testcross··on Why Google Stores Billions of Lines of Code in a Single Repository (2016)
I don't understand why gitlab/github/bitbucket don't provide better tools for monorepo. This is a topic pretty trendy. But there is absolutely no tools helping with control access, good ci, ...

Most common use case for people using only the text editor part is probably the package manager downloading files in clear text.

No, I'm not involved. Can't tell you unfortunately.

testcross··on Observations running 2M headless sessions
Hey. What is the error rate you face? Like, how often it is not possible to render a page because the navigation fails, chrome crashes, a strange exception is raised by puppeteer, ...
testcross··on Observations running 2M headless sessions
https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/1159

I don't think we have a fancy usage of puppeteer. But still we get between 2% and 5% of errors depending on the version used. It's a small ratio, but at this scale it's a lot of pages.

testcross··on Observations running 2M headless sessions
At Ahrefs we are running between 130 and 170 millions sessions a day. The project started before the release of puppeteer. I can tell you the release of puppeteer saved me a lot of time. It's way more easier to keep a correct browser state using it than what was previously available. It also interacts well with lighthouse. I wouldn't call chrome headless stable or bug free (it doesn't even handle https correctly). But it's a good thing to have it available.
testcross··on A CLI game to learn Vim
Those games are always for vim. But I would love to have something like this with emacs using all the transposition commands or what is available from paredit/smartparens.

Interesting comment on lobste.rs to explain why the piece table is rarely superior to the gap buffer: https://lobste.rs/s/xpab69/text_editor_data_structures

He has no choice but to say that as it is a threat for his business.
testcross··on Show HN: Getting started with Puppeteer and Chrome Headless for Web Scraping
Do you know if it is possible to render a page without serving it from a web server? For example, I have the html of one page of my domain generated by a test. I would like to use puppeteer to render it. But I don't want to setup a http server for this. I would like to give a string with the html + a url to page.goto and let it render the page like it comes from the real server.

I guess I can cheat by intercepting the request and respond with the html I already have. But I wonder if there is already something existing.

What is faster than puppeteer? All the alternatives using electron look slower.
testcross··on Show HN: Getting started with Puppeteer and Chrome Headless for Web Scraping
Is it possible to launch multiple times const browser = await puppeteer.launch(); in a same nodejs process? I haven't find any information about that

testcross··on Linus: “I no longer feel like I can trust ‘init’ to do the sane thing”
The internals of systemd are maybe not the best. But the UI is definitely easier to grasp than what existed previously.
testcross··on Goism – Use Go instead of Emacs Lisp inside Emacs
How does it compare to something like https://github.com/janestreet/ecaml ?
testcross··on Reason: A new interface to OCaml
I love the fact that ocaml compiling to js allows us to configure tools like Atom. I will have a look at the plugin. Thanks for the informations :)
testcross··on Reason: A new interface to OCaml
Is nuclide good enough? A few weeks ago, a lof of merlin features were still missing. As was the auto-indentation.
testcross··on Reason: A new interface to OCaml
There is no IDE. But you can use merlin, which is amazing. Debuggers are not very developed, neither are linters.

For me, the development experience is pretty good. But it takes some time to get used to this new world. Conventions are not the same.

Yes, you can have a look at merlin: https://github.com/the-lambda-church/merlin
