might offer the logical analysis you're looking for:
> The performance difference arises (we believe) because when working from an SQLite database, the open() and close() system calls are invoked only once, whereas open() and close() are invoked once for each blob when using blobs stored in individual files. It appears that the overhead of calling open() and close() is greater than the overhead of using the database. The size reduction arises from the fact that individual files are padded out to the next multiple of the filesystem block size, whereas the blobs are packed more tightly into an SQLite database.
