The incomplete items that this update is about are an extra set of keycaps that I honestly can't even find where on the Kickstarter we were promised them. The main product successfully shipped long ago.

And they all are speaking at the GraphQL Summit today and tomorrow in SF!

Darcs was easy to use? Are you referring to the same darcs whose manual tried to explain concepts by making analogies to the simpler and better-understood theory of quantum mechanics?

Is the "import compatibility rule" (ie, `/v2` suffixes in package paths) implemented in vgo today?

Yup: https://guide.meteor.com/security.html#allow-deny

I just submitted a PR to the main Meteor docs pointing there: https://github.com/meteor/docs/pull/164

My goal in writing this post was not to convince people to use or not use MongoDB, but to document an edge case that may affect people who happen to use it for whatever reason, which as far as I could tell was inadequately documented elsewhere.

If I understand correctly, this method says "only scan the built in _id index, not any other index". Which means that you will not hit this index-specific bad behavior, but also that you won't get the performance characteristics of using an index.

This is not related to reading from secondaries. This issue can occur in single node systems.

Oh, wow. This looks like a really easy way to get a "turn on lights slow then play music" alarm... and some dance party blinky lights... and whatever else I bother to program!

Threadable is like Google Groups, except that whether or not the default reply-to is "all" is a user preference rather than a group preference, which made me so happy.

(There are other features too, which I entirely ignore without missing anything. In fact, other than "there are some HTML buttons in the email", which will probably also eventually have an option to turn off, our transition from our prior mailing list service was almost unnoticeable for somebody like me who didn't want to use the extra features. And that's a compliment.)

Exactly. Doing that by mistake (and then being taught to set `push.default` to upstream or simple) has been a rite of passage for engineers at my company.

Yep, as Arunoda says I'm actively working on it right now, currently hoping for an initial release this month.

I really appreciate the work Arunoda has done on smart collections; my implementation and his package have both learned from each other. That said, there are a number of subtle race conditions involved in synchronizing queries between the oplog and the main database, and working out all the little details as carefully as possible has taken time!
