I had a little moment of hesitation before clicking on the link "Rich Roll" in the article..

Are you talking about VRML?

No, just a comment in the spec: "Note that an application may reinterpret an explicit size, depending on the context. E.g., inside a VR scene a font may get a different size because of perspective distortion."

You don't know what sort of settlement is happening behind the scenes ..

That article wasn't the first broad mention. I remember reading about BuiltWith being an outstanding one man project a couple of years ago, so I am in fact surprised the copycats took so long to show up.

Germain?

Also, the wording is still ambiguous. How about this:

"German Interior Ministry raids Indymedia and shuts it down"

Have you tried SC2? It requires some getting into, but the dynamics of the game and the relationships between different races and the tech tree is very well thought out (a well timed upgrade allows you to kill a given unit in 2 shots instead of 3, changing the balance dramatically).

In many ways, as an AoE1&2 fan, I find SC2 a good continuation of some of the best aspects of the RTS genre that requires both a tactical and strategic mind.

Metropolis?

I have been looking for an alternative to the Google apps ecosystem, to support mailing, calendar, contacts and document editing, but most importantly it should allow me to have "guests" contributors to documents I can share with them.

Anybody knows of a company providing such a service?

Sandstorm.io? I don't think it would cover everything... but it might work.

I use FastMail for all my mail, calendar, and contacts, and Sandstorm.io for collaborative document work.

Try nextcloud, rainloop, ether* on cloudron

What would hygienic mean in this context?

Not C macro-like source code manipulation as dummy string but as more smart structure like AST.

It's to do with how variables leak into scopes from (and to) macros, iirc

Can someone ELI5 how is this relating to, and complementing, Kubernetes? What does it do that Kube doesn't, and what does Kube do that Istio doesnt?

Kubernetes supports a microservices architecture through the Service construct and performs rudimentary L4 load balancing and more.

But it doesn’t help with higher-level problems, such as L7 metrics, rate limiting and circuit breaking.

This is where Istio comes in.

Disclaimer: I work on Istio.
