Same here but i'm also curious how the new version of Protocol Buffers compares to Flat Buffers that Google released a few months ago. The flat buffers documentation explains fairly well why i should use that but why should i use protocol buffers instead of either Capn'Proto or Flat Buffers?

Not sure why they added that back but the website states that

  no older cryptographic primitives - rsa, dsa, classic diffie-hellman, md5, sha1, 3des, arcfour, ...

It is actually used in the code though. I didn't look into for what it was used though.

Missed the dry-run option but it still seems to require a key which requires you to pay. Talked with some on irc and it seems it's not possible at the moment. Someone mentioned gzip providing a good enough estimate on the compression without taking the de-duplication into account.

May be a bit OT but is there any way to create an archive locally and see the size of it before paying to figure out how much space i'd need?

Been looking at tarsnap for a while but never gotten around to actually try it and my quick naive calculations for backing up my ~ makes it sound too expensive for me even though it's probably the best alternative i've seen so far.

The biggest fear i have after reading all of the latest articles popping up is that it's too monolithic, just as a lot of other people. However from reading on their faq it seems they've split out into several different processes and if the processes themselves are well scoped i can't really see the problem?

I tried googling for something but i can't find any good documentation about what different processes systemd uses and how they interact and their roles in systemd? Anyone have any tips?

I'd say RHEL 5 is fairly outdated and that Windows is irrelevant for a non negligible portion of development shops as a development platform and as a deployment platform.

I don't agree with that it would run "virtually anywhere" but it should at least run on every platform that has binary compatibility with the platform that a container was built for? Getting docker to work on Windows might take a while but Mac could work.

I actually do think Docker or at least the container model will change a lot, i'm considering staying with Linux as my development platform instead of Mac and that's a thought i'd have laughed at two years ago and the sole reason is Docker.

Course codes 18.06SC and 18.06 i think if anyone else was looking. Thanks for the pointer, really appreciated!

> NT was designed by the team that did VMS in a 3-month retreat to Hawaii. the design they created has lasted with very minor modifications for the last twenty years. can linux say the same?

It's not necessarily a good design just because it has lasted for 20 years. It might just be that it's too expensive to change any of it. Although I should probably say that I'm not informed enough to judge

Yeah, i prefer that approach but i find that a lot of recruiters still insist on a resume despite having linkedin. Thanks for the link and inspiration though!

Any chance either of you could link? I've done it too but i was never completely happy with the result and it would be nice to see how other people have done it for some inspiration.

We use the same setup and really like that you share the entire terminal instead of just the editor. Is there any good reason to use this instead of tmux sessions? While it's kinda cool i don't understand why people are trying to put everything in vim instead of using other complementary tools.

Visa have this (probably others too) that you can generate and either set a time or value limit on. Don't think you can set a monthly limit though unfortunately. They call it e-cards (in sweden at least).
