Shameless plug backing up the fact it hasn't gone anywhere: https://draft.li/blog/2016/03/21/rss-usage-on-the-web/
(I'm the author of this last repo.)

You are correct that these no longer apply to the most recent Node versions. Crankshaft is still being used in Node <8.3.0.

Crankshaft got totally disabled starting from V8 5.9. Node 8.2.1 uses V8 5.8.283.41, Node 8.3.0 uses V8 6.0.286.52.

I'm pretty sure there is still a big number of projects running on Node <= 8.3.0.

I'll make it clear in this project README though, whenever I find time. :)

Hey! I created this repo, please respect the license?

They are complementary resources, "Optimization killers" helps you avoid pitfalls in practice, "v8-bailout-reasons" tries to document and explain the various Crankshaft bailouts.

Wow. This is an awesome idea, and a very easy one to implement. I'll think about it. :)

I agree with you: github is not suitable for this.

When I created this github repo, it was because stack overflow wasn't suitable for this. Then I created a website (the now defunkt resrc.io) which could pull these kind of lists from github, parse the links, have them tagged in a database, parse the link content, make it searchable, etc.

It still wasn't suitable. And I'm still looking for a suitable way of curating such lists, be it on github or anywhere else.

Re:Freely available programming books on Tuesday July 05, 2016 @12:53PM (#12037784)
I'm the author and maintainer of this project, which seems to end up here once a year.

Since I don't want to answer to every post suggesting something, I'll do it here: I know we could do better in terms of curating this content.

I would be very happy to discuss ideas towards the goal of better curation of these lists. Please open an issue on github or shoot me an email!

I also have to say I started this thing 3(?) years ago, and today I have less and less time to take care of it. I closed around 1800 PRs, which means almost 2 per day over the last years. I'm extremely grateful to the contributors helping me maintaining this and I'm glad it's been useful to a couple million people (according to the stats). Should anyone serious want to contribute in a more involved way, please step forward, I could really use some relief. :)

My email is on github, my twitter is in my HN profile.

Re:Basic income plan clearly rejected by Swiss voters on Sunday June 05, 2016 @09:05AM (#11840719)
It wasn't 2500 bucks. The text Switzerland voted on today said something like:

> 1. The Confederation has to implement a basic income.

> 2. This basic income has to be sufficient to live in dignity and participate to public life.

> 3. The basic income amount and financing are regulated by law.

Nothing regarding the exact amount. Swiss people were asked to vote on an idea, not on a specific amount.

Lack of good hardware/laptops.

I had a Lenovo X200s for over 4 years and finding a viable replacement is almost impossible.

I am saddened by the fact that there are no i7 / 16GB / highDPI with decent keyboard at the price of a 2015 Retina MBP.

We had the same experience launching a chat on HN last week. Some valuable feedback, but some pretty brutal comments as well, and lots of (failed) crash attemps.

I'd be curious as well. No idea how it compares to the others.

Is there a color-blind mode available?
Re:Ask HN: What projects are you working on? on Saturday June 28, 2014 @08:32AM (#7958023)
I'm trying to collect and gather all free programming learning resources from the Internet and index them. URL : http://reSRC.io

[edit] Feedback is welcome!

Ask HN: How to engage users?

Hi HN,I built a website to gather (all) online learning resources (ambitious, I know), and over the past few months 2,200 users signed up, but almost nobody participates. I'm sure every user has at least a link to contribute to the website, and I made it easy for people to share their resources.How do I get my users to engage more ? What advice do you have ?

How is this different than `tree`?
It is not a startup, it is public service. But still, it needs some design work, don't you think?
Take a look at beautiful docs[0]

I'm very interested as well. Currently looking for a designer to help me work on the frontend of http://resrc.io
