can someone clarify if revokation is free with letsencrypt?

Also, who pays for all this infrastructure? Mozilla?


All the services provided by Let's Encrypt will be completely free, including revocation.


Not sure about revocation.

Sponsorship is provided by multiple companies, including Mozilla. See https://letsencrypt.org/sponsors/ and https://letsencrypt.org/2015/04/09/isrg-lf-collaboration.htm... for more.


I think that's the norm in this world. Most things are ubiquitous by accident. Nobody planned it from the start.


> https://github.com/servo/html5ever is the largest parsing library we use in Servo, and there are a bunch of Rust tricks done there. HTML parsing is hard (the spec is insanely complex), and this library does it well with much less code.

This might simply be because of a) Servo has no legacy b) Servo developers are awesome c) Servo is not complete yet

A large part of the complexity of HTML is simply quirks and compatibility. Which Servo does not handle yet.

Don't mistake all this as language wins...


> A large part of the complexity of HTML is simply quirks and compatibility.

Actually, the HTML spec already addresses those (that's why it is incredibly complex; unlike HMTL4 and previous, the WHATWG HTML Living Spec -- and possibly the W3C HTML5 spec, though I can never keep straight what that was in the WHATWG spec at the time W3C kept and what it didn't -- contains a complete specification of how compliant user agents should parse anything purporting to be HTML even if it actually isn't valid HTML (IIRC, a compliant parser may throw an error on invalid HTML, but if it is tolerant of errors, the spec specifies how it is to be tolerant, specifically to avoid the pre-HTML5 issue of different browsers parsing the same thing different ways. Modern browser either have converged or are converging -- some might still be lagging -- on that consistent model.)


Most comments here are so sad. Looks like most people are simple jealous of Yadav's success. People calling him a bastard and mentally unstable. Shame on you guys. Make me wonder what these commenters have achieved. Especially @arihant. Calling another a bastard and unstable is more telling of @arihant himself rather than yadav.


I said he isn't a "world-changing bastard".

And if you're running a 1500 crore company and spend time fighting on Twitter, crashing cars, impulsively resigning, abusing your own investors, giving away your shares impulsively, you would be hard pressed to find people who will call you stable.

Is there any guarantee that Rahul won't retract this decision by next week? There isn't, and that is unstable behavior.


Please don't pattern match the wrong things. Fighting /Crashing Cars/Impulsive could be said of any of the greatest founders including Steve Jobs/Bill Gates. I am not saying that fighting / crashing cars is a pre-requisite to building a great company. You can build a great company despite those characteristics.

Here is another anecdote: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9496238

I have a great story about a startup run by a bunch of insane guys. One of the founders cashed out a ton of money early and bought a $100k car; another founder's dorm buddy proceeded to wreck it within a month. Ron Conway's son used to bring cash to one of the founders, who blew it on drugs and partying while supposedly spending it on business development. Crazy. Irresponsible. Negligent. Bill Maris would NEVER invest in such people. All of the Valley VCs who are outraged with Secret and the founders' cash-out would NEVER want any of those guys in their portfolios. Too bad those crazy kids ended up building a $250B company, huh?


>> fighting on Twitter, crashing cars...

Wouldn't that put Elon Musk in the bad books as per your rather prejudicial yardstick of measuring the worthiness of a person at the helm of a company?

Also, it was Advitiya (the other co-founder) at Housing who crashed his car.


Correlation is not causation. Just because Elon Musk did so does not mean that rate of success among car crashing CEOs is not lower than the rest of them.

You've got to look at a nominal case, the median, not the outlying example to justify your mistakes.


I think the data belies your assumptions (see achow's post)


We'll, my assumptions are based on what I have observed personally, and that is, a lot of students and college going kids living in hostels use conventional browser based web-apps.

Everyone wants to compare prices before making any purchase, and with this, what you'll have is on one hand a bunch of websites that one can view in a browser tab, and on the other, a dedicated app which one has to put extra effort to navigate to.


I have never managed the readonly container to work.

/var/run needs to be writable. /tmp needs to be writable and so on. I gave it a shot again today:

$ docker run --read-only=true -ti ubuntu:14.10 touch /tmp/foo

touch: cannot touch '/tmp/foo': Read-only file system

How is this supposed to work? There is little to no information on how this feature works. Can you give me a pointer?

In addition, restart:on-failure appears to have issues if docker itself crashes.


Once inside the container, you need to mount a tmpfs at /tmp, and another one at /run (which /var/run usually links to).

E.g.:

    mount -t tmpfs -o size=256M tmpfs /tmp
(I'm not sure if/how you can make Docker do this automatically. I'd imagine there's a flag or something.)


You could use the CMD keyword in the Dockerfile to ensure that that's run every time the container is started


I get your point but I wouldn't put this as a trait of american society. It's what the world is moving to because specialization is a core skill in today's world. If you want to become good at something, you have to spend lots of time on it. I think the core issue is 'impatience'. People want to get good very fast. By the time they are 30 and thus spend all their time on one thing. Previous generation was happy to wait till 50 to get the same level of specialization. But because of globalization, it only requires one society to work insanely and it puts the pressure on the rest of the world to follow suit. If you don't follow, you will be replaced. If you think you cannot be replaced, it's only because you have spent an insane amount of time on one thing compared to others....

I do think the quote below is less and less followed today:

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

-Robert A. Heinlein


"People cook, play, and work out together, and everyone enjoys coming to work everyday. It’s hard to imagine what my life would have been without these memories with them."

What is this I feel.. envy?

While I cannot do this anymore because of family constrains, I do miss the days where I could hang around my colleagues all day long (who are still my best friends till date).

For a start, I would like to see http content and https self-signed content being marked the same way. The fact that https self-signed has a shocking warning right on the face and that http is just let through makes me a very sad camper.
