Recursion and merging semantics are also necessary. I use Nix and Jsonnet a lot, but Nix is much more expressive for complex structures, but the tooling being tightly coupled with the package manage make it impossible to adopt for common use cases.
Re:uBlock Origin works best on Firefox on Monday August 22, 2022 @02:41PM (#32555438)
I don't recommend using dynamic filters because they completely override any matching static filters. Makes the point of filter lists useless, if uBo had a way to set dynamic filters to a lower priority than static they might actually be useful. At the moment the only way I found to replicate uMatrix was to use static filters to block by default on a per domain basis and whitelist domains per request type. It is a lot more work so I only do so for sites with user generated content (e.g. hn or reddit) that have links to who knows where that you might want to prevent from loading.

Re:All the giant companies used ffmpeg (2020) on Saturday December 25, 2021 @03:58AM (#29681631)
From sifting through the leak, it was a fork of ffmpeg they converted to C++, but still retains ffmpeg naming/structures. They dropped any code they didn't use also, so it isn't very much code.
They are probably referring to pre-silvermont(pre-2013) which were in-order execution.

There are some experimental tools for distributed code review and issues.

Would be nice to have something more polished though.
