> Perhaps something similar to Nix throw in the mix, but more specific to a Python project. Any examples of how Nix itself doesn't do what you need? One example I can think of: Nix…

Yeah, they replaced the "Bitcoin proof-of-concept system" [0,1] with BAT for "blockchain-based digital advertising" [2]. [0] https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1036724148146384…

Initially, Brave was set up so a user could add bitcoins to an account and set a monthly spending target. Then Brave would split up that monthly amount and send it to sites based o…

In the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact [0], the USSR cozied up to the Nazis with a plan for dividing up the countries unfortunate enough to be located in between them. In 1939, the USSR la…

I'm trying to figure out whether node2nix [0] could help avoid package name/version hijacking vulnerabilities. Node2nix can convert a package-lock.json file to something called a N…

The author says it works both ways [0] (e.g., this test [1]), but I don't see a test with Python calling async JS. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14596163 [1] https://git…

This allows for calling synchronous JS functions from Python but not async JS functions, right? PyExecJS [0] also doesn't work with async JS, but Js2Py [1] might. [0] https://githu…

This blog post [0] is possibly related. It's dated March 12, 2015 and is about Google Code shutting down and how to migrate code to Github. [0] https://opensource.googleblog.com/20…

From the study: "[I]t is possible that migration flows could be a potential mechanism behind this effect. ... However, we do note that we found evidence against a migration explana…

We're playing around with related ideas here [0]. It's understandably slow-going, because it's a hard problem to make a system 1) respond correctly to highly-specified custom queri…

"JSON schema seeming to finally gain traction" Could you describe this further? Are you referring to http://json-schema.org/ or to more general efforts to bring typing to APIs, lik…

Can you give any examples of this coming from "SJWs"? Little confused by that specific part of your comment.

(Full disclosure: contributor) We went with transforms for the svg-pan-zoom library [0], but it's interesting to compare using transforms vs. the viewBox [1]. [0] https://github.co…

Looks good. If I can make a feature request, it would be great to see something like the Flickr Commons + GitHub for vector graphics, where people could release their work with a p…

Highland is a great option, even easier to use than Caolan's previous library Async.js. Re: Highland vs. RxJS, RxJS operates at a lower level interface [0]. As a plus for RxJS, Rea…
